Travel Notes | Huacheng Baiyun, Maofeng Mountain

Earlier this year

Went to Maofeng Mountain, which I have always wanted to visit

Set off early in the morning, the sun is shining warmly on the road

At the foot of the mountain, the cold breath of early winter hits you.

The mountains and the world are separated by the smoke of rivers and lakes.

a white swan

Under the mirror-like water of the lake

All became black swans

Looks like an experienced dragon slayer

Eventually become a dragon.

Early winter is the season when camellias bloom

Along the road are bright red camellias, blooming or falling.

I also planted a pot of camellia, which has already grown stamens.

But it withered before it bloomed

I found out later

Camellia cannot withstand direct sunlight.

There is a maple forest in Maofeng Mountain

Coinciding with the evening view of the maple forest, the scenery is intoxicating

But I think the maple leaves are too red, so I can’t stay there for too long.

Just remember it and leave

Reminds me of a poem:

Most of all, the autumn wind is nosy, red maple leaves and white hair.

Early morning Tyndall effect

Always with mysterious tenderness

There are two roads up the mountain

One is a flat cement road

A road with winding stone steps

Choosing the latter, climbed up the stairs

Because I like the feeling of being extremely tired and sweating.

Maofeng Mountain’s Thousand-Step Ladder, a Millennium Ancient Road

From the northern foothills to the peak, it is entirely paved with granite, with a total of 637 levels.

On the way up the mountain

Only met two fellow travelers

Arrive at the top of the mountain

But many climbers have arrived

If you think about it, as long as you keep moving forward, there will always be companions along the way.

When going down the mountain

I took a road less traveled by, but I didn’t meet any of my fellow travelers on the road.

Stones at the top of Mao Feng Mountain

There is a stone on the mountain that records the altitude of the top of the mountain as 534.9

The other side of the bottom of Mao Feng Mountain

There is a large area of ​​metasequoia

Just out of the water

Failing to see the metasequoia as it should be

Just seeing how tall and tall the trees are

Perhaps this is the most original texture of metasequoia.

Maofeng Ancient Temple, a famous temple in Yubei

It is said to have been built during the Five Dynasties period

A temple in troubled times

With cold eyes and compassion, the treasure phase has been completed

On the day I went, the ancient temple was closed.

I can only smell the incense.

Some believers went to the temple to worship from a distance.

Wait quietly in the store, listening to the sound of the clay pot rolling

The ingredients release the most original and pure flavor in the clay pot

After boiling, add some soy sauce

Light makeup and heavy makeup room

The desires of the mouth and stomach are all satisfied.
