Since participating in outdoor activities, the Sanshui Line route has often been mentioned by them. It is said that Sanshui Line is an entry-level outdoor route. Many intense outdoor activities require Sanshui Line graduation level, and the requirement is to complete it within eight hours. To be honest, I have no desire to go there, and I don’t need to prove my physical fitness. The main reason is that the scenery is not attractive, so I didn’t put it on the list. I participated this time mainly because I wanted to see how difficult this line is, and I went there purely out of curiosity.
I have never learned about the Sanshui Line. It wasn’t until that day that I found out that there were 33 three-headed lines. Let’s take a look at its self-introduction:
The names of the places along the Sanshui Line are very special, and the names along the way are quite interesting: Sanzhanbi, Huoshaotian, Tutu Temple, Golden Turtle Village, Shuizukeng, which covers gold, wood, water, fire and earth, so some people also call it the "Five Elements Line" , also referred to as the Sanshui Line. Bijia Mountain has an altitude of 717 meters, and Tianxin Mountain has an altitude of 684 meters, ranking fourth and sixth respectively in Shenzhen.

On this trip, Liang Zhichao joined the team. He is Yang Qiang’s roommate and a strong athlete.
When we arrived at our destination, we were first fascinated by the scenery below. We took photos and played until 10:30 before starting to climb the mountain. We felt that we missed the climbing time, and the time later became tight.
The view before climbing the mountain
We had to pass through a water channel underpass under the highway before we could go all the way up.
The three-stroke pen at the top of the first hill is the most difficult, but it is still acceptable to me, and my breathing is steady throughout the whole process. From time to time I look down at Xiaogui Daya Bay below.
When we reached the top of the mountain, we started walking on ridges of various sizes. What we saw along the way were the partners of the outdoor team from Buzou Village. It seems that this route has always been very popular, and people should come to cross the mountains every weekend.
After traveling all the way, we arrived at Big Beacon Mountain at noon. Someone saw us and said, "You're not walking the whole distance, are you?" We replied, "No, we're walking the whole distance." He said in surprise, "You're still here at this point, I guess you won't be able to finish the whole journey!" Lu Xi responded He said: "We will go slower when going uphill, but we will start running when going downhill." So after a few minutes of organizing, drinking some water and eating some dry food, we continued to set off.
There was a downhill all the way behind. We really ran all the way down, but Zhichao didn't keep up. He probably couldn't go downhill fast, and I wasn't any better. After I started running downhill, my knees started to feel slightly. Feeling of discomfort. Sure enough, the knee is still not fully healed, which is really frustrating. I want to catch up with Yang Qiang and borrow his knee pads to carry him, otherwise I won’t be able to walk the rest of the way.
I finally caught up with them and immediately put on my knee pads, not sure if they would be effective. After the four of us arrived, we started moving forward again. All the way up and down, walking on the ridge, I don't know where I am on the top of the mountain. Lu Xi put it down and said: "We will arrive at the Earth Temple at 11:30." Therefore, we didn't take much rest. My feet had begun to hurt badly. I relied on trekking poles to hold them up. When going downhill, I jumped around to relieve the pain in my left leg. burden. The sun ☀️ is not too strong today, and the difficulty has been reduced a lot. In short, I feel pretty good. It is not as difficult as I imagined. It’s just that my legs are a little out of shape, which prevents me from showing my strength.
Lu Xi and Yang Qiang had been waiting for us at Tutu Temple for a long time, and the three of us arrived at 11:40. There were many people resting in the Tutu Temple. We sat there for a long time. It was considered a place where we took a long rest and repaired. Tutu Temple is a descent point, and then the three of us listened to Lu Xi and Yang Qiang talking about their previous experiences. After chatting, we continued to set off. The road ahead was a bit far apart. I was in the middle, and Zhichao and Yandan were behind me. I limped along without slowing down. The only way to go is to go up and down.
When we arrived at the Despair Slope, which is not a place of despair, it was already 17 o'clock and the sun was almost setting. The three of us gathered together and sat down to rest for a while. Unexpectedly, Lu Xi and Yang Qiang were among the others and we didn't notice. The five of us gathered together again, and Yang Qiang peeled off the grapefruit he brought as a reward for us. Lu Xi kept urging us to leave quickly, otherwise we wouldn’t have finished our walk when it got dark.
Everyone got up and set off. After a while, they were thrown down a hill. I ran hard, hoping to finish the walk quickly. It was dark and I couldn’t see the road. No one had a headlight. We walked several ridges in a row, and we could still see the road clearly from the top. But when we started to go down, we were walking through the jungle, and I felt a little lost. The three boys were waiting for Yandan and me in the jungle. Because it was getting dark, the five of us walked together.
The sun ☀️ has completely set, and the moon 🌙 shows its beauty. The moon 🌙 is right on the top of the mountain in front. It may be hazy due to clouds and fog. I am just walking in the mountains at this time, so I feel like I am back to nature. We also found a lot of fireflies along the way. We were quite surprised. We haven’t seen them for many years and we didn’t expect to see so many here. The camera of the mobile phone 📱 can no longer capture the picture, so I can only feel it.
We arrived at the road sign and saw that it said there were still five kilometers to Shui Zu Hang. We all couldn't believe it, there were still five kilometers. We just saw it was said to be 1.5 kilometers. But no matter what, we have to keep moving forward. They turned on their mobile phones and flashlights and it felt like we were going downhill non-stop. My knees could no longer bend and I had to rely on my right leg to move.
Near the end🏁, we also met two people walking on the Sanshui route. I thought it was just the five of us traveling at night. Later we passed them and continued to move forward. It wasn't until 20 o'clock that we walked out and reached the roadside. I originally planned to have a big meal tonight, but it turns out it’s a bit late now, so we’ll go back to our respective homes.
It was another pleasant outdoor activity. I really enjoyed going out with them. This combination is great!
