Life is not easy! Really tired, allow yourself to relax once! You can choose to sit on the balcony, drink coffee, and breathe the fresh air; you can choose to run in the fields and feel the embrace of nature; you can also choose to have a difficult and tortuous journey, but finally see the most magnificent and peerless scenery!
I am already in the third grade of junior high school this year! To be honest, I'm really tired! Therefore, I want to walk into the mountains alone, experience the difficult mountain roads, and experience the peerless beauty at the same time! Feel the uncanny workmanship of nature and the philosophy of life...
Among countless mountains, I chose Wutai Mountain, because, from the arduous hiking process, I experienced the true beauty of nature and the magical atmosphere of Buddhism!
However, my travel spirit is: high quality and low price--use the least money in exchange for the most beautiful scenery and the most extraordinary experience!
Mount Wutai·Taiyuan trip, start!
Let me tell you a brief itinerary:
9/30 Shanghai Railway Station-Z196-Shijiazhuang North Railway Station (no seat)
10/1 Shijiazhuang North - Mount Wutai_Dongtaiding (12 km on foot)
10/2 Dongtaiding_Northtaiding_Bathroom Temple (18 km on foot)
10/3 Bathing Pool Temple_Zhongtaiding_Taihuai Town-Nanshan Temple-Taiyuan (15km on foot)
10/4 Taiyuan-Jin Temple-Shanxi Geological Museum-Shuangta Temple-Taiyuan Station-Shanghai Station (Taiyuan by bus)
Arrived in Shanghai on 10/5, ending the journey!
I wanted to go to Mount Wutai three times before, but I didn’t make it for some reason, but this time, I made it! I really have a predestined relationship with Mount Wutai, but the journey is not easy. Because, there is no seat on the way out!
Depart from Shanghai Railway Station on 9/30
18:14 Stop, the pleasant journey begins?!
Departure at 18:51: I have thought for a long time: staying up all night without a seat is not a good feeling! In order to let myself sleep more soundly, as soon as the train left, I put the big bag under it, and wrote the National Day homework. I wrote until 1:30 in the morning, and there were still three papers short. Exhausted, I finally fell asleep,
1:25 (+1) Even though I'm extremely tired, I'm half asleep when I go to sleep! I recite ancient poems silently, meditate constantly, and listen to hypnotic music, but I still sleep uncomfortably, and my buttocks are so hot! And the moon accompanied me through the most difficult late night outside the car window!
4:30 (+1) I finally fell asleep, that was the most comfortable moment of my night! How peaceful I was in a short hour and a half of deep sleep!
10/1 Arrive at Shijiazhuang North - sleep to Wutai Mountain - try to hike to the top of Dongtai - watch the beautiful sunset
6:16: I finally arrived in Shijiazhuang North, the moon has not yet set
Premium Soft Sleeper
6:30: I was unhappy all morning when I learned that the 7:00 bus tickets were sold out but I could only take the 9:00 bus. After stomping my feet wildly in anger, I had to calm down and accept the reality helplessly!
7:30: The bus station said that early boarding is allowed, so I fell asleep after getting on the bus. It is said that I snored like thunder. I only woke up twice on the way because I was too tired!
9:00: departure
scenery on the road
Waking up selfie in the middle
13:30: Indeed, everything is the best arrangement! Because of the late departure and early boarding allowed, I slept longer. So when I arrived at Mount Wutai at 1:30 in the afternoon, I felt refreshed. Then, I ate some food and took the bus to Guangming Temple (the starting point of the hike)
14:00: (altitude 1700) I started hiking from Guangming Temple. At this time, I finally realized that my trip really started! Looking at the majestic Dongtaiding, I am full of confidence and even more eager to go up!
14:20-15:50: The altitude is getting higher and higher, and the houses in Taihuai Town are getting smaller and smaller. This is the first part of the journey, and the difficulties have not yet come...
16:00-16:30: During this journey, I saw the top of Dongtai Peak. However, there were a lot of holes on the road. I was ignorant at the time and thought they were snake holes. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat while walking!
16:40-17:30: At this time, difficulties really come! The road is getting steeper, the altitude is getting higher and higher, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the side mountains feel smaller and smaller! At that time, my feet were frozen! Because my legs are cold, as long as I take big steps, my legs "do work" like an internal combustion engine! The cramping pain made me miserable! Especially the last five minutes, it feels far more than fifty minutes! I have accumulated more than 20 cramps in total! But I persisted...
17:30: I finally arrived at Dongtai Wanghai Peak. When I reached the top of the mountain, I felt that this beautiful scenery was obtained after experiencing infinite pain! So, without tempering, there is really no success!
There is actually a small amount of snow on the top of the mountain, a good harvest!
17:40: Enter the temple to place an order (refers to staying in a hostel)
18:20: Watch the sunset, the scenery is really shocking! Looking at the top of Beitai opposite, I am looking forward to tomorrow's itinerary - walking on Beitai
19:00: Eat vegetarian food, it tastes amazing!
20:00 Watching the starry sky, saw a lot of pulsars, and even saw a supernova erupting and then losing its brilliance, it was so spectacular!
Today's machinery summary:
1) To sleep, you don’t need to close your eyes and fall asleep deliberately, as long as you fall asleep naturally and slowly!
2) Today, we hiked from Guangming Temple to the top of Dongtai, a total of 15 kilometers. Since we hiked in the afternoon, the wind was getting stronger and stronger. After reaching the top of the mountain, our hands and feet were all frozen, so it is extremely important to keep warm.
Philosophical summary:
1) No matter how hard the night is, it seems endless, but it is actually endless!
2) The last road is often the most difficult, but as long as you persevere, the scenery is the most beautiful!
10/2 East Terrace Starry Sky Sunrise_North Terrace Top_Bath Bath Temple
I got up at 5:00, watched the starry sky before sunrise, and saw a bright neutron star. I just wanted to ask, is this a pulsar or a magnetar?
before sunrise
6:10 The sunrise begins and the scenery is so beautiful! The previous four times of mountaineering to watch the sunrise were unsuccessful, but this time it finally succeeded! I am so excited!
6:30 Have a vegetarian meal. This is the best hotel breakfast I have ever eaten after the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel. It tastes great! There are fried steamed buns, fresh pickles, sweet moon cakes, wild vegetable soup...
This is a buffet breakfast, so in order to save money for lunch, I ate a lot, and I was so stuffed!
6:50 Looking at today's goal, the top of Beitai, there is a lot of snow on the top of the mountain! Then, I went back to the hostel and slept for a while.
8:10-8:40 Start hiking to the top of the North Terrace. It was all downhill at the beginning. It was so cool, and I flew down Hongmenyan in half an hour.
However, in Hongmenyan, I met a monk who swindled money. Fortunately, I was vigilant and I was not deceived. It is estimated that he is a fake monk, and Wutai Mountain is too embarrassing!
8:40-9:40 At the beginning of the uphill, the slope is very gentle. And I walk faster than anyone else! I got so carried away, I made a jerk move to the people behind me!
9:40-10:40 This section of the road is ups and downs, first passed through a small valley, and then walked a pile of rock crevices, bumping all the way, cool!
Looking at the cigarettes rising from Taihuai Town at the foot of the mountain, it was like a blessing from the gods to me! This shows that there are a lot of people in the temple, and it seems that the power of the number of people is great!
10:40-11:40 Head to the top of the North Terrace. Almost all the way is 60-degree uphill and unstable gravel; the last section of the road is not like yesterday, not because of tiredness, but because of fear!
Because, look at that picture...
11:40 Arriving at the top of the North Terrace, I stepped on the snow, looked back, and saw the thousand mountains at a glance. The scenery is spectacular! This is the roof of North China - Ye Doufeng of Mount Wutai!
11:50-12:10 Visit Lingying Temple, see the pagodas, temple walls, pavilions, and even the iron bell, the snow on it was blown crooked by the storm of the previous two days! Like a white blade, extremely sharp! This scenery is so spectacular!
12:20-13:30 I basked in the sun and slept for more than an hour on the top of the mountain, which was a rare relaxation for me. Because, that was the only time I was on the top of Wugong Mountain without wind! Every time there is a strong wind on the top of the mountain, I dare not lie down!
15:00-16:30 Walking from the top of the North Terrace to the Bathing Pool Temple, I am already quite tired. Although it is all downhill, the walk is not easy!
16:30 Hanging Single Bath Bath Temple
Today's machinery summary:
1) There is no need to walk too fast when hiking. If there is a rest, it is better to walk slowly without rest, because the time is about the same
2) When taking a nap on the top of the mountain, you must pay attention to keeping warm. It is best to bring some sleeping bags, otherwise it will not be fun if you are cold!
Philosophical summary:
1) When things accumulate less, they become more, this is the superposition effect! For example: the mass of each atom cannot be underestimated, they add up to form a terrifying neutron star!
2) Being at the top is the happiest feeling, and the most dangerous situation at the same time - beware of being carried away by excessive joy!
10/3 Bathing Pool Temple_Zhongtaiding_Taihuai Town_Nanshan Temple_Bus Station-Taiyuan
6:15 Watching the sunrise for the second time, I thought that today’s sunrise would be blocked by the top of Dongtai, but it was not, the sun rose from the mountain on the left, the scenery is beautiful! Unlike yesterday's sunrise, yesterday was standing at the "highest point" for sunrise, and today is standing "halfway up" to watch the sunrise between higher mountains!
6:20 eat vegetarian meal
7:00-9:00 I started hiking from the bathing pool. I thought it was very far away and it would be difficult to go up. I didn’t expect that today’s rare companionship made me reach the top of Zhongtai very quickly. In the previous two days, I was walking alone, although it was fast, but it was not far; but today, although it was slow to walk together, it was far!
I realized: Walking alone is fast and everyone is traveling far
9:00-9:30 Watch the scenery of Zhongtaiding. The scenery there is different from the charming Dongtaiding at dawn and evening and the northern one with a view of thousands of mountains. It is beautiful and majestic. Although the altitude is not the highest, the scenery in the distance is picturesque The mountains, the scenery is really beautiful!
Then I took pictures with the two handsome guys. They were good roommates yesterday, and I went for a hike today! We parted like this, and I feel a little bit sad!
9:29 Slipped off a piece of ice, cool! It is the last souvenir on the top of the stage! But remind everyone: pay attention to safety!
9:30-11:30 Flying down the mountain, all the way downhill, so cool! ?? However, I encountered a difficulty in the middle, that is a long thorny bush road. That is hard to go! Moreover, the slope is super steep, and I worry about every step. Once I fall, the thorns will pierce, and the consequences will be disastrous...
10:30 After a difficult journey, I came to the forest like a fairy tale world. The scenery here is so beautiful! I think of Bandari's "Endless Horizon", which is so artistic, the pine needles under the feet are piled up into a carpet, and the mountain breeze is cool-this is autumn! Looking at the scenery, I don't want to go!
10:50 Looking at the top of Dongzhongbeitai that I walked through two days ago, I feel that I have experienced a lot. This time I really have a fate with Wutai Mountain: First, I failed to come here three times before, but this time I succeeded; secondly. , In order to come here, I am willing to stand here all night on 9/30, to show that this fate is so precious!
11:10 In the middle, I communicated with two Americans. The communication was very smooth, and I felt like people from the same country. I found that I really didn't learn English for nothing! Ha ha!
Arrived at Taihuai Town at 11:30, I finally finished my trip to Taiwan, and I finished all the mountain roads in the first three days!
11:30-12:00 Take a rest at the bus station
12:00-12:30 Take the bus to Yunfeng Hotel, then walk to Nanshan Temple
12:30-14:30 Visit Nanshan Temple. Although I only visited one temple in Taihuai Town, I visited it very carefully! Among them, when worshiping Buddha, I saw a crystal Buddha statue, which is so spectacular! There is also a white marble door plate
——Nanshan Temple, which is resplendently carved, is not as crowded as Eleven. It is very quiet here, and I once again saw the top of the Northeast Zhongtai that I walked through in the past three days and two nights. a sense of pride...
The special architectural structure of Nanshan Temple - it is built on the mountain, and there is a height difference between the buildings. Even the entrance of the temple has a height difference of more than ten floors from the road.
14:50-15:10 Walk from Nanshan Temple to Wutaishan Bus Station
15:10 Shopping near the bus station, bought a mushroom sauce
15:40-20:00 I left Mount Wutai and went to Taiyuan! Goodbye, Mount Wutai!
16:00-17:00 Watch the beautiful scenery of Xinzhou, it is so spectacular! The rock with grass has a different kind of scenery! This is the scenery of Shanxi! (I forgot to take the photo...)
20:00-20:30 Arrive in Taiyuan, then take the bus to the youth hostel
Recommended hotel: Taiyuan Huaxia Zijin Space Capsule Youth Hostel
Today's machinery summary:
1) Most of the hikes today were downhill, and I made a mistake: I ran downhill, why was it wrong? Quietly tell everyone that after returning to Shanghai, I got Achilles tendinitis! ! So, don't run downhill! ! Please do not! ! !
2) Today I spent ¥20 unjustly, because I didn’t go directly to Taihuai Town on foot, but first went to Bodhisattva Peak, and then went down from Bodhisattva Peak to Taihuai Town. Don't spend any! ! This distance is very short, and I would rather walk without spending any money; the latter ¥10 was forced to spend because of the traffic jam and outage of the bus, but the latter ¥10 is relatively worthwhile!
Philosophical summary:
1) Go alone fast, travel far together
2) When going down from the highest point, there will be a sense of loss, because you are going to leave the highest point, but this has to be accepted-in life, you must accept regression and loss!
10/4 Taiyuan City Center-Jinci Museum-Shanxi Geological Museum-Shuangta Temple Appearance-Taiyuan Station-Shanghai
8:20-9:30 Take the bus and depart for Jinci Museum
9:30 Breakfast: Shanxi sliced noodles, the taste is much better than I imagined! fragrant! !
9:40 Entering Jinci Park (non-fee-paying area), it feels similar to an ordinary park, with only a few ancient buildings, and I am a little disappointed.
9:50 Enter the Jinci Museum, first see the gate of Jinci, and then see the Jinci Chrysanthemum Exhibition, these are too eye-catching. Look at the rolled petals, like the five flavors of life, different situations have different feelings!
10:10 "Sanjin Famous Spring" water mirror platform, Jinci really has a great connection with "spring", it's amazing!
10:15 Huixian Bridge and Jinrentai
10:30 Saw Duiyuefang and Xiandian. I was very impressed with the dedication hall, it has the dual function of offering to the Virgin and enjoying the cool, shocking!
10:40 I saw the strange fish marsh flying bridge, which is the only cross-shaped bridge in ancient China. There is no such bridge in Beijing, Xi'an, or Suzhou, but Taiyuan! I really admire the wisdom of Jin people!
11:00 Watch the core scenic spot of Jinci Museum - Notre Dame Hall. There are 43 clay sculptures of the Song Dynasty enshrined in this hall. The clay sculptures carved with maids with various expressions are not only exquisite in craftsmanship, but also reflect the social background that women were not free at that time. It is both admirable and sympathetic!
11:20 Arrive at Nanlao Spring and Nanlao Spring Pavilion, which is one of the largest springs in Jinci Temple. Seeing the splashing sound of water spray, I can’t help but feel deeply moved—the spirituality of the water lies in the spring!
11:40 Jellyfish House
11:45 Looking at Zhou Baiqi's year with towering ancient trees, it's really shocking! why? Because, when I looked up at the old tree, I raised my head gradually, and finally saw the top of the tree.
One can imagine how tall that tree must be! !
12:00 The moment that moved me to tears the most came, that is the three-to-seven diversion, looking at the water, there is nothing to be moved. However, this water is really hard to come by:
"At that time, land grabbing was serious, so government officials used the method of "reaching into the oil pan to get copper coins" to determine the ownership of the water! When people dared not, a brave young man put his hand into the oil pot. Seven copper coins were fished out of the pot."
This thirty-seven diversion was born! I was shocked and moved to tears! He is so good??! It is indeed difficult for us to do this, but we can learn from his brave spirit!
12:20-12:40 Take a break and feel the charm of Jinci Temple!
13:00-13:30 I walked a long way, and I was so mad?!
13:30-14:40 Bus from Jinci Temple to Shanxi Geological Museum
14:50-17:00 Visit the Geological Museum of Shanxi Province. In addition to the beautiful ore exhibition, I also learned about the uses of various coals in Shanxi, especially the gasification of coal, which is amazing. I used all the knowledge of physics and chemistry I had learned. There are also electrolytic aluminum, refined ore...
beautiful ore
glowing ore
coal for gasification
coal for liquefaction
Coking coal
Aluminum smelting process flow chart
super big sand table
and human intelligence
17:00-17:50 Shanxi Provincial Geological Museum - Twin Towers
17:50-18:10 Watch the sunset at Shuangta Temple
18:10-18:30 Shuangta Temple - Railway Station
19:30 Ticket check, completed all homework after getting on the bus
20:00-9:53(+1) Taiyuan Station—Shanghai Station
Today's machinery summary:
1) If you want to go to Jinci Museum by bus, you must reserve enough time, otherwise don’t complain about the long distance and many stops
2) Shanxi Provincial Geological Museum and Shanxi Provincial Museum are very good, and both are free; these two museums vary from person to person!
3) If you go to Shuangta Temple, it is best not to take a car, because the traffic jam near Shuangta Temple (Yongzuo Temple) is super serious!
4) You must try the Shanxi sliced noodles in Taiyuan
Philosophical summary:
1) The brave at the critical moment must be a hero!
2) A wise man is one who uses material properties flexibly
