Heilongjiang Da Balding Mountain is 1690 meters above sea level (145 meters higher than Mount Tai). Chen Xiuqing said: "At 4 o'clock in the morning on January 7, 2024, a group of 11 people from the China Overseas Chinese Photographic Society, including Chinese photographers from Hong Kong, Macao and Japan, began to climb the plank road in the middle of the mountain of Da Balding Mountain, the highest peak in Heilongjiang. At this time, the temperature was minus 36 degrees, the snow in the boardwalk was deep and pitch black, and we almost crawled in the plank road for nearly 3 hours to reach the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain is extremely cold, the cold wind is rapid, the mobile phone shows that the temperature has reached more than minus 50 degrees, here the breath becomes ice, the trees are cold, and the hand is frozen, it is really a limit trip to think about the extreme fear. ”
In the end, he sighed: "The real warrior sings the wind!" ”
