The 8000 stone steps Fanjingshan
First heard the name Fanjingshan and a few friends in the chat in that, from the literal first impression is a sense of delightful feeling. Here has the same latitude on the Earth's best-preserved of the original ecological zone, or the existing one of the three golden monkey, the Guizhou golden monkey, the only distribution area. In particular, that extremely attractive and challenging the 8000 stone steps, could not help but enticingly up.
Under highly recommended by friends, in the early autumn in October alone, embarked on a Fanjingshan trip. In order not to turn back, it was decided Jiangkou County of 8000 stone steps up the hill, crossing the entire Fanjing, down to the Indian River County side of the foot. In this case, it must carrying a backpack weighing 30 pounds and nearly 10 pounds heavier camera bags mountain climbing and physical strength is a big test.
Black Bay is a gate into the river, the river little river was full of pebbles, kingfishers and many unknown birds playing in the water's edge.
From the entrance to the mountain stage at the starting point there are 10 km mountain, has been wearing a black r. edge back and forth the two sides, one side is the lush mountains on one side is the murmur of the clear water, very suitable for walking.
Reach the stairs at the starting point is already more than four in the afternoon, and can not be dark before the 3 hours to climb the Peak, and my heart is really not sure.
Steps ago, a staff member holding record book read: "The 51", seems that I have today on this side of the mountains from the estuary of the 51st person. Fanjingshan huge, holiday, but dozens of tourists, appears to be propaganda is not enough.
And I also go into the mountains along with dozens of tourists, stone steps on both sides of the bearers features a move encouraged us to sit slider. Come here just want to climb mountains, it appears that more than a dozen tourists and I the same idea. Almost every visitor side has one or two bearers followed, carrying a large bag has become the focus of my goals, two bearers followed me from time to time in the ear nagging: "sitting slider bar" to discourage the several times, useless, then follow the bar.
Has just set foot on the stone steps, a happy mood in front of what I feel everything is so beautiful: long with a moss faint Hill Road, grass green trees along the road, birds resounded through the valley of the tweet.
Just climb for a while, mountain streams, seems within reach, can be Fanjingshan has given me a Xiama Wei had. Round after round of sweat down the walk through the hair along the face, clothes wet with sweat firmly glued to the body, the two shoulders of the bearers take the towel Mimi looked at me laughing, sitting waiting for me to surrender their slider.
To the first a simple corrugated Inn and Commissary before the carved stone steps, "a thousand steps." Steps until 1000, has spent a lot of physical strength. Aisle of the pavilion, the young female boss and a few bearers are sitting chatting, look at me breathless, have advised me to take the slider, with a smile declined. After a short break, followed by a step to climb the legs, then two bearers are still persistently followed.
More and more tired, carrying 40 kilograms of becoming more and more weight, and had a rest stop more frequently. Other tourists are gone, I have lagged the end, only the birds with their calls me a step by step up difficulty.
To a step 1800 is 17:00, and another is a simple inn, feel completely exhausted. It seems the train sat for a day with a heavy backpack, really affecting my physical strength. Breath drank a whole bottle of water before pressure of cross-gas to, and the owner of Aunt chatted for half an hour and learned mostly in Songtao County, Guizhou golden monkey, a rare side of the mountain appeared deserted, and only occasionally in winter, when snow came to this mountain of food.
Aunt's daughter, also opened in step 2400 the inn, a people are relying on doing business visitors live. I would like to know the day is to the summit, mother to persuade me not Zouye Lu, night snake-infested mountain often.
After bidding farewell to Aunt continue the road, the two bearers finally gave up. Did not take long, his back is a period of almost 70-degree angle of 50 meters long "ladder" to see this, not yet begun to climb, foot by foot in shiver. Pulling iron chain, three-step one-stop, five a break.
In this way, dallying to go to the 2400 steps, a woman was watching what the front of the inn. Drew closer look, turned out two Wild chickens are feeding, whole body colorful feathers. This woman is the aunt's daughter, she told me that every morning at the inn there are many around the Wild Chicken haunted, she would often put more food for their evening feeding.
Aunt's daughter encouraged me to board the night of the Peak, will be able to see the sunrise the next morning.
No one along the way, one could hear his limp, monotonous sound of footsteps in the upward extension difficult.
After a 3000, and paralysis坐在台阶上, thigh and hip muscles on both sides seem to be taking away the like, feeling even stood up to put all my energy gone, the sky was dark down gradually to be their teeth forward to the next a rest area.
6:30, and finally to a 3600 step inn, the owner is a meal hunger suddenly hit. A bowl of noodles Xia Du, followed gradually resume physical strength. Front is a dark, reaching not see five fingers. Was wondering whether to continue upward and foot of the mountain up the three slider, slider tourists ride up the mountain overnight. To see me alone carrying a large bag, bearers were also unanimously exclaimed.
Dousoujingshen, determination, and they walked off together. I wonder if it is accompanied by a bowl of noodles or played a role, even bearers can barely keep up with the pace. Do not see any scenery at night, the speed also faster up, and have a two steep staircases, unknowingly had come to step 4500. Here is to the top of the mountain the final resting place, there is a small Pingba, built back Xiang Ping Guest House.
If success is bound to experience a bird's broken shells, broken cocoon chrysalis, like the pain of suffering has become a practice, here is no exception. Physical strength has become very much overdrawn, but fortunately there are bearers who kept encouraging me, and they are not to collapse the next.
Xiang Ping from the back to the summit were walking in the mountains in bamboo and moss coppice. We take a, sit down and rest, I took out chocolate and candy to share with them, each drum with enthusiasm. I do not know how long they climb, the distance light came on the Peak on is coming!
21 o'clock sharp, I finally stood on the hilltop! Although he is already exhausted, stand stood shaky, but the conquest of 8000 stone steps is so cool. At the same time will find the kind of imagination in the sky was clear and Fengqing Qishuang feel something is not illusory, it's in your side in your eyes.
