Early in the morning, I was too happy to sleep. I looked at my watch. It was only 6 o'clock. This is the first time I got up so early. After breakfast, we prepared several bottles of water and food, ready to leave. It took us more than half an hour to reach Niangniang Mountain. After buying the ticket, I followed my parents into the gate of Niangniang Mountain.
The gate of the scenic spot is being rebuilt, and the original red hemispherical gate has been demolished. Now the gate has not been built, and the bricks on the ground are only half paved. Going forward, I saw a large lake with blue waves and crystal clear bottom. My dad said it was Taiping Lake. The surrounding mountains are reflected in the water, and the breeze blows, causing ripples. Tourists are playing by the lake, which is really beautiful.
Walking, three big red characters appeared halfway up the mountain: "Hundred Feet Waterfall". A stream of water flew down, deafening, and the rocks stirred up pieces of water. Under the waterfall, a shallow pool as big as our playground was formed. There are several stone paths in the pool that go straight to the bottom of the waterfall, like the Big Dipper.
Walking on the road, I think the air here is much better than in the city. It smells good and fresh. There are many pine trees and locust trees on the mountain, and the flowers and plants on the roadside grow thick, and several butterflies and bees are flying on them.
We took photos while walking and playing, and before we knew it, it was noon 12. There is still a third of the way to the chessboard. My stomach growled like a disobedient child, and my legs didn't listen to me. We sat on the natural stone bench in the locust tree forest and took care of all the food we brought up the mountain.
We were full of energy and ready to continue climbing. We met several passers-by and went up the mountain in droves. It's okay to walk a short distance down the mountain, but I was exhausted when I climbed up the mountainside. I picked up a strong stick from the roadside as a crutch. If you are tired after a few steps, just sit on the steps and have a rest before you go. We stopped and walked all the way, and finally reached the top of the mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, the trees at the foot of the mountain are lush. The mountain is being expanded to build a hotel. There is a TV tower on the top of the mountain, which is very high. Standing under the tower, the cold wind blows hard.
After ten minutes' rest, we went down the mountain. We went back the way we came. When we reached the chessboard stone, there were two roads. Once when we went up the mountain. Dad said "don't go back", so we took another bus. The other way is to turn to the mountain and then turn down. Let's go along this road. Mother sprained her leg when she went down the mountain, so she was delayed for a while and walked a little slowly. My mother and I limped down the hill and walked to the intersection of the two roads. It's getting a little dark. There are two long holes in the front. When we reached the second hole, it was already dark. We held hands together, and dad used his mobile phone to illuminate. A little further, it's almost completely dark, and we don't have a flashlight, so we can only walk in the dark by the light of our mobile phones. A few people came from behind, and they said that there were more than 20 people coming from behind, so they should be grateful. Finally, a light beam appeared in front, coming from the construction site in front, and several people behind were shouting, "Come out of the mountain."
Although we were very tired today, we had a good time and experienced the beauty of nature.
