Soon after we entered Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo, Henan Province, we saw several steep peaks suddenly rising from the flat land in the north and covering the northern sky like dark clouds, which really made people feel very surprised. At that time, I thought, "This mountain must be very difficult to climb." However, the following experience made me change my mind, because we were not going to climb the mountain at all.
On the first day, we visited Xiaozhaigou. After entering the mountain gate and then entering the mountain, I unexpectedly let out a cry of surprise: "Hey!" The mountain here is nothing like the one I saw before. If Mount Tai gives the impression that it is broad, then Yuntai Mountain gives the impression that it is steep; If the impression of Himalayas is awe, then for Yuntai Mountain, you can only say "lovely and radiant". At first, when I saw the landscape paintings of ancient people in China, I always felt unrealistic and exaggerated. But if you go to Yuntai Mountain, you will find that there is really such a steep and beautiful mountain. They have no hillside, but they suddenly rise in a straight place. The mountain wall is almost vertical. It's just that at the peak, they will become various postures, such as camel's head, sword, or a girl who is ashamed to cover her mouth ... Every mountain peak is covered with green trees, plus white clouds, just like a few bamboo shoots. At that time, a word immediately popped up in my mind: green is about to drip.
The car turned around on the mountain road, sometimes slowly climbing, and sometimes rapidly descending. After the ladies exclaimed many times, we came to Xiaozhaigou. The biggest feature of Xiaozhaigou is water. Just entering the gorge, I saw the snow-white waterfall flying down and falling into the deep pool, making a thunderous noise. We thought this should be the most beautiful scenic spot, so we were busy taking pictures as a souvenir. But we were wrong. The most beautiful scenery is yet to come.
We can climb along the terrain next to rapids and waterfalls. The rapids constantly change their posture between the two peaks. Sometimes it is a straight waterfall, flying down and splashing a pool of foam. Sometimes it's a series of slopes, where water falls, falls, and then falls ... between boulders; Sometimes, it is a clear stream or a dark green pond. Flocks of small fish swim around in the water, sometimes swimming in the same direction like migratory birds, and sometimes swirling like a small whirlwind. There are also some quiet swimming. No one is surprised to see the huge waterfall, and no one is happy to see the clear spring. They just swim and swim quietly ... The most ingenious thing is a little dragonfly on the edge of the canyon, with sapphire wings and lapis lazuli shining, flying smartly among wild flowers and green trees, teasing girls and children who want to catch them. ...
In the place where the water is slow, on the boulder in the clear water, several bold girls sit there to rest. The spring water on the two stone cliffs overflowed from the pores of the cliff walls and turned into water mist to sprinkle on their long hair, soft lips and pink faces, nourishing and moistening them. They stroked their hair slowly with white and slender fingers. How many young men's hearts will be touched by that beautiful gesture! They are looking at the scenery, but it is the most touching part!
The best thing is that at the end of the canyon, there are towering peaks on three sides, but there is a fine waterfall flying down the peak. First, the water curtain, then the water drops, turned into water mist halfway up the mountain and drifted away with the wind, like a spring rain. I think this may be the reason why Yuntai Mountain is foggy.
If Xiaozhaigou is characterized by beautiful water and agility, then Hongshixia is characterized by cliffs and magnificent scenery.
The next morning, we came to Hongshixia. I was shocked when I first entered the canyon. The road under our feet is a path cut on the cliff. Looking down, it is an abyss, and only in a deep place can you vaguely hear the sound of water; Looking up, it is a steep cliff, and there is only a sky between the two peaks. People approached the cliff timidly, only a few brave young people occasionally leaned out to have a look, and then quickly shrank back and shouted, "Oh, how deep it is!" Oh, how terrible! " And this cliff is all purple. Strange rocks rise abruptly above, some like goshawk, some like an old turtle at sea, and some like a building, covering half a canyon. ...
Go inside, the cliff is steeper. The tour guide said: someone by destiny can see half a Guanyin statue on this cliff. I didn't see Guanyin, but I saw Manjusri Bodhisattva. Because there are many stones like tree trunks on the wall, which protrude slightly from each other. Looking from the elephant's nose to both sides, you can see a standing bust of Buddha with feet, legs and even a skirt pleat at the waist. But if you look up, you can't see the Buddha's head. Some people stand upright, some people lean sideways, and some people show their plump palms. I thought, "Why does the Bodhisattva only show some gods to believers? Perhaps this is what the folks say,' the dragon sees the head but doesn't see the tail', or there are 72 phases like Guanyin, and only the bust can be more mysterious! "
There is also a waterfall group in Hongshiya. The first is a huge waterfall, rumbling and crashing down. But the bottom is not a deep pool, but a flat rock, so it stirs up water several feet deep and flies in the air. The swaying posture is not like drizzle, but more like snowflakes and catkins dancing with the wind ... shining in the sun. The girls quickly put up their umbrellas, screamed and staggered past. Then I looked back at this huge waterfall in surprise. Further inside are small waterfalls of different shapes, some of which bend from the top of the mountain, ringing, and some of which are hidden among the green trees and moss on the wall. What's more interesting is that in the small hole on the wall, several Junichiro Koizumi, like several naughty boys, stand in a row to pee. After passing the slimming stone, we reach the end of the scenic spot, but the canyon has no end, just getting narrower and steeper, like a deep gap cut by a knife, and we can't move forward.
In the meantime, we also went to the Monkey Valley, where a few little monkeys were playing on the rocks and among the branches, which was also quite interesting.
