Travel notes of Tiangui Mountain

On the occasion of world tourism day, our goal is 4A Pingshan Tiangui Mountain. Baidu map simulated the road map, and my mother, two friends and I simply cleaned up and set off. ? The sky is gloomy and my heart is uneasy. I'm afraid it will rain, which will affect my trip. However, when we entered Yuxian County, our father-in-law Sun faintly revealed half of his face, and we were only slightly relieved. We passed the Swallow Cliff where we used to play and climbed to the top of 18 along the winding 207 national highway. Why is it called disk 18? The male driver's friend said that it was named like this because there were about 18 nearly parallel sharp bends winding down the high mountain peaks until the bottom of the mountain. He used to drive a big truck and used to walk here. This is very dangerous. If he is not careful, his car will be destroyed. At present, there are still many big trucks on this expressway. The distance is mountainous, cloudy and foggy. This fairyland-like feeling made his girlfriend shout that it was so beautiful. It's a pity that I can't take this beautiful photo. Following the slow-moving big truck, I began to go down the mountain, turning one corner after another, and avoiding the big truck returning in the opposite direction from time to time. I was so scared that my heart was in my throat, but my heart was full of infinite sighs. In the absence of construction machinery, how did people get out of this winding mountain road in the past? Forget the number of girlfriends, but I can't figure out if it's 18. When I finally went down the mountain, I breathed a sigh of relief and had the opportunity to notice the beautiful scenery of the roadside village. Has entered the territory of Pingshan, everywhere are crops, yellow and green persimmons, like small lanterns, covered with branches, black dates, like glass balls, and green hawthorn trees, covered with red hawthorn fruits. From time to time, villagers push wheelbarrows to transport the fruits of a year's labor home, which is a busy scene. ? After many lively or quiet villages, after more than two hours' drive, we finally entered the destination Tiangui Mountain Scenic Area. Scenic Spot Introduction Tiangui Mountain is a famous mountain temple scenic spot in northern China, 80 kilometers away from Shijiazhuang. There are many strange peaks, strange caves and strange springs in the territory, with lush trees and misty clouds, and it is known as "Guilin in the North".

Many tourists posed for photos in front of the mountain gate.

? Tickets 65 yuan, we are about to start our journey. As soon as you enter the mountain gate, the first thing you see is a small pond covered with green lotus leaves and an artificial rockery on the island.

There is a small pool next to it, and Koizumi is spraying cool water drops. Let's take a group photo!

? Then there are the stone steps, and on the stone steps, there is a small arch with flowers, dotted with pink peach blossoms, which is particularly eye-catching. I can't help holding beautiful peach blossoms as a souvenir.

Isn't it "peach blossom on the face"! Ha ha! It stinks!

Mountain people are selling all kinds of mountain products souvenirs and greeting tourists to buy them in their dialects. Unfortunately, they appreciated more than they bought. Further on, through the ticket gate of North Wudang, you can see the tall Sanfeng Hall, and the big scarlet letter "Gui" on the mountain behind the hall is particularly conspicuous. There is also a big Tai Chi map on the open space in front of the temple. The innermost circle is Tai Chi, the middle circle depicts 12 heavenly stems, and the outermost circle is 24 solar terms. On the other side are black dates that have been entrenched for many years and are full of fruits. There is also a gossip stove in the corner near the stone steps, which is engraved with eight directions of the Gankun earthquake. Why are there so many Tai Chi Eight Diagrams? Because Tiangui Mountain is a place of Taoist practice, it is named "Northern Wudang". Seeing my girlfriend and I sitting cross-legged on Artest map, is there a feeling of doing yoga?

Above the beautifully carved jade steps is a hall dedicated to ancestors. In the middle of the temple gate is a stone carving of a beast. As for what kind of animal, my mother said it was a lion and my girlfriend said it was a unicorn. I don't know. There are trees on both sides. The trees are covered with red strips of blessing, some of which are written with various words of blessing, and there are wooden signs on the stone railings, all of which pin people's longing for a better life.

Following the route guided by the scenic spot, we began to March into the mountains. The steps paved with bluestone are neither urgent nor slow. In the middle of the two steps, pebbles are combined into various patterns, which are very beautiful. We also laugh that this is a foot massage! There are all kinds of artificial puddles on both sides of the road, but there is no water. The small wild flowers on the roadside are quietly blooming, which makes the tourists tired of climbing the mountain. There are small stone tables and benches for rest everywhere. Our favorite young couple, with beautiful music in their backpacks, walk hand in hand, chat and hum a few words to the music from time to time. It feels sweet! My girlfriend also bought a stick for my mother on the roadside to facilitate the elderly to climb mountains. Thank you very much. My daughter didn't expect it.

After a stop-and-go period of time, we finally passed through a cave and came to Erdao Lingguan Pavilion. Stone railings are wrapped in large pieces of red cloth, some of which are still very old, obviously for praying and so on. A stout tree twists and turns outside the road. At this height, you can already see the scenery below with a sense of distance, and then you can see the Huai River Spring.

? It's another mountain road, so I finally don't have to work hard. A fountain, a beautiful woman carrying water, is another touching story. The tourist map of the scenic spot indicates our location and the route we want to play. The next scenic spot in Huaiquan is a relatively flat road. After a short rest, we will continue to visit at a brisk pace.

? Small squirrels can be found everywhere in the forest. When someone tried to film it, they were too scared and rushed into the Woods, making it difficult to find a trace.

? Walking, we came to the 1997 "Return to China" monument on the cliff. Gui is the largest Chinese character in the world. Carved on Baizhang Cliff of Tiangui Mountain. On the day of Hong Kong's reunification, it was 97.7 1 m high and 49. 1 m wide, which embodies the people of China and the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC). The total length of the outer edge of Guizi is 430 meters, and the whole work is 5000 square meters, which has been recorded in Guinness World Records. Skyscrapers are grounded and have far-reaching significance!

? Further on, you will arrive at Xiuxian Cave in Zhenwu. The scenic spots at the entrance are marked in Chinese, English, Korean and Japanese. In a stalactite cave, it records the whole process of becoming immortal by real martial arts. It's cool in the cave, only a few lights are used for lighting. When we walked outside, we were all sweaty and cold. My dear girlfriend almost got lost in this dark cave, hahaha!

Continuing our journey, the next scenic spot "Qinglongguan", the central scenic spot of Qinglongguan is a tourist area with the historical and ancient buildings as the main scenic spot and natural scenery as the background. The ancient temple on the mountain was originally a secluded palace built by Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. Because Chongzhen was hanged in Jingshan Park, Lin Qingde, a professional eunuch in the palace, changed the palace to Qinglong Taoist Temple. More than 300 years ago, incense reached its peak, with more than 100 Taoist disciples. It was called northern Wudang in ancient times! In recent years, after expansion and reconstruction, greening and beautification, there are more temples, steles, pavilions, winding corridors and green trees! Due to the age and severe weathering, the historic site is covered with glass and the original text cannot be seen.

Kuixingge looks from a distance and has beautiful scenery.

? Wenchang Temple, seeking talents.

This is the palace of Emperor Chongzhen. According to historical records, there were many insurgents at the end of that year. Emperor Chongzhen felt that Daming's luck was running out, so he asked Lin Qingde, a confidant eunuch, to leave Beijing with an imperial edict and choose a secret place to build a palace. Lin Qingde traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers in the north, and saw that "its land is secluded, its mountains are high and beautiful, and sometimes it looks like a phoenix dance", which is regarded as a treasure trove of geomantic omen, so he built a grand palace in the imperial palace system. When the project was about to be completed, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing and Emperor Chongzhen hanged Jingshan Park. Lin Qingde heard the news and wept bitterly. Later, it was changed to Qinglong Taoist Temple, dedicated to Emperor Zhenwu, who looks the same as Emperor Chongzhen. Since then, it has been more than 300 years, and it has become the place where the Han people sacrificed the Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen before Zhenwu Emperor. Once the incense was at its peak, it has now become a famous Taoist holy land in the north, and even known as "Wudang in the North".

An ancient ginkgo tree stands in the courtyard, still lush after wind and rain!

? We sat on stone tables and stools to solve the lunch problem. A civet cat meowed and ran to our feet. Its fur is very smooth. She doesn't eat anything else, but she likes ham and sausage.
