Beijing Pinggu Shilin Gorge The world's largest "UFO" glass viewing platform
The "eye of the universe" mentioned here is neither the dwarf star discovered by scientists, nor the energy source found in "Purcell" 7, but the glass "UFO" viewing platform built on the main peak of Pinggu Shilinxia Scenic Area. Because the viewing platform is based on a flying saucer, suspended in the air, it looks like an eagle's eye and is majestic, so it is called "the eye of the universe".
A few years later, I came to Shilinxia Scenic Spot in Pinggu District again. I found that the scenic spot was changing and I was changing too. The scenic spot became more beautiful, and my feeling for the mountains and water was also different.
Shilin Gorge Scenic Spot is the core scenic spot of Huangsongyu Geopark, named after the four steep and straight stone forest peaks in the canyon. The area of the scenic area is about 12 square kilometers, and there are more than 50 large and small landscapes. Different seasons have different scenery and experience, spring outing to enjoy the flowers, summer to escape the heat and enjoy the cool, autumn forests are fully dyed, ginkgo paves the road, and the majestic Xiongfeng is covered in silver in winter.
Stone Forest Gorge consists of stones, gorges, water, peaks and forests to form a strange, beautiful, dangerous, quiet and secluded landscape picture. The "UFO" viewing platform is located at the scenic spot of "the first bell in ancient and modern times" at Longwangding, the highest peak. You can take a cable car to the top and then walk for 30 minutes to get there, or you can walk first and then take a cable car. Each has its own difficulties and characteristics. We chose Hike first and then go up to the top by cable car.
Shilinxia Mountain is characterized by stones. Huge rocks and strange rocks of various shapes can be seen everywhere beside the rugged mountain roads. The towering and steep peaks stand upright, and the pieces are like a stone forest. It is magnificent and breathtaking, with strange pines and cypresses. The green and tall make the valley lush in summer. There is a poem praising it: "I knew that the stone forest was born in the southern country, and now I know that reading is shallow."
Mountains and rivers are beautiful, walking along the canyon, the winding path leads to a secluded place, a pool of clear water reflects the gorge, waiting for the beautiful woman to stroll, the quiet and beautiful here resembles the landscape in the south of the Yangtze River. This section is called Cool World, and Cool World is really cool. When you come here in March in Yangchun, the mountains outside the mountains are already full of flowers, and there is still ice and snow under the Yin Mountains. Hiking and climbing is cool and refreshing, which makes people refreshed. It is really a good place to escape the heat in summer.
Water is the spirit of the mountain, and the tree is the soul of the mountain. Water is in the mountain, and the mountain is in the water. The tree is in the mountain, and the tree is in the water. , set off each other and live in harmony. It is only when I come here that I know what tenderness is like water. Looking at the clear stream in front of me, the deep and shallow natural clarity, all the mundane affairs of the outside world have turned into a bay of clear water here, and what remains in my heart is a piece of tranquility and tranquility.
Along the way, the trees are sparse, the birds are singing and the stream is singing, the water is rippling, the mountain is light yellow and the path is deep, and the branches face the sun to form a shadow. Going forward, the strange stones are like barberry or giant rhino lying on the bottom of the valley or lying in the middle of the road. Sitting on them, watching the winding stream and green stream beside the road, listening to the gurgling sound of water, is full of strange interest. The sign on the mountain pass tells us that the "Earth Science Wisdom Valley" has arrived. According to the introduction, the rocks here were formed by marine sediments 1.8 billion years ago, and after hundreds of millions of years of vicissitudes, the wind and forest landforms are today in various poses and with different expressions.
There is another village with hidden willows and bright flowers. The surrounding rocks look like divine masonry, and the dwarf stones in the courtyard look like bonsai. There is no grandeur in the house, and nothing to do in the heart.” Xiaoyin here, listening to the wind and rain, listening to the natural breathing, even if you sit in the well and watch the sky, you can still see the sky through and the world.
As the saying goes, when people look at the sky, they really have gods. Look up at the "eye of the universe", look up at the sky, see the moon and moon, the changing wind and cloud, overlook the earth, the spring flowers and autumn fruits, the rushing stream, the eye of the universe, the watchful eye.
The streams and mountains are slim and deep, the strange rocks are jagged and majestic, the streams are like weaving, the pools and waterfalls splash jade, and the abundant water is pregnant with strange waterfalls. Stunning scenery, very poetic.
The Shilin Gorge Ladder, remember that climbing the ladder is the Jiutian Waterfall, and you can take the cable car to the top. There are more than 200 ladders, halfway through the climb, I was almost out of breath, my mouth was dry and my throat was smoky, so I had to stop and rest, feeling that I was not as good as before. When I came here before, I didn’t have these iron grids and steel frames. The staff told me that this is an elevator repair, and if I come a few days late, I can take the elevator up the mountain. I am taller than the mountain when I climb the ladder, but I know in my heart that there are mountains beyond the mountains...
Finally arrived at the deepest part of the Stone Forest Canyon, the flying waterfall, the deep pool water, and the lonely canyon. This is a unique world - Jiutian Waterfall. The 80-meter-plus Jiutian Waterfall is a four-level waterfall, and the highest level has a drop of more than 40. Meters, the waterfall flew down, the roaring water sounded like a dragon roaring, and the soft white figure was like a fairy, rushing into the Longtan with the might of a dragon.
Now the seven-color pool falls from the sky under the waterfall, and the seven-color pool is like a seven-color painting board, and it also looks like a fairyland on earth. Now you don’t need to go to Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong, or the United States to see the Grand Prism. You can see this “Wonderful Wonderland” when you come to Shilinxia. It’s even more beautiful to check in and take pictures here.
After seeing the Colorful Pond, you can take the cable car to the top. Sitting on the cable car, you can see two stone forests in the east and west. Some are like a lion going out to fight, and some are like a jade girl Tingting, a monkey exploring the moon, a dragon on a jade pillar, and an old elephant coming out of the mountain. It can be said that "explore the canyon to feel the mystery and tranquility, and climb the peak to see thousands of mountains and valleys".
Finally, we can get close to the "UFO" of "the world's first cantilevered glass bridge corridor", which is bigger than the United States and longer than Yunyang. This flying saucer glass viewing platform, which looks like a "UFO", adopts the design method of combining titanium alloy, alloy steel, cable and bulletproof glass commonly used in the aerospace field. The titanium alloy used in large quantities has light specific gravity, high strength and durability Acid and alkali resistance and high and low temperature resistance to ensure safety.
The maximum cantilever length of the viewing platform is 32.8 meters, the platform is 800 meters above sea level, the overall construction area is 713 square meters, the carrying area is 434 square meters, and 1900 people can be carried at a time.
Because I walked through the Glacier Skywalk (Glacier Skywalk) in Jasper, Canada, and stood on the world's first suspended and transparent cliff walk at the time, overlooking the glaciers and the Rocky Mountains...so I didn't pay much attention to this " UFO", went straight to the disc in the middle. When it reached a quarter of the disc, my legs were weak and my heart was beating wildly. I had to hold on to the inner railing and rub it forward, and then I could clearly feel the view The stage was "shaking", so I had to stop to gather myself.
The viewing platform is about 400 meters away from the bottom of the cliff and is 360-degree transparent. There is a flying saucer cabin in the middle of the huge flying disc. There are two aliens in red and blue faces inside, who seem to be ready to fly into the sky at all times.
Standing in a 150-story building, stepping on the clear glass, you can see without hindrance and have nothing to rely on, which is really shocking every step of the way.
Here you can not only test your heart and experience excitement, but also enjoy the magnificent scenery of Panshan Mountain, the blue waves of Jinhai Lake, and the majestic and handsome Shilin Gorge. You can be in it and be in nature.
Looking at this beautiful and largest "eye of the universe", I can't help but hope that if I can watch the sunrise and sunset here, what kind of spectacle it would be, and how wonderful it would be.
Climbing to the top of Shilin Gorge, the "eyes of the universe" overlook the vastness of the world, just as "Lanting Collection Preface" says: look up at the vastness of the universe, and look down at the excellence of categories.
