Jinyun Xiandu Dinghu Peak Crossing

Dinghu Peak is the core scenic spot of Xiandu Scenic Area, with a bottom area of ​​2,468 square meters, a top area of ​​710 square meters, and a height of 170.8 meters. It borders Buxu Mountain to the east and Lianxi River to the west. Rising from the ground like a bamboo shoot, it is commonly known as "stalagmite", also known as "Tianzhu Peak". There is a small lake among the pine trees at the top. According to legend, when Emperor Xuanyuan was refining elixir here, a tripod collapsed it and turned it into a lake. It was called Ding Lake in ancient times. On the peak wall at the bottom, there are four characters "Dinghu Scenic Spot" inscribed during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty.

 

 

Dinghu Peak is endowed with charm and fairy feeling due to Emperor Xuanyuan's elixir making, and its tall image reaching into the sky is fascinating. People look at it at its feet, whether near or far, and they all admire it; When the mist surrounds it, it is as beautiful as a fairyland, which makes people marvel. Compared with other scenic spots, it is unique.

 

It was raining that day, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and the entire crossing was surrounded by rain. When you first arrive, I will give you a mud slope. Wearing raincoats or holding umbrellas, the team members carefully stepped on the slippery soil underneath and went down step by step. After going down a field path, we came to a house. This family's house is very big and consists of several houses. There is also a pig pen and a sheep pen next to the house. We walked along the mountain path on the side of the house, and from time to time, the sound of sheep bleating from the sheep pen could be heard behind us, which made people feel a sense of intimacy and made us look back from time to time.





The mountain trails are overgrown with weeds. Some of the grass is more than half a foot long, and some are as tall as half a person. As people walk here, the colors of different clothes move, exaggerating the atmosphere of the mountain and presenting a dynamic beauty. After passing the trail, you will reach the main road. We walked along the road, and from time to time we saw chestnut trees on the side of the road. The trees were covered with burr balls, full of fruits, and each one hung down heavily, almost to the ground. When people walk below, they can be picked at their fingertips. This is the fruit of working farmers, we cannot pick it. However, this fruit was so tempting that we couldn’t resist the temptation, so we went over to pick one to play with. In addition to chestnuts, there are also camellia fruits on the roadside. These camellias are not as conspicuous as the chestnuts, but one or two withered by the rain is a bit pitiful. Looking at them, we can't help but feel sympathy. Pick up the camera and record this withered scene.

 

The main road comes out, and another main road crosses across. Looking ahead, it was empty. Farmland, mountains, farmhouses, and mountains are all clearly visible. Go to the right along the cross-cutting road, then walk for a while and then take the road inside. At the end of the road is the foot of the mountain, where there are two roads. Yu Xiaoxiao, who was walking in front, walked forward alone with the navigation on her mobile phone. She looked at the two and said that she could go both ways. He walked along the straight road and we followed him. After a while, the people following behind shouted: "People in front, wait a minute, you're going the wrong way!" Feng Xiaoxiao said that he could go ahead, so he continued walking without paying attention to the people behind him. When Wei Shao Duxiu and others came over, they said they were taking the wrong route, entering from the left. Only then did we realize we were on the wrong track.






Enter the road on the right and walk about a few dozen steps to reach the bottom of a mountain. Walking up the plate is the stone mountain road. It was raining all the time and there were wet and slippery rocks everywhere, making it very slippery to go up the mountain. The traveler walking in front felt like there were nails growing under his feet. He walked so fast that after passing a few turns, no one could be seen. The heroines Lan Yun and Xiao Yu'er who were chasing after them tried their best to catch up. In order to catch up with the front, Xiao Yu'er was still shouting from behind: "Lan Yun, wait for me! You guys wait for me!" while the team members behind him shouted. They seemed to be walking more carefully. They held umbrellas and did not chase after them desperately. They just walked carefully looking at the slippery stones on the soles of their feet. The rain was not very heavy, just a drizzle. However, with such a drizzle, those travelers who did not hold an umbrella were soaked to the skin. If you are strong and fit, you can still bear it, but if you are delicate, you will tremble and yawn.

Mea, Yu Xiaoxiao and Qiu Qi, who were walking in front, had already arrived at the top of the mountain and were waiting there. Following closely behind, we also arrived, grabbing some snacks to eat and replenish our energy. Watching people coming up one after another from behind, when there were more people, we walked down the mountain. The way down is almost entirely through the jungle. The mountain road was covered with fallen leaves, and soaked by the rain, it made a squeaking sound when walking. One foot is deep and the other is shallow, which is extremely uncomfortable. The rain falling from the forest and the dew on the grass underneath had already soaked the shoes. Walking in such a wet rain forest, holding an umbrella was useless. Within a few minutes of walking, half of my body was already soaked. However, one advantage of walking in the rainforest is that it is cooler. It won’t be so boring to walk around.

I don't know which travel friend said to start running, so I started running and walking. Lan Yun caught up with me and patted me on the back shoulder. As soon as I saw someone catching up with me, I quickly ran forward. Meie, who caught up with Lan Yun from behind, also ran very fast. I was about to be overtaken, so I quickened my pace and rushed down as hard as I could. Unexpectedly, it didn’t take long before the scenic spot arrived. I saw cable cars going up to the top of the mountain. It took an hour to arrive at the scenic spot.

 

Everyone gathered together to discuss how to proceed. Some people said: "I want to go to the cable car mountain to see the scenery." Some said: "The fog is too heavy and there is not much to see on the mountain. It is better to walk in the scenic area below the mountain." Some said: "Find a place to eat first, and then Playing. "As they talked, they dispersed and played.

Entering the scenic spot, the first thing we saw was a stone tablet pavilion with many ancient inscriptions written on the back. We couldn't understand the meaning of the words, but we felt that it must be a very meaningful inscription, so everyone took pictures here. The front of the stele is engraved with the Yellow Emperor and the Empress, and the lower front is clearly engraved with the Jinyun People's Government and the People's Government of Yanting County, Sichuan, as well as the date of the stele's erection.

Walking inward from the Stone Tablet Pavilion is the more formal Taoist temple building. The main pillars, beams, doors and windows are red, the roof is green tiles, and the walls are alternately white. The buildings in the courtyard house all have attics. The architecture looks like the Taoist temples of the Ming Dynasty, which is quite satisfactory. It is said that this is the place where Huangdi practiced and kept quiet. The two old camphor trees on the left and right in front of the main hall are tied with many auspicious banners.

Walking out of Sihe Hall, there is an incense tripod placed in front of the hall directly in front. The incense on the tripod is about to be played with, and the incense has black heads. One by one, it forms countless pieces, praying to the passers-by. Incense cauldrons like this are placed in front of almost every hall and among the stairs. These incense cauldrons are used to worship heaven and pray for people. As for the placement and care of the incense cauldron, I can't say, and I haven't done any research. I have only seen it on TV. It is a prop used by Taoist priests to worship heaven and practice to ascend to heaven.

In the Taoist temple, the one with the most auspicious ribbons is the century-old osmanthus tree. It is full of flowers and the fragrance is overflowing. The branches were tied with banners, as many as flowers. These banners have blessings written on them. Blessing words such as "good luck and good luck", "response to all requests", "safe entry and exit", etc. Looking at so many auspicious banners, the osmanthus tree has undoubtedly become the most auspicious tree in this Taoist temple.

Going down the steps of the hall door, the rain became heavier and heavier, and it was a vast area.

Watching the smoke swirling around the mountain, appearing and disappearing, floating and uncertain, it presents a fairyland between heaven and earth. It’s so beautiful!

People are walking in the rain, shrouded in rain, looking at the vicissitudes of life on their backs, but they are walking calmly.

Dinghu Peak sometimes appears from the corner of the building and sometimes disappears from the main hall.

Only the stone lion on the staircase stands majestically and is clearly visible, unaffected by the fog, with its two eyes staring fiercely.

Maybe the stone lion is too ferocious and the mist is frightened?

Don't dare to offend it, and stay away from it when you see it.

When you come out of the Taoist temple and walk to the stone platform below, you can see the sculpture of a dragon riding in the mist in the middle of the stage. This dragon emerges from the sea, rides on the clouds, and spits fireballs, which makes people awe-inspiring. In front of the carved dragon is the "Dragon Play Pavilion". This pavilion is a place for tourists to rest, watch and feed fish. Many tourists gathered here to take shelter from the rain. A few bored tourists took out food and fed it to the fish. As soon as the food was thrown into the pool, it was immediately surrounded by a group of fish, three layers inside and three layers outside. In order to grab the food, these fish sucked it with their mouths desperately, so that some fish were squeezed out of the water and jumped high, which was very lively. The tourists on the pavilion were also happy to see it, and the tourists next to them were also attracted, smiling and taking pictures with their mobile phones.

The pool under the pavilion is quite large, as big as a standard swimming pool.

It is surrounded by willow trees, with a covered bridge passing due east, mountains to the south, and Dinghu Peak, the tall Tianjing Pillar, to the southeast.

When people cross the covered bridge, they can look up at the majestic Dinghu Peak. They are so close that they can clearly see the caves on the cliffs of Dinghu Peak.

These holes in Dinghu Peak are the result of uneven cooling due to volcanic eruptions.

Once upon a time, some people used these caves to climb up with their bare hands with the help of ropes.

Nowadays, many rock climbing enthusiasts climb up with bare hands with the help of equipment.

Climbing such a high Dinghu Peak is tense and exciting.

It’s risky to come down, but it’s also super cool.

Climbing such a high rock peak requires courage and courage. It is also a challenge to your limits and yourself.

Coming out to the foot of Dinghu Peak, there are streams, wide and deep, with stone bridges passing through them.

They nestle at the foot of Dinghu Peak, forming a beautiful landscape painting with the surrounding green trees.

Walking to the opposite side, a green scene appeared in front of you:

There are green trees, graceful trees, and paths winding through. You can see the entire green forest along the paths.

This piece of green gives people a refreshing and natural feel.

Breathing the fresh air of this green forest feels very comfortable.

Faintly walking out of the green forest and walking towards the stone bridge on the left, you can see the beautiful scenery again.

Here you can see the beautiful scenery of the entire Dinghu Peak.

I saw Dinghu Peak standing in the middle, with small stone peaks on both sides, surrounded by mist, and the stream below turned into a lake.

The lake has become a mirror, and the beautiful scenery above is reflected on it, becoming another waterscape painting. It is so beautiful!

We can go out along the road beside the stream.

However, we really couldn't bear to go out like this.

Because the streams and trees, the trees and the bridge in the distance match so well.

No matter how we take photos, it will always be a beautiful scenery.

When you come out of the entrance of the scenic spot, you see a stone standing outside the entrance, with the word "Xiandu" clearly engraved on it, which is very eye-catching. Continuing to walk out, there is a commercial street. You can buy various toys, fishing gear, food, and local specialties on the street.
