From Beijing to Qingdao, it can be said that we took a trip to Wan Li Road to see Laoshan Mountain, and about three or five friends went with us. We temporarily forgot the chicken ribs in the market and worked hard in common affairs, and "stole half a day's leisure" and enjoyed a happy life for a while. Unfortunately, Hualou Scenic Spot caught up with "two or three rainy days in front of the mountain" and it was still raining at Yangkou, but it was a wonderful mood to watch Laoshan Mountain in the rain.
Most of the hills on the peninsula are below 1000 meters above sea level, and steep places are rare, so is the mouth of Laoshan sheep. Driving to the scenic spot is about two o'clock in the afternoon. When I first entered the scenic spot, the first thing I saw was a foggy scene. Climb along the hillside 100 meters is the stone step road of Panshan Mountain. The road is a little slippery because of the rain and moss. Fortunately, although the mountain road is rugged, it is not steep, and it is easy to enjoy the scenery along the way, which is not exhaustive at all. There are lion peaks, sheep stones and so on. Slightly higher than the foothills, and then the Taiping Palace. It is said that this "sea palace" has some origins, and it was mentioned in the Song Dynasty. I don't know if it really happened, but it's still a sideline. I didn't do any textual research because I was not interested in Taoism.
Panshan Highway has a winding path leading to a secluded place, and the strange mountains and trees in various poses are dizzying. After dozens of steps, the peak turned around, and suddenly a cliff on the back was engraved with a big word "Shou", which was about seventy or eighty feet high and was called "Shouzi" peak. There are countless longevity characters on the wall, which is known as "the first longevity in the world". There is an open platform in front of Shouzi Peak, from which you can see a corner of the sea through dense shrubs. It is misty and rainy, and it is as wonderful as a fairyland.
At the foot of Shouzi Peak, climbing up the steps along the stone path is the cave for finding heaven, which is "narrow at first, only people can pass through". Tian Mi Cave is formed by two peaks at the top of the mountain sandwiched between several huge stones, and there are caves that can be shuttled or climbed. Above is Tianyuan, probably the top plain! Although the fog locks the mountain, there are still many people queuing to climb the mountain, and it is said that there are no lights in the cave, so it is necessary to bring lights. This can be confirmed by several vendors selling small lights in front of the cave. Unwilling to join the excitement, the fellow travelers turned back to the seaside.
There is Yangkou Bay at the foot of the mountain, which belongs to the corner of the Yellow Sea. I don't know whether this mountain is named after the sea or because of the sea. However, the mountain looks interesting. Rocks and green trees are strewn at random, and light colors and dark colors alternate with each other, just like an ink painting completed in an instant. This is the poetic beauty that I can't appreciate in the mountains.
The distant mountains, like the tentacles of insects, stretch lazily to the seaside and the sea, and gradually blend with the deep blue sea. "The smoke is still, the shadow is heavy, and the blue is completely dark." In the drizzle, it is even more difficult to tell where the mountain is and where the sea is. Probably the end of the sea is a mountain, and the end of the mountain is the sea, which gives people a very distant sense of space and imagination.
The beauty of Laoshan Mountain has aroused the sigh of colleagues that "the scenery is always there, but people are not often there". It is also a pity that we can't see all the beautiful scenery in the world for a while. But I think, when the clouds are falling and the colorful areas are bright, the extinction of green hills, blue sky and blue sea, especially "the mountains reflect the sunset and the sky meets the water", is another extremely delicate, beautiful and moving sight! By that time, "five or six champions, six or seven boys, bathed in interpretation, dancing in the wind and singing back", quiet and comfortable, it is also beautiful to think about it!
