Chapter 5 

On Saturday morning, I slept until I woke up naturally.

The sun shone on her room, and Yan Tingxin stretched out on the bed.

She picked up the glass jar next to the pillow, closed her eyes and pulled out a paper crane, and opened it.

- Mount Emei.

The trip has begun.

After a simple wash, Yan Tingxin changed into a sweatshirt, sweatpants, sneakers, a full potbelly water cup on his back, and a canvas schoolbag that was the simplest and lightest, put in the wardrobe and eat ashes, which was loaded with power banks, tissues, keys, selfie sticks, and ID cards...... Unscrew the door.

Bite! Your destination Mount Emei has arrived!

Yan Tingxin appeared in a public toilet cubicle in the visitor center at the foot of Mount Emei Scenic Area, in the outer square.

Out of the toilet and to the square, this square is a huge parking lot with buses, coaches, taxis...... Follow the signs for the Visitor Center and take a few steps to the ticket office of the Visitor Center.

After the security check, the staff at the ticket office were very enthusiastic, knowing that she was a tourist from out of town, and gave her a tour map of the scenic spot.

There are various scenic spots of Mount Emei strung together on the map, there are green lines, dark green routes, blue routes, and several.

Which one should I take?

Seeing that she couldn't choose, the staff first asked her, "How many days do you plan to play here?"

Yan Tingxin: "One day." The

staff pointed to the ticket booking guide on the left side of the tour map, "If you want to go one day, you can take the bus and cable car to and fro, which is the route marked in blue next to it."

Yan Tingxin: "I also want to climb the mountain." "

Take the car to Lei Dongping, and then from Lei Dongping to the Receiving Palace." There is a hike in the middle where you can climb the mountain. Then take the ropeway to the golden top from the leading hall, and climb a few more steps, you can see the sea of clouds at the highest point of the mountain. If you want to climb to the top of the gold by yourself, one day is not enough, at least two or three more days of play.

Yan Tingxin: "Okay, well, then I'll choose this route." "

A total of 370.

Yan Tingxin: "Okay, thank you." After

buying the ticket, I followed the flow of people and got on the bus, all the way were mountain roads, and Yan Tingxin chose a position with a better view in the front row. Sitting in the car, I looked curiously at the weeds in the woods around the mountain road.

After about half an hour of sitting, she was sleepy, and it was easy to get sleepy in the bus, so she slept for a while and woke up for a while. Unexpectedly, it took two or three hours to ride in the car.

It's all winding roads, and people who sit there want to vomit.

Shocked!

I didn't expect it to be so far away in the scenic spot! How long is the trail?

After getting out of the car, a blast of cold air hits.

Cold!

The dead junior high school geography knowledge suddenly began to attack her!

- For every 1 km of altitude gain, the temperature will drop by 5 degrees.

Open the tour map and see that Lei Dongping Station is 2430 meters above sea level.

So this place is almost ten degrees lower than the visitor center at the foot of the mountain!

The altitude of more than 2,000 meters has not yet reached the top of the mountain, and halfway up the mountainside, there are water droplets and fog in the air that can be seen by the naked eye, and this cold fog seems to be able to wet clothes.

My elbows were a little cold, and I walked up the mountain, and there was no shortage of small stalls for renting cotton clothes on the way.

In the past, if you think about the altitude of more than 3,000 meters marked on the top of the mountain, and you don't bring extra clothes, you can only spend extra money to rent a coat at this time.

Obviously, there are a lot of coats in my closet.

Who hasn't bought an ugly jacket when they were studying?

Yan Tingxin found a public toilet, entered the cubicle, and walked out of the cubicle, and in less than a minute, he had an extra warm coat on his body, and he didn't spend any money in vain.

The jacket is ugly, and it is used as a coat when I am studying, and it is put on the shelf after work, but the jacket can be covered here and there, especially to block the wind, and it is very practical to climb the mountain.

Okay, keep climbing up.

After climbing for half an hour, I arrived at the reception hall and lined up to take the ropeway.

There are quite a lot of people climbing the mountain road, but the ropeway is not particularly crowded here, and I quickly got into the van.

Took a few selfies on the ropeway.

Looking down from the cable car, the surroundings are foggy, and you may not be able to see the rumored golden dome of the Buddha today, the light is not very good.

Yan Tingxin was slightly disappointed, I hope that the next time I come back will be a sunny day, does Jinding have a special weather forecast? Did anyone foresee that you will be able to see the sea of clouds today, or you won't be able to see the sea of clouds?

But just halfway through the ropeway, all of a sudden the surrounding fog disappeared, as if a person was riding a car through the clouds and mist, and suddenly pierced through the clouds.

The surroundings suddenly opened up, the sun was shining directly, and the sky was particularly bright, blue, and pure.

Yan Tingxin couldn't help but exclaim!

Wow, the middle of the mountainside is cloudy, but the top of the mountain is sunny.

There are rainy mountains with hats, and there are no rainy mountains without waists.

So, is the icy cold fog halfway up the mountain a cloud from a distance?

Yan Tingxin's mood instantly became happy, Jinding, sea of clouds, I'm here.

But the moment she got off the cable car, she suddenly felt a little dizzy, did she not sleep well this morning? But she's been getting a lot of sleep lately.

It seems to be the legendary altitude sickness!

A young girl who was always spinning in the flat land suddenly went from a very low altitude to an altitude of 3 kilometers, and her body was a little uncomfortable.

Yan Tingxin sat on the edge of the steps and slowed down, the middle of the mountainside was cold, and the sun was shining on the top of the mountain, although the altitude was high, the temperature was higher.

Yan Tingxin unzipped his jacket, breathed through it, cheered himself up, and charged towards the last hundreds of steps.

There are actually quite a lot of people on the steps of the mountain road, and I am curious about how many tourists the scenic spot receives in a day.

There are some palanquins on both sides of the steps, and the people in this place call them "sliders". Someone is soliciting customers, you can lift the golden top!

A look at the service route and price of the slider next to it is not low.

Just when Yan Tingxin stood for a short while, he saw a child sitting on a slide bar and a fat little brother sitting on a slide bar, going up and down the mountain, passing by her.

Yan Tingxin secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, they were all mountain road steps, and the physical strength of the uncle who carried the slide bar was really good.

Yan Tingxin took a bus and a cable car all the way, and he was not tired at the moment, of course, he didn't need to take a sliding pole. Come to the scenic area to climb the mountain,Life is not perfect if you don't climb on your own.

There are a lot of birds on the mountain, climb a few steps, sit a few steps, stop for a while, and tease the birds.

It didn't take long for Yan Tingxin to finally climb to the top of the gold.

On the top of the golden dome, there is a golden statue of the Bodhisattva of Fuxian, the Bodhisattva rides a six-tusked white elephant, majestic and solemn, full of majesty.

This "statue of the Bodhisattva of the Ten Directions...... Facing the west, wearing a flower crown, with a perfect face and a jeweled chest ornament", it is extremely grandiose, 48 meters high, according to the height of 3 meters on the first floor of a modern building, which is equivalent to the height of a small building of 15 floors.

Looking up, the sun is shining, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, and there seems to be a round rainbow around the golden sun, which is reminiscent of the rumored Buddha's light.

The incense here is very strong, and there is no shortage of people who make additional offerings to the everlasting lanterns.

Yan Tingxin followed the customs of the villagers, and also put on an incense, clasped his palms, and bowed.

She was grateful. Thanksgiving to the old man, grateful for life. I don't know who that old man is, why did he have such magical powers? Was the old man sent by Doraemon? Is it a god? In short, no matter who it is, please be sure to bless her.

There are a lot of tourists gathered on the top of the mountain, and when you come to Emei, you must go to the Golden Peak, which is a holy place for everyone to check in and take pictures. In the open space at the top of the mountain, there are people filming with drones, and children are having fun.

Walking to the guardrail on the edge of the mountaintop, looking far away, under the top of the mountain is a sea of clouds, the clouds are like soft cotton, as if in the fairy town. This must be the place where the gods lived in the eyes of the ancients, and the gods swallowed the clouds and fog here.

"There are many immortal mountains in Shu, and Emei is difficult to match. This is the Tang Dynasty poet Yan Bai's aria for Mount Emei.

Today, she took a bus and a cable car to reach the top of the mountain. In ancient times, when there were no roads and no cable cars, how much effort did it take Yan Bai to slowly climb to the top of the mountain and see the beautiful scenery of this prosperous world more than 1,400 years ago?

Walk along the edge of the guardrail at the top of the mountain, slowly appreciate the gifts of nature, feel the beautiful scenery, and take a picture with your mobile phone, each of which can be used as wallpaper.

She looks here and there.

Above the sea of clouds, completely forgetting the time, until the stomach growls.

Yan Tingxin walked around the small house snack shop near Jinding, and each scenic spot is inseparable from eight-treasure porridge and instant noodles, as well as fried potatoes.

But since they have all come to the scenic spot, what can be eaten every day, what is worth eating?

Yan Tingxin saw a steamer with a plate of steamed pork ribs and sausages!

She was instantly interested: How do you sell pork ribs and sausages?

She bought a large pork rib and happily nibbled on the cured meat.

After drinking a little water, playing for a while, and getting ready to go down!

When she went up the mountain, she took a small cable car, but when she went down, she took a big cable car, and she didn't understand how the specific route went, in short, on the way down, she came to a place with monkeys.

The monkeys here are not the skinny monkeys she imagined to be, and the monkeys in Mount Emei have many 'tourist breeders'.

Don't worry about eating!

There are special scenic staff to maintain order and prevent tourists from being scratched by monkeys, but the monkeys in Mount Emei are not afraid of people at all.

Some of them squatted on tree stumps, some squatted on stones, some hung themselves on guardrails, and some monkeys had bulging bellies, as if they were pregnant with babies...... No matter how many tourists walk around them, they don't run away, but twist their heads curiously to look at them.

For a while, I didn't know who was visiting whom.

Some of the more daring monkeys jumped into the middle of the steps of the trail to be fed by the tourists. Tourists passing by feed it bananas and apples.

Yan Tingxin looked at a monkey curiously for a while, the monkey's eyes were bulging, and he made a move, almost jumping towards her, Yan Tingxin dodged timidly, but the monkey just stopped jumping, as if he was teasing her in turn.

What a naughty monkey.

Pretty cute.

There are souvenir sellers on both sides of the mountain road, and there are even butterfly specimens, but she is not willing to buy the corpses of these butterflies as a 'nostalgia'.

Falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers.

Although butterflies are not red, in her heart, butterflies and flowers are the same, and they should return to nature.

Yan Tingxin did not choose to take a shortcut and went home directly, but honestly completed this section of the tourist experience and returned to the visitor center.

I walked around at the foot of the mountain, and it was rare to come to the scenic spot to play once, and I felt that I had come here and should bring something back, so I chose a monkey doll with long arms in front of a stall.

The palms of the two palms of the monkey doll can be attached together, there are big monkeys, small monkeys, colorful, and the palms of the small monkeys are attached to each other and hung on the neck of the big monkey doll, and the grunt can hang a string.

Yan Tingxin asked the price, and the smallest monkey cost 50.

She was stupidly preparing to pay, and an aunt came next to her, pushing her granddaughter's small cart and strolling around, which was quite life-like.

The child in the cart was about a year old and held the monkey without letting go.

The aunt asked about the price, and the stall owner replied about 50.

Unexpectedly, the aunt directly bargained in half: "Twenty-five." 

The stall owner replied, "I can't sell it at this price."
