Ugly March, from Ninghai to Ximen. The clouds are getting brighter and brighter, and people are happy. Three miles to Huangliangshan, and then stop.
It rained early on the first day of April. Fifteen miles, the road divides into two roads, and the horse head goes west to the rooftop, and the sky is getting worse. After more than ten miles, I arrived at Songmenling. The mountain was steep and the road was slippery, so I rode and walked. Since Fenghua, although the mountains are heavy, they all follow the foothills; At this point, the detour is close to the ridge. After the rain, the new Ji, the sound of mountains and rivers, and the reflection of azaleas in mountains and rivers are unforgettable.
Fifteen more miles, bamboo temple rice. A monk from Yunfeng on National Day said that it was inconvenient to go to Liang Shi, because the journey was dangerous and the luggage was long. If we don't treat the National Day lightly, let the porter take Yunfeng to the National Assembly Temple and take the main road to Yuhe Lianfang. Walk five miles and cross Jinzhuling.
There are many dwarf pines beside the ridge, with their old stems buckling, green roots and beautiful leaves, and everything in the Nagato Basin. After more than 30 miles, I arrived at Amitabha Temple. Up and down Shan Ye, Shan Ye is deserted, the mountain springs are full of buildings, and travelers are extinct. The road is long, and buddhist nun is in Wanshan 'ao. If appropriate, you can eat and live.
The next day, the rain stopped. The higher you climb the mountain, the more secluded you are in Yue Shi. Twenty miles away, the temple was closed at dusk. In the morning, I slept on the summit of the mountain, thinking that it was near the edge, covered with halberds for several days, and there was no sunny day. And even in my dream, I hear the stars all over the sky, and I can't sleep.
The next day, in the morning, it was sunny and I decided to do it. Walk a few miles to Huading Temple. In the middle of the night, near the top, it is the Taibai Hall, which is nothing impressive. Climb up the road. The grass is decadent, the mountains are high and the wind is strong, the frost on the grass is high, and the reflection of the four mountains is beautiful.
The mountain flowers in Jiao Ling are in full bloom, but they don't vomit on the top covered with cold. Or go down to Huading Temple, cross the bridge by the pool, and cross the Three Tombs. The stream backs the mountain, and the wood and stone are beautiful. Turn around and you will be surprised.
Over a ridge, along an 89-mile-long stream, the waterfall pours down from the stone gate and rotates in a trilogy. The upper layer is a broken bridge, where two stones cross obliquely, and water breaks the stone chamber and flows into the pool. The two stones in the middle face each other like doors, and the water is a bundle of doors, which is very lively.
The mouth of the lower pool is quite wide, and the place where it pours is like a threshold, and the water slopes downward from the depression. The three levels are all tens of feet high, and each level is extremely magical. However, when I went down the stairs, the corner was covered with music and I couldn't see it at once.
It was four times the color before it was returned. I stopped at Xianfu Bridge and watched Liang Shi lying in the rainbow, and the waterfall sprayed with snow, and I almost didn't want to lie down.

Translation:
On the day at the end of March in Guichou, I went out of the city from Ximen, Ninghai County. The sky is cloudy and sunny, and the mood and scenery of the mountain people are happy. After walking 30 miles, I arrived in Huang Liang, so I stayed here.
On the first day of April, it rained all morning. Fifteen miles ahead, there is a fork in the road, and the horse is heading west towards Tiantai Mountain, and the sky is gradually turning. After more than ten miles, I reached the foot of Songmenling.
The mountain was steep and the road was slippery. I gave up riding and walked on. The road from Fenghua, although passing through several mountains, is all along the foothills; After arriving here, no matter how circuitous and tortuous, whether it is near the water or climbing the mountain, it is all above the big ridge.
It's sunny after the rain, tinkling flowing springs and beautiful mountain scenery can be seen everywhere, and new landscapes have been changed repeatedly. The azaleas blooming among the green trees are flickering, which makes people forget the hard work of climbing mountains and trekking.
He walked another 15 mile and ate in Zhu Jin Temple. Monk Yunfeng of the National Assembly Temple happened to have dinner with him. He said that it is a long way from this road to Liang Shi, and it is steep and steep, so it is not convenient to carry luggage. It is better to go light and let the porter take the heavy luggage to Xiaocang Temple and wait first.
I agree with his suggestion that the porter should take Yunfeng to Xiaoguo Temple first, and I will start from Liang Shi Road with the Lotus Boat Master. I walked five miles and crossed Jinzhuling.
There are many short and thick pine trees near the mountains. The old trunk is winding, the pine roots are green, and the leaves are green, all like pine trees planted in our common people's bonsai. It took more than 30 miles to reach Mituo Temple. Along the way up and down the mountain, Shan Ye is desolate and silent.
Spring is roaring, the mountain wind is blowing violently, and there are no tourists on the mountain road. Amitabha Buddha is located in the lowlands among the mountains, and the mountain road is remote and long. Amitabha is right in the middle of the mountain road. You can eat it or live in the temple.
The next day, after dinner, the rain stopped. So I crossed the water on the road and climbed up the mountain. The streams and rocks became quieter and quieter. After walking twenty miles, I arrived at Tianfeng Temple in the evening.
When I sleep, I want to go to the summit tomorrow morning. If the rain stops, it will be fate to reach the top. But in recent days, it turned sunny in the evening after the rain, and no morning was sunny. When I was in my dream, I heard that the sky was full of shining stars, and I was so happy that I couldn't sleep anymore.
The next morning, when I got up, I saw the sun shining like fire, so I decided to head for the top of the mountain. Climb a few miles to Huading Temple. After three miles, it's almost close to the top. When I arrived at Taibai Hall, there was no scenery worth seeing around.
Climb up along the mountain road and soon climb to the top of Tiantai Mountain. On the top of the mountain, weeds everywhere were blown down by strong winds. The top of the mountain was high and cold, and the frost on the grass was about an inch thick. Because the surrounding mountain walls reflect sunlight, they are all jade-like flowers and trees, full of exquisite colors.
Mountain flowers are in full bloom in the corner of the mountain, but the flowers on the top of the mountain can't bloom, which is probably limited by the cold at high places. Or go down the mountain along the old road to Huading Temple, then pass the small bridge by the pool and climb over three mountains. The streams return, the mountains are heavy, the trees are dense and the rocks are beautiful. Turn a place, there will be a wonderful scene, which greatly satisfies the desire to watch.
Climb over a mountain and walk along the stream for eight or nine miles, and you will see the flowing water forming a waterfall, flying down the stone gate and turning around and flowing through three bends.
The top floor is a broken bridge, and two huge stones are connected obliquely. The stream collided between two stones, splashing and flowing into the pool after meeting. On the middle floor, there are two huge stones facing each other like gates, and the stream is bound by stone gates, and the water flow is very fast; The outlet of the bottom pool is very wide, and the pouring place of the stream is like a threshold, so the stream can only pour down obliquely from the low-lying place.
The three-level waterfall is tens of feet high, and the scene is very magical. As soon as I stepped off the terrace, the scenery around the island was covered by the winding mountain road, so I couldn't see it at all.
When night falls, I will never come back. I stopped at Xianfu Bridge and looked at the rainbow above the stone bridge. Waterfalls splash like snow, almost making people want to sleep.
