May 1988 night of 25 7:30, when I was out of Tai'an train station, the one on the saw in close proximity, she had been a long time, becoming the first five mountains ancient and modern --- Taishan, this time this scenery, Yi Gu my mind filled with rapids.
As early as 86 years, I once planned to Taishan travel, but was unable to do so all the limitations. 88 June, the opportunity finally came this month, the school arranged for us to practice in Texas a month. While in Texas there are nearly 400 years away from Tarzan the way, but more than our school nearby, and this is indeed a rare opportunity, so I determined to go certain Goldenthal Hill, to realize their long-cherished wish for many years.
After the internship group arrived in Texas, the students are gearing up to go to Mount Tai, said a visit, but in the end, they have changed his mind because there is not enough money. In fact, my money is not much more to the Texas internship, I put on a total of 70 yuan, 30 yuan finally left, but I have not shaken the determination to Taishan, even though I was the only one person.
I decided to leave the morning June 25, a first-Jinan City sightseeing, night Goldenthal mountain, the next morning to watch the sunrise, to Taishan do not look at the sunrise will be very less. 24 afternoon, I found a military water bottle, which is essential mountaineering supplies, night, ready to work, bring a small backpack radio, Atlas of China, "Tarzan famous description," a shirt, a ball-point pen, a small comb and other items. To climbing a mountain, I am the only one person, but in fact I went to a man willing to go out so freely, there is no redundancy.
June 25 morning 5:30, I quietly Qile Chuang, packed luggage, without anyone noticing, they set out. Our resident has a four-way shuttle bus to the train station, but the first bus is 6:00, in order to gain time, I had to walk to the train station, at the station, I bought a ticket to Jinan City (111 times, 7:15 start ), eating breakfast outside the station and bought a money belt in the body of bread. 7:15, 111 Train punctuality set off the car there are seats, I casually looked for a sit down at the moment, I feel excited, I soon realize the aspirations of the! Passengers who sat next to me appears to be a farmer looks like, 40-year-old age, I would take the initiative to put up with him, he was Fucheng area in Anhui Province Lixin County, to visit relatives back from the forest area of Heilongjiang. I took out maps to see him, he told me in front of a map to a number of Heilongjiang, and their home situation, we have to talk to Jinan. Every time I always like car and accosted the passenger side, talking about a very speculative, it made me understand a lot of things, and met some of these young people have benefited.
Jinan, the way to go, so I am particularly interested is to be properly take a look at the Yellow River, I was very young know that China has the rivers --- the Yellow River, which is the cradle of the Chinese river. Of the Yellow River at hand, and I feel excited again, his eyes firmly fixed on the car window scene, first saw the Yellow River embankment, and not too high, an instant, the train set foot on the Yellow River Bridge, several years ago , I heard on the radio this the Yellow River, the railway bridge, when I was seen newspaper pictures of it, this is a person of their territory, and the railway bridge as the mighty, towering spectacular. So I am a little disappointed that I have seen the Yellow River, not as I have imagined that rough, yellow billowing waves of the Yellow River, the Yellow River channel is now only 10 meters wide, on both sides is a yellowing of the mudflats, looking very close to the bridge from the top of the riverbed above the ground plane a lot, is truly ground river. Of the Yellow River water is now very little, and the successive years of drought in North China in recent years are inseparable, but also, and the current drought in the upper reaches of the Yellow River region.

Trains passing through the Yellow River, went to the Jinan City, and 8:50 the train arrived in Jinan Railway Station. Jinan Station is said to be a national major stations, but it appears to look old, Station Square, not too large, a stop, my first thought is to buy one of Jinan city map, the results of Ruyuan a compensation, and then, I went to the ticket Hall, want to buy a train ticket the afternoon Taian, but said several windows and sold in the afternoon, so I out the ticket hall and began to explore the attractions.
Before leaving, I have asked others in Jinan City, tourist attractions, said Baotu Spring Lake and several attractions such as good. I take the first train arrived in the city Daming Lake Park. The car, heat waves Pumian, Jinan really hot! This time has come to 10:00, I bought a ticket Park, southwest of the door into the park. Park, an area of getting bigger, the lake on the boat a lot of visitors are enjoying to in paddled boats, lake, built a number of recreational facilities, which coincided with the day on Saturday, a lot of parents take their kids Laizheliwan, was very lively. Go to the north park, I felt hot and tired, so sitting in a lake, a stone bench, the rest for a moment, eating a piece of bread. Then, walk east along the lake came to a small attic next to the door there is a ad: "savages" and "Fitness Competition", which stood the video, I want to see what was going on, so bought a ticket into the去. Video quality is very problematic, so-called "savages" and found nothing unusual, as it did not match any bodybuilding attraction, then I will forward to reading this time is more than 1:00 o'clock. Out of the attic and began to return, in a plaque commemorating the exhibition gallery, I accidentally threw the glasses on the ground, which broke into the middle of the right lens from radiation-like, fragmented into 78, the left lens threw in two, really unlucky! Taishan yet to see, first threw glasses, and fortunately did not fall out of the lens, otherwise, Goldenthal Hill do not know how much less, it can make do with glasses!
I shun backtrack out of the southwest gate of the Daming Lake, this time is 2 pm or so, the weather is hot, the sun tan difficult for me to be, in the big door, I look at the map, to find the next one to go to attractions -- - Baotu Spring. Baotu Spring not too far away from the Daming Lake, I walk along the road to there. Into Baotu Spring Park, saw a head-spring pool, which is the spring water gushing out, then spring is very clear, and I published in the spring filled lake on the pebbles washed my face, really refreshing! Spring filled lake has a gold fish pond, pond water is very shallow, about two feet deep, which there are many schools of fish, small goldfish Wai, when coiled, like the water a group of fire Jiao is an attractive option, there are still more than a dozen fish pond of one-foot-long big carp, leisurely contentment of swimming in my fish pond next to the view of about a quarter of an hour and refuse to leave.
To leave the pond, walking towards park inside the park's scenery really wow, very beautiful layout. Along the way I see there are several springs are running dry, and this may be a relationship in recent years of drought. Beyond that walked, they came to the famous the world's best in the world --- Baotu Spring spring. See spring pool great pity that this is best in the world dry spring did not escape the fate of spring ponds overgrown with weeds, so that frustrated me a lot. Leave Baotu Spring, I continue to watch other scenery.
About 4 o'clock, I left the Baotu Spring Park, according to the instructions of the route map, went to a Xinhua bookstore and bought a "large file compilation of the CPC 13" by 11 after the bus on the way back to half-past four in Jinan Station. At the station bought a ticket to the city of Tai'an, 5:30, the train slowly passing out of Jinan Station, after a two-hour journey in the evening, arrived at Tai'an City.
(C)
Taian City gave me the first impression is "terrific"! A station can see the face of many high-rise buildings, magnificent, Taishan is like a huge landscape painting hanging in the front. To the city, my first thing is to buy a Taian Taishan city map and tourist map. With the map, even more powerful, according to maps in the direction I came daimiao Street. Night 9 o'clock and find a quick-service restaurants, eating a meal dumplings, I had brought bread, but the fear of climbing too tired, eat bread and not useful, tours ton dumplings to eat regarded as swelling awkward bar! After dinner, I spread the water out in a restaurant was filling a pot of hot water, while water sharing edges and keep talking to the old man, I asked a lot about the situation in Taishan, the old man has also taken the initiative to introduce me, saying that was quite speculation. About 10:10, I bid farewell to the old man, alone in the street along the daimiao went straight to the Red Gate. Red Gate is a starting point for mountain Goldenthal, a place near the red door and bought a walking stick, turned out that a cane is designed for mountaineering, especially at night mountaineering use (perhaps it is not known as a walking stick, called alpenstock, Pathfinder stick what ). Emerged in 3322 when the tourists on the street Red Door Ben went, this day is a Saturday, it is estimated will not climb less. 10:45, I arrived at the Red Gate.
Into the red door to move forward, it means climbing started, this time the sky is very dark, starry sky, a sunny good night! I thought to remind myself how lucky, because the purpose of climbing at night is that the next morning to watch the sunrise, if the morning clouds, then everything is no use of. Then a crescent hanging in the horizon, winding Road still vaguely recognizable. To move forward, the terrain began to greatly enhance this section of the road there are many people on both sides, holding lights, arrayed a number of stalls, selling a particularly large number of crutches, climbing ages, many people are armed with a walking stick, like I do The young man holding a stick, either. I saw a group of climbers who wanted to accompany them, but see that they move slowly, to determine their own actions. This is certainly bold enough, because Hill Road on both sides of the forest clouds, the sky and black people the way Jing De chills, can not watch anything, if it met the bad guys how to do? I am alone for quite a long way to climb, see the back onto the flashlight for a fight, who do not see his face, as if a middle-aged, we did not get in a word, I walked with in a subsequent section of the road, and my heart there not peace, this person walking fast, fear is not a tourist, so I slowed down, opened the distance, a moment, that person turn the corner completely omitted.
I continue to climb in one section of the road, suddenly found that there are a few street in front of Mars in the flashing, hesitated a moment, bold enough to walk over 56 meters away from the fire points, and only when the roadside to see a few people sitting In the smoke, but no one's speech, I flashed a thought: they are not blocking? I have no escape route, bite the bullet and walked past to see if they have no moving, I did calm down.
Although I alone groping forward, in a dark jungle of the Hill, but my heart is still relatively quiet, with no fear of how. Interestingly, children, when I climbed to a fork in the road when there in front of two roads, and to be too small stone bridge, one west, one east, but I did not hesitate on the choice of how the west of that road, this option is unfounded, because I did not advance on the map to see the situation, and this intersection has no signs, just relying on intuition Is that what psychologists call "the sixth feeling "do? However, proved to opt for this route is correct, it was ascent Road, the road will go around to the mountain.
Before climbing, I have a good mental preparation, no matter how tired and more bitter, but also to climb the peak. To tell the truth, it's emotional climb tired, and not just because they long, but also because of an upward climb, Hill steeper. I take the opportunity to come to a jungle before the dark, sat by the roadside rest, I looked at the jungle, feel that it seems to be that described in the book, "Bo hole" of the so-called "Bo-hole" is climbing's Road surrounded by thick cypress, forming a tree holes look. This time, I would like to go along with such a, because it was too dark. Rest for about a quarter of an hour he heard the back up of two people who the name of torch, carrying a backpack, evidently, as tourists, so I got on with them, both men looked comparable age and I, They are a chicken plant in Jinan City, the workers, special to hiking to see the sunrise on Saturday. The three of us together to climb rapidly, there is a road close to trot, climbing the steps of a staircase from one ladder, never-ending, we are cruelly hot, but the more climb, the weather was more cool, we climbed to the breath Zhongtian Gate, when it is midnight and 12:10.
(D)
Zhongtian Gate lit lamp, there are a number of small stalls selling eat and drink, though the price is generally more expensive than the foot of the mountain. This place has gathered a lot of climbers, we are here to rest for a moment, it started climbing again as the crowd, and this is the Nantian Gate to enter!
Zhongtian Gate to the Nantian Gate section of track is the famous 18, the terrain is very steep, people clamored forward to the climb. Jinan and I climbed the two partners separated after a while, and they both speed drill into a group of people in front of the children after a while, I have more than the group of people, they began to climb alone, and the roads encountered to the individual climbers, but did not accompany them. As the altitude increased, more and more steep terrain, to a tight 18, have 70-degree slope, and some sections as straight up and down. 18, a plate of another disk, disk to disk to go and never-ending climb this, I have been very tired, thanks to help me stick to the King, otherwise, I would grueling's. Lot 18 is already more than 1,000 meters above sea level, and weather, some cold, beads of sweat on his forehead cool, in order to prevent a cold, I took out from his backpack, shirt, wrapped in the head. 2:00 more, I finally boarded the Nantian Gate, 18, really terrible!
Nantian Gate has already gathered a lot of tourists, many of them students, people are busy rented coat, because the top of the hill the weather cool, and hotels, most of tourists to the open overnight, boil for hours. People crowded together in twos and threes the rest, I did not rent coat, just another three or four hours to dawn, and adhere to perhaps give some thought! Turned out, not rent coat is not enough, and the mountains is indeed a little bit cold, but also is a southeast wind blowing chilly difficult subject.
In the Nantian Gate rest for a while, I went to Japanese concept of peak, and Japanese concept of peak and yuhuang ding in Nantian Gate on the eastern side, on the west side is the concept of peak. I found a section of the road, some tired, then in an attic next to the rest of that happened when the two young men embark on Jinan, they have to greet me, so three of us together again in Minato, to find Japanese concept of peak. We are along the rugged mountain peaks touched a little, see a huge stone cross there, I thought this is the Beaconsfield stone (the best place to view the sunrise), the latter a close look at the above lettering is "Zhan Lu Taiwan . " Also look for a section of the road, we have finally found the Japanese concept of peak and the Gongbei stone. Stone in the vicinity of Beaconsfield House has been a few people were squeezed in a place where the wind back to sleep. Then I felt cold, they found a crevice in the stone with the bottom covered with several sheets of paper, body shrink inside, head forward to backpacks, shirts who built a rest. This place is not too leeward, under the body is hard slate feel very uncomfortable. Jinan, the two partners have found a place to rest go. I lay in that moment, it is cold and uncomfortable and decided to find another place, but overall there is no suitable, and I was pacing around in the Japanese concept of peak for a long time, he wanted to rent a few coats, but finally did not go, Then I went to a sheltered home heating People's Liberation Army. Take the present 4:00 minutes at this time, it gradually climbed up, more and more people are in groups into the gang, and I see people in the Japanese concept of peak and Yuhuangding scurry back and forth between, and many people just up time and lost in Japan where the concept of peak at.
At 5 o'clock, the sky micro-light, people began to converge from every corner of Beaconsfield and yuhuang ding near the east slope of stone, waiting for sunrise. I estimate about the number of about 1,500 people. People waited patiently, eyes gazing at the eastern horizon. Tarzan at the foot of the mountains and the Great Wen Sorai River develops clearly, as far as the horizon, are shrouded in mist among the general truth fairy, fascinating. Slowly over the eastern horizon, and a little bit of changing, a small gray cloud floating repeated, where the day reddish color from light gray --- --- light red to dark red, and 5:50, then the horizon suddenly emerge in a bright red "Jade", "ah! out! out!" to the consternation of the crowd, humming prevalent, followed by, I heard the torrent of like a "Kacha" sound, flash light into one, People hurry to shoot sunrise, steal the scene. After a about two minutes a round, glowing red sun jumped out of a sudden, a red earth. Taishan sunrise so beautiful! I would also seize the opportunity to point a camera took a view of sunlight, which is to commemorate a historic photo.
End view of the sunrise, I took my feelings of excitement and joy, leaving the Japanese concept of peak, this time days have been great light, and the mountains panoramic view of the scenery. 6:20, I came to the yuhuang ding and spent money to buy a ticket 2 hair, into the Jade Emperor shrine. There is a stone shrine compound are kept up, people are on to the stone throwing coins in a small round tin, and I threw a coin with you. Sit north to south of the shrine in the middle, sat a statue of the Jade Emperor, like the pre-stocked with a large Bo Ligang, cylinder in front of the ground covered with a square pad. So this tank is for people to donate money to use, the mattress is for people to kowtow wish purposes. People are eager to travel to the Jade Emperor "donated" money, and bowed flocked crowds, these people are elderly, middle-aged people, there are many young men and women, they believe in the gods to decide their own fortune good or bad fortune, to the Jade Emperor pray for a better future.
(E)
7:00 o'clock, I started down the mountain with the flow, Shun retrace their steps to Nantian Gate, Nantian Gate there is a cableway station, is the direct Zhongtian Gate, and a lot of people sitting down rope, long line, I do not consider the ropeway ride So walking down the mountain. As the saying goes: "easy downhill mountain difficult," does have such a taste, I walk on crutches and down the stone steps down, this time, day visitors after another mountain to climb to. Roadside mountain there are many old and famous stone carvings, among them Peng Zhen, and Deng Yingchao of the inscription.
Because I am climbing at night, unable to watch the scenery along the way, this only to see the down faster, but due to very tired, and no appreciation of each spot carefully. Cardiff Tiaodan encountered along the way plenty of money, they needed the mountains and from tourist attractions of food, coal and all kinds of appliances and other items from days door pick up the mountain, 100 kilos heavy thing down on his shoulders, step by step climbing, really great!
Under the mountain seems to be particularly long, endless, I rest on the road several times, otherwise, for fear is stuck atop of. At about 10:30, and finally returned to the starting point for climbing the red door can be considered a down! Then I tired and hungry, in the mountains when I did not eat a thing. I dragged his exhausted steps came last night to eat dumplings of that restaurant next to the restaurant that day cleaning is not opened, the old man selling tea stalls still there guarding the water, I walked over and drank two glasses of water, the old man was also remember me, we talked for a while, parting, the old man warmly invited me to come back after this place, I also said that even when you come to this tea water. Yes, I had the opportunity would come to board Taishan, but did not know until what year and what month, maybe seven or eight years, maybe 10 years, 20 years, then, I am from youth to middle age , while the old man but also to the seventies of the years, and I hope the old man to health and longevity! I found another restaurant, a hearty meal, the body feel comfortable a lot, but also with the strength, time has come to 12:00, I walk to the Tai-station, on the 14:14 train to Jinan aboard 556 times. Taishan Goodbye! Taian Goodbye! I will come back!
(Vi)
Train arrived at 4 o'clock in Jinan City, and then to buy a ticket to the Texas Office of the train, buy a ticket a lot of people, very crowded, there are two young people have let me take votes, they are to go to Beijing, and later, we catch something and one is called Liu Zhiwei, the Beijing Aerospace Engineering College of staying in health, home Tangshan; a tractor plant in Linyi, Shandong Yang. We leave each of the addresses, and each invited guest.
5:52, the train arrived in Dezhou city, I returned to the practice field --- Construction Machinery Plant Health. At this point triumphant return trip to Mount Tai, the students are very envious of my move, they have some regret, I became the only board member of Taishan Group of Texas internship.
