On the other hand, it may make me fall in love with traveling again. At the weekend, my wife and children and I chose to have a picnic around chao yang shan with our donkey friends.
Get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, start at 6 o'clock, have breakfast halfway, and go to chao yang shan in Qixian County at 8 o'clock. Chao yang shan used to be the Forbidden City in the Yin Dynasty, where Yin He kept warm in winter. The mountain pass is Chaoyang Temple. Chaoyang Temple was built in Wuding, Eastern Wei Dynasty for seven years. It is built on the mountain, standing on the precipice, with cornices and corners, and looks like a castle in the air, so it is also called "Hanging Temple". Because the temple faces chao yang shan in the north, with exotic flowers and grasses of pine and cypress, and the sun shines brightly, such as Cai Feng in Dangyang and Cuipan holding the sun, it is also called Chaoyang Hanging Temple.
? We parked at the mountain pass, packed food and equipment into our backpacks and started hiking.
? The mountain is neither high nor steep, which is most suitable for weekend leisure and fitness. As the mountain turned two bends, a short arch bridge appeared in front of us. The bridge is written with three red characters "Pudu Bridge", which makes people feel that I, Buddha Pudu sentient beings, walk across this bridge as if I were far away from the world. The clear water under the bridge is like jade, which makes people feel clear.
On the mountain road, there is a valley on the right, where hay stands tall and rocks are everywhere. There is a stone in the hay, and Dani writes the words "Lover Valley" on it. There must be a beautiful story circulating here, but unfortunately we can't know it without a guide.
?
We soon reached the top of the mountain. Now, at the foot is a large open and gentle slope. A group of horses are eating hay leisurely, so let's whistle and tease. They just wagged their tails calmly, as if telling us not to disturb their happy life.
Cross this hillside and walk down the mountain road. After a short walk, you will reach Liang Qing Temple. This is a buddhist nun built halfway up the mountain. China red is the main color, which is especially bright in mountainous areas in late winter. I didn't see a nun, but a middle-aged woman was leaning against the wall of buddhist nun. Her eyes seemed to be staring, basking in the sun and thinking.
? After leaving Liang Qing Temple, walk back to the hillside along the original road, and then continue climbing from another direction. The mountains are endless, and so are our steps. The mountain road is close to the cliff, and on the other side is the abyss, and it is very narrow, and in some places only one foot can be accommodated. The years are long, the rocks are weathered into pieces, spread on the narrow path, and the feet keep slipping, so we have to put all our thoughts under our feet, but we can't consider enjoying the beautiful scenery.
I looked up and began to marvel at the beauty of the scenery. Looking up, the mountain wall stands upright and goes straight into the blue sky; Peaks with connected bottoms and separated tops are like Optimus Prime.
All the way forward, at the foot of Laozhai. Legend has it that because of the dangerous terrain, it was occupied by bandits and became a bandit's nest. Bandits often rob villagers and demand ransom, but the people complain but can do nothing.
? Going up the mountain road again, I can't tell whether to go up or down. Because the mountain road is circular, the last few steps are necessary. But we are still spiraling up, and we will soon reach the grain collection hole. It is said that Yin's grain is hidden in this grain collection hole. Go further and you will find grandma's cave.
? When you are tired, sit on the floor, and everyone takes out dried fruit food, regardless of you and me, just eat something and move on. After walking for a long time, I turned over N hills and finally reached Diguling.
? The terrain here is flat and the flocks of sheep are quite a bit of a prairie. The son was very excited and rushed to a sheep, hoping that it could become his own mount. However, the sheep turned and ran away from him. It is said that there is only one family in Diguling, but it has modern equipment such as wind power generation.
? There is a road between Guling and Hongshanling. I have always doubted whether it can be called a "road"-it is just a few huge rocks. We climbed carefully, because there were no peaks on the opposite side, and the mountain wind was particularly cold and suffocating.
? Cross that heavenly road and you will reach the foot of the red mountain. This is also an open grassland with flocks of sheep. We found a hillside with a sunny lee and began to have lunch. Roast chicken, biscuit cake, and all kinds of fruits are in a mess, and they are still eating at random. We talked and laughed while eating, and it was quite emotional to live in a big family.
? Full, I lay down for a while and began to climb again. Hongshanling is the highest peak of the mountains, and the road up the mountain is steep and almost upright. Only by using both hands and feet can we move on.
? After all the hardships, we finally climbed to the top of the mountain. Looking down, the mountains stretch and the clouds are lingering, which makes people wonder whether they have been in a fairyland. Looking down at my feet, I felt the pride that "other mountains are dwarfed in the sky". .
The road down the mountain is still steep, almost vertical. I slipped and sat down on the ground, and my palm was pricked by a sharp stone, which was burning. From time to time, there is a stone hut by the roadside, and the door is open. We speculate that the shepherd may have built a shelter himself.
? From eight o'clock in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, we hardly stopped and walked more than twenty kilometers. Everyone is tired, except for the "click" sound of the trekking pole hitting the ground and the "rustling" sound of shoes stepping on the gravel, it is very quiet.
? We have a rest under an old tree. An experienced donkey friend sat on a boulder under a tree and took pictures. We jokingly called it "the vicissitudes of an old tree and an old donkey (friend) in the world".
? I finally reached the foot of the mountain. If you want to reach Chaoyang Temple at the time of departure, you need to pass through several villages such as Dachanhua, Xiaochunhua and Dashiyan. I'm so tired that I almost broke down. My son simply won't go, and my father carries me on his back. It happened that two left-behind donkey friends drove to pick them up. At the moment they saw the car, their inner surprise was beyond words.
? One day's picnic is over, and it's hard to say how tired and happy you are. I hope I can go on an outing with my dear donkey friends next time.
