Jade Emperor Peak, there should be many Jade Emperor Peaks in the country, the most famous should be the Jade Emperor Peak, the main peak of Mount Tai, the head of the five mountains, because the peak has the Jade Emperor Palace, and the main worship of the Jade Emperor God. From Qin Shi Huang to the Qing Dynasty, there have been 13 generations of emperors who climbed Mount Tai to seal Zen or sacrifice.
Towering Qinling, long to the south. The jade mountain of "Zhong Lantian, the beauty of the south", also has a Jade Emperor Top. According to legend, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that the Queen Mother of the West and the Prince of the East met here and deduced a love affair, which was later transformed into the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. There are still Jade Emperor Ping, Jade Emperor Top, Jade Emperor incense burner, Jade Emperor candles, Jade Emperor basin and Yao Pond on the mountain. . . This paragraph is excerpted from the introduction of Yushan Scenic Area). Legends are always beautiful, they can be made up at will, and they can be extended infinitely, and there is no historical data to verify anyway.
It can be verified that the top of the Jade Emperor of Yushan is the highest flat in the southeast direction of Xi'an, with an altitude of 2239 meters, which can overlook Xiyue Huashan in the east, Weishui Liantian in the north, the mountains and rivers in the south meander, and the ancient capital of Chang'an in the west.
The Jade Emperor Peak, which can be entered from the Wangshun Mountain Scenic Area, can also be entered from the Yushan Scenic Area, and now belongs to the free scenic spots. However, the Yushan Scenic Area is now in a state of unmanaged, so when the mountain is closed, it is relatively convenient to enter from Yushan, and the distance is shorter.
Entering from the Yushan Scenic Area, it is from Lanqiao Township to the top of the Jade Emperor by walking in a straight line, passing through the Baigou Waterfall, the candlestick, and the first line of the sky. But enter from the Wangshun Mountain Scenic Area, it is to take the small ring line to reach the top of the Jade Emperor, but there are other scenery to see in the Wangshun Mountain Scenic Area, such as the general's chair, the flying stone and so on.
I entered from Wangshun Mountain Scenic Area in June 2020, but the farthest should have only walked to Feilai Stone, and I did not reach the top of the Jade Emperor. But before, I thought I had been to the Jade Emperor Peak, and it wasn't until this time that I figured out the true location of the Jade Emperor Peak, and in 2020 I was actually half a meter away from the Jade Emperor Peak.
On December 2, 2023, I entered from the Yushan Scenic Area, but because my friends didn't like to climb the mountain and our physical strength was not enough, we only walked a fifth of the way and retreated.
I am a person who is obsessed with reaching the top, as long as I have been to the mountain, if I have not reached the top, then I will regret it a lot, and I will try my best to make up for it again, to satisfy my simple desire like a child asking for candy. As a result, the Jade Emperor Peak became on the list of my climbing plan.
On December 23, 2023, we set off again. In fact, there was not much time for the day, because there were still people coming to the house in the evening, and we were scheduled to return home by 7 o'clock in the evening. And the departure time is not early, to the 312 National Highway Blue Bridge Crossing has been ten o'clock, sad is to find the village road into the mountain, the snow on the road has not been eradicated has been iced, the car is not hung snow chains, we safety first, did not drive into the mountaineering entrance. Only 2 can be walked from the side of National Highway 3125 kilometers to the mountain entrance of Yushan Scenic Area, and it is wasted at least more than an hour to go back and forth.
It was already eleven o'clock when I arrived at the entrance of the Yushan Scenic Area, and I was nervous, thinking that today's summit would become a bubble again. But they were not reconciled or unwilling, they ran all the way, not caring about slipping under their feet, and at the same time the two of them stipulated: by three o'clock in the afternoon, whether they reached the summit or not, they must go down the mountain.
It's been more than a week since last week's heavy snowfall, but the mountains are still icy and snowy, and most of the snow on the treetops has melted into water, but the snow on the road is still one or two millimeters thick, and the snow on the untouched section of the forest is still up to the calf.
Ice and snow are the most beautiful clothes in the Qinling Mountains in winter, with fluttering feathers and fairy postures. Flying snow is a flower, falling snow is a poem, and snow is a painting. covered up the gloom and took away the loneliness. The affectionate embrace of the snow fairy, the infatuated companionship, let Qinling".There is a rhyme in the incense, and the clear pole does not know the cold".
There were only a dozen people who climbed Yushan all day on Saturday, but most of them only climbed to the Du Fu Observatory and retreated. Two of them went all the way into the mountain with us, because the ditch road to the summit was steep and snowy, they only came here, and persuaded us to go down the mountain with them, we hesitated, but continued to move forward, thinking that the summit should not be far away!
But I ignored the "deceptive" nature of the mountain, forgetting that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are peaks outside the peaks. We stumbled all the way, climbed steep slopes, walked through bamboo forests, climbed peak after peak, until finally I was left with only obsession: I don't believe it, I can't reach the top today. Forget the time, and forget the cold. Fortunately, with the help of faith, I finally won the mountain. At 3:10 p.m., he successfully reached the top of the Jade Emperor at an altitude of 2239.
At the top, the wind roared. And to tell the truth, the Jade Emperor Peak is really worthy of the Jade Emperor Peak, and the final climb to the top is too difficult, you need to use a pine tree, first climb the tree, and then jump from the branches of the tree to the Jade Emperor Peak, and under the tree is a cliff. If you're afraid of heights, don't try it. Especially when I came down from the top, it was even more difficult, I had to ignore the cliff next to me in the wind, and then jump to the tree with a trembling stride, and then go down from the tree to safety.
Five years ago, I went to the Iron Temple on the top of Taixing Mountain, but now I don't have the courage to challenge again.
The area of the Jade Emperor is also very small, less than half a square bar, at most for two people to stand, the top boulder "Lantian Top 2210" I don't have the courage to climb up, I admit that I coaxed, my family's second-pole teammates went up, and I took a ** when I stood there.
However, standing on the top of the Jade Emperor and looking at the scenery around is really beautiful. On the left is the bustling Chang'an that has fallen into the haze, with the village and the road neatOn the right is the majestic Qinling Mountains with its own immortal spirit, the mountains are continuous like a giant dragon lying horizontally, high and low, staggered and scattered, a heavy mountain and two heavy mountains to ten thousand heavy mountains, all wrapped in silver, the immortal desire is floating. Between the valleys, it is a natural mountain stone bonsai garden that is scattered, after the snow, the mountain peaks are paper, the snow is the pen, understatement, smudged into a painting, and the ink landscape comes to the face. At this moment, you are also fluttering, forgetful, time is stagnant, and the past is not there.
But the merciless mountain wind, whistling, reminds you: you don't belong here, go down the mountain, return to your Shura field, comfortable and comfortable, but also eat the prosperous red dust in your heart.
At 3:40, I began to go down the mountain, running all the way, almost non-stop, running from the sunset west mountain to the willow tops on the moon, going down to the scenic mountain entrance at six o'clock, and walking two kilometers of the highway in the vast night, and arriving at the parking lot at half past six.
You can run in the snow and slippery sections, thanks to the new crampons, which are extremely grippy and don't worry about slipping.
P.S. It takes four hours to go up the mountain and two hours and twenty minutes to go down.
Attraction recommendation: The first scenic spot is the Bai Juyi Observation Deck, the scenery is good, you can also climb high and look far away, about an hour up the mountain can be reached.
The second attraction is the Du Fu Observation Deck, which also has "the stones in the clouds open brocade seams, and the sun is never allowed to be embedded." Who looks up to see Tongxiao Road, a foot of blue sky and thousands of feet long". Du Fu Observation Deck is the highest point you can see when you stand at the foot of the mountain, and there is a red flag fluttering here to welcome you.
It takes at least an hour and a half to get from Du Fu Observation Deck to the Jade Emperor Peak.
From the top of the Jade Emperor to the right, you can also go to the Iron Tile Temple, Li Zicheng Racecourse, and Han Smelting Ruins, ready to challenge next time.
