The Qingming holiday is coming soon, where should you go to play in Qingming, you must be very sad again. It doesn't matter, today Maomao will introduce you to Jiexiu-Mianshan, the birthplace of the Chinese Cold Food Festival. Compared with the Five Sacred Mountains, Mianshan is much less well-known, but today's Cold Food Festival starts from here.
According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, when Duke Wen of Jin fled, Jie Zitui, an aristocrat of the Jin State, followed Duke Wen of Jin. But when Duke Wen of Jin became the overlord and rewarded everyone, he forgot about Jie Zitui until someone reminded him. But at this time, Jie Zitui didn't want to be rewarded by Duke Wen of Jin, so he took his old mother on his back and went to the deep mountains. In order to force Jie Zitui out, Jin Wengong set fire to the mountain, but forgot to leave a way out. The fire burned for three days and three nights, and unfortunately Jie Zitui was burned to death in the mountain.
After hearing the news, Duke Wen of Jin was very sad and indignant, and ordered that no fires should be lit in the whole country on the day of Jie Zitui's death, and only cold food should be eaten. This is the origin of the Cold Food Festival. And Yang County, where Mianshan is located, was officially changed to Jiexiu, which means the place where Jiezitui lies dormant.
Today's Mianshan Mountain has been fully developed, protected and maintained. There are currently 14 major scenic spots and more than 360 small scenic spots in the whole mountain. The scenery is beautiful and charming, and there are different experiences in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Let me introduce it to you today. The first is the way of travel. Students from other places can choose to go to the hotel near the Jiexiu Railway Station to rest and start the next day.
Here I suggest that you choose the bus that goes directly to Mianshan. First, the price is relatively affordable, and second, it is also very convenient. After arriving at the foot of the mountain, you need to transfer to the bus up the mountain. The fare is 50 yuan. Students who suffer from motion sickness can prepare motion sickness medicine in advance. Because the road up the mountain is a winding mountain road, the terrain is relatively steep, and it is easy to get motion sickness with seven turns and eight turns. So it's best to prepare early. Then we arrived at the entrance of Mianshan Mountain, where we need to buy tickets again, the fare is 105 yuan. Students with student ID can enter at half price.
Regarding the scenic spots in Mianshan, Mao Mao here recommends the following three scenic spots.
The first one is Longji Ridge. Longji Ridge is a famous scenic spot on Mianshan Mountain, covering more than 20 scenic spots. The more famous one is the huge stone sculpture of Jie Zitui and his mother. The milky white stone carvings perfectly reflect Jie Zitui's literati temperament, and the mother beside him looks at her son with a kind of loving eyes, which makes the tourists feel strong A strong heart of filial piety. At the same time, Longji Ridge is also a place for the promotion of many Taoist civilizations. Since Li Tang, many Taoist-related activities have been held here. Today, Longji Ridge still retains the traces of the activities held at that time. Interested friends can take a closer look.
The second is the flyover. When you come to Mianshan, you must take a walk over the overpass anyway. The overpass is a plank road built on the edge of the cliff, more than 300 meters long and over one meter wide. It is named "overpass" because of its steepness and steepness. The most suitable weather for walking on the overpass is when the rain is over and the sky is clear. Just after the light rain, there is still a layer of fine clouds. When people walk on the bridge, the clouds often surround the surrounding or under the people's feet, giving people a feeling of walking in the clouds. The feeling makes people feel ecstatic, as if they have entered a fairyland. Old people usually refer to it as rising to the sky. If you happen to catch up with such good weather on the day you go, don't miss it!
The third is Shuitaogou. There are ten waterfalls of different sizes in Shuitaogou, often accompanied by rainbows. If you come here in summer, the climate is cool, and the water splashed by the waterfall is like crystal, which is refreshing. When you look at the outside world through the splashing water, the curtain formed by the water splash will add a different color to the landscape.
Hat Hat suggests that it is best to travel in spring and summer, because not only the climate is suitable, but also it is easy to see some rare natural scenery.
Regarding lunch, it is recommended that you buy it in the supermarket at the foot of the mountain. Although the price is more expensive, it is not convenient to carry food from the bus to the bus. It not only restricts travel, but also increases the burden. The pressure causes the packaging bag to break, and the gain outweighs the loss.
