10. On the main peak of Changbai Mountain to see Tianchi, there are two tour routes, and I choose the route with few people to prevent Tianchi from changing its face instantly.
The eco-friendly buses have completed their mission when they come to the main peak transfer center, and tourists need to queue up to buy a "reverse station" to the main peak.
The "reverse station" is a white minibus with a uniform style of 11 people, and even the driver seems to be "a thousand people", they are dressed in gray-white overalls that should be marked by Changbai Mountain Tourism Co., Ltd., and almost all of them are in the age group of 40 to 50, almost everyone has a flat head and wears sunglasses. The "reversing cars" lined up one after another filled the entire parking apron, and judging from the continuous numbers posted on the cars, there were about 100 or dozens of them, which seemed to be well-equipped and mighty.
From the main peak transfer center to the main peak of Tianchi, take the tourist road for 102 km. According to the driver, the prescribed time for taking the scenic bus up or down is 17 minutes, and the speed is 36 kilometers per hour, which is said to be a safe speed, and it is also convenient for nearly 200 vehicles to travel and dispatch.
The atmosphere of taking the minibus from the main peak transfer center is tense and happy. In addition to the driver, each minibus can seat up to 10 passengers. When it is full, it is easy to count tourists. The road to the main peak of Changbai Mountain has many steep slopes and bends, and it is quite nervous to travel widely at the beginning. But the driver was very talkative and humorous, and as soon as he got in the car, he said: "I am responsible for safe driving, and everyone is responsible for swaying, having fun, and watching the scenery in the car." "The tension in the car was resolved at once. Some of the tourists in the car are old tourists. An aunt said: "There are 72 bends on the mountain, and each bend will not be wastedAfter that, he took the lead in swaying with the car, causing the car to laugh.
Out of curiosity and freshness, the 17 minutes of the minibus ride up the mountain are not short in the feeling. In addition to the curved and steep roads, another visual impression of the main peak of Changbai Mountain is that there are many ravines and canyons, sparse vegetation on the surface, and in many places it is even barren. This may have something to do with the geological conditions of the crater.
The visitor center of the main peak of Changbai Mountain is located on a relatively gentle mountain bag in the northwest of the main peak. There is a weather station and a garrison post nearby. It gives the impression of being imposing and harsh.
The main purpose of tourists climbing the main peak of Changbai Mountain is to see the Tianchi, not to see the turquoise and clear Tianchi, or to see the Tianchi shrouded in fog and rain, and the Tianchi covered by snow. Due to the rapid climate change of the main peak of Changbai Mountain. If you stay at the main peak for two or three hours, you can often see different heavenly pools.
There are two paths to see the Heavenly Pond. One is called the path, which has a long distance around the Tianchi on the main peak, the angle of viewing the Tianchi is larger, and the path is also more steep and the geological conditions are diverse. It is a classic path to see Tianchi, so it is also the most tourists, and it is necessary to control the number of people in sections, and the waiting time is long.
One is called the path, it is a convenient path, the road terrain is relatively flat, the distance around Dianchi Lake is also shorter, there is generally no queue, many elderly and impaired tourists will choose this route.
After Guangyou came to the main peak of Changbai Mountain, he began to queue up on the path, and suddenly saw the fog on the top of the mountain, and was worried that Tianchi would "change its face", so he immediately took the path without queuing to watch Tianchi, so as to see the green and clear Tianchi. Unexpectedly, Tianchi became friendly again, the clouds rose and fell, and it was extremely clear.
After touring the path, Guangyou calmly went to the path to queue up to watch. It's really worth the trip, it's all rewarded, it's very cost-effective, and it's very comfortable.
ElevenFeel the guardrail of the main peak road of Changbai Mountain
Riding up and down the main peak of Changbai Mountain gives tourists the feeling of safety. I did my homework beforehand, and I didn't find any reports on the Internet about the traffic accident that occurred on the main peak section of Changbai Mountain.
Guangyou believes that in addition to the safety management of the scenic spot and the quality of the driver, the guardrails erected along the outside of the road also play an important role in safety assurance. On the way down, Guangyou paid special attention to these guardrails, they are thick and reliable, and they are completely erected in the necessary sections, which can completely stop one or two minibuses carrying 11 people and traveling at 36 kilometers per hour. Guangyou took some guardrails along the road**, some of them are as good as new, and some are "scarred" and deformed in many places. This "scarred" part is where they come in – it's the guardrail that saved the car from overturning.
Guangyou suddenly thought, if those buses are allowed to drive on this road of the main peak, can these guardrails still play a role in safety?The conclusion is uncertain and even extremely suspicious!
This means that the safety barrier is matched to the quality of the vehicle to be protected. In other words, guardrails have a safety factor, and vehicles that exceed a certain mass are not within the scope of this safety factor.
This profoundly inspired Guangyou's understanding of life. In fact, each of us also has a "safety guardrail" in social life, which is your character and ability;And your desires and positions are like "the quality of the vehicle". Your moral ability is poor, but your desire and position are very high, which is called unworthy of virtue and ability, and then it is dangerous. When Guangyou went to sea in the early nineties of the last century, he once knew a government official, and Guangyou broke off relations with him through some contacts, although he later served as the secretary of the provincial party committee for a long time. But virtue is not worthy, and he was finally imprisoned, and ended up with a miserable ending in his later life.
After Guangyou was suspended without pay, he served as a senior executive of a private enterprise for a long time. At first, he was arrogant, and he always wanted to talk about a reason and win or lose. Later, I experienced a lot of things, and I knew that "the high place is not cold", "be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years" and so on. A friend asked me, you have been an executive in a private enterprise all the year round and have not caused trouble, what is your secret?I told him one of the things I benefited from the most: Think about what are the most likely dangers before you go to bed every night
Guangyou has a friend who is very familiar with him, and he has complained many times that I don't support him enough, in fact, Guangyou knows that this old man is difficult to take on heavy responsibilities, and his virtue and ability are at the level of "not very reliable". One day, this guy suddenly announced in front of me that he was the general manager. Not only did I not feel happy for him, but I secretly sweated for him. Sure enough, this old man later fell into debt and his life was a mess.
I was still a little hazy about this understanding, and although I understood it in my heart, it was difficult to express it vividly. After going to Changbai Mountain and pondering the guardrail of the main peak road of Changbai Mountain, Guangyou was somewhat enlightened: if a person wants to ensure his own safety and stay away from danger, he must improve his character and ability, reduce his desire and demand, and set up a "guardrail" with a high safety factor for himself!
