Travel notes | Qiniang Mountain in the clouds and mist

Now that the epidemic has stabilized, I see that various outdoor groups have begun to move around.

Our team also has activities on weekends, which is to climb Qiniang Mountain, which is the most beautiful mountain in Shenzhen! I have always wanted to take a look at Qiniang Mountain, and now I can do so.

There are 6 people in the team this time, and Mei Xing also joins this time. She has said before that I must be there for her first time. This time I can finally bring her with me to let her get to know other cute friends!

An interlude before climbing the mountain - teasing the sheep. We accidentally discovered the sheep when we were looking for a way. A group of sheep were grazing leisurely there. Lu Xi imitated the sheep's cry and wanted to call the sheep over. I thought the sheep were afraid of people, but they came running in twos and threes and surrounded us. Mei Xing kept talking about wanting to touch the horns of the sheep. I reminded her to be careful that sheep can get angry and attack people. To my surprise, they were all docile and obedient!

When we were about to leave, the sheep kept following us in a long queue, and they didn’t know that there was something on us that was attracting them. When we walked away, I looked back and saw that they were still walking towards us, and later they also I wonder how those sheep are doing...

We took the mountain road to go up the mountain, and only took the proper steps to go down the mountain. Every time I walk on some unconventional mountain roads, I am always curious about how these roads were taken and how they were discovered.

I always feel that we have been walking for a long time and still haven’t reached the foot of the mountain. Maybe it's going up the mountain. In short, just follow Lu Xi. There are no hiking routes in Shenzhen that he doesn't know.

I walked to a place and found longan and mango. I picked the longan and tasted it. The taste was not particularly sweet, but it was edible. Zhiqiang went directly to the tree and picked 6 green mangoes. They were green and unripe, so he didn’t eat them.

Before climbing, everyone had eaten and drank enough. After getting up and walking a few steps forward, a steep slope was right in front of them. These guys ran up it directly. They were really full and energetic. I followed closely, and Mei Xing tried hard to catch up. After she came up, she said: "I just played with the hiking poles, and when I looked up, no one was there." We stood on the platform and started our first story of the day. Joke show.

First Yang Qiang appeared: "Do you know why the sea is blue?" Then there was silence. Yang Qiang prompted: "What does the fish do in the water?" I said: "Swim." He then prompted: "Then what does it do when it swims?" "Blow bubbles?" He couldn't help but announce the answer: "It's cloth Lubulu, blue." Everyone suddenly became enlightened. There is also a guessing game about metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Anyway, my sixth sense is right every time, but I don’t know the reason.

After chatting, we started to get down to business about climbing. The weather was not very sunny today and there were already thick clouds in the sky. I originally wanted to see the domineering sea view of Qiniang Mountain when there was no clouds, but now I think it will be difficult.

As we went up, we met a few fellow travelers who were also hiking. It was rare to meet people who were hiking after walking for so long. Our two teams bumped into each other from time to time along the way.

The higher up the mountain, the more Mei Xing couldn't stand it, and it became harder to walk. During the break, she said she would leave first, and since she was walking slowly, I accompanied her. Fortunately, I still had some energy left, so I helped her carry her bag for a part of the way to make her walk easier. I asked her to walk according to her own heart rate, so that she would not be tired while walking. Sure enough, she felt much more comfortable later.

Keep moving forward , The clouds and fog get bigger and bigger, and you are directly in the clouds and fog in the second half, but it is not very moist, and you don’t know its existence except for blocking the line of sight. It is very soft, as if you are in a fairyland. . I remember two times when I climbed Wutong Mountain and encountered thick fog. After standing on it for a few minutes, I was already wet.

When we arrived at the summit platform No. 3, we could only see a few meters away. However, we were happy that because of the strong wind on the top of the mountain, the blue sky and the sun would appear from time to time. Through the gaps, we could also see the foot of the mountain. The scenery exceeded our expectations. . When Lu Xi saw the marshmallow-like clouds, she even screamed: "Look at the sky!". I understand his mood very well. Every time I see a scene that touches me, I am so excited that I can’t help myself. Those clouds are flawless and white, and they are divided into layers. They are particularly beautiful and healing against the blue sky. They are as beautiful as the sky in Hayao Miyazaki's movies. It was a worthwhile trip and I was not disappointed. We stayed there for a long time, silently waiting for the wind to blow the clouds and mist, and peek into the beautiful scenery below the mountain.

Mei Xing pushed me and said, "Look, is that the security guard? He's trying to drive us away." I glanced at him and said, "It doesn't look like it." I just made the conclusion. Someone immediately said: "It's almost time, come down the mountain quickly." They were really security guards. They asked everyone to go down the mountain at 14 o'clock. This is their job. I wanted to stay a little longer, but it seems we arrived late today.

We went down the mountain from the scientific expedition route and passed the No. 3 summit platform. We saw many climbers. It turned out that everyone was walking on the steps. I asked why I saw so few people along the way. If I came alone, I would Also take this route because it is safe.

But safety is safety, but the steps are very high, and bending the knees is very tiring and hurts the knees. Even the security guard felt that the steps were unreasonable and complained a lot. The mountain road is still easy to walk, but the route is easy to get up and down, so Lu Xi's arrangement is good. When it comes to the descent, you will never see their shadows. There is no need to think that they must be running down the 2.6 kilometers of descent. Mei Xing's legs were shaking all the time, and she couldn't use any energy, so she walked hard behind. Fortunately, she borrowed Zhi Qiang's hiking pole, which gave her some relief. I walked slowly down with her. I walked for a while, then sat and waited for her for a while, and that's how we came down. This scene is exactly the same as when I was walking all the way to Wugong Mountain. Meixing now is me at that time, and I am King before. Fortunately, Mei Xing’s legs didn’t hurt, but her feet were shaking as she walked down the mountain. We used the paths around the steps to go down to reduce the impact on our knees. It seems that other outdoor experts don't like walking on the steps, so they specially opened these paths.

We looked at the road signs of 800 meters, 600 meters, and 400 meters, and counted down. When we reached 200 meters, I called Mei Xing: "The end is almost here, just in front." When we reached the trailhead, others were already waiting. We're over half an hour in.

After a day of hiking, I thought it was over. Unexpectedly, on the way back in the car, Yang Qiang suddenly called me, and I looked for help. He said, "Yinghua, do you want to watch the sunset?" I said, "Okay." A few of us immediately got out of the car.

We walked along the coast, and there happened to be a few sea-view hotels nearby, so there were a lot of people doing activities here, including fishing, swimming, and walking, and it was a lively scene.

A sunset by the sea ended today’s activities! Returned satisfied.
