After finishing the trip to Mount Wutai, I took K603 times at Wutaishan Railway Station in the early morning and started the next stop, Yuncheng.
Day 5: It may be that I was tired from climbing the mountain, and I slept soundly on the sleeper overnight. I arrived at Yuncheng Railway Station at 9:40 in the morning.
After exiting Yuncheng Railway Station, take a bus to live in a hotel apartment. This apartment itself is nothing, but the Dongxing Shangshang Plaza supermarket downstairs is really worth talking about. As a person who drinks milk like water, since I arrived in Shanxi, I have been unable to buy fresh milk, and there is no fresh milk in the supermarket. It is really aggrieved and uncomfortable. I have asked in several supermarkets in Datong, but none of them have. In fact, I have encountered a similar situation in Ningxia before. It's strange that these provinces have plenty of mutton, but why don't they have fresh milk. This time I finally bought pasteurized milk in this supermarket in Yuncheng, which saved my life. By the way, the best milk is in Xinjiang. There is a chain fresh milk shop in Urumqi (it seems to be called Zhengfei). The pasteurized milk in it is really delicious. It kills brands such as Youyoube Meiji Asahi. Everyone has a chance Definitely go and try it.
Returning to the main story of the book, after coming out of the apartment, we first went to Jiezhou Guandi Temple. From the urban area to Guandi Temple, you can take No. 11 directly, and the drive takes about 1 hour. Get off at the gate of Guandi Temple. After playing, just wait for the bus across the road from the place where you got off (there is no stop sign).
Guandi Temple ticket reservations need to be made on the WeChat public account, but it is relatively smooth, and you can enter with the free ticket and ID card booked on site. Yuncheng Jiezhou Guandi Temple is one of the three major Guandi Temples in China. Guan Yu was defeated in Maicheng, was killed by Sun Quan's army in Dangyang, Hubei, and later presented his head to Cao Cao. Therefore, Guan Yu's head was buried in Luoyang, Henan Province, which was called Guanlin; his body was buried in Dangyang, which was called Guanling; The entire Guandi Temple was almost built in the style of a royal palace. The reason is naturally that Guan Yu was revered as a martial saint by later generations. In the Guandi Temple, there are many royal brushes of Kangxi, Qianlong and Cixi. But the most worth mentioning is the Chunqiu Building, the innermost building. The second floor seems to be suspended above the first floor, and the colonnade seems to be hanging outside the first floor from a distance. In fact, there are beams hidden inside. The architectural technique became "hanging beams and hanging columns". Come here and ponder carefully, you will definitely be impressed by the exquisite architectural skills of ancient craftsmen.
Walking here, the ancient buildings have been visited, and there is still a large park if you continue to move forward, but they are all modern landscapes, and there is nothing to see, but this season coincides with a large area of peonies in full bloom, which is true. In one scene, one of the peonies bloomed in three colors, which was really amazing.
Coming out of Guandi Temple, take No. 11 and return to Yuncheng City. After a simple lunch, I rushed to the Salt Lake Scenic Area. And this salt lake scenic spot is the biggest pit I want to tell you. The Salt Lake Scenic Spot is a 4A-level scenic spot, but I missed it for a while and didn't notice that it was not included in the list of free ticket attractions! At that time, I was a little hesitant about going to this scenic spot, because the evaluation on the Internet was really not high. But considering two points, one is that it is very close to the city, and it is very convenient to get there by bus in a few stops; the other is that it is also free of charge (it may be the only 4A-level scenic spot that is not free of charge), so I decided to take a look . In fact, the scope of the salt lake is very large, and a road passes through the lake, so the bus station can be understood as the center of the lake. After getting off the car, you can already see the salt lake beyond the horizon. But it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk from the place where you got off the bus to the ticket office of the Salt Lake Scenic Area. Hey, once again the greed for petty gains gained the upper hand, and the opportunity to stop losses was lost again. I went to the ticket office and showed the reservation record of the Tour Shanxi Mini Program, but was told that the ticket was not free. I couldn't believe my ears, so I hurried to read the list of free ticket attractions announced in the applet, and found that there was really no such attraction. However, since there is no one, you can make an appointment for Mao in your applet, isn't this a scam. Forget it, now that we are here, the pure ticket is only 10 yuan (the ticket seller strongly recommends a combined ticket that includes items, but I ignore it), so I still don't give up. Ask the staff what is the difference between the landscape after entering and the landscape at the door. The staff replied that the color of the lake inside is darker. Hey, just like that, I didn't stop, I bought a ticket and went in. I really don't want to hit the south wall and don't look back. Entering the Dead Sea Salt Lake Scenic Area in China, I found that the scenery was exactly the same as the outside. The so-called colorful lake water or snow-like fireworks did not exist. It may be that the season is not right. Anyway, I feel that IQ tax has been charged. One more thing to add, when I went back to the apartment where I lived, looked out the window, and found a panoramic view of the salt lake, hey, I felt more and more that I should recharge my IQ.
Day 6: On the second day of Yuncheng, the arrangement is to climb Wulaofeng. From Yuncheng to Wulaofeng Scenic Area, there is no direct bus or long-distance bus, so you can only take the bus to Yongji and get off at Wulaofeng. However, the place to get off is at least 3 kilometers away from the ticket office of the scenic spot. It is uphill all the way. It is recommended that if possible, it is better to take a local car to save energy. After all, there is still a long mountain road to climb. After we got off the bus, we found that because it was not the peak season yet, the legendary locals didn’t have any tricycles, so we had to bite the bullet and walk up the mountain. Fortunately, there was only one straight road, so we would never get lost. After walking not far, I was lucky to meet a little brother who drove pastries to the mountain. The two of us sent us to the ticket office for 15 yuan, and we were happy to sing that today is a good day. Show the appointment record and ID card, scan the QR code and fill in the fire and smoking ban notice, and enter the scenic spot smoothly.
The entire Wulaofeng Scenic Area can be roughly divided into four sections. The first section is from the gate of the scenic spot to the starting point of mountain climbing, taking a scenic car; the second section is from the starting point of mountain climbing to Lingfeng Temple (ie Taiyi Peak), It is recommended to take the route of Xiaohongya and Dahongya, which are only 1.2km, with 2399 steps, and the normal speed journey takes about 1 hour; starting from Lingfeng Temple, there are two roads in the shape of a Y, and it is recommended to go to the main peak Yu first Zhufeng, because one is that this route is more physically demanding, and the other is that another route can be used to go down the mountain without going back. The third section is from Lingfeng Temple to Yuhuang Temple on the top of Yuzhu Peak. The journey also takes 1 It is about an hour, but the difficulty is slightly higher than the previous one. After climbing to the top, you need to return to Lingfeng Temple; the fourth section is from Lingfeng Temple to Qipan Peak, and the end point is the Immortal Chess Platform. Within 30 minutes, all the main scenic spots of Wulaofeng have been swept away. The route down the mountain can choose to return to Lingfeng Temple from the original road of Qipan Peak, and then return to the starting point of mountaineering on the same road. This is the shortest distance, but it is not recommended Go back and go down the mountain from Qipan Peak directly from the side of Liangshen Temple and Heilongtan. Compared with the route up the mountain, this route is gentler, but the distance is about 2.5 kilometers longer, and a section of it is a suspended plank road.
As far as the natural landscape is concerned, Wulaofeng is better than Wutai Mountain. The mountain is steep and beautiful, with dense vegetation. This season coincides with the blooming mountain flowers, yellow forsythia, white azalea plum, red peach blossom, pink cherry blossom and bladder fruit. , although not full-bodied all over the mountains and plains, but dotted with dots just right. The most important thing is that the few tourists in the scenic area make you feel like a private room, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery quietly.
Wulaofeng is not like Huangshan Mountain. It is a famous scenic spot just a few steps away. There are basically no special scenic spots along the way, but it does not prevent you from accidentally looking up and finding that a certain rock looks like a hand or a Animals are full of wildness. You see, how important it is to have a pair of eyes to discover beauty and a rich imagination.
When climbing to the top of Yuzhu Peak, there are two forked roads. The official tip of the scenic spot is to take the right route. In fact, if there are few tourists, the routes on both sides can climb to the top. The left side is the stone step road, and then you need to walk a long cable bridge to reach the peak; the right side is to climb the steep and steep The original stone steps and iron hanging ladder climb to the top. When we climbed to the summit, it happened that the weather was foggy or even drizzle, and the road was very slippery, so several groups of tourists on the road were worried about safety and gave up climbing. Our experience is that the climbing route on the right side has a high risk factor in wet and slippery conditions. The first half of the stone steps are irregular and smooth natural rocks, which require both hands and feet. The second half is a hollowed-out ladder. For me The fear of heights is really not friendly enough. The mountain on this section of the road is okay, but the risk factor is too high in rainy days, so it must be avoided. Climbing to the top from the left side is much less difficult. The stone steps are newly built and unconventional, but the overpass is a soft cable bridge, and the distance is relatively long. We took this road down the mountain, the overpass leads to the end of the thick fog, and unconsciously, the idea of unknowing the depth of the clouds popped up. Because it is in the canyon, you will obviously feel the lingering mountain wind when you walk halfway, and the whole cable bridge will shake obviously when you walk up. My little heart is called a chug, and my two hands are tightly grasping the sides. I didn’t bother to take a photo in the middle of the bridge.
Compared with the fun of climbing Yuzhu Peak, Qipan Peak is much more dull, but from Qipan Peak you can have a panoramic view of the entire Yuzhu Peak.
Coming down from the mountain, this time I will no longer take shit luck, walk all the way from the scenic spot back to the side of the road, and also take the shuttle bus from Yongji back to Yuncheng City to return.
So far, the journey of Yuncheng has come to an end. Let’s talk about the food in Yuncheng. We experienced a famous local restaurant in Yuncheng. In the Huanghe Building Hotel, the business is very prosperous. It seems that we have seen many people in the local system entertaining people. I will not mention the name of the restaurant. The dishes It's really hard to describe. The most famous Yellow River carp was found to be warm and cool when it came up, so don’t expect it to be freshly made. It is estimated that it was served before it was even hot. It just fell apart, and the taste was salty; I ordered a mung bean cake, but when I talked to the waiter later, the eldest sister said honestly that this is not mung bean, but actually made of peas. I can’t laugh or cry; This is the only dish that I spit out after taking a bite. How embarrassing for a large carnivore like me, please be careful.
After Meimei sleeps, she is ready to rush to Changzhi the next day, ready to start the trip to Huguan Taihang Grand Canyon.
