More than a thousand years ago, Han Yu was demoted to Chaozhou and went to Lantian Languan. The heavy snow blocked his way. He asked heaven and wrote a famous poem that has been passed down through the ages.
It is a pure pleasure to find the source of Bahe River and go sightseeing in the snow in Jianyuling, Qingping Village, Bayuan Town, Lantian. I think this ancient poem is more appropriate.
It was sunny after the snow, so I set off in a hurry before dawn. After two hours' drive, I came to Qingping Village, Bayuan Town, which is the gate of Jianyuling.
The village is a red scenic spot. As soon as you enter the village, a strong red cultural atmosphere comes to your face. Further on, most people have built two or three floors of small foreign buildings, but there are still a few houses that have retained their original appearance, blue brick houses and unique flavor.
After a little trimming, more than 50 people marched up the mountain and the entrance road was narrow. People lined up in a long line, which was spectacular.
Along the mountain road, the snow is getting thicker and whiter. With the elevation, the vegetation has also changed. The foot of the mountain is covered with weeds, then it becomes a low bush, and then it becomes a dense forest, blocking the sun. Many trees have strange shapes. Keep going higher and the towering trees will disappear. At first, there were some sparse bamboos and a few scattered pine trees. Pine trees and bamboo are symbolic vegetation at a certain altitude, especially that pine tree, which I call welcoming pine, just like standing there waiting for people to arrive. After the welcoming pine, there are meadows and some thorny shrubs. The top of the mountain is generally bare.
It can be said that the water is gurgling all the way, sometimes rumbling, and then it is not deafening, but in this silent mountain, the sound of running water can be heard far away. In some places, the water is slow and there is a thin layer of ice on the water. Everything is quiet and time has stopped. Stop at this time, feel the peace in the mountains, pick up a piece of crystal thin ice, take a bite, haha, cool to the bottom of my heart.
One of the main locations on the way is the headwaters of Bahe River. The above picture shows a beautiful woman eating ice skates in this place, which can be regarded as finding the source of Bayuan River and taking a sip of Bayuan water. The current is very small, only as thick as a finger, but it is such a small current that slowly converges into a big river. When I came back, I took a bottle of water from here to make tea, which made some sense.
Stone Temple is a major symbol of Jianyuling, and it is also a place to rest, take photos and eat when climbing. Commonly known as the pass, you can put the heavy luggage you carried all the way here and go into battle lightly, so it will be much easier to reach the top. Do you want to exercise yourself, or do you want to continue? After climbing to the top of the mountain, many people have gathered here, some are busy taking pictures and punching in, some have set up stoves to start cooking, and I also put down my backpack, took out the stove, made a cup of espresso and learned to experience life.
There are such beautiful ice flowers near the top, isn't it beautiful?
There is a launch tower on the top of the mountain, and a wooden sign has been set up. It may also be a refuge left by the people who built the tower at that time. Standing at the highest point of Jianyuling, you can see from a distance and have a wide field of vision. The surrounding Qinling Mountains are undulating, overlooking the blue sky and Baqiao River in Bahe River Basin.
It's not too cold this winter. When going downhill, the snow on the road began to melt and the road became muddy and difficult to walk. I don't know if I haven't climbed the mountain for a long time or if I'm not feeling well today. It took me the same time to go down the mountain. I was tired and uncomfortable. Get on the bus and start returning, and the day's trip is basically over. There are no gorgeous and beautiful words, and there are no ancient people's delicate observations and feelings about nature. Write it down in vulgar language, don't joke.
Finally, talk about this feeling. Mountain climbing is an endurance sport. Just like a marathon, you must allocate your physical strength. Don't care too much about climbing to the top. Do what you can according to your own situation, mainly to experience the process and see the scenery. The stream with a thick stock index can finally converge into a big river, relying on never giving up and being firm, starting from the end and taking advantage of the trend. This should also be the character spirit that should be possessed in doing great things.
