Dream of Huangshan

It was my idea to go to Huangshan. Since I went to Mount Jiuhua and Mount Tianzhu last year, I have been thinking about Mount Huangshan, the most famous of the three famous mountains in Anhui. When my son heard about this plan, he was very excited. "When you come back from the Five Mountains, you don't see the mountains. When you come back from Huangshan, you don't see the mountains." He had just learned this famous saying. He was thinking about the "Welcome Pine" and "Lotus Peak", and besides Huangshan, I was also thinking about the ink Huizhou with "white walls and black tiles and horse-head walls". "I have never dreamed of going to Huizhou in my life." This poem by the playwright Tang Xianzu of the Ming Dynasty has attracted many crazy dreamers to Huizhou to have a dream and to find a dream.

Tunxi Old Street, a quick glance

After a five- or six-hour drive, we arrived at the first stop, Tunxi District, Huangshan City. It was exactly noon, lunch, and we had " The "notorious" and "notorious" smelly mandarin fish.

After dinner, visit Tunxi Old Street.

Xin'an River passes around the city. The grand scene of merchants gathering in the Ming and Qing Dynasties is no longer there. The river is long and has taken away the history, but waves of people come here to look for that history. Walking along the Xin'an River, I always want to hear about the noisy and prosperous past. The river is silent. At this moment, the sky is dark and a rain seems to be brewing. On the rocks by the river, there are three or two women washing clothes. It seems that time has not passed. Tunxi housewives for thousands of years are still washing clothes by the river every day. I was stunned, and suddenly there was a rapid "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ping, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ping, out of my bicycle. There was a large bucket of clothes and a laundry stick standing among them, and he was rushing to the river to wash clothes. The sound of hammers beating clothes is coming from the riverside...

Tunxi Old Street can be said to be "hidden in the city". Across the road from the riverside, you will arrive at the intersection of the old street. .

The street is not long, bustling with people, and is a veritable commercial street. The buildings are still the same, and the products sold may still be the same things as back then: rice paper, Hui ink, tea, sesame cakes, etc. The people who can buy it are all those who are attracted by it. Visitors are coming. There were so many people that I couldn't take a closer look, and I couldn't help myself from taking a closer look. I just walked by in a hurry and pretended to have been here before.

Chengkan Bagua Village

On the way to Chengkan, the rain in the sky has been holding back. Chengkan decided to go there temporarily. Because the time for shopping in the old street is short, it is still early to see that it is still early, so going directly to Tangkou to stay seems to be a waste of an afternoon; it is a bit far to go to Jixi Longchuan, and then rushing back to Tangkou must be very tight, and there is a detour; take the Chengdu road The trip from Kan to Tangkou made full use of time without repeating the same route. It seemed like a good arrangement.

It’s not far from Tunxi to Chengkan, and the road is easy to walk. It takes more than half an hour’s drive. The prosperity of tourism will inevitably promote the development of transportation, so in Huangshan City, it is not difficult to go to any scenic spot.

Chengkan was also mentioned in the documentary "Dahuang Mountain" and is also a representative work of Huizhou folk houses. Zhu Xi praised it as "Chengkan Shuangxianli, the first village in Jiangnan", and Bi Shumin praised it as "the most beautiful village in China". rural". The two Luo brothers moved here because of its unique geographical environment. Surrounded by eight mountains, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and integrates natural mountains and rivers. It is also known as the "No. 1 Feng Shui Village in China".

After entering the scenic area gate, you still have to walk a while to the village. I walked and muttered all the way, but at first glance I couldn’t tell how beautiful it was. Entering the village, there is indeed a different world. The distant mountains echo the scattered ancient villages. Green mountains, green waters, white walls and black tiles create a beautiful picture without painting.

While following the tourists walking around randomly, I watched randomly by myself. Not to mention the stone bridge, the new lotus floating on the water, the silent old house, the ancient stories in the house... just the green plants in the stone jar at the door and the time-honored brick carvings on the wall are all... Exquisite, everything tells the story of time.

Walking through the alleys, every house seems to be similar. You can go around and around without getting lost, because they are all connected. Finally, we arrived at Luodong Shu Temple, also known as Baolun Pavilion. After holding back the rain for a long time, it finally came down. I happened to stop here and listen to the tour guide’s commentary.

The rain was still falling, and it was getting dark, so we had no choice but to leave the village before the rain stopped. As a tourist, I come and go in a hurry, and I can feel too little.

Head to Tangkou and climb Mount Huangshan tomorrow. When we arrived at Tangkou, it was already dark and the rain was still falling. Through the car window, I took this unique photo. It was worth it in Huizhou.

“If you climb Mount Huangshan, you will see no other mountains in the world.”

Xu Xiake climbed Mount Huangshan twice and exclaimed: “If you climb Mount Huangshan, there will be no mountains in the world.” Its beauty has inspired countless poets, painters and other artists to chant, describe and be intoxicated by it, and has left countless works of art. These works of art praise Mount Huangshan from different angles, allowing more and more people to follow the footsteps of the ancients and come to see the elegance of Mount Huangshan. Huangshan nourishes artists, and artists in turn endow Huangshan with artistic charm. Needless to say, the beauty of Huangshan Mountain is undeniable.

But it seems that the weather is not good for climbing Mount Huangshan. The weather forecast said there was rain before, and it rained again that night. Will the weather be sunny tomorrow? However, I heard that the weather in Huangshan Mountain changes from time to time. It may be raining at the bottom of the mountain, but it may also be sunny at the top of the mountain. It may be sunny at the bottom of the mountain, but it may be raining at the top of the mountain. Even if it is a rainy day, we still have to brave the rain. If we come to Huangshan and don’t climb Huangshan, it would be ridiculous.

The weather cleared up early the next morning, which was really nice. It was only a short holiday, but there were so many people that we had to wait in line for the shuttle bus for several hours, which made us feel anxious. Take the cable car from Ciguang Pavilion. Sitting on the cable car, you can see the sea of ??clouds rolling over the mountains. It is a good time to see the sea of ??clouds. The five wonders of Huangshan Mountain: strange pines, strange rocks, sea of ??clouds, hot springs and winter snow, are introduced in detail and perfectly presented in the documentary "Greater Huangshan". The sea of ??clouds, in particular, is known as the "Wonderland on Earth". I sat on the cable car, not daring to look around. I was suspended high in the air and continued to rise. It was a bit exciting and a bit dizzy. I took a few quick glances and took some photos.

After getting off the cable car, we went straight to the Yingke Pine. There are so many tourists, and it’s so appropriate to walk around one after another. You can't move forward at all, and you can't go fast at all. When you arrive at Panasonic, it's crowded with people. The most amazing pine tree in the world, I finally come to see you! These tourists probably think so too.

Going down the road next to the Yingke Pine, it is only a hundred or so meters down. After passing the "line of sky", you can see the "Three Penglai Islands". Because of the mist, it really feels like a mysterious place in a fairy mountain. Return here, abandon Tiandu Peak, and continue towards Lotus Peak and Guangming Peak.

I was filled with emotion all the way. I really admire the people who founded the mountain, especially Master Pumen. It is because of his unremitting efforts that Huangshan was able to show more of its beauty to the world. There is very little soil on the mountain and almost all of it is covered with rocks, so there are many strange rocks in Huangshan. How difficult it is to carve a road out of stone! What's more, it's on a steep rock wall. When I climbed the hundred-step ladder, my heart was in my throat. It was straight up and down, with cliffs next to it, but the higher peaks and more beautiful scenery are just behind such a dangerous road. Lotus Peak was taking a rest. I passed by and took a look at it from a distance. We looked at each other just for this look!

After Lianhua Peak, you will reach Aoyu Peak, and then to Tianhai. There are strange pines and rocks along the way. I have no time to take care of them at this time. I have to look at the road under my feet. There are too many people and the road is really steep. The road from Tianhai to Guangmingding is not difficult, and you don’t feel tired even if you stop and go.

The current ball at Guangmingding is actually a weather station, and not far away is Alchemy Peak. Pumen once founded the Great Compassion Courtyard here. Huangshan has a close relationship with religion. Taoism and Buddhism are spread here. It is said that Huangdi Xuanyuan cultivated himself here and refined elixirs and became an immortal. Huangshan got its name from this, and it also accumulated a rich Yellow Emperor culture. An inconspicuous stone sculpture next to Guangmingding also tells the story of collecting medicine, refining elixirs, and attaining enlightenment and becoming an immortal.

After getting off Guangmingding Peak, we went straight to Baieling and queued up to take the cable car down to Yungu. Many attractions have also been skipped. Looking back at Huangshan, Huangshan is still shrouded in mist and misty. Have I been here? Have I been?

Ink Painting Hongcun

Hongcun is planned. Hongcun is a place where the surname Wang lives. It is introduced in detail in the documentary "Dahuang Mountain". Descend from Huangshan Mountain and go straight to Hongcun. When traveling, you spend more time on the road. From Tangkou to Hongcun, the mountain road is winding and winding. There are lush forests and bamboos on the mountain. Occasionally, a stream flows through, with clear water and smooth rocks. If it were not for the development of tourism, this place must be very quiet. It is no wonder that wealthy businessmen moved here to escape the war. Although I was tired, I have to say that the journey was enjoyable.

After finding the accommodation we had booked before, we had dinner and planned to visit the village in the evening. The tickets for Hongcun are valid for three days. If you buy a ticket tonight, you can see the night view and continue the tour during the day tomorrow.

Without looking at the map or the guide, I entered the village and wandered around in the alleys following the lights. Even though it was night, the village was still lively, and some people even set up small tables at the door to have dinner.

I accidentally entered a place, suddenly opened up, and a pool of water lay quietly in it. (When I came the next day, I found out it was Moon Marsh.) The houses are built around the water, and there are lanterns hung in front of each house, but it also has a unique flavor.

Just took a walk around the place, looking at the houses, the lanterns, and Hongcun at night.

After breakfast the next day, continue the footsteps of Hongcun. The sky was clear and clear, probably a moment of peace before the rain came. There were already a lot of tourists, and the quiet ancient village seemed to be minding its own business in silence. Following the tourists, we passed two ancient trees at the entrance of the village and walked to the right on the road to the south lake. We discovered the beautiful ink landscape set against the backdrop of mountains and rivers, which corresponds to the saying "people walk in the painting". It is worthy of being called "in Chinese painting". countryside". If you had been here last night, there would have been lanterns hung in front of every house, and they must have been beautiful.

After passing the stone bridge, you will find Nanhu Academy. Then we visited a few scenic spots at random and arrived at Moon Marsh, the center of the village, also known as the "cow's stomach". Hongcun pioneered bionics and wrote a water article around the shape of a cow. Clear stones are spread around the moon marsh, and houses with white walls and black tiles are arranged in an orderly manner. The cloud shadows pass by, and the houses are reflected in it, like another painting. It's raining at the moment, and in the mist, there's a splash-ink freehand painting.

Next to Yuennum is the Wang Clan Ancestral Hall. Without taking a closer look, we came to Chengzhi Hall, which is known as the "Folk Palace". The interior decoration of bricks, stones and wood carvings is magnificent, showing the characteristics of Huizhou architecture everywhere. The tour guide told me how wealthy this family was at that time. Stroking the wood carvings of these old houses, they were touched by the craftsmen who built them more than a hundred years ago, by the proud owners, or by the servants of the house... Now these Where have all the people gone? The wood carvings are still here, and continue to be admired, touched and admired by tourists coming and going.

After leaving Chengzhi Hall, not far away is Shuren Hall. Shuren Hall can be said to be a small museum in Hongcun. He only stayed for a moment. Go out of the village through the alley. Passing by a small courtyard, the courtyard was full of flowers and plants, and a little girl was playing there freely, so envious. Just grow up quietly like this and grow into a gentle and virtuous woman like Hongcun!

When you come out of Decun, you can see art students sketching by the lake everywhere. Hongcun is in their paintings, and they are also in Hongcun's paintings. Maybe they are here to pursue dreams, or maybe they are here to build dreams for others.
