Travel Notes|Yandang Mountain Ecstasy Valley

October 10, 2021. A trip to Yandang Lost Soul Valley. The plan is to show the holy gate, the Lost Soul Valley, the Lingyun Peak, and the Guikeng. 10 kilometers. Climb 1885 meters.

On the morning of the 10th, we set off from Ningbo to see the Holy Gate of Yandang Mountain. Self-driving 2 cars with a total of 9 people. It was past 9 o'clock when we arrived. A car stopped at the end of the Guikeng route. Come back and buy tickets to enter Xian Sheng Gate. Start from the path on the right side of the scenic area.

There was no movement at all during the first two steps of the climb. do not care. Based on having been there before. Go into the mountains. Climb all the way up to the entrance of the Xianshengmen boulder. Take a short break and wait for the next team to assemble. Cut left into the Lost Soul Trench. That is the top of the Shy Waterfall. Slippery on rainy days. Be careful going down. Go to the bottom of the ditch and go up the creek to see the No. 15 rescue sign. A section of the cliff has been marked with a via ferrata.

After a brief rest, the climb begins. The cliffs here are covered with moss and moisture all year round. There is no railway to climb, and it is difficult to climb up and grab the rope. Climb up in the first section, cut from the left to the right of the creek channel, and use a rope to climb in the second section. It’s a long way up. The third section cuts to the stream channel, and uses a rope along the edge. The fourth section of rocky slope goes around the top of the cliff on the upper right. Climb straight up. A tree attached to the cliff rises from. At your feet are hundreds of meters high cliffs. The danger is extremely high. Explain to the Haifeng team in advance. Reminder to take care of teammates. Be careful.

Saw the No. 11 rescue sign. It means that you have left the Lost Valley. It was already past 1 pm. Our vanguard will take a break and have something to eat. Wait for the rear team to meet up.

At this point, you cut right to the creek channel and go straight up into the Black Stone Sea. There is black stone all around. The upward slope environment is similar. Trail signs are sometimes missing. Go all the way up by feel. It’s so slippery that you don’t have to use your strength, and the rocks are messy and you’re afraid of stepping on the ground. The difficulties can be imagined. Brother Chunyang loosened rocks and strained his tendons. The wild wolf felt cramps when he raised his feet too much.

Coupled with the heavy physical exertion, everyone was soaked to the skin. I can't tell the difference between sweat and rain. Only Qiang Lu Yaya strolled along easily.

Continuously climbing up at 4 pm, the end of the stone sea is Xiaozhucong. Jump in head first. Make your own way. Half an hour later, I emerged from the small bamboo forest and saw the mountain road. When I walked out, I saw that I was at Baigangjian. Fortunately, we managed to reach the right path before dark. As long as there are mountain roads, I’m not afraid. It was too cold when the wind blew on the top of the mountain. Descend quickly.

While descending along the ridge, the wind was strong and the clouds were strong, and the scenery was fantastic along the way. A worthy trip. The outdoors is risky. No matter how powerful you are. Be cautious.

Rescue sign No. 11. This point should be the Eighteenth Cave, the Lost Soul Valley. Crucian carp has hundreds of hills on its back. The Black Stone Sea (the mouth between the two peaks of Baigangjian and Lingyunjian) is the fulcrum of four directions. If you come down from Heishihai and see the No. 11 sign, then your lower left is the Lost Soul Valley, and a little bit straight up to the right is the intersection of stone steps. From here, go up to the right and go to Crucian Carp Back Baigangjian. Go straight to the left and you will find the 18th Cave.

Both the Lost Soul Valley and the Eighteenth Cave can be found in the Xianshengmen Scenic Area. Comparatively speaking, the 18th hole is better between the two.
