Looking for shadows in Moon Lake, overlooking the seaside in Juyan. Those poems and books that have been turned over for a long time in the hands are reopened. The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei who wrote Helan Mountain thousands of years ago came, as if walking with each other, and heard aloud reciting in his ears: "When I was fifteen or twenty, I walked to the temple. Riding on a horse. Helan Mountain is like a cloud under the formation, and the feathers are crossing and they are heard day and night." Ma Zu, a poet of the Yuan Dynasty, came here often: "Helan Mountain goes down to the west of Helan, and the eighteen-year-old girl wears a high bun. Qiangen dyed her clothes to shine like clouds, but she called Qu Tan to be her husband. Purple camels carried wine in the west of Liangzhou in exchange for gold and iron Horseshoe. Sand sheep with ice fat and honey white spleen, and the drinking place in the tube." The 18-year-old Xixia girl with her head tied up in a high bun and her clothes dyed like a rosy glow was sent to the front of her body, making people's eyes bright, beautiful. ! . Beauty is also Helan, Qi is also Helan.
Deep winter is approaching, and after a snowfall, the Helan Mountain National Forest Park also puts on new clothes. The Helan Mountain National Forest Park, which is covered in silver, has turned into a fairy tale world. The sea of ​​clouds breaks through the snow, like a fairyland. At sunrise, the sky gradually takes on color.

Thick clouds and mist shrouded the entire Helan Mountain, and the halo of the morning glow was like an overturned palette, adding charming colors to Helan Mountain.

Fortunately, I went to Helan Mountain National Forest Park, located in Ningxia District. When I heard the word "forest park" for the first time, what I thought of in my mind was the feeling of southern-like forests and moist and fresh soil. But after thinking about it, Ningxia is located in the northwest, and the climate is relatively arid. It should not be the luxuriant branches and leaves as I understand it, perhaps, it is a different flavor.

The field of vision follows the bus that enters the mountain all the way, from the city to Helan Mountain, and passes through the Northwest Film and Television City on the way. What comes to the face is full of simple and rough atmosphere, strong Northwest style. I remember that the movies "Journey to the West" and "Red Sorghum" were filmed here. Although there is still a distance from Helan Mountain, my emotions have been soaked in the rough Northwest flavor, and my mood began to look forward to it.

Finally the bus arrived. The sky is high and the clouds are wide, and the color is clean like a medieval oil painting. After checking the ticket, you need to take another bus to enter the depths of the scenic spot. The bus in the scenic area is caught in the mountains. Occasionally, you can see a petite but agile blue sheep. If you don’t observe carefully, it is easy to miss it, because its fur seems to be dyed by rocks, and the color is very similar.

The rocks on both sides are rugged and majestic, with unique shapes, which look like the northwest. There are also two temples on the way, named Sanqing Temple and Lingguang Temple. But I heard from the tour guide that Lingguang Temple is very aura for Buddhist believers to visit. As the bus shuttles through the mountains, the road passes through nine bends and finally arrives at the destination. The scenery at the foot of the mountain is already pretty good. A thin stream falls from the mountain, and it is especially white against the backdrop of the rocks.

The cable car moves slowly, and the mood seems to rise with it. After arriving halfway up the mountain, I started to walk up the mountain. There are mostly Chinese pine, spruce and other forest trees on both sides. A faint rosin enters the nostrils, and there are occasional medlars, a touch of reddish embellishment.

On the way to climb, you can pass a high-altitude canyon cable bridge. Many tourists hesitate to climb on the railings and dare not move forward.

In the end, I went to the Century Tower, which was the end of the climb. Many tourists who arrived were extremely excited, and even some aunts sang folk songs from their hometown, with a straightforward and charming voice, with a strong Northwest accent.

Only then did I really look at this Helan Mountain. It stretches to the distance, rugged and majestic, some with pines and waves, and some with picturesque cliffs. There seems to be a clear dividing line between the mountain and the sky. Although it has never been as high as the clouds; it is not as difficult as the road to Shu; Hanzi, a witness to history, has a heavy feeling.

Within an area of ​​nearly 100,000 hectares, towering natural forests such as Chinese pine, juniper, and spruce stretch as far as the eye can see; rare shrubs such as red cherries, purple lilacs, and powdered Mongolian almonds are all over the valleys and gullies. The four-season landscape created by layers of forests and seas is colorful and endlessly changing, which is amazing.

Especially stepping into the depths of the forest park and climbing to the top of the green pine forest, one is already in the vast forest, looking down at the Baizhang cliff, looking at the lush greenery, the ancient pines stand between the cliffs, and the remaining snow remains on the top of the mountain. The bursting, cloudy, majestic and steep landscape brings a beautiful state of mind of returning to nature and being intoxicated with nature.

Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold general in the Song Dynasty, famously said "drive a long chariot and step through the gate of Helan Mountain", which made the name of Helan Mountain widely known all over the world. Climbing up to Qingsong Ridge and looking around, there are verdant trees, clouds and mist, and a myriad of weather. In the vast forest, you can also see running red deer, jumping blue sheep, and playing blue eared pheasants. Take a deep breath, as if all the pressure in your body is dissipated between heaven and earth. Dear friends, if you also hate the crowds, the same small bridges and flowing water, why not come here (Helan Mountain National Forest Park), let the fatigue brought by the city dissipate in this mountain, and feel the pure Northwest flavor.
