Despite the overnight rain, the thick clouds in the sky had not dispersed until dawn. The dim light can tarnish the scenery a lot, but it also brings coolness and comfort to the mountainees. After learning from the Internet that there is a cable car in Cangshan, I made up my mind to experience it no matter how expensive it is. But when I actually stood in front of the cable car door, I suddenly realized that the real problem was not the ticket price of the cable car, but the cables that were hanging in the air, too thin and too sloping. Looking at the cable car swaying in the air in front of me, my heart trembled. The tickets have been bought, so naturally there is no reason not to go up. I timidly boarded the cable car and sat down cautiously, for fear that the cable car would fall because it was carrying a little more weight. I thought that as long as I looked straight at the carriage in front of me, and didn't look out the window at the terrifying deep valley and forest, I wouldn't feel scared. However, as the cable car slowly climbed, the carriage in front of me gradually withdrew from my view, and I could no longer avoid the oncoming mountains and the huge drop from the ground. This situation of being in the air, with my feet not touching the ground, reminded me of the day when I rode the Ferris wheel. I didn't seem to panic as much as I do now, because the Ferris wheel wasn't high? Or is it because I'm not alone? The sadness inexplicably diluted the fear in my heart, and before I knew it, I dared to look out the window at the magnificent mountain scenery.

At the exit of the cable car station, there are many local farmers selling their home-grown fruits and vegetables. These all-natural foods instantly aroused my curiosity growing up in the city, but the homestay did not provide guests with a place to cook, so I had to buy some fruit to satisfy my hunger. In retrospect, the last time I climbed the mountain was many years ago. I remember that it was the autumn outing of the second year of high school...... At that time, as always, I endured the exclusion and isolation of everyone, except for sadness and tears, the autumn trip did not leave me any other memories. Even now, my heart still feels uncomfortable every time this familiar scene reappears. Fortunately, the memories of the past no longer have the same powerful influence as they once were, and they can no longer be a source of pain for me, let alone a source of despair. Whenever I think about it, I can't help but guess the thoughts of people who can't wait to go back to their childhood. Perhaps they think that the world of adults is much more difficult and cruel than the world of children. However, they seem to ignore that children's world also has a difficult and cruel side, and what is even more sad is that children's strength and ability are often not enough to deal with those difficulties and cruelty. And the unfortunate part of them can do nothing but wait silently, for help that will come at some point, and if it will come, until faith in everyone is lost. Like me. Actually, I realized early on that I couldn't wait for the help I wanted, but I didn't stop waiting. It's not because I still have any expectations, it's just that I don't have the ability to change, so I can only wait and avoid the problem. Eventually, I was able to come to the point where I was proud to be able to face the past and the future, and that's why I prefer to be who I am now.

Sentimentality aside, I strode into the mountains. Although Cangshan Mountain has a high altitude and there is no shortage of cliffs, there are many gentle sections of the main road, and it is not difficult to walk. Due to the favorable climate and fertile land, the vegetation of Cangshan is very dense, blurring the ups and downs of the mountain. Standing on the observation deck on the edge of the cliff, you can see that the continuous mountains and forests are like a green ocean, and the momentum is very magnificent. I was thrilled to take countless photos, and then tried to take a video of the panorama with my phone so that I could relive the shock in the future. After seeing the stone chessboard, Longquan and Zhonghe Temple, the scenery along the road becomes monolithic. Along the way, as far as the eye can see, there are not only green trees and grass, but also flowers, let alone wild animals. At first, I was not bored as I walked and collected the pine cones that were intact on the ground, but later, when the bag was full of pine cones, the surrounding scenery still did not change much, and over time, I couldn't help but feel a little tired. The road ahead is long, there is no end in sight, and the sparse number of pedestrians makes me feel uneasy. Fortunately, there are few forks in the main road, so there is no need to worry about getting lost. I walked for a long time in a trance, and finally found a road sign, but it was written that it was still four kilometers away from the next landscape. This completely dispelled the idea of going all the way. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will eventually become boring after watching it for a long time. I wouldn't mind continuing to walk through the cool woods if there was music to accompany me, but unfortunately I forgot my headphones at home......

Follow the original path and turn back, and it is only noon when you return to the ancient city. Taking advantage of the free time when I was waiting in line to eat pork ribs hot pot, I used a memo to make a list of people who wanted flower cakes, and then read them back and forth a few times, for fear of missing something. After all, it's a joy to receive a gift, and I don't want anyone to miss out on it. After a full meal, I walked around the ancient city with a leisurely pace. After tasting the flower cakes at every shop I passed, I decided to go back to the first shop and buy souvenirs. As soon as I entered the door, the waitress enthusiastically introduced me to various flavors of flower cakes and dispelled my concerns about the limited space in my suitcase. It turns out that many shops in the ancient city offer free shipping services for full amount. Thinking that I didn't need to carry the flower cakes home myself, I couldn't help but buy a few more boxes. After trying too many flower cakes, my stomach was still holding up until the evening. So, I went around to the other side of the old city and continued to wander. Compared to the most prosperous areas of the ancient city, it seems a little deserted. Except for a row of small shops on the side of the road, most of them are private houses. After buying rose tea and handmade brown sugar in an elegant little shop, I turned around and walked towards the outskirts of the ancient city. On the road leading to the city gate, there are a number of battery car shops, and when you get closer, you find that they also provide rental services.

"Rent a small motorcycle, let's ...... around Erhai Lake"

The words of the shopkeeper immediately attracted me. When I learned that the rent was less than 100 yuan a day, it was even more difficult to contain the excitement in my heart, and I immediately decided to put on hold my original plan to take a boat trip to Erhai Lake.

"Which car is better for beginners?" I asked tentatively.

"What, you haven't ridden it?" The shopkeeper looked at me suspiciously.

"I can ride a bike......" I replied humbly.

"We don't rent to people who can't ride......"

"Uh...... Okay......" I looked at the cute bikes in the store and sighed in disappointment.

Probably unable to bear to see my pitiful appearance, the eldest sister of the store kindly suggested that I go to the place where I rent a three-wheeled electric car. Following the instructions of the eldest sister, I found a rental car near the city gate. According to the person in charge, this three-wheeled electric vehicle is not only simple and easy to learn, but also takes into account the safety of travel. For example, its built-in positioning system allows staff to quickly rush to the scene to provide assistance after receiving a request for help. Although these bright yellow tricycles are not as cute as the small motorcycles, they are my best and only choice. After inquiring about the charges and opening hours, I returned to the B&B with excitement and re-planned my itinerary for a cloudy day.
