Huangshan is the watershed between the Yangtze River and Qiantang River. It is located in the south of Anhui Province. It is about 40 kilometers long from north to south and 30 kilometers wide from east to west. The whole mountain area is about 1.200 square kilometers. Huangshan Mountain, 500 miles away from Fiona Fang, is a treasure of the motherland.
Looking down from the air, in a tree-lined landscape, there are thousands of beautiful peaks and valleys filled with clouds, lush and colorful. But who would have thought that the Huangshan Mountain in front of us was actually a granite group formed by the solidification of magma in the crust hundreds of millions of years ago; These numerous peaks, large and small, are actually the result of "carving" and "decoration" by skilled craftsmen of nature through sun and rain and water erosion! Geologists tell us that more than 200 million years ago, Huangshan was still a sea of Wang Yang. After more than 100 million years, the sea receded, leaving a hill. Later, in the violent crustal movement, strata fracture and magmatic activity formed the foundation of Huangshan Mountain. Up to 70 million to 65 million years ago, during the geological period called Cenozoic Tertiary, the Himalayan Movement took place on the earth, and Huangshan Mountain was formed around this period. Two or three million years ago, the earth entered the Quaternary Ice Age. Due to the long-term influence of the cold climate, Huangshan Mountain has been greatly eroded, and the terrain has changed greatly, forming various strange shapes: there are many strange peaks and rocks. There are wonders in the peak, and fairyland is everywhere. When tourists come to Huangshan Mountain, they are naturally imagining things, asking questions and being unconstrained.
The majestic Huangshan Mountain stands tall with peaks. The altitude of Tiandufeng is1810m. As one of the three main peaks of Huangshan Mountain (Lotus Peak, Tiandu Peak and Guangmingding), it seems to be Tiandu among the peaks, hence the name "Tiandu Peak". This is a dangerous peak towering into the sky and full of emptiness. It is high and dangerous, which makes tourists daunting and sighing.
Now from bottom to top, there are climbing stone steps, guardrails and chains. However, this road is still too steep and dangerous. When you step on this slippery step and climb almost vertically with a shaking iron rope in your hand, if you look back behind you, you will be scared involuntarily. From a distance, climbers, men and women, old and young, one after another, continuous, filed up, like the same hanging ribbon, fluttering among evergreen trees. Near the top of the mountain, the stone steps are narrow enough for people to pass. People support each other, take care of each other and encourage each other when climbing. Although they don't know each other, they seem to be a mountaineering group because of their different goals.
Now, when we climb to the top of Tiandu Peak engraved with the words "reaching the peak", it is like a success after a struggle, and the scenery in front of us gives us an extremely rare sense of satisfaction. Looking around, the peaks are undulating, the sea of clouds is surging, and the peaks are looming, just like ships and islands floating on the sea of Wang Yang. At this time, we can't help but feel surging, full of thoughts, up and down for thousands of years, Wan Li, suddenly flooded into our minds. It's really "infinite scenery with dangerous peaks"!
After the first day, we passed the "Penglai Three Islands" and went straight to Yupinglou. On the top of Manjusri Cave in Yuping Building, there is a Gu Song who broke the stone and lived for more than a thousand years. One of its long branches hangs low, as if an attentive host is stretching out his arm to greet and wave to distant tourists. This is the famous Huangshan welcoming pine at home and abroad.
Huangshan Mountain is known as "no stone is not loose". Pinus taiwanensis mostly grows on the high mountains from 800 meters to 1 700 meters above sea level, and mostly grows in the cracks of cliffs. The needles of Pinus taiwanensis are short, thick and dense, with flat tops, strange green branches. Their shapes are ever-changing, such as standing, lying, straight, leaning, oblique insertion, side hanging and so on. No matter what posture, it shows tenacious vitality, not afraid of the wind and rain of the years, the oppression of ice and snow, standing on the dangerous rocks, holding your head high in the sky. What a magnificent style this is!
The highest peak of Huangshan Mountain is Lotus Peak. It stands alone on the peak, as if it were a new lotus in bud. Climbing to the top of the mountain and looking at the sky is really fascinating.
Walking down the "100-step ladder", you can see the "Aoyu Peak" with a strange stone on it, like a "snail". It looks like a giant octopus is going to swallow this snail in one bite. However, if you look at it from another direction, it looks like an octopus carrying a beetle.
From the side, the "Feilai Peak" in the West Sea looks like a huge stone peak flying from a distance and hanging on other stone peaks. But from the front, it looks like a peach, and people call it "Xiantao Peak".
Huangshan's famous lingshi "Monkey Watching the Sea" is a stone monkey squatting on the lion peak. It's really hard to have such good patience with it. For thousands of years, it has been motionless at the clouds floating in front of its eyes. On sunny days, although there is no vast sea of clouds, there are unique scenery. At the foot of the mountain, there is a picturesque pastoral scenery in Taiping County. At this time, people call "the monkey sees the sea" as "the monkey sees peace".
Among the peaks of Huangshan Mountain, those high and low, competing to climb high and varied, give people a rich imagination. Just listening to their names is enough to give you the illusion of traveling in a paradise. "Five Old Men Going to Heaven", "Sisters herding sheep", "Immortals getting out of their sedan chairs", "Old Monks going into caves", "Pigs eating watermelons", "Fairy Embroidering", "Immortals on stilts" and "Eight Immortals on the Sea" are all anthropomorphic and cannot be separated from the spirit of immortals. Rabbits Look at the Moon, Scarabs Explore the Sea, Two Cats at the Mouse, Monkeys Embrace Peaches, Rhinoceroses Look at the Moon, Squirrels Jump in the Sky, etc. These are metaphors, and they are all inseparable from animal modeling. In Huangshan, you can meet many "fairy friends" and visit a strange "animal world".
The peaks and stones of Huangshan Mountain have been carefully touched by people's wisdom, adding joy to human life in the tranquility of nature. This is a high combination of Huangshan's external beauty and internal beauty.
The peak is the home of the cloud, and the cloud is the clothing of the peak. The smoke clouds in Huangshan Mountain are also a must in Huangshan Mountain. People are above the summit, such as climbing the sky clouds, and the light clouds sway from east to west. As soon as you get up and down, you are at arm's length, as if you were lovers of mountains and peaks. In a year, Huangshan is immersed in clouds for more than 200 days. The faint clouds, billowing and billowing, and the sea of smoke are thousands of miles away, making the thousands of springs and valleys of Huangshan Mountain hidden in illusion. The beauty of clouds, the softness of clouds, especially the dancing of clouds, make Huangshan show a kind of beauty of stillness and movement. Clouds make Huangshan a dreamy art palace. Who can imagine that billions of years ago, those molten magma solidified into such a fairyland for us!
However, all this of Huangshan Mountain is particularly charming only under the brilliance of Hua Guang. In the morning, when it is still dark around, tourists get up and watch the sunrise in the morning dew. Because of their longing for the sunrise in the sea of clouds, they forgot the fatigue of climbing the mountain the day before and the chill before dawn, and hurried to the cool platform at an altitude of 1 700 meters, waiting for that exciting moment. Of course, not everyone is lucky enough to see the sunrise and get what they want. Many people have encountered gloomy weather, so it's a pity. However, as long as he sees the sunrise of Huangshan Mountain, he will definitely engrave this unforgettable moment in his heart. If the sunrise on Mount Tai is solemn and sacred, then the sunrise on Mount Huang is incomparably magnificent, spectacular and brilliant!
When a white belly appears at the dawn of the East on the distant horizon, people hold their breath, waiting and expecting. When the sun shone brightly, the crowd cheered. This voice is full of excitement, but restrained, because everyone doesn't want to destroy the solemnity before dawn. Perhaps it is due to physical factors such as dust and light refraction. Breaking through the fog of the North Sea, the sun is dark red. However, in a flash, the sun seemed to be purified once and turned into pure orange. The light drove away the darkness, and everything around became dazzling and colorful. The blue sky, silhouetted peaks and pines, colorful clouds and sunset are changing endlessly under the action of high-altitude airflow, which makes people feel like they are in the magical fairy mountain Qiongge. The scenery is really hard to describe in words. Ah, the sun! People's feelings for it are naturally unparalleled. Whether it is a newborn red sun or a dying sunset, it is a huge red fireboat, covered with colorful and ever-changing rosy clouds, giving infinite vitality and gentle care to everything in the world. Even if the sunset leaves us with darkness at night, there is nothing to be afraid of. The shining stars are like kindling left by the sun in the dark. It guards the sky and people's hearts. In order to welcome a better sunrise tomorrow, we will give new inspiration to those who have the courage to struggle. Probably for these reasons, people appreciate the intoxicating scenery at sunrise and sunset and praise everything born in fire and light.
After tourists go down the mountain, they often take a hot spring bath in the hot spring bathroom near the foot of Huangshan Mountain, and those who are in high spirits will go to the indoor hot spring swimming pool to have a good time. This spring water with just the right temperature will wash away the fatigue of climbing mountains, and it is so refreshing and comfortable. Only at this moment can you have a warm feeling about the hot springs in Huangshan and marvel at them!
