At the beginning of 2019, during the Spring Festival, I really couldn’t control my inner restlessness, so I booked the ticket and room alone, and went to Lushan for a few days on the second day of the new year.
When we set off, the weather was gloomy all the time, and it wouldn't rain even if it was going to rain. It was an unpleasant feeling. I took the train to Lushan Station, then transferred to the bus to the foot of Lushan Mountain. Lushan Mountain felt quite layered to me, and it was covered with clouds and fog:
Looking up the mountain from the foot of Lushan Mountain, it was covered with clouds and fog. When we came to Lushan Mountain, we were above the clouds. The weather suddenly opened up and the sun was shining brightly. The scenery illuminated by the sun is really eye-catching.
Winter in the Yangtze River Basin is inherently damp and cold with little sunshine. And the sunshine is so good on Lushan Mountain, I didn't expect it to be so comfortable. I thought it would be much colder on the top of Mount Lushan than at the bottom, but I didn’t expect that it would be much warmer on the top than at the bottom. Lushan Mountain is not only suitable for spending time in summer, but also very comfortable in winter:
Lushan Mountain was originally a holy place to relieve the summer heat. Many villas were built in Guling Town on the mountain. With these clouds, under the bright winter sunshine, not to mention How comfortable it is:
This is Guling Town. There are no people here on the second day of the Lunar New Year. It is very clean and the air is very transparent. With the decoration of festive lanterns, you can take a photo of the scenery.
After eating some KFC on the mountain, we took a tour bus to the Xianren Cave Scenic Area, passing Ruqin Lake in the middle. There are not only mountains on Lushan Mountain, but also several man-made lakes on the mountain. They are called lakes, but they are actually reservoirs built to provide domestic water for tens of thousands of people in Guling Town on Lushan Mountain.
The so-called cliff scenic spot in the Lushan Immortal Cave Scenic Area is said to have been where Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fought. From a scenic point of view, the scenery of Lushan Mountain is far inferior to that of Huangshan Mountain, but fortunately it is a very comfortable place to spend the summer. It is very comfortable to stay on the mountain for a few days. There are many places to live and eat on Lushan Mountain, and the prices are also affordable. There are also buses that go between various scenic spots. It is quite suitable to come here to relax for a few days. It is very relaxing and not tiring at all.
Clouds and mist in Lushan Mountain taken in Xianren Cave Scenic Area. Probably "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain just because I am in this mountain." It is because it is blocked by clouds and fog, so naturally I can't see anything in the middle of the mountain.
This photo was taken when I first came to Lushan in the autumn of 2017. At that time, there was a cloud and mist all over Lushan Mountain. I couldn’t see any scenery wherever I went, but it still had a different flavor. It was precisely because of the regret that I didn’t see anything when I came to Lushan for the first time in 2017 that I had the desire to go to Lushan for the second time in 2019. We need to see what the true face of Lushan Mountain is.
There is also a monkey on Lushan Mountain. This is the red fruit we gave it to eat.
The rocks on the cliff shrouded in clouds and mist should all be sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are less hard than Huangshan granite. Because it is not so hard, it is more conducive to the growth of plants. Therefore, the vegetation on Lushan Mountain is much more than that on Huangshan Mountain, and people will be more comfortable staying here. Because granite is very hard, it retains all kinds of strange and very tall images. Therefore, the mountain scenery of Huangshan Mountain is much better than that of Lushan Mountain.
This is the Immortal Cave, an artificially dug hole in which the so-called immortals are enshrined. In fact, everyone knows that the Fairy Cave in Lushan Mountain is famous because of the famous poem:
"I was born with a fairy cave, and the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak."
This picture feels quite good Okay, the feeling of rays of light under the clouds and mist seems to have some fairy spirit.
The scenery of Mount Lushan at sunset.
The mountains are better when the clouds come, and the mountains are picturesque when the clouds go. The mountains are dim because of the clouds, and the mountains are high and low because of the clouds
————When I came to Lushan, this is probably what I felt. The poems of the ancients were all experienced personally. Try it. If you look at these photos, can you feel this way?
It looks like a ridge from the side and a peak from the side, with different heights near and far.
————There is also this poem. I came down from the Xianren Cave Scenic Area and walked a long way. I looked at those mountain peaks sideways and sideways, and they were all different. They were really different. corresponds to the description of this poem.
Dinner, Zunyi mutton noodles:
What I want is mutton and haggis, a bowl of noodles is about twenty or thirty, and the price is pretty good in the tourist area. After eating a bowl of noodles, your body will feel warm and you will feel much better.
In the evening, the streets became lively. Many people came to Lushan Mountain, but they did not book a hotel. Many people dragged their luggage around to find a hotel. I had booked the hotel two days in advance and was very calm when I arrived.
Guling, the inscription of Qi Gong, actually has nothing to do with cattle, it is just a cool transliteration of English. Guling Square is a good place to see the scenery.
Kuling Town has all kinds of living facilities. I watched The Wandering Earth in the cinema in Kuling Town, so I didn’t waste my evening time.
After watching the movie, it started to rain outside and was a bit cold. I walked through the tunnel through Guling Town, and the scene was quite magical. The first day of the trip ends here, go back to sleep.
When I got up the next day, I saw this scenery when I went out. It was very wet and cold. Some people say that the weather in the mountains is like a baby's face, it changes at any time, and this is not even the fastest.
I took a tourist bus and came to the other end of Lushan Mountain and Lulin Lake. I didn’t expect that the sunshine was still so good. Probably the end of Guling Town is facing the direction of the cold and moist airflow from the north, while the end of Lulin Lake is facing the direction of the south. In the morning, the end of the mountain faces north, and the cold and moist air is blowing, while this end faces the south. , the sun is shining, it is really "the sun rises in the east and rains in the west."
Speaking of which, on the first day we went to the Xianren Cave Scenic Area, which faces west and north. It happens to have the best sunshine and the best scenery at noon and afternoon. The next day we went to the Lulin Lake Hanpokou Scenic Area, which faces east and south, and the sun is best at noon in the morning. The scenery will not be bad if the sun is good.
The mountain scenery seen in Hanpokou is okay, not as stunning as Huangshan.
On the hill next to Hanpokou, I climbed up and took a photo facing Wulaofeng. The high mountain in the front of the photo is Wulaofeng. Please note that on the left side of the photo, you can see a large dark cloud preparing to top it. When I came, the clouds and fog had not completely covered Hanpokou. The sun was still shining on Hanpokou, and I could still see a lot of scenery. In the afternoon, there was just a big fog and nothing could be seen.
So no matter what kind of mountain it is, whether it is Lushan Mountain or Huangshan Mountain, it all depends on the weather. It can easily be covered by a large cloud and fog, so nothing can be seen.
The sea of ??clouds seen from Hanpo Pavilion in Lushan Mountain are actually cold and moist airflow in winter. After those cold and wet airflow cover Lushan Mountain, the scenery will be different again.
I started walking down the mountain to the so-called "Lushan Waterfall", also known as the "Sandie Spring", to have a look. The cold and humid air flow has enveloped the "mountain" of Lushan Mountain, and it is no longer easy to recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain.
In a very wet and cold scenery of "small bridge and flowing water", I tightened the down jacket I was wearing as I walked. The sun was shining on the mountain just now and I was climbing. I was still very hot, so the down jacket Wear them all open.
In order to see the so-called "Lushan Waterfall", the mountain road has many levels, coupled with the very humid and cold air full of water droplets, it is really painful to walk. I will definitely not go here next time.
When I arrived at the Lushan Waterfall, I felt it was quite big, but the clouds and fog obscured my view. I could only hear the loud sound of the water. The sound of the water made me feel that this waterfall seemed pretty good. , it was worth the two or three hours of walking back and forth.
Looking up at Lushan Waterfall, you can’t see clearly.
As the saying goes: "Flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen into the sky."
Is that so? I can't see clearly anyway.
From a distance, if there is no fog, it might be okay.
Finally, I got a bucket of hot instant noodles from the so-called moldy "tea booth". It's wet and cold here, and I'm not in the mood for tea. A bucket of hot instant noodles that can replenish energy is the most practical thing.
Back to the starting point, this one is quite interesting.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, I came to Hanpokou again. The scenery at this time was different from that in the morning. Opposite is Wulaofeng, most of which has been covered by clouds and fog.
The mountains opposite Hanpokou.
Lulin Lake, some people say this looks like the West Lake.
There are layers of smoke in the middle of the mountains. As a child who grew up in the plains, I was very surprised to see such a scenery for the first time. It was getting dark now, so we went back to the hotel to rest.
When I returned to the hotel, I took a sip of the tap water and found that the tap water tasted better than the best mineral water. The water has been left for a few minutes, and a lot of bubbles have emerged from it. The water on the left is the water that has been left for a few minutes, and the water on the right is freshly received. Probably the tap water here is natural mountain spring water, and the water quality is very, very good. I checked the information online and found that the tap water in Lushan has indeed reached a very high standard of drinking water quality.
The food on Lushan Mountain was not very special, so I just ate some of the dry food I brought with me. The next day's trip ends here.
When I got up and went out on the third day, the scenery was completely different. The distant peaks were covered with a light layer of white snow, and clouds and mist overflowed from the first layer of the peaks.
This is a close-up view. The mountain peaks are dotted with some white snowflakes. The clouds and mist flow down from the mountain recesses like running water. The sun is also very bright. The actual effect is great. It would be even better if these houses could be repaired in advance without those scaffoldings.
So I immediately took a tourist bus to the Wulaofeng Scenic Area. This is the highest altitude place in Lushan Mountain and naturally the coldest. As expected, it was covered in silver and covered with cedars.
Everyone is very happy during the festival, and it is rare to see so many snow-covered plants in the surrounding plains unless you go to Lushan Mountain.
Looking at it like this, it definitely didn’t snow on the mountain last night. But it won't be long before the sun comes out and the snow will melt away soon. When I arrived, the snow was already thawing. The scenery on the mountain is varied and varied, and what you can see is only for a moment. It depends on luck, chance, and your own estimation of climate change on the mountain.
After that, I climbed Wulao Peak. I climbed from the first peak to the third peak. The highest point on Lushan Mountain is probably more than 1,500 meters above sea level. At that time, the highest place was also covered by clouds and fog, and nothing could be seen. But what can be obviously felt is that the sun is not far away here. Under the sun, the mist blowing over is warm. Unlike at the foot of the mountain, where the fog is very wet and cold, the fog on the mountain is very warm.
The sky and the earth are spectacular, but unfortunately I can’t see anything.
On the tea table on the top of the mountain, I had another bowl of instant noodles. Although the fog outside still prevents me from seeing anything, the light is obviously much better and people feel much warmer.
Some people want to pose for photos and take photos, but they probably won’t be able to take any photos.
The last landscape scene is when I came to Hanpokou again, and it was probably different.
The ground is like a mirror in Guling Town. After that, I left Lushan. The third day of the trip was over, and the trip to Lushan was over.
Attachment: Some things I saw and heard when I first came to Lushan Mountain in the autumn of 2017:
The first time I came to Lushan Mountain, I climbed from the entrance of Shimen Stream for four or five hours. After climbing half way up the mountain road, we took the cable car up the mountain. When I saw this temple, I always felt that it was a toilet.
It was completely foggy at that time, so I went to visit the magical old street of Guling Town in the evening.
This is the view all morning, and it is also very magical.
Wild fruits in the mountains.
I walked for a while before I discovered the wild chestnuts in the mountains. Some people came to the mountains to pick chestnuts and sell them for money.
Lushan Mountain is actually a rich mountain with rich vegetation and many edible plants.
The so-called botanical garden on Lushan Mountain, several flower pots and flowers in the greenhouse.
I was still in the Xianren Cave Scenic Area. When I went there in 2017, there were still many cats. I was feeding the cats at that time. When I went there in 2019, I couldn’t see a single cat. When I went there in 2017, there were almost no people. When I went there in 2019, there were so many people that the cats hid?
In addition, there are several cultural and historical landscapes on Lushan Mountain. For some reasons, I will not upload photos, just look at the scenery. But as a tourist, you can still go and see it. It is worth seeing and understanding the history.
The scenery of Mount Lu is actually far inferior to that of Huangshan, but it is a good place for leisure, with mountains, water, coolness and comfort. And you can also take a car directly to the mountain. There are buses on the mountain that go to various scenic spots. There are cars coming and going without having to bother to climb the mountain. Sometimes playing is just a mood. If you feel comfortable and comfortable, the scenery will be particularly pleasing to the eye.
