Tiantangzhai elevation of 1,729 meters, is located in Hubei Province north of Luotian County, its north Jinzhai County, Anhui Province, southeast Hubei Yingshan then, belong to the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains peak, known as the first peak of the reputation of the Central Plains. Mountain Ticheng northwest - southeast direction, relative altitude northeast of large multi-ridge elevation of 1,200 meters to 1,600 meters, steep slope flow of acute barrier overlapping peaks and ridges, cliffs Chihiro, ravines deep.
In mid-July 1996, I have come alone to the foot Tiantangzhai. During this period, heavy rain continued throughout the Yangtze River. Mountain people told me that climbers do not see a good view of the rainy season can be for me to reach the summit first, the second view.
On the 18th morning, I walked along the mountain began to move toward Tiantangzhai, the sky dark, thick fog, dew towering peaks difficult. Walked a way up the final mountain, called zhulin place of residence, they entered the mountain forest trail, my left side is a large streams, water hitting the river issued a roaring sound in the rock, mountain is very narrow, dark forest . I walk very slow, walking in, and occasionally long-tailed squirrels in the forest you can see the shuttle, I have been retrograde along the river and on the streams from the two mountains falling, pick up trash while on the terrain began to become increasingly high.
Go deep in to a waterfall ago, called the face Joe Rock Falls, falls from a few hundred meters how high the mountain was pouring down off the stack, roaring sounds, it is spectacular.
Along the way, you can see the visitors discarded cans, plastic bottles of mineral water, instant noodles and some plastic on behalf of the white trash can not easily be corrupted waste. Although this phenomenon is widespread, but at the moment made me want to get a lot. It can be said that this has become a public nuisance, for some people is not without environmental awareness, but often a lack of self-regulating. Is a kind of "teachers and the teachers are not a kind of" conscious behavior. Just think, if the inaccessible mountains and mountain flying plastic bags, cans everywhere, then will be how the human mind "desolation" of the suffering.
At this time, the world has played a heavy rain, playing brawl on the branches creaked, and quickly penetrate the forest into the ground, pretty soon, they flow together into a few shares of cis-mountain down. I took out a backpack raincoat to wear, items posted to the monastery as soon as possible. Dense forests, can not see the sky, have not heard of birds. Rain non-stop underground, his legs have been feeling heavy, rain-soaked clothes were sweat, as if the Peak no end.
Over time, I finally boarded a peak, although the rain stopped, but the visibility was very low. Dark clouds shrouded the mountains, mist hazy, 10 meters away can not see objects, I opened a compass, it would be level on the Luotian County map, compass directions, north facing the map, then move forward, and accurately to heaven to find the top position. Now, I am the east is a ridge along the mountain ridge to the north-east direction has always been, you can board the top of heaven.
I have a short break, she began to walk east, the mountain wind, fog Pumian, winds along the ridge line, when the last nowadays, constantly crossing the rocks, every step is very difficult, from time to time to determine what position to use a compass about walking more than two hours, still not seen the peak. An urgent summit with the feelings of fatigue, I have a bit anxious, so go on, I do not know when before they can climb the peak, and there is no point of reference for road signs, let alone see the true colors of the surrounding peaks. I was like riding a cloud in the Temple in the foot Wuban walk, seem to have some sense of transcendent ecstasy.
And went a mountain top have not yet boarded the paradise. Then I wonder if the wrong path. I have noticed from maps, found himself guilty of a common-sense errors, Tiantangzhai across the junction of the two provinces in the three counties, I entered from the Hubei Luotian County, but here is the Tiantangzhai forest, from the map point of view, Forest Farm looks very close to the junction from the Anhui Province, in fact very far, I have thought, when climbing, resulting in a paradise, I always feel psychologically close to the top, this is paradise, I think that the old have come to the stage the reasons for the top . In fact, I go the direction is right, but Forest are still far away from the top of heaven.
Tiantangzhai formerly known as Sunny Hill, according to "Luotian County," Hutchison planting: "As Hill Executive Chong Long, sunny day while flying, clouds are also continuous." Hence the name Sunny Mountain. Tiantangzhai altitude elevation difference large, naturally formed "a Village to see the four seasons, winter and spring mountain points," scenery. Early winter snow does not melt until spring the following year, sunny day trip, cottage makeup of peak silver trees, flying like Yulong; the foot of the mountain is the new green Shen Nong, mountain flowers particles diffuse, a Spring.
Walk, I can vaguely see the highway in the bushes in full bloom were ulterior motives in a golden yellow, came closer, is Wangyou Cao. Unexpectedly, this normally seen in the farmhouse vegetable garden flowers, full of competing in this wilderness bush, quite novel. Think that this little yellow flower, since the open since the fall, and no one shows, can not help but make me realized Yu Chunshun said: "Life is experience, not performance." The true meaning of this sentence. Climbing, there is no audience, no applause, lie entirely in his own act with his life and to experience, and to be able to endure loneliness, Yu Chunshun not only on the kind of said, is to do so is ultimately his own life to stay in the desert in the world . Think of this, admiration arises spontaneously.
Approximately half an hour to walk again, more and more steep mountain road, foot of rubble, struggling upward, hearts pray earlier ascent. The wind increases, rolling clouds in the sky, when the wind clouds in the sky will be ripped a hole in, I can vaguely see the mountains not far from a show in front of heart, excited that the upcoming summit of the joy of perfusion the body, a tired also with the clouds away. Over time, the road becomes my feet flat open, there have been several line of sight of the old uninhabited house, according to mountain top that heaven presence of troops, has long been removed. I am confident that we have reached the peak, then Panasonic's shoulder bag, looking at the immediate scene, Yamashita chaos cloud Fei Du, a vast expanse of whiteness, the sky, the clouds roll. The joy of reaching the top without words to the table, I would walk back and forth at the Peak, walked down the mountain overlooking the edge of one moment to have gone to the other side take a look at the front of greed enjoy all these circumstances, in the city Lane can not taste, and modern reinforced concrete construction over many years shuttling "forest", the great majority of them rarely come into contact with the real nature, has a clean sky. I think that only human beings in harmony with nature and have a broader, pure sky.
The way back to Wuhan, my heart kept calling: Xiazuo Hill Where?
