the golden week of November is coming again.
I don't want to be squashed by the crowd, and I'm not willing to waste this hard-won holiday. Half a month before the National Day, I'm aiming at Langshan Mountain in Xinning, Shaoyang, which is close to home and has beautiful scenery.
for me, it doesn't matter where I go, as long as I leave the working environment and can completely relax my brain, it doesn't matter where I go. It is with this indifferent attitude that although my cousin told us that Lang Mountain was not fun the night before we left, it didn't make us back down.
We got up at 5: a.m. on October 1st, and our party (including children) got ready and set out from home at 6: .
The whole journey from our place to the destination is 33km, which takes 3 hours. We enter the scenic spot after 9: , park our car and find the tourist service center. As we hoped, there were very few tourists, and the service staff at the ticket window had an excellent attitude. They patiently explained to us that the scenic spots included in package A in 22 yuan were: Pepper Peak, Purple Xia Tong, Bajiaozhai, Tianyi Lane and Fuyi River rafting, while package B in 17 yuan lacked Fuyi River rafting, so we decided to choose package A. Since we are here, we don't want to miss any scenic spots. The service staff suggested that we choose package B first, because the bamboo rafts in Fuyijiang need to be reserved if there are many tourists, so we can add 5 yuan with the card of package B when we go. I followed the advice of the service staff and chose the B package.
I visited the tourist center and wanted to take a tour bus to the scenic spot at the transfer place. I was told to wait for half an hour. Then my husband asked the staff and learned that there were few tourists today, so we could go to the scenic spot by car. Several people excitedly went back to the parking lot to get the car, carefully looked at the tour route along the way, and agreed to go to the farthest place-Bajiaozhai first.
After driving for about 4 minutes, it was close to noon when I officially entered the scenic spot. When I entered Xinning County, I found a restaurant on the roadside and ate noodles and porridge. None of them were hungry. I also prepared some snacks and fruits in my backpack, so I started climbing without stopping.
All the way up the stairs, everyone stopped and went, and when they saw the beautiful scenic spots, they couldn't wait to take pictures. My husband laughed and disliked that we were all narcissists, and quietly came over to take pictures when we weren't looking. We girls boasted about each other, and you took pictures for me and I took pictures for you, without noticing that the sun was scorching us (the local temperature was 32 degrees).
Litchi girl shouted happily, "We are commemorating youth, and we want to prove that we have been here.". Yes, people don't love beauty, and the devil takes the hindmost. The beautiful scenery also needs beauty. (Ha-ha, covering your face)
The rocks here are unique Danxia forest. The mountains are all smooth and convex, and the hills are round, which looks very graceful. There are only a few weeds and trees with strong vitality growing in the soil on the top or in the concave place. The place where we walk is the stone gallery cut out from the cliff. Looking up, the strange peaks rise abruptly and towering into the clouds, and looking down, the mountains are deep and the cliffs are full of strange rocks and phosphorus.
about two hours later, we arrived at the highest peak of Bajiaozhai, on which there was a temple called Yuntai Temple, where incense was flourishing and many people had worshipped.
As we don't understand Buddhism, we naturally dare not worship in disorder. A few people didn't go into the temple, sat outside and enjoyed the oncoming cool breeze for a while. My legs are already very sore, and I usually sit in an office. Suddenly, some girls are a little overwhelmed by such intense exercise, so they choose to take the cable car when they go down the mountain. 4 yuan/people, like other scenic spots, can be freely combined. There are few people sitting, and many of the cable cars coming up are empty. If you are brave enough, you can choose to sit alone. I certainly didn't dare, so I took the same cable car with my husband and children
The speed of the cable car here is extremely slow. The glass on the two doors has dropped a little, and the wind is blowing outside. When I get to mid-air, the cable car starts to shake from side to side. I'm so scared that I bury my head in my husband's arm, and I even start to worry about what to do if I fall.
I sat for more than 2 minutes, but it felt as long as a century. My whole hanging heart didn't come down until I saw the landing point.
after landing, we ate snacks at the rest place, and my husband rented a motorcycle to pick up the car at the entrance of the scenic spot, and then came to pick us up to the next scenic spot-Tianyi Lane.
There are countless steps all the way again. We slowly lost our enthusiasm for taking pictures, and everyone was tired. It was not until I saw the center of gravity of the scenic spot-the first lane in the world that I was interested. This alley is so strange. The narrowest part of the two mountains is only 3cm, and it looks up with a little light source. In the crevice of the dark stone wall, the clever ancients dug up the stairs one by one, and the fatter people have to lean sideways carefully to get through. It is most appropriate to describe it as "and while one man guards it, ten thousand cannot force it".
There is a "Cable Moon Ladder" after the "Tianyi Lane", which is slightly wider and brighter than Tianyi Lane, but it is also steep.
It was past five o'clock in the afternoon after coming out of Tianyi Lane. Everyone felt hungry, so they began to go down the mountain to find a place to eat and live.
I could have stayed in a homestay near the scenic spot, where the consumption was relatively cheap and I could feel the local customs. But the girls wanted to go shopping at night, so we went to Xinning County to find food. After seeing the Meituan group, wow, this hotel has increased its price during the holidays, and even the more affordable "seven-day chain" on weekdays costs 368 rooms. After comparing several environments, we chose the better "Won New Hotel". I found another place to eat, summed up my previous travel experience, and no longer dared to try local specialties casually. I honestly chose spicy chicken, but it was not satisfactory. Fortunately, everyone was hungry, but they also ate very well.
after dinner, I went to the hotel to put down my luggage, took a shower, had a rest, and clamored for shopping. This stroll lasted for several hours, and after ten o'clock in the evening, I returned to the hotel to sleep.
It was agreed that I would wake up naturally the next day. As a result, my long-established biological clock still woke up at six o'clock. After staying in bed until seven o'clock, I really couldn't sleep any longer. So I got up and began to wash, woke up the girl in the next room and went downstairs to find breakfast.
After breakfast, we started the next day's trip, starting with the "Pepper Peak".
not to mention, there are still countless steps, straight and steep, and there seems to be an endless cliff corridor. (Here is a back picture, you can imagine the front, haha. )
Originally, after crossing this long corridor, we were greeted by the dawn at the top of the mountain. I didn't want to, here, one mountain is higher than the other, and it can go straight into the sky.
The long staircase to the highest peak is vertical and steep. An old man like me could fall at any time if he didn't desperately grasp the railings on both sides. I bent over and stared at the ground, completely afraid to look back. With the help of Miss Litchi, I finally reached the top.
My legs are completely paralyzed, and I have the urge to roll down with my head folded.
by the way, there is also a scenic spot that must be mentioned. As the name implies, you can only see a glimmer of sky when you look up. Compared with the previous "Tianyi Lane", this glimmer of sky is slightly wider, allowing direct sunlight to come in, but it is steeper than "Tianyi Lane", so you must walk carefully. If you are not careful, you can really roll down.
I don't want to walk any more after coming down from "Pepper Peak". My calf is sore and swollen, and I feel totally out of my own. In view of the actual situation of my old man's house, everyone chose to go rafting in Fuyi River first, so at least I don't have to walk. I applauded that "respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue, hehehehehehe".
Unexpectedly, there were not many tourists in Fuyijiang. We didn't need to make an appointment. After arriving at the scenic spot, we found a snack seller, ate some sausages and scones, and saw that the aunt selling oranges was very pitiful. She bought some oranges and chestnuts, and then went directly to the raft, and of course, 5 yuan/person was added.
The raft was "steered" by two old people, and we made a raft with another family. We didn't talk much along the way, enjoying the cool breeze blowing on our faces quietly. Unfortunately, we all wore casual shoes, otherwise we really wanted to sit on the edge and experience the coolness of the river. As soon as this idea came out, litchi girl took off her shoes and socks and sat on the edge regardless of the image, and put her feet into the river to experience it. For the sake of this deadly image, I'd better forget it, sit honestly and enjoy the scenery on both sides. The old man at the bow introduced us to what this stone head looks like and what that stone head looks like. My little girl also asked questions with great interest. Under the blowing of this cool wind, my eyelids were fighting up and down, and I really wanted to sleep. I don't want to miss these beautiful scenery, so I can only hold on, hold on.
After landing, we found that the sun was still so vicious. We also had the last scenic spot-Bauhinia.
When watching Raiders online before, netizens said that "Zixiatong" was nothing to watch, so you can watch it or not. Halfway up the hill, I saw all the weeds and weeds, which all responded to the netizen's statement. Suddenly, I lost interest in seeing the scenery, just as my leg hurt badly, so I gave up climbing and suggested waiting for them in the pavilion halfway up the hill. My husband and little girl volunteered to stay with me, and the three girls continued to climb. I don't know how long it took. I turned over all my circle of friends and read a few articles before they came down. Then, I hung my head and said sadly, it's really not good-looking, and I'm glad to smile. Haha, you know how I got the title of villain.
Finally, I started to return home at 4: 3 pm, and the whole two-day tour came to an end.
Let's take a group photo at last, and then sum up:
The beautiful scenery of Mount Lang is really unforgettable. It has its own unique characteristics. If we have to compare it with other places, such as Zhangjiajie, I think that although the mountains in Zhangjiajie are steep, how can Mount Lang not be a fantastic work of nature! Zhangjiajie is only suitable for distant view, while Langshan Mountain can be conquered. Looking up at the hills, it is so high and steep that I can't believe I can climb them. And when I climbed up step by step, looking at the distance, I had a panoramic view of the mountains and felt that I could climb up, which was incredible.
Then, it is commendable that all the scenic spots in Lang Mountain can be parked for free, and the buses to pick up and drop off tourists are all free. The snacks in the scenic spots are reasonably consumed and the prices are normal. The people in the village are simple and innocent, kind and enthusiastic. The reason why this place is not as popular as Zhangjiajie, I think it may belong to the lack of publicity. You can go and have a look when you are free.
Next, you will have almost half a day to walk around Shanghai.
