Mount Emei is no need for me to spend more words to described.
Who started this morning, around 9 o'clock, to the new South Gate bus station in Chengdu (Chengdu tourist passenger center), take to the Emei city car, about 3 hours to reach Emei.
To the foot of Mount Emei Mountain baoguosi need to ride a car, a car free shuttle. The staff of the car told us that many people during the Spring Festival, accommodation difficulties, the mountains live in expensive, private hotels are torn down, and only star, Mid-levels is not easy to find live, climbing is also very tired, to walk 50 km, I send you to a place away from the baoguosi stay close to the package you are satisfied with a car will give you the mountains tomorrow morning, 4:00 am more than calling you up the hill to watch the sunrise.
This is the second time I have come to Mount Emei, know their purpose so that you live down the fact that unlike, as they say, of course, they would not forcibly make you stay, this they do not dare, Emei City, have something to say: Who To hit on the side who Emei brand of rice bowls. What can I do while playing 12315, tourist areas in many places have such a prompt card. We are here to climbing the mountain in preparation for the next day Padaoshanding, it has been delegated to residential areas, we turned left off, did not see the room. 10 minutes walk to the newspaper Temple, and the passenger service center to purchase the latest tourist map, they sell the car the two dollars the map is old, do not buy.
From baoguosi a total of 59.5 kilometers on foot to the Golden Summit, there are two main section and is estimated at about 10 kilometers down the mountain, the other are the mountains, very steep hill. Golden Summit 3077 meters above sea level, famous five mountains in his next, the more run uphill climb the more difficult, the more physically impossible. So the first day to be as much as possible to go some. Qingyin Ge, Hong Chunping, Xian-feng Temple, met Sin Temple, Xixiang Chi, Golden Summit can stay. Morning, starting late, we have to climb as quickly as possible, so do not eat at the foot of the mountain, only ate a bowl of noodles at the roadside, Emei Mountain snow konjac is very unique, this no time to eat. Baoguosi, Fu Husi also no go, these two large local crowd, strong incense, tickets need to buy separately, it seems that a few dollars.
From Fu Husi to Qingyin Ge is not a clear road in front of a little stone path, easily taking the wrong path, please note that signs and take the road. Our last (4 years ago) the morning of day dawn on the mountain, take a number of costly mistakes. Chun-yang has been down to bring up the rear, a large section of highway, then to the Qing Yinge. Qingyin Ge can be said that the center of Mount Emei scenic spots, near the thin strip of sky, Heilongjiang Plank Road, ecological monkey area, or picturesque or the other there is funny, Emei Shi Jing's "Shuangqiao voiceless" Just Qingyin Ge. We are about 12:30 baoguosi starting from the mountain climbing had reached Qingyin Ge 2:00, about 5 km per hour speed. We did not do more to stay and continue their progress.
Monkeys in a nature area is safe to play the monkey, there are many monkeys show a green vests, Safety Officer. But the monkey had to be careful near the road, there are groups of monkeys playing on the roadside on the road, there is nursing staff, he told us that their own path is, regardless of them, they will not follow you eat, and we tremble with fear to see the road, look steadily forward, turned a blind eye to walk them. Continue to walk, run into two monkeys, they fancy in our hands holding mineral water, on the rob, perhaps because of mineral water on the label is red, say red monkey can not see what the mountains do not necessarily wear a red dress , back red packets. We only have mineral water left to walk quickly, but also met a few, and only give them to eat biscuits, and each monkey had to give, each had to give, really Mozhe fear of them. Take a length of road, there are two, regardless, and start a face, grabbed a fist, and threaten them, and effective, they go back, we'll leave that they catch up, and then scared, so several times, finally Zoutuo. Do not really play them, you have to beat, especially when the number of for a long time, of course, do want to protect animals. Later on the road met a fellow told me that his own eyes he saw a girl with monkeys against, the results are monkeys scratch his face, and cried his nose.
To Hong Chunping is at 4 pm before, reckoned if stay there, then tomorrow, have to walk more than 40 kilometers, or not go, they still continue to walk, there are 15 km to the next, harder, but the would like to be able to arrive before dark. Chiang Kai-shek had Hong Chunping summer, lived in a lot of time, this place is that now seems to have several very old two-story wooden structures. We move on, the more going up, the less people on the road, and mountain stillness, the sky will be dark, lonely road travelers. Approaching 99 Shui Po, before he had his four locals like family, and my heart suddenly seemed to warm up, and thus walk together, and finally arrived in the dark before the Temple of Xian Feng, the time is about 6:30, and we live together next. Local travel Emei, always save money, and a four humans, they gave Kandao 50, they also told me that they are into the mountain, walking paths, no tickets, even to buy, but also as long as 10 yuan. Of course, the mountains of accommodation is not expensive, there are 20 yuan in the golden dome of one person. Having another dinner companion, but also in Chengdu, the next day to join us in climbing. The price of the mountain dishes under a unified, clearly displayed prices, only slightly more expensive than the foot of the mountain.
Xian-feng Temple monks lived in at night to do night courses, like students should study up. Locals told me that these monks are literate, and at least a secondary bar, like Fu Husi nuns inside, or at least are diploma, and they have a Buddhist college, and university. First heard the rhythmic drums, then bell, the sound coming out from the Main Hall where, I am curious, want to see do not want to bother them, they carefully to the door, and then look inside to see from the side, which dimly lit, only one monk knelt on the futon, the relying on a large bell, left hand through his chest, playing the Buddha's gesture, his right hand holding a bell wooden club, knocking a while bell began to chant and sing a few words about the knock bell, sing a while a while on the clock struck again, in the case back and forth, rich in rhythm. He was not in the chanting, but chant the Foqu, sound, there is low power, in this quiet mountain forests, from this humble temple came the sound of the bell as if the days song outside the sound, Shashi nicely. In particular, he sang what I did great to listen to clear, only to understand some phrases: "Three Realms", "The People's Republic of China", "Sakyamuni," "compassionate" and so on. I then stood in the doorway, watching, listening, feeling I have with him is between the two worlds, separated by a threshold, tomorrow I will leave the cold quiet place, will return to that bustling city, will be front of the computer pounding these words, but he would still be here, every day with the morning class, recitation and evening classes ... ... the cultivation of life, Huang Qing Deng volumes, we will never feel that they can only be outside the threshold of survival and life However, they are always there for several thousand years, science and more and more developed, the temples also have lights, television, telephone, and perhaps these are just the needs of tourists, but they are not needed, but perhaps we should also be general able to understand their existence, just as the overall understanding of our world, there are prostitutes, drug addicts, AIDS patients, Strangelove, the world police.
Xian-feng Temple elevation is not too high, covered with two blankets to sleep at night, not cold. 8:30 am or so, eat something, we are launching the. Meandering 99 Shui Yesterday, we had come about, and then further on the road are fairly good to go, are obtained neatly paved stone mountain. Emei said the show, show, in its bones show in their God, Emei's vigorous and beautiful is that only along this mountain were born, before they become keenly aware of. Next morning, with light rain, some fog shrouded mountains, the mountain appears to do the show there will be even more charm. Road at the foot of King in mind, we hurriedly hurry, physical strength has been not as good as yesterday, on the left leg began to hurt themselves, feet touch the ground every step of what will be hurt, both upstream and downstream so that only the flat roads, but no problem, probably older in , but also lack of exercise, previously no problem. Stopped to rest, relax, and continue to walk is still the same, it is impossible to stop, and only endured continue to walk, so also do not stand the pain long, think of a Buddhist phrase, "color does not vary empty, empty non-heterochromatic," I began to edge walking meditation side and turned his attention fully transferred, and thus climbed to a nine collar Kong, receive posts from 9 to Lei Dongping a good one better, many of which are downhill, Xixiang Chi over the road, there usually snow-covered, need to increase wear straw sandals or crampons to walk to safety. Tired, and crutches are also indispensable help tools, sold everywhere, in the foot of the mountain around 3 yuan to buy in general.
Food and drink along the way selling point Tingduo, but more expensive, it is recommended to bring their own appropriate, climbing will be sweating, it is necessary to add more water. Climbing is nothing cold, do not need to wear extra clothes, to the summit did not feel cold, so we spend with no clothes, Lei Dongping have rented coat, to climb those who do not, I think, and the other thermal underwear may not perspire more, it is best not to wear. In Xixiang Chi us pause to rest, something to eat. I am a bit thanks to the Buddha, when in addition no other feeling tired, does not think much of piety, a prayer, worship two or three prayer, felt forces flowing from the body, perhaps it is given to the plight of the Buddha after Gan I am not a Buddhist devotees. A great way to fog, coat a little wet, underwear are sweat, only the middle of the sweater is dry. Sub-zero air temperature probably sit down when one is coming out hot, ate cold bread is hot like a. Not dare to sit for a long time, something to eat, continue to walk.
Lei Dongping from baoguosi to a car, a ropeway from the Jie Yindian to the golden dome. We must own to climb all the way to go, and then sit down. Jie Yindian up, many are very steep section, but were all snow-covered road, need to hand clutching a roadside railing ahead. The higher the altitude, the more difficulty breathing, and feel more and more lift is not moving legs. Along the way, the roadside cedar branches are Joan jade leaves, Graceful, and sometimes to hear the voice of the snow fall from the trees. We have no intention more than enjoy the scenery, only bent on climbing the peak, spent more than two hours, it took us this last 6 km, and finally 4 points off Gordon to the golden dome.
Posted to the summit on foot after the feeling is by no means can feel the car to the summit of. I remember when the last years, but also the way to climb up to, Qantas Peak, the sun came out, warm and real shining roadside trees, golden, and branches still remnants of the snow does not melt, feeling everything's very beautiful , then it is my "Gloden Summit".
Peak scenery charming, but now hazy fog, visibility is low, the sun hiding in layers of fog and clouds, the only see it when I see a vague figure, the peak of the snow had melted everywhere, very dry. Locals said that the morning is also difficult to see the sunrise, we do not want to spend a night at the Peak, and bought a little souvenir in the "Golden Summit" the monument before the photographed images, by 5 o'clock that we were on the ropeway down the mountain to go home.
