I also saw some of the mountain scenery pictures in my circle of friends.
To be honest, I gave it a thumbs up at first.
Then I realized something was wrong, so why did everyone seem to have made a pre-arranged agreement and reposted it like crazy? Some people say it is a "treasure land", and some people say it is "rare." I stared at the screen intently for a long time. It was clearly mountains, pine trees, and fog... although it was indeed quite beautiful.
Until I saw a corner of white snow exposed in the corner of a picture.
There was a small point of white showing there, and suddenly, my heart seemed to be lightly scratched by something. Can you understand that feeling? It's like the feeling when you were a kid and accidentally noticed that there was the last mung bean popsicle hidden in the refrigerator.
Then someone came out to claim it: This is Huangshan Mountain.
The name of Huangshan, which is extremely famous, is so well-known that it is as well-known as the name of the neighbor's house called Ergouzi. It has never been felt that there is a need to learn more about it. Yishan was its previous name, but it was changed by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. This change occurred only because of the legend related to the Yellow Emperor's alchemy. The 800-year-old Yingke pine stretches its branches like a human arm at Yuping Peak. I wonder if it will feel tired if it keeps stretching like this.
However, this information presented in the style of Baidu Encyclopedia suddenly seemed extremely inferior compared to the few photos in the circle of friends.
I'm thinking about what those people who left comments below saying they "want to go" really want to see. Is it to watch the flying stone, or to climb the top of Tiandu Mountain?
What exactly is Huangshan?
It is a place with a forest coverage rate of 84.7%.
It is the place that made Xu Xiake say, "There is no mountain in the world if you climb Mount Huangshan".
It's also the place where online guides are full of "lightning protection" and "lessons of blood and tears".
To be honest, it's quite fragmented.
On one side, there is the sea of clouds, winter snow and rime that exist like a fairyland. They have been certified three times by UNESCO as a World Cultural and Natural Heritage, a World Geopark, and a World Biosphere Reserve, thus becoming the only "Triple Crown" in China. On the other side, there are "pit avoidance guides" everywhere on the Internet. They will tell you that the standard room at the top of the mountain is 1,770, and the toilets are crowded with overnight tourists.
One thousand seventeen may really be a month's living expenses for some people.
Why do we have to huddle in the toilet and wait for dawn?
Just to post on Moments the next day?
This sentence is a bit bitter, but I am also asking myself questions. Those pictures in the circle of friends, don’t they count as some kind of “exquisitely packaged” days? We have removed all the embarrassment, congestion, and expenses that have been spent, leaving only the turquoise, stone, clouds and snow, and a few words describing the peace and beauty of the years.
But then I thought about it, it wasn't all vanity.
Modern people are under tremendous pressure. This pressure is so great that they have to rush to the top of a peak with an altitude of 1,864 meters to relax. The pressure was so great that he would rather squat in the toilet for a long time, but he still wanted to take a look at the light on the top of the sunrise at sunrise.
The third highest peak in East China is Lotus Peak. It is said that standing on the top of Lotus Peak, you can look east to the Celestial Eye and west to Kuanglu. At that time, there was no signal on the mobile phone. Will the mountain wind blow away so many clues about KPIs, mortgages and interpersonal relationships?
The mountain is still the same mountain, and the people watching the mountain change one after another.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there existed a group of literati who carried out activities related to the "Tiandu Society" here, and performed "composing poems on wine" above the sea of clouds. They carved words on the cliffs and sketched in paintings. Mei Qing, Shi Tao, and Jianjiang all depicted the same mountain, but what appeared in the paintings were all themselves.
What about us at this moment? Some carry long guns and short cannons, and some may only have a mobile phone, looking for the "best camera position." I went to get a spot at four o'clock in the morning just to take a picture of "monkeys watching the sea". That stone has been looking at the sea for millions of years, and now looking at our group of black heads, I think it's probably quite confusing.
Mr. Liu Xianping created nature literature and mentioned that Huangshan Mountain is a community of life. This statement has some academic meaning. To put it another way, it is roughly: you go and look at the pine trees, and the pine trees are also looking at you. You are crowded forward on the plank road. There may be a century-old rhododendron growing in the gap of the cliff next to you, but it is too lazy to pay attention to you.
The golden orchid, a national second-level protected plant, was just discovered in May this year near Jiulong Peak. They are living safely in the deep mountains and old forests. They have no idea that there is a 5A-level scenic spot called "Huangshan" outside. This scenic spot receives tens of thousands of tourists every day.
There is a word that has become quite popular recently: low-impact tourism.
The scenic spot is also under control. The maximum carrying capacity has been adjusted from 50,000 to 40,000. The West Sea Grand Canyon and Lotus Peak are required to limit the flow. Vegetables and objects can be cleaned before going up the mountain. Garbage must be washed before going down the mountain. Sewage must be managed uniformly. Although it sounds quite indifferent, behind this is the fear that the mountain will be overly damaged by us.
The Huangshan Municipal Government work report mentioned that by 2025, the number of tourist receptions will increase by 10%, and the total tourism expenditure will also increase by 12%. And the number of inbound tourists will exceed 500,000, with a growth rate of 50%. However, these numbers look very attractive, but can the mountain really withstand such a situation?
I don't know either.
Maybe everyone has his own Huangshan Mountain in his heart
Some people go there to check in and take a photo that is almost the same as the one shown in the iron painting in the Great Hall of the People. One of them shows a state of being. Some people go to the West China Sea Grand Canyon to take the Internet-famous train. The one-way ticket of this train is 100 yuan. Taking it can experience the "devil world". Some people simply want to climb a mountain, let themselves sweat all over, and then spend half an hour quietly in a corner where no one exists.
I saw a photo a few days ago. There was a person in the photo. This person was shirtless in the winter snow. I heard that he came from the imperial capital. Among the comments under the photo, some people called him stupid, while others called him fierce. However, I felt that at that moment he was quite free.
Those photos that have been forwarded in Moments are actually just tickets.
The real Huangshan begins when you decide to climb up.
You will meet the mountain lifters, the snow clearing staff, and the stranger who also spent the night in the toilet. You may chat for a few words, or you may each play with your mobile phone, but at that moment, you share the same mountain, feel the smell of the same toilet, and share the same expectation for dawn.
So, should we go or not?
Go ahead. Just don’t think of it as a “must-do” task.
Don't place your hopes on being able to gain a thorough understanding of life just by climbing a mountain once. It is more likely that you will still have pain in your legs for many days and then continue to engage in physical work when you return.
However, maybe in a late night when you are working overtime, you will suddenly recall that you were on the Aoyu Peak that day, when the setting sun made the entire mountain peak dyed golden, and the wind just blew over. At that time, you did not think about anything, but just felt with a pure feeling that it was good to be alive in this state.
That's enough.
Yishan, which is now called Huangshan, is located in the southern region of Anhui. Its area is about 1,200 square kilometers. These exact data can be found online.
What you can't find is the moment you are on the mountain.
What others show you will always be photos.
What is your own is called experience.
Even if this experience includes a night in the bathroom.
Let’s communicate in the comment area. In which season did you go? What did you see? Or, when do you plan to go? Don’t just stare at the pictures, you have to go and walk in person.
