In mid-July, the family got up early, drove more than 600 kilometers to Erdaobaihe and arrived safely at noon. As soon as I entered the town, I felt a little bored at first. I remember checking the local temperature before I came. It was about 20 degrees. I thought it would be cool. As a result, it was 30 degrees outside the car, only a few degrees lower than at home, which was somewhat disappointing. Driving in a small town, I feel a little deserted, and I can't see crowds of tourists or passing cars. Fortunately, the town is well built, with clean and tidy streets, fast food and many hotels. This is a standard tourist city.
Driving around the street several times, I was surprised to find that there were no traffic lights and many electronic monitoring devices. Chatting with local people, they said that these monitoring are very good, and the speed limit and courtesy of pedestrians are no joke. At this time, I regretted it. I don't know if I broke the rules just now, and whether I will receive a ticket. By the way, speaking of roads, it may be because there are not many tourists this year. There is no restriction between Erdaobaihe and Beishanmen in Changbai Mountain. Under normal circumstances, after July 1 every year, private cars are not allowed to drive to Beishanmen. Visitors can only take a bus from the tourist distribution center in the town to the north slope of Changbai Mountain, which will be accessible this year.
? I ate fast food in the town at noon and decided to drive to the northern slope of Changbai Mountain, with no restrictions on the road. Maybe when there are few good people, you don't have to wait in line, and you can climb the mountain to see Tianchi in the afternoon. The town is more than 30 kilometers away from the north gate of Changbai Mountain, with high mountains and dense forests along the way and excellent air. I just walked and found that there are very few cars in the same industry. Basically, we ran by ourselves. I didn't know until I arrived that people generally don't go hiking in the afternoon because the time is too short to walk all the scenic spots. The weather in the mountains is really different from that in the town at this time. When I left this town, the sky was clear, but here it was covered with dark clouds.
Driving back to town, I stopped at the famous scenic spot Meirensong Park and stayed there for a while. Meirensong Park is quiet and beautiful. The lawn is full of exquisite sculptures, and there are many resolute and feminine Meirensong. Walking around the tree, through the aisle, a lake and clear water appeared, and many ducklings swam around on the water, chasing tourists for food at this time. All this in front of us, leisurely people, pines and cypresses, quiet lakes and frolicking ducks, can really be described as "a lake with clear water, semi-prosperous and semi-secluded poems", which can make people easily abandon the glitz of foreign things and return to the peace of mind.
Before you know it, it will be dark. I picked up my cell phone and searched for food. I found that everyone's comments here are very good. I found a Korean restaurant and ordered special cold noodles when I was eating. The boss also recommended Changbai specialty mushroom with pig mouth. This dish is dark when it is served. Her mother looked at it and said, "It's not named because it looks like a pig's mouth, is it?" I tasted it and recommended it to her. Then I checked again and found that this mushroom is indeed a specialty of Changbai, which is a bit expensive, but to my surprise, it is actually poisonous. Some people will eat their mouths swollen like pigs, so they are named "pig-billed mushrooms"!
After reading the introduction, I can't help putting down my chopsticks. Keep looking. It turns out that this mushroom is harmless as long as it is treated with alkaline water. I thought it would be safe to eat, so I wear a mask when my mouth is swollen. I don't know anyone in this place anyway. Speaking of cold noodles, every Korean restaurant must order. This thing looks simple, but it is not easy to make it well. It is very difficult to make juice, so the taste of each store will be different. But the taste here is just right, the noodles are strong, the soup is sweet and sour, cool and delicious, and it is delicious with a faint fragrance. After dinner, I saw the street lamp outside, and I remembered that I saw many covered optical networks on the main street. I think the night scene is beautiful.
It was 30 degrees in the town during the day, but now it has dropped to more than 10, and the air is much cooler. Walking in the street, the surrounding lights lit up and the scenery suddenly became dreamy. Watching the Erdaobaihe River flowing from Changbai Mountain pass through the city and slowly flow into the distance, the lights on the river bank are blurred and charming. Walking in this gorgeous light is like crossing into another world. Disappointment and fatigue during the day have long since vanished, leaving only beautiful scenery everywhere. Think about it, isn't this beautiful scenery what everyone yearns for? At this time of the town, the river flows nearby, the lights are dim in the distance, and people's thoughts are like paper cranes flying all over the sky.
Walking, the dusk is getting deeper and the night is as cold as water. In order not to affect getting up early tomorrow to see Tianchi, I decided to go back to the hotel to rest. The night in town is very quiet. It was raining in the middle of the night, and the rain outside the window made people fall asleep. Getting up early is sunny. The hotel owner said, "It will fog when it rains in the mountains, so it is easy to see Tianchi." I'm a little disappointed to hear him say that. Looking up at the sky, there are white clouds in the mountains in the distance. Yes, if I had known that the climate in the mountains was so changeable, Tianchi would have disappeared from time to time, which was rare. However, it is precisely because of this that more tourists are attracted to gamble their luck, just to witness the deep blue in the fairy tale world.
As the first important town at the foot of Changbai Mountain, Erdaobaihe Town is really good. It has many special foods, as well as graceful evergreen pine and cypress; It has a slowly flowing white river and a starry night view of the city; It has a profound historical background and treasures that can be seen everywhere. These all add a lot of color to it. Maybe when we come again next time, we can stay a little longer, slow down, relax and slowly experience the lazy and quiet life hidden in the town.
