[Travel Notes] Two-day hiking tour of Wugong Mountain

【 Summary】

1. The beauty is really beautiful, the difficulty is really difficult, and the tiredness is really tiring, even more tiring than working overtime.

2. I drank the best Coke ever on the mountain.

3. The whole journey takes 2 days, 8 hours a day, and a total of 27 kilometers of hiking.

4. You must bring hiking poles, preferably 2; you must bring knee pads; you must wear hiking shoes and apply sunscreen; beginners must bring a companion.

5. My toes hurt the most when I go down the mountain.

First of all, I would like to thank Baba Outdoor for letting me sign up for the Wugong Mountain group tour that I have been dreaming about. I signed up a few weeks in advance and almost failed to recruit a companion. Fortunately, the Master helped me and I finally completed the entire journey.

[Friday night Hangzhou South-Pingxiang]

Hard sleeper, arriving at 7am. A car full of people going to Wugong Mountain.

By the way, let me tell you a joke. When I was waiting for the bus on Friday night, there was not a single DingTalk message on Dashi’s phone, but I was 99+.

(Warning for multiple pictures without filter)

first day

[Get off at 7am on Saturday]

This battle, this posture, this equipment... they are all for Wugong Mountain.

I took a stroll at the snack bar next to the station. They had very cute snacks.

Take the organized bus to Longshan Village at 7:30 and arrive at Longshan Village at about 9:30.

[Hiking starting point: Longshan Village]

The first section was different from what I expected. Although it didn’t rain, the road was still wet, with mud, rocks, and water. The road was too wild~

[Arrived around 11 o’clock: Sheep Point]

Eat dry food and drink water. It takes a lot of energy to go up the mountain. You can't see the top of the mountain, so you can only keep climbing. It's exhausting. Fortunately, you have trekking poles.

Master Da Shi carried 3 kilograms of mineral water. I have to give you a thumbs up. You are the hope of the whole village.

After resting and reorganizing, we continued to climb the mountain. The next step was relatively gentle. After passing through the woods, we finally saw the blue sky and white clouds. Everyone started to say "Emma smells so good".

 

The path looks unremarkable, but in fact it is a downhill slope that requires a lot of effort. Especially when going downhill, my toes gradually begin to feel uncomfortable.

I feel sorry for myself, I feel sorry for the donkey

[Walk to the first inn]

We thought we were not far from our destination "Gaolaozhuang" Inn in about half an hour, so we rested for a long time. Then on the way out, we were told that we still had three hours to walk to Gao Laozhuang, and some passers-by said that we might not be able to make it before dark... Our team of 3 people was worried at the time, but what could we do, we could only keep walking. You can't go back either.

Next, I was numb by the beautiful scenery along the way. I just felt that I couldn't walk. My legs hurt, my knees hurt, and my feet hurt. I walked step by step with a hiking pole, climbing over one mountain, and then another mountain...

 

I admire these people carrying big bags

On the way, we encountered several sections of very steep cliff roads, and we often lost sight of the end. I felt dizzy when I looked at the cliff on the left. I was afraid that I would lose my mind and fall. Fortunately, the master held me over with a trekking pole. Daddy was scared to death.

We walked to another inn and finally saw the sign: "Gaolaozhuang, there are about 2 hours left." Us: , nothing but despair remains. Along the way, I thought that there might be no chance of climbing the Golden Summit tomorrow.

Then we climbed about 4 or 5 more hills, and finally we could see the blue house in Gao Laozhuang. At this time, I am no longer afraid of going up the mountain, but I am afraid of the pain of going down the mountain.

Finally, we climbed over a large mountain. The road near the top of the mountain was full of stones. It was basically not a road. The stones would still roll. The hillside was quite steep. I was afraid of heights and didn’t dare to look back. I had to bite the bullet. Rush upward. Following everyone, I went up inexplicably, and many friends lamented that they didn’t know how to get up there.

[Arrived at Gaolaozhuang, sleeping destination at 17:30]

It was a full 2-3 hours later than planned, but later I learned that the large group also arrived at around 4 o'clock, which made me feel better. There were only 7 people left behind us . The conditions of the inn are really simple, with 6 people in a room and bunk beds. It's not easy to transport things to the inn in this place that doesn't touch the ground. It's nice to have a hot shower.

【Watch the sunset at 18:50】

Taking group photos and watching the sunset, the weather was very cold, and a single-layer jacket was a bit unbearable.

【Eat at 19:30】

Waiting in line for food, 10 people gathered together to order 9 dishes and 1 soup. Everyone was eager to be fed and devoured it. Everyone still enjoyed the simple meals, and they were all starving.

[K-song on the mountain after dinner]

The wind was blowing, and the five people sang on the top of the mountain. They unlocked a new way to travel, and the leader's microphone was well received.

【Sleep after 22 o'clock】

Just like catching the train, I fell asleep before 11 o'clock. Unexpectedly, the harder the environment, the earlier I can go to bed. (Mainly because there is no signal)

the next day

[Woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning]

In the wooden inn, there are sounds and movements outside the rooms passing by. I squinted until I got up at 4:30, saw the beautiful morning glow, and queued up for breakfast. Breakfast was a big bowl of soulless noodles. The only consolation was that there was an egg for each person on our table.

[Start out with backpack at 5:10 to watch the sunrise]

Still beautiful.

 

【Continue climbing】

My legs feel much better after a night's rest, and I can actually still crawl. Because I wore two pairs of socks, my toes didn’t hurt so much when I went down the mountain.

【Haohan Slope】

【Despair Slope】

Although there is also a slope of despair in my alma mater, this one is really despairing. It is steep, long and dangerous, and you have to use your hands and feet to "rock climb" without protection. There are also several sections where you can only grab the railing to pull yourself up because the slope is too steep... The most difficult mountain to climb in my life, "I came out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, why do I have to fight so hard"

[The best cola in history]

It's only 15 yuan a bottle. It's really delicious. After climbing the mountain and you're exhausted, you can take a sip of ice-cold Coke. It's worth it.

[Meeting a 78-year-old man climbing a mountain on the road]

On the way we said we were too tired and didn’t want to climb the Golden Summit. The uncle said, “How can I not climb the Golden Summit when I come to Wugong Mountain? I’m 78 and I can’t even climb...”

We: It’s over, it’s over. The moral kidnapping is over. If you still have time to get to the horse-drawing pile, just climb it.

[Passing by the tent camp]

[Arrived at the horse-drawing pile at 9:30]

It turned out to be 1-2 hours ahead of schedule? ? It seems that we have to climb the Golden Summit. There are stone steps in the scenic area, which are easier to climb than the previous road. But we were tired, so we climbed 100 steps, took a short rest, and then climbed 100 steps again. Facts have proved that this strategy is still very good.

(The one on the top is the golden dome)

【Arrived at the Golden Summit at 11 o'clock! 】

A glorious moment! Too strong, too strong! Ahhhh, I almost moved myself to tears hahahaha~

Thank you Master for your perseverance

[Return to the hanging horse pile at 11:40]

After stumbling and stumbling, I finally returned to the hanging horse pile and joined the large army. On the way down the mountain, someone asked me how long it would take. We said about half an hour. A fat guy who was climbing up the mountain next to me said, "You can climb it in half an hour." I said, "We have already gone up and down." Brother, I don’t know if my face hurts in the back.

The team leader said we couldn’t take the ropeway because there were too many people and we couldn’t catch up, so we had to walk down the mountain. I thought that returning to the horse-drawing post would successfully complete the mission of the Wugong Mountain group. When I heard the bad news, I burst into tears. Someone come and save my leg...

[Abandon the ropeway and hike down the mountain]

When we walked to the ropeway, we heard that the queue for the ropeway was 2 hours long. The leader said that there was only one and a half hours left to hike, so we hesitated for a while and followed the leader to decide whether my legs would hurt for a day or a week. What a sin .

In order to prevent knee pain, you cannot straighten your legs when going down the mountain, so you can only run quickly up and down. The decision was quite easy at the beginning. I could jump for a long time at once, but later my legs gradually became less important. In the words of the master, "I walk in a semicircle when walking on a flat road."

[The last half hour of going down the mountain, purgatory on earth]

I gradually started to fall behind, useless, useless, useless...

[Arrive at the hotel at 14:00 and meet the large group]

It seems to be in the top 20, which is a good result. It's better than yesterday, and it's hard work.

Finally, we had a good lunch. After a short rest, we packed up and took the bus to the station to take the high-speed train back to Hangzhou.

My legs hurt for 5 days after I returned home. I couldn't walk normally for the first two days and my neck was sunburned...

The Wugong Mountain group challenged their own limits. From waste snow to accumulated snow to waste snow to strong snow, they accomplished something that they didn’t even believe in. They were so confident, haha.
