In the morning, I had a breakfast with local characteristics in the hotel, including mutton offal soup, mutton offal noodles, mutton offal powder, and black millet porridge ..... all of which were very delicious. After eating, set off for the Erlang Mountain Scenic Area in Shenmu.
Erlang Mountain is a national 4A-level scenic spot, because there are two bulges in the middle of the mountain, which are like camel peaks, also known as "Hump Mountain". According to legend, during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao, a Ming Wuzong, passed by Shenmu on patrol. Seeing this mountain shape, he was named Bijia Mountain. Its altitude is 182 meters, and it is known as "Little Huashan Mountain in Northern Shaanxi".
It's a bit cloudy, and rain is forecast. It will be very comfortable to climb mountains in this weather. On the way to Erlang Mountain, without crossing the Tuwei River, you can see the temple above the mountain peak from a distance. Looking down at Erlang Mountain, it feels very ordinary.
I don't know whether it's the weather or the epidemic. There are not many tourists. After we scanned the code and entered the scenic spot, we were confronted with dozens of steep steps, and the climbers were panting, which was a bit like giving the tourists a scare.
Walking up the steps, I saw a memorial archway at the end of the steps, which read "The height of the Yang is the highest", as if to cheer people up.
Climb to the archway and look back into the distance. The Kuye River and Tuwei River meet and split a mountain in half. There are dense houses and tall buildings on both sides of the river, where generations of Shenmu people live.
It is said that there are more than 1 temples, temples, pavilions and pavilions on Erlang Mountain, where Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism are integrated, and various religious landscapes are integrated. We walked up the stone steps and passed some religious caves, such as the Dizang Cave, the Eight Immortals Cave and the Temple of Notre Dame, but only one Haoranting Cave was impressive. This cave is not large, and the walls are chiseled with poems and tablets to express anti-Japanese patriotism. The pavilion is inscribed by He Zhuguo, a famous anti-Japanese, and the four characters "Heaven and earth are upright" make people feel awe-inspiring.
I was also impressed by a calligraphy work, stone carving, written by Qinyuanchun? Snow ",but also for Erlang Mountain inscription" KuangGu magic ".
the charm of Erlang mountain lies in its danger, preciseness and strangeness. Danger, the sides of the mountain are as straight and steep as if they had been chopped by an axe; Jun, step by step for a change of scenery, climb high and surprise constantly; Risk, the highest and narrowest place on the top of the mountain is less than one meter, and two people can pass side by side at most.
The charm of Erlang Mountain also lies in the colorful flowers growing in the harsh environment near the cliff. No matter how high the mountain is, there are always trees to follow. No matter how ugly the grass is, there are always flowers.
A group of friends who went up the mountain got separated. When you and your mother walked to the top of the mountain, it happened to rain. There are no tourists or staff around, and there are steps leading to the distance ahead. I don't know whether to go down the mountain road or the scenic spot that I haven't visited, and I don't know whether to go on or go back the same way.
"The top of the mountain is dangerous, please don't stay in rainy days". Seeing the warning sign and the lightning rod erected high, you and your mother quickly went back the same way. Safety is still the most important thing.
I didn't know until I reached the foot of the mountain that the steps leading to the distance were to Erlang Temple. According to the inscription of Erlang Mountain Temple, in the Ming Dynasty, because the production conditions were still very backward, it was impossible to control the wild river by the masses, so I hoped to use the power of God to control it. So I built a temple on the mountain to commemorate Zhao Yu and Zhao Erlang, the god of water control, as the main temple on the mountain, called Erlang Temple, and this mountain was named Erlang Mountain.
Although the trip to Erlang Mountain didn't reach Erlang Temple, everything is perfect with minor shortcomings. We have already appreciated the charm of Erlang Mountain, glad you came.
At noon, I ate the local special dish "braised dishes" in a stew restaurant called "Weiduomei".
The braised dishes here are still different from those in Henan. They are stewed with sauerkraut and meat. They are served on plates without soup. Because the stew takes a long time, the taste of sauerkraut and meat is perfectly combined, and it is delicious without oil or greasy.
There will be all kinds of dishes, vermicelli and meat in braised dishes in Henan. After cooking, there will be dishes in soup pots or bowls, and the dishes will be eaten while drinking soup, which is especially suitable for winter.
In addition to the delicious braised dishes, my mother also likes the wall sticker in this store, which says, "This store should come often, drinking wine, making heart, stewing meat and eating affection", and there is also a plaque that reads, "Welcome guests in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and entertain people in the southeast, northwest and China".
because of these seemingly insignificant publicity, a small shop has become very meaningful and warm. People who walk in the door are immediately wrapped in warmth, just like sauerkraut and meat in braised dishes. You have me and I have you, and they are perfectly integrated to make you and me ...
How delicious the taste is, how beautiful the people are and how beautiful the heart is!
