When we arrived at Yuntai Mountain on the sea, it was past noon. We chose to climb the mountain by car from Wanshou Valley, a deep mountain canyon about 2 kilometers long. It is named after Wanshou Mountain in the south of the canyon. The valley is lush with vegetation and fresh air, which is very primitive. Along the way, you will see many shouzi stone carvings, green hills, valleys, strange stones, Woods, stone bridges and pools. I can only take a quick look in the car, and at first I thought about strolling down the mountain.
Yuntai Mountain is only 605 meters above sea level, but the Panshan Highway is steep and tortuous. The mountain road has turned more than 18 bends, and there is a walking wooden plank road on one side of the roadway. The car drove out of the Wanshou Valley Scenic Area, and the mountain became more and more open. The car went all the way around the mountain to the top of the mountain. In early winter, the sky is especially clear and open, and one side of the mountain is empty, without the shelter of branches. Looking up, I feel that the car is going to the sky and the car is rising around the mountain. Every time I turn around, I feel that I am approaching Tianmen, and the fresh air is accompanied by cold air. In this way, I happily arrived at Genting scenic spot all the way. On the gloomy seamount, Su Shi's poems are engraved at the entrance of the scenic spot.
When you enter the scenic spot, you will see an old tree with its head held high. The tree is covered with old vines, and the trunk is covered with wrinkles and vicissitudes. The leaves that have not fallen at the top show the fresh life of the old tree. In almost every scenic spot, the old tree will be regarded as a magical wishing tree, and here is no exception. The tree is tied with a red prayer belt.
Walking along the tourist signs, from the cement road to the slate road and then to the wooden plank road, the road and sky in early winter are exceptionally pure, and you will encounter many straw houses and stone benches along the way. Although the thatched cottage looks a little crude, it gives people a primitive and simple feeling, as if walking into a fairy tale village by the sea.
At first glance, from a distance, it looks like a big stone being split by an axe. Tall people should enter sideways or with their heads down. Although it is only a narrow gap, there is a hole in it. Through a narrow gap, like a semi-closed large open-air cave. The sky suddenly opened up, and the sea breeze blew head-on, let alone how cool it was. The moment I turned around through the cracks in the stone, I saw the stone carving on the back of the rock, which said, "The waves turn over the clouds to find the sea, and the blue sky Wan Li is good for sailing." This scene is the most suitable.
After a glimpse of the sky, it is facing the Sakura Peak at an altitude of 5 18 meters. Facing the sea, the view is wide. It is an excellent place to climb mountains and watch the sunrise. Standing here, you can welcome the first ray of sunshine in the morning. Standing on the top of the mountain, facing the east, the city, port and dock can be seen in a glance. Just because of the season and weather, the sea is foggy, the skyline is not very clear, the containers on the dock are arranged neatly, the islands in the sea are looming, the island peaks float on the foggy sea, and the sails face the sky. If you are lucky, you will see the strange landscape of a mirage.
Sakura Peak not only looks at the sea and harbor, but also leans to the northwest. From a distance, you can see that Yuntai Condor is entrenched at one end of the suspended plank road. The peak that vultures are proud of is the essence of Yuntai Mountain scenic spot we are going to-Yunfeng.
Yuntai Mountain scenic spot on the sea is relatively small, with an area of 40.78 square kilometers and relatively concentrated scenic spots. Stone road and wooden plank road connect all the scenic spots, and the hanging observation deck with wooden fence is a panoramic view of the sea and the sky. The sea-sky viewing platform is built on the top of the cliff, facing the sea and facing the mountain, which is spectacular in the sky. It is connected with the hanging plank road, suspension bridge and covered bridge strolling in the clouds, and goes straight to Mount Ermaste. The observation deck is suspended along the mountain and feels closer to the sea. There is a telescope coin on the observation deck, which gives you a panoramic view of Haizhou Bay, Hong Kong Island City and the wonders of mountains and seas, making people feel relaxed and forget to return.
Looking forward from the sea and the sky, I met a clear spring before I set foot on the overpass. This is an ordinary spring. Although the spring water is small, it is crystal clear. This was ordered by General Wan Yi when he commanded the defense of Lianyungang during his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. I think it was mainly to solve the water problem of the troops at that time. The location of General Spring is excellent. Take a step forward, surf in the air, then turn around and see the big sea and the sky. The battle of Lianyungang dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army, and Jiangjun Spring was also called Wanquan (full of water) by local people.
The bridge leading to Yunfeng is a walking bridge in the clouds. It's a pity that it was already afternoon when we came. Although the sea is still foggy, the clouds in the valley have dispersed, and people can no longer experience the feeling of swimming in the clouds. Then leave a picture on the bridge, with the condor guarding behind, Ganoderma lucidum offering flowers in front and a little fairy in front.
At one end of Genting Pedestrian Bridge is Yuntai Condor, which swims across the Strait and confronts Liandao. The mountains here are majestic, and the sea waves and mountains complement each other. This vulture looks a bit like a caveman from another angle.
From a distance, vultures seem small. Take a closer look and find it is a giant eagle. Several people are very tall. Let's take a picture under the vulture rock. This is the condor that once guarded Ganoderma lucidum, so I am safe and sound!
The Iron Blood Peak opposite the Condor of the Sea of Clouds is the former site of Lianyungang Defence War. 1938, General Wan Yi led the 667th regiment to wage a fierce battle with the Japanese aggressors here, which prevented the Japanese aggressors from invading Lianyungang from the sea and kept the enemy at sea. In 289 days, the Japanese army never crossed the line, which played a huge role in the battle of Xuzhou. Since then, it has been "not afraid of 10 thousand, but afraid of one thousand (easy) the former general spring was dug at that time, and now the spring water is still clear and inexhaustible." So Yuntai Mountain on the sea is not only a fairy mountain, but also a Hero Mountain. The battlefield that used to be bombarded with gunfire has now become a beautiful scenic spot. We can't forget that this magnificent mountain and river is the result of many people's bloody protection! Caressing is more like thinking about the past now, you can't be happy!
After worshipping the Condor, the wind at Genting seems to be stronger. The wind blowing from the sea is a little cold, but it can't stop the tourists' interest. Pedestrians kept stepping on the wooden plank road, and there was an empty sound under their feet until they reached the island viewing platform. The deeper the observation deck, the closer it feels to the sea.
The unique observation platform with two masts and two peaks, towering buildings, misty sea, ships ready to go, neatly arranged containers, looming islands and criss-crossing roads give you a panoramic view of the five views of "mountain, sea, port, island and city".
Wooden plank roads and stone roads surround Yunfeng. We walk counterclockwise from the wooden plank road, from the island observation deck to the city observation deck. This is the stone road on the right side of the city observation deck. If we go down from here, we will bypass Yunfeng and return to Shenyingyan. My fellow friends were waiting for me at the island observation deck, so I looked around the city observation deck and then went back to the island observation deck. I passed the mast tip on the platform of Mast Peak, where I fought against the Japanese invaders. It is made of stone slabs. It looks like an artillery bunker, and there are no photos.
The name of the fairy mountain on the sea in Yuntai Mountain is not empty. This is the closest place to the sky. I dare not cheer and jump, as if I could reach the sky with one hand and fly to the sky with one foot. I suddenly remembered Su Shi's poem "I want to go home by the wind, but I'm afraid it's too high to get cold ..." After reciting the poem for decades, I felt such a subtle feeling for the first time on this fairy mountain!
Reaching the top of the mast, Yuntai Mountain is surrounded by the sea, just like a huge ship breaking the waves at sea. Towering peaks are like towering masts that go straight into the blue sky, hence the name "masttip". * * * There are three peaks, which are called the big mast tip, the second mast tip and the third mast tip. We came to the top of the second mast. Poetry on the Flagpole was inscribed by Tang Kunji in Qing Dynasty. "The fairy ship entered the ancient Yuntai and reached the top of the sea." The one in the back is not easy to recognize. Take a picture and identify it carefully.
Climb the fairy mountain and sit on the platform. Shh! Here, "I dare not speak loudly for fear of scaring people."
Yuntai on the sea is not only a fairy mountain, but also a Buddhist country. In the middle of Yuntai Mountain, there is a magnificent temple-Faqi Temple. Faqi Temple, known as one of the "Four Famous Spirits on the Sea" since ancient times, is backed by green hills and faces the sea. It is a strong evidence that "the Buddha came from the sea, and the instrument was the first temple", which witnessed the introduction of Buddhism on the Maritime Silk Road. Looking at the road below the mountain, a row of red temples hung obliquely from the mountain and came to the front, still shocked by its majesty! I quietly untied my colorful silk scarf before entering the temple.
There are too many stories and scenery about Yuntai Mountain. Because of the time, we went down the mountain when we came out of Faqi Temple. Wudao Temple and Tao Yuanming Cultural Park didn't go. On the way up the mountain, we saw Tao Yuanming Cultural Park at the corner of the mountain road. The big arch stands high on the highway, with a valley behind it. The looming clouds rose from the bottom of the valley and swam around gently. The pillars of the arch go straight into the blue sky. At that time, the sun was not very dazzling. The archway is shrouded in a halo, and a glance at the corner really makes me feel in a fairyland. Unfortunately, I missed the paradise described by nuns and Tao Yuanming who practiced in Wudao Temple.
As the saying goes, the mountain is not high, but there are immortals, like Yuntai Mountain on the sea, which has been a legendary fairyland since ancient times. Judging from the fairy tales we have read since childhood, it seems that the origin of all fairy tales starts from the fairyland in the East China Sea. From listening to the old man, Xu Fu led the boys and girls to the East. When I was a child, I read The Journey to the West and The Mirror Flower Edge for countless times with Guo Hua and Yuntai Mountain in the East China Sea as the background. The unique wonders of mountains and seas in ancient times, beautiful natural scenery and rare people, coupled with the ocean and urban buildings that could not be explained scientifically at that time, may really be inhabited here. When most of the scenic spots have become noisy commercial places, it is not easy to find such a place full of fairy tales in Daqin Ancient Island, a corner of the East China Sea! Fairy mountain Buddha country, Yuntai mountain on the sea! (along the way, the eyes can't see the scenery, and that kind of fairy mobile phone can't shoot it. I couldn't help taking some photos, and I didn't want to let unnecessary things disturb my thoughts in wonderland. )
