Phoenix Mountain is an easy-to-get hill, with convenient transportation, self-provided parking lot, buses with several routes, and the trail is very easy to walk, very relaxed and not tired. Even people who don't usually exercise can walk the whole distance, and three-year-old children can walk the whole distance by themselves under moderate guidance. It can be regarded as a hiking trail in Xian Yi, old and young.

I don't know if it's because there are many migrant workers who come to climb mountains during their holidays, and there are many different types of restaurants nearby. Before you want to climb a mountain, you can eat enough, buy water or drinks and snacks, and then go climbing. After entering the park, there are fewer choices for selling stores, and the unit price is also more expensive.

There is a big square at the foot of the mountain, and there are three routes to the temple on the mountain. A trail is all steps, only about 8 steps, and there are two pavilions and several platforms in the middle to rest. Most of them are shaded by trees, even if the sun is not too bright, so it takes about ten minutes to walk down the mountain. The other is the trail along the driveway, with few steps and gentle slopes. The total distance is a little longer than the step, but it is easier to walk. You can choose this one with children or the elderly. The third is a small trail along the stream, which is easy to walk and full of green trees. In the past summer, many people brought their children to play with water or tied a hammock to rest among the trees. After seeing this scene, they felt happy and cool off. However, the amount of water this year is very small, and it seems that there are no people playing with water. Because of the epidemic situation, this trail has been closed several times. You can choose any of these three trails. Everyone has different preferences, and everyone has his own path.

Some people just walk to the temple, and then go down the mountain. If their physical strength is a little better, they can go up again. This temple covers an area of not small, it has everything, incense is flourishing, and pilgrims are in an endless stream. When walking along the trail, there will be people selling incense along the way, and the price will be shouted at will. I have heard of several price points, and there is a big gap. If you want to buy it on the road, you should pay attention to it. The temple also sells it, and the unit price is slightly higher. Generally, incense is burned first, and incense burners are worshipped in front of the temple and around it, and then they go into the temple to worship with their bare hands. There are regulations that incense cannot be brought into the temple, and now the epidemic situation stipulates that you should wear a mask and show your reservation code, green code and itinerary code when entering the temple.

There are two turtle ponds in front of the temple. There are several big turtles living in the smaller pond, which is not very active. Hundreds of small and medium-sized turtles live in the big pond in front, and you can see them basking in the sun and swimming. The shop in front of the temple sells turtle feed to feed, and turtles who lose the feed will slowly come over, and groups of turtles will compete for food. Some people will buy small turtles at the foot of the mountain and release them in this big pond, but it seems that this place is not suitable for releasing small turtles. Compared with the turtles in the pond, the size difference is too big, and the small turtles will probably become food.

Go up the stairs next to the temple, or go up the stairs behind the temple, about 7 steps, and you can reach the top of the mountain. The platform at the top of the mountain is not big, so it can be crossed in big stones in about twenty or thirty steps. There is a gazebo and a small selling house, but the things sold are a little less and a little expensive.

from the top of the mountain, there are mountains, waters and cities nearby, with beautiful scenery and cool breeze blowing, which makes you feel relaxed and happy. Sitting here and looking at the distance, the sweat that has just poured down the mountain, under this beautiful scenery, feels worthwhile.
