Hiking, what is the meaning of hiking?I don't know what other people mean. But for a person like me, who follows the rules on the outside but is wild and unruly on the inside, Qinling is my spiritual home and my inner utopia. When I hiked into the mountains, my senses were fully opened and my nature was completely released. I was a guest with the spring breeze, but the moment I passed by, I walked into nature and naturally accepted me. The feet are in contact with the earth, the heart collides with the mountain soul, and the heart is integrated at first sight. This feeling, like a trickle, warms the heart;Such as the fragrance of flowers, the aftertaste is leisurely;Like the breeze in summer and the warm sun in winter, the body and mind are pleasant and hearty.
I have climbed more than a dozen peaks this year, but there are actually few that can be said on the stage, if I want to rank the peaks I have climbed this year, rank them according to their difficulty.
That should be: Antler Beam, Ice Crystal Peak, Mangou Pass, Snow Queen Climbing Jade Emperor Peak, Xiaoyu Meadow, Yunji Temple, Snow Queen Dam Ditch, Meridian Yujian Mountain, Lantian Liujiashan Meadow, Shaohua Mountain Shimenxia Scenic Area, Tianziyu Dongling, Moon Ditch Piercing Tapangou, Shenshuiyu Luojialiang (twice), Lantian Chenjia Mountain, Yunyi General Mountain, Ziwuyu Xuandu Altar (twice), Languan Ancient Road, Tanyu Ice Waterfall, Snow Tower Pangou Bamboo Forest.
Among them, whether it is ranked by difficulty or scenery, the best ones are the antler beams and ice crystal tops, which are the essence of this year's mountain climbing.
1. Antler beam (30 km).
Due to well-known reasons, the current Qinling Mountains are no longer the Qinling Mountains of more than ten years, and you can walk into any pass at will and climb any peak. Now to climb a mountain, sometimes you need not only guerrilla warfare, but also tunnel warfare to get where you want to go.
On July 7 this year, he climbed from 11 o'clock in the evening to 8 o'clock in the morning to reach the summit of the antler beam, and then rested for three hours and then walked non-stop until 8 o'clock in the evening. Wearing the stars and the moon, flowing through the river and the forest, from the night to the night. With the stars, with the moon, and with the sun. This was probably the first time I had hiked such a long distance, and if the ascent was out of pure love, the second half of the descent was all about tenacity, and every step was difficult, but the strong mind allowed me to complete the whole journey.
But in retrospect, there is no pain at all, except for beauty. The hazy night, the bright moon, the brilliant starry sky, the glimpse of the antler sunrise, the steep and magnificent cliffs, the stone forest chopped by knives and axes, the windy fir forest, and the romantic meadow of wildflowers. The top of the green mountain, the mountain outside the mountain, such as the pure land outside the world, such as the empty valley and the orchid, makes people "a glimpse is a shock, and the fragrance is chaotic". You smile, I'm intoxicated for half my life.
After coming back from Antler Liang, I listened to Ma Liang's "The Rest of My Life", and I couldn't help but be interested, and I recited a piece of "The Rest of My Life", but it refers to Antler Liang.
The rest of my life" misses you on a windy day.
Running to you on a rainy day.
The world is noisy, and you are always independent.
Watching coldly, silent.
The wind is surging, sit back and watch.
The clouds are rolling and the clouds are soothing, and the silence is waiting.
The wind rises for some reason.
The clouds go for some reason.
The world is floating, and for some reason it comes and goes in a hurry.
You've seen the boundless prosperity.
I have also come to the end of time.
With a flick of your fingers, it will be ten thousand years in an instant.
The grass is ruined, but the world is true.
Chance days, chance encounters.
You smile, I'm intoxicated for half my life.
For the rest of your life, the glory is you.
For the rest of your life, it's you.
For the rest of my life, I will dance with you in the winter snow.
For the rest of my life, I will run with you in the summer rain.
For the rest of your life, all eyes can see is you!
Second, the top of the ice crystal.
If the antler beam is described as "great beauty", then the ice crystal top is "amazing". But maybe it was a good time for me to go to the top of the ice crystals and witness the most beautiful time of the year for her.
At the top of the ice crystals in mid-October, the golden-red fir is as yellow as gold and red as the glow, contrasting with the desolate sea of stones and the elegant sea of clouds. One side is rough, the other side is beautiful, under the treacherous sky, desolate and vast, ethereal and far-reaching.
The altitude of the ice crystal top is 3015, which determines its unpredictable weather. Here, there is a seamless switch between the blue sky and white clouds and the dense fog, as if the ice crystal goddess holds the remote control in her hand, opening the ink sky at any time. The blockbusters of the sea of clouds are released from time to time, changing minute by minute. Clouds and mist sometimes cover the sky and sweep over the mountains;Sometimes the ribbon is entangled, like silk, teasing the goddess. There are thousands of shapes and changes. Mountains are paper, clouds are ink, flowing ink paintings, still time and space. The stunning coming from ancient times is touching in the wind and frost, and it is bright and beautiful.
The top of the ice crystals in the golden autumn gives people a shocking beauty. The desolation of the sea of stones, the golden cans of the firs, and the agility of the sea of clouds collide, gallop, flow, and change in the mountains, making people stray into a fairyland that changes rapidly. In the last second, he was still rolling in the sea of clouds, and he didn't know the true face of the mountaintop;In the next second, he returned to the Stone Sea Chaos Formation, lost in the Stone Sea, and was drunk in a dream.
Long after returning from the top of the ice crystals, it was boring to climb other mountains. Because this time I entered from the scenic spot, I also wanted to go to the night climb from the wild road of Zhongnan Villa, but soon there was a "Eighteen Fake Donkey Friends Arhat" who climbed the ice crystal top at night and was searched and rescued, and then the wild road was quickly blocked. What can I say?That's why I've never liked to take people up mountains. Many novices never wear hiking boots, and they dare to brave the mountains with a stupid and fearless spirit without any outdoor experience and equipment. Mountaineering, the first element is safety, and the second is to walk the wildest road and see the most beautiful scenery within the scope of one's physical strength and ability.
3. Mangou pass.
This is June, a week before going to the antler beam, climbed to the mangou pass, only one meter away from the big cliff of the antler beam, because of the lack of time to retreat, the second half of the forest road to walk the night road, out of the mountain entrance is already 11 o'clock in the evening, back to home at 1 o'clock in the morning.
The scenery of Mangou is more beautiful than that of Niuquangou. The water is clear and the mountains are secluded, and the forest is a secret place. Nine steps and one water, ten steps and one pool, waterfalls are stacked, and streams are murmuring. The ancient trees are towering to the sky, covering the sky and the sun. Everything is fresh and verdant.
Fourth, the fourth thing that impressed me was my trip to Zhongnan Mountain, which I entered from Chenxing Village, Ningshan, but I only climbed to Xiaoyu Meadow due to physical exhaustion. On the way down the mountain, he was ridiculed by a fellow traveler for his "kindness". After I came back, I was lost for a long time, and I didn't ** until I reached the top of the antler beam.
Fifth, the top of the Jade Emperor of Yushan.
Yushan climbed twice in December, but finally succeeded in reaching the summit last Saturday. In fact, the road in Yushan is not very long, and the safety factor of the parallel road is relatively high in the Qinling Mountains. It is suitable for going in and walking when the snow is falling, watching the rime, listening to the snow falling, and walking to the Du Fu Observation Deck, without climbing to the top of the Jade Emperor (the summit section is relatively difficult).
Sixth, the moon ditch, the tower ditch.
This route is one of my favorite routes these days, although it is a shallow mountain, the intensity is not high. But when you come and go, there are secluded bamboo forests and farms outside the world. Especially when it begins to snow in Xi'an City, you can arrive by car for an hour, climb for 40 minutes to the bamboo forest, watch the green bamboo become Qiongzhu, listen to the snow sprinkled in the bamboo forest, a piece of jade is broken, elegant in the world, amazing the mountains and rivers, quiet time and space.
Get in touch with nature
In fact, every mountain I climbed this year is beautiful and has its own characteristics. Such as Yunji Temple, suitable for spring and summer to walk around and see the bright redbuds. Tianziyu East Ridge, suitable for autumn to enjoy the red leaves, see the colorful Qinling Mountains. Shenshuiyu is suitable for the warm winter sun in early November, walking through the oak forest mountain beams, watching the light and shadow flicker, dead leaves turn into flowers. Meridian Valley, any time can be, when there is nowhere to go, go in and walk around at will, listen to the thousand-year-old echo of the Meridian Ancient Road, and see the sea of clouds in Jianshan.
Shenshuiyu. 2023 is already far away, and it seems impossible to complete Dongliang and Jianyuling, which were originally planned this winter, and can only be left for 2024
2024, currently planned for January: Huashan, Dongliang. Chase the most beautiful winter snow and leave a flying time.
