Walking at sunrise and resting at sunset, I found my ideal life in the mountains of Yuexi

An epidemic has disrupted everyone's life rhythm. We can't get together with relatives and friends, we can't travel, we can't have wine and chat, we can only stay at home, wear masks, and connect via WeChat. There is always a topic like this on the Internet: "What do you want to do most after the epidemic?" My answer is "Go to nature to feel the sunshine and breeze, gather with friends to feel the warmth and happiness..."

< p> Now, I have been depressed for a long time during the epidemic, and finally found an opportunity to breathe. In a certain red book, I read about a cultural tourism base about a hundred kilometers away from Hefei, called Yuexi Daxieling. You can go camping, barbecue, and sing outdoors. You can also dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest and pick tea in the tea garden. It can be said that it is A paradise.

Action is worse than a heartbeat. The two-day and one-night self-driving trip plan led by me was quickly finalized. With two colleagues and their families, our three small families chose a sunny spring weekend to drive to Yuexi~ Climbing mountains, barbecuing, drinking, and chatting, we spent two days and one night that were the happiest and most full of human fireworks after the epidemic.

Prepare your hat, sunglasses, and vest, and take a selfie first. After all, this is a rare moment to let off steam.

We gathered at the entrance of Xinglin Community at 9 o'clock in the morning, and then drove towards G105. The scenery along the way was really beautiful and refreshing, and my mood suddenly became brighter. As expected of the Dabie Mountains, the winding mountain road is like an armband wrapped around the mountain forest. Driving up it, you can see the mountains up close and the lake far away. Under the guidance of the navigation system, we arrived at the entrance of Daxieling Cultural Tourism Zone and met Daxiejiang, the staff member who had made an appointment. With help, we parked the vehicle and spent the next two days and one night in this small ravine. Spent in the mountain village.

It is April in spring, and the mountains and plains of Daxieling are full of wild azaleas. In the past, all I saw in the community were pink flowers. Only when I came here did I know that there are also azaleas. Yellow, white, and purple are different from the gorgeous peach and azalea, and they look particularly elegant. I couldn't help but save a bunch of beautiful photos in my phone and keep them for the invoice circle.

After putting away our luggage, we carried our small bags and set off towards the code-named "502" National Defense Education Base. I heard from Daxiejiang that this is the 502 Grottoes, the site of the old third-line arsenal.

Many people are familiar with the mention of "third-line" construction. From the 1960s to the 1980s, due to national strategic needs, a major campaign with war preparedness as the guiding ideology was carried out in the central and western regions of our country. The construction of large-scale national defense, science and technology, industry and transportation infrastructure is historically known as "third-line construction". Its construction principle is "backing, dispersion and concealment". Therefore, the workers and technicians required by military industrial enterprises and a large number of third-line construction need to move thousands of miles from coastal and border areas to the depths of the mountains, making a huge contribution to our country's national defense and military industry. contribution.

I didn’t expect that there is such a treasure hidden in this mountain ravine. 502 is located on a mountain in Daxieling. The mountain road has been paved with cement. It’s a bit hot to climb up, but it’s easy. There is such a building, covering an area of ??3,000 square meters, with more than 40 rooms of complete categories. The cave walls can withstand earthquakes of magnitude 9. It has a deep connection with the founding general, General Xu Shiyou, who personally selected the site. In 1965 The project was initiated and constructed, and it was completed and put into operation in 1971. It was code-named 502 and was affiliated to the National Defense Industry Office.

Under the guidance of the guide, several of us went into the cave to visit 502, and deeply felt the red heritage of Yuexi. It is really good for people of our age, and we can also learn a lot of new knowledge. . I heard that there is a summer camp during the summer vacation. The teaching is based on the content of 502 holes, and the children are led to learn the knowledge of national defense and civil defense. Spending 5 days and 4 nights in the mountains is quite refreshing!

After visiting 502, we set off to Meiling Campground. The campground is located in the Daxieling Cultural Tourism Area, located on another mountain top of Meiling, with an altitude of more than 900 meters. We don’t have much luggage. Instead of driving up, the husbands showed off their skills and took care of all the heavy work and walked up to Meiling. The road to Shangmeiling Campground is not that easy. The first section is still a cement road, and the second half is really a jungle adventure, taking a mountain and forest road. Climb all the way up from the foot of the mountain along a not-so-rugged trail. The mountains and fields in spring are already covered with verdant green, but the beauty of the trees and rocks is still there. The key is that we are like birds flying in a cage, with an oasis in our hearts. We talk and laugh all the way, and soon we board the campsite...

When we are at the top of the mountain, we can see all the mountains and small mountains. The poems of the ancients can always express our feelings easily. The view in front of the campsite is very broad, facing the mountains, and you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding water and mountains for miles. It is the best place to have a bird's eye view of the beautiful scenery. The mountains photographed here look like photoshopped pictures on the Internet...you must take pictures!

After going up the mountain, dust off and rest for a while, it’s time to have fun in the evening. We have reserved the barbecue ingredients in advance, and Daxie Sauce has already lit the charcoal fire. For safety reasons, we have gathered around A circle of masonry.

There are more barbecues to eat than expected, barbecues, mushrooms, bamboo tube rice, salads... They are delicious. Maybe it has been too long since I have been so cool in the wild, so I can't help but eat more. The camp is equipped with shower rooms and toilets. After we had enough wine and food, the KTV had to be exciting. We drank red wine, white wine, and beer around the campfire, and sang the songs in our memories together. There were few people around, and the songs echoed in the mountains. I felt that my soul was much more relaxed. It was a joyful time of delicious food, fine wine, and a get-together...

Early the next morning, I don’t know if it was the freshness of the mountains that woke me up or something else, but I, who usually stay in bed, naturally woke up. After leaving the tent to wash up, I found that my colleague had gotten up early and used his camera to capture beautiful images of the mountain sunrise.

After breakfast, we experienced the excitement of off-roading in the mountains and forests. This is a signature project. It is a must-play. Experienced drivers with a driver's license can drive themselves. The whole journey is 10KM. The terrain vehicle has a low chassis and can feel the mountain road. The bumpy feeling is indeed more exciting and refreshing.

I have decided to come again next time and take our children to the mountains and wild places to have some fun. If we don’t have time, we can also come to summer camp. Courage is also a skill.

Finally, the biggest feeling this trip brought me is that after the epidemic, the sincere friendship allowed us to get together as soon as possible and enjoy the warmth and happiness it brought to each other; after the epidemic, we will use Look at everything around you with a bright and bright attitude, face all people and things with a friendly and kind smile, use your smile to exchange for peace and quiet in the years, and use a sunny attitude to welcome the arrival of every rising sun...
