Church Hill, is located in the central part of Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County in Guangxi in the peak 1979 meters above sea level. Kim Soo-let me have long been fascinated by, is where the sound and found it very mysterious Dayaoshan, but this time we just wear Dayaoshan by.
Shortly after 3 pm on November 7, the car set off from Yangshuo. All the way through the Lipu County, according to the map fled in the direction under the guidance of the Liuzhou. On this day in fine weather, blue sky without clouds, under the autumn sun in the fields, the rice is mature, far and near an old and yellow, a little of golden yellow, some of the fields had been harvested, leaving bundles of straw pole. A result of listening to people say that three hours will be open until, we are not anxious not in a hurry, about five o'clock reached the town of Kim Soo in the first row. However, in the gas station, we have painfully learned, the original cross from here to the Kim Soo-road are road has been closed road, and may have to be open again on the 25th. We can only turn back 25 kilometers back to the Xiuren Lipu town are from here now turn to the Kim Soo-in, take a cross Dayaoshan of the Hill.
The road is poor, is full of gravel and loess, car stirring up much dust. The more we climbed higher and gradually dark days, and at the foot of a very far away can be seen more or less light, the rise is a hook near the moon, and stars soon be filed. Lighting according to Department, the front Wanting tortuous road, side of the road is the bare rocks and soil on the other side are often clusters of reeds, weeds and inadvertently appeared a few trees, and these plants is more distant, it is Implicit in the dark abysmal valley. Fortunately, I have been driving on a dark night in the mountain experience, it is also bold enough to dare to break forward.
More than 50 kilometers of the mountain, and spent nearly two hours, when we have been down to the gradient at its base, the eyes suddenly roll-out a bright, Kim Soo-up!
Small town, only a street along the river, but also brightly lit and clean. To live in hostels run by the Internal Revenue Service, 60 dollars double large bed for less than half of the room; is the capacity of electric water heater is not big enough, just barely clean the body soapy water on the cold. Out midnight snack and ate the porridge spread significantly less use is to kill the fish pot of porridge, in the Shaokao Tan ate roast beef and roast pork Whip (strange, but very crispy), feel the taste is very authentic, but the price than what we expected to be higher, it seems a little better than the consumption level of Kim Soo-Yangshuo worse. From the local learned that Kim Soo-in addition to Church Hill, as well as county forests Dayaoshan the side resorts, as well as the west 16 km far from the Lotus Mountain (peak 1350 meters above sea level), are a good place to go.
About 9:30 the next morning, we started toward the south, 42 kilometers far from the church hill. Not far out of town, that is, a period of trying to fix the road, the car, such as crawling. Then is the mountain, and road as the previous difference in dry and sunny autumn sun, the rear of the dust thrown off a string of horrible, so when we meet whenever and cars have to quickly close the window. Fortunately, the car is not much dust in the mountains disappear just as quickly dissipated, as long as there is no car in front, we quickly opened the window, breathing fresh mountain air. Walked on the last car on the hilltop, are often run in the top of the mountain. Look at the distant mountains, but also mostly endless places to start a very gentle changes Peak high and low, such as a Road connected barrier.
The mountains encountered on their way a Shun Yao Jia younger sister, and we take her a way. Yao younger sister at home in the mountains in a small village, I got even walk two hours after the mountain to get to. She finished junior high school there would be no reading, and family opened a small shop, so she did not want to do farm work in the mountains, busy at home, waiting to find a job, but the village no longer the same age girls to play, I often have students come out to play. She was very generous, talkative, introduced a lot of local things, and tell us not far from her home has a beautiful landscape Tiger Lake, recently a team of photographers to Guangdong, or that she brought the tiger lake. She also pointed to the roadside on the slopes of the laurel or the Yi Keke I think it is banyan tree told me that those who are star anise tree, where rich anise. I said, stew meat is very fragrant star anise, and she told me that here, octagonal lot, and when drying after picking a great scent everywhere Smelly's. We stopped at the roadside a star anise tree, picked a very green of star anise, a number of small Li discovered that in fact there are nine angle, and we laughed together, can not understand why called star anise, can count the number of mountains unclear? Street saw a number of mountain people in Ban Zhao bags with grass and leaves to cover things, Yao sister, tell us here in the mountains is also a very good kinds of ginger, these are going to sell them to acquire vendors, 2 pt 5 cents a pound. My mother, out on the market sold for Jiang 1.2-2 yuan a catty, where does it mean that there are huge profits, then we can get a little back to the wholesale traders. Surprisingly, Yao younger sister told us that along the way taxation, public security, a lot of hurdles and other search vehicles and found out what you will be transported to open a single money, fills provincial worry Bar! After another one village, we found that the roadside just harvested the fields filled with daily necessities and clothes, surrounded by many people, turned the flow of the mountains fairs, so based on the trading market in the fields.
Some walked more than two hours, appeared in front of several oddly shaped peaks, that is the church hill. Mountain from top to bottom, curved urgent steep slope. A stream flowing along the valley, quiet, extremely clear water, light hit the water spread of the rock, skateboarding land formed the microwave, light green impressive to induce us to get off to wash face and hands a bit too fresh in ! After a while longer first touch the skin, we were surprised to find that once the skin smoother and a lot, truth, just paint over Oil of Olay. This mountain of water nice ah! Stream of a ride on the cross to sit a small wooden bridge, made us interesting to go back and forth several times. Back down the mountain the next day when we spent 20 minutes here, once again let the skin cool in a tender.
This once again go about 2 hours before reaching the church on a hillside mountain gate. Tickets are 50 yuan per person, driving inside, and went about 10 years on the mountain, the road is more soft rock, there are a few tires slipping in the gravel on the grind a wave Jiaohu Wei, I have only the first stop, back a little, and then made enough to power a washed themselves up. Parking lot to reach the mountains when it is 2 pm. Here, there should be more than 1000 meters above sea level, is still looked up in front of several peaks towering into the sky, and then looked at the following very remote valleys, villages and more distant Amid the rolling hills, we suddenly feel both excited and exhausted, they decided to eat lunch. Empty parking lot a car, tourism development, the company's large house, but only 4,5-working staff in leisurely hang out, see we are coming to dinner, they brought the menus. A look at price, vegetables 13 yuan / dish, Meat 25 yuan a small copies, 35 yuan large copies, consumption is not low rating! Church Hill is basically rock formation, a bit like Mountain or Danxiashan in the mountains is difficult kinds of things, and no one living, even water is difficult to Xucun, so most rely on food Sinotrans, and the foot of the mountain villages are far apart Therefore, the high cost of the mountains, really, is understandable. Huangshan Mountain and other mountains of consumption may be higher, which is somewhat nostalgic Dragon's Back to where the mountains have been a deserted plot, there are villages self-sufficient, so all the consumer is much more cheaper, such as vegetables is definitely 4 -- 5 yuan / disk.
15 o'clock, and we summon the courage to start walking to the church Peak climbing the mountain told us to climb two and a half hours, just to the summit can see the sunset. Lang Lang in the sun shining, and some hot flashes, and all the way no one else could see into the street to stop there is a Canton Chrysler sport utility vehicle license plates, there may be wave of people have back in our up to the mountains. Road, become increasingly steep stone steps, we entered the shady side of the mountain, and walk through the woods, when the fever gone whole body at rest stop, and soon will be able to feel the cold of the mountains, just off the clothes Also put on quickly. More than half an hour later, woods gradually thinning, and road has become straight up and down in front of the rock more and more high-rise, more and more open perspective, the immediate beauty of a sudden multi-up, our emotions will also gradually rising. In the "Yuannv look Husband" and "Monkey concept cloud" office, and looked down and there have been servant volts at the foot extend from near and far layers of smaller mountains, and mountain roads have been blurred, and we have begun to feel fear a high feeling. Then, after an era I do not know which set up the ancient stone walls, climbed over a ridge, we entered the sunny side, immediately was very bright sunlight could not get to stab eyes open, obviously feeling a lot closer than usual to the sun.
Side of the scenery more beautiful, and mountains more, more recently, valleys deeper, more secluded and across the stone wall that Road, just as suddenly came to the mountains from the hill outside. The mountains here are all from the huge rock formations, it is Doudi straight up and down, round after round of rock is sandwiched between one another crack will rock etching was both varied and handsome rugged, much like the Huangshan Mountain and the Mountain. Sometimes a row of mountains with the past, been a while, as their enormous Daoxue too general, steeply Chihiro, on the other side brings a steep rise up to the whole ridge will be very thin to stretch open to form a huge "crucian carp back. " Because the road dangerous, difficult for outsiders to come in very dense vegetation in the mountains and diverse, are thriving in the Ming Chu grow with the dark, under the autumn sun in the more exposed to the green from green to yellow to red and so a variety of colors. The distance between the cliff, green in the throws of a red, I think it was maple, and if it is spring, I would certainly think that is the Azalea. Spring Hill church, but said rhododendrons are the most famous Manshan colorful way open, red, yellow, purple, and there is a rare color azalea, mu into the existence of discrete open, I really hope that come next spring, I have another!
Finally, we came a long absence, above the human voice, we only bird with the wind in the valley between the loud cry, really enjoy another gratification, so should be in front of us cried, both sides also played a folk song this is really a return to nature, and in the city which the exchange of anyone who is so registration is neuropathy. Soon, climb a big shipo, and finally by the smell of their voice to the reflected in its people, and saw there are four individuals from the top to down trembling, not with each other by the arm with Shi Huan. One asked, they are indeed to take the empties off-road vehicles, and ask why not spend the night at the Peak, replied that there are no other visitors to the Peak to live, and too expensive. It seems today that only two groups of people into the mountains, and we will be the only visitors to stay overnight at the Peak.
The sun is still shining brightly, road further and further steep, very often built on cliff appears to be from the highest peak - Genting far away. The monastery is surrounded by hope, ravines horizon, the peaks rise steeply, more distant mountains are boundless marginal layer of mist in the cage. Sometimes road in front into a crevice, only one person rather than sideways; and sometimes very deep roadside cliff, and one must look dizzy!
Unconsciously, we feel that too much sun, though still eye-catching, but more red, he had a premonition about was setting. Here we made a mistake, I mistakenly believe that the sun will certainly be far from the west side of the big top of the hill rolling fall, but in fact those from the higher parts of the Peak, a huge shadow, shadow the top of the sky has been became orange-red to bright yellow from the over-the dazzling, but the sun will fall there. Sun has been far from the shadows, and we have a time delay, this time though Yang Toukan met with Genting's hotels, but the climb still a lot of time. This time we have Faji, and fear not before sunset to Genting, once dark with a flashlight down, but we did not bring呀! Hastened to climb it, we are chasing the sun up in time, at the beginning for fear of sweating we walk slowly, and now suddenly wetness of the. Approaching Genting, we went into a pine forest (the tree was seen as hanging a sign called the "Fujian Bai"), to this mountain, really strange, other mountains to the summit the more the less the more dwarf trees, which attributes actually enjoy mountain to the summit more larger trees. The sun has finally hung a huge shadow to the edge of Western Paradise, and was gradually swallowed. We have almost a trot, this time not that fear does not go Genting, but ran out of the bush to see the sunset. But we finally do as intended in order to try, only through the tall trees of the gap to see a brilliant sunset!
Dusk, we pass through pine forests form of more and more strange (with something called "Snake Dance Song"), to the bright lights of Genting Hotel.
Sitting on the third floor large dining room, west wall is a row of full-glass windows, while the western horizon swallowed the setting sun of that huge shadow increasingly clear, the edge into a very straight line, the line is still above the rendering out from the orange-red to lemon rich colors. Again near the top, winding into the walls of the crescent also eye, as well as I knew of Venus (also known as Venus star). All this is so close, really, too close, you can truly feel that we are fast, but from the days near 2000 meters呀! The foot of the mountain that distant lights, as if we had widened the earth is not a small distance.
We rely on the window to admire the Western Paradise Enjoy exciting, and increasingly by shadow side Natiao very flat and highly intoxicated long lines to draw the line with our long-term is now almost as high. What is that line, the sun why downhill from there? Suddenly I had this question emerge. An administrator when the hotel came up to us: the horizon a good look! Ah! Horizon! By the way, this is the horizon! We are hours from the books know the horizon of this word, I have many times seen the sunrise and sunset from the mountain top, but the memory has never been so clear horizon concept. I quickly looked around, this is really their enormous line to go around the opening in the South, the North can not be proud of the horizon most clearly seen to form a large enough without the limits of semi-Park (watching us from hotel less than the east).
Small Li also stunned: ah? This is the horizon, that is, the earth's shadow? So we are not going out of the earth it? Yes, from here we see the shadow of the Earth, that is, previously we note that the shadows on the top of the hill, this is the earth round the outline of a long-term. I think our ancestors thousands of years ago and certainly have seen the great parks of this arc before that the sky is round, before the creation of a celestial globe, said. At this point, I suddenly had the feeling to be flying away, the earth on the front edge of the horizon is also as high as me, and I will be able to touch the horizon of the past, fly!
Dinner is more expensive than lunch, vegetables 15 yuan / dish, Meat 30 yuan / small dishes (40 yuan / album), medicine Paojiu 15 yuan / 22. The mountains are a diesel power generation, people rely on diesel pick up, very limited, so 9 o'clock will be lights out. Water is also yellow, and is a reservoir of water, because it is a rocky mountain, the mountain is difficult to build and live in natural water, nor from the foot pumped; hill people say that this water is actually very nutritious to eat together. Anyway, early dry body sweat, and the mountain began to cool up, fills not wash bath, and asked for a bucket of hot water wipe their feet on the body and then bubble satisfied. Hotel rooms ranging from 300-900 yuan, as expected worse! We asked for a 200 yuan outside the huts, both provinces want more experience points.
Wooden huts there are clean bathroom, and thick quilts. Soon kakaji just lie down to sleep. Middle of the night, the suddenly awakened by the wind, the original start windy in the mountains. Feel the wind blown from the cabin to the left of right, and from the right side blown to the left, because of squatters not been completely sealed, they can feel the gentle and cold airflow Yi Gu, with the wind to sweep cheek Huzuohuyou , reminiscent of the Millennium mountain demon was dancing with a fluttering long-sleeved, some really creepy. Sometimes, the wind strong points, it makes one worry that squatters will be overturned, or blow flies fall into the valley, and sometimes feel as if Hill has also been shaken up and the wind, in short, almost Zaimo asleep late at night can be a strange the spiritual has been very good, the next morning, the storm also is not at it seems to be the mountain air is good, sleep quality and high bar.
Whiten finally out of the window, and the wind has yet to be resolved. In order not to waste such a valuable mountain sunrise, and we grit one's teeth kicked the blankets on the 6:00 out of the huts around shivering. Outside, a great wind, the wind is not large, but really cold, we are all pulled out of the hood, put all the clothes, all of them look like extraterrestrial. Walk about 10 minutes, we went Genting peak, there is still a lush mountain pine and shrubs, form strange, Qiu dried snake sticks, but most have been short many, only to persons chest, but there seems to be unusually tall and broad tree , form an elegant, weathered look of.
The most exasperating is the Peak in mobile communications base stations to occupy the whole of the Peak, but also blocked the best view to watch the sunrise. We have no other alternative, climbed the barbed wire cloth iron gate, but also climbed to a studio with a plastic panel erected on the roof, finally a glimpse of the East. See, the east has a huge, straight line, dear horizon! Yesterday, as we have seen, but transferred to the East, the above is still bordered by the brilliant orange-red to bright yellow. Now we can look around, and north and south sides of the line is still evident, while the West is bleak lines down, but still vaguely visible, it is true and complete horizon of the earth in our very eyes is truly List exhaustive! At this point, I again have to touch the horizon in the past desire! Suddenly, a strong wind, I was really almost soaring, but I was terrified, and lost all of the romantic feeling, squat down quickly to seize the roof, palpitation for several a while.
Last sunrise, and we can head to the earth again, and soak in the sun. Distant mountains in dark cloth with a large piece of floating also whiten the morning mist, quietly without a slight change, people will mistakenly think it is a mountain river or lake. Numerous boulders near the external peaks, at dawn inside is even more exposed steep magnificent silhouette. In this position, you really would think that not far from the paradise ......
