Travels in the body, "down to business" refers to the process in the time of our tour arrangements, hotel, fees, etc. They refer to the information available for Mix, "cackle" is mainly because I have seen and heard along the way and feelings.
September 28
Down to business at noon 13 o'clock sharp, Tonghua bound by the 2537 Beijing Train set foot on the road.
Cackle-free.
September 29
Down to business morning 6:51 am, 2537 meeting on time Tonghua, get off quickly after 8:10 pm Tonghua bound to purchase the 4241 White River sub-tickets, plus plenty of time to eat breakfast in Northeast flavor.
4241 Train arrived in the afternoon of Shirakawa, in the Station employed a three-wheeled motor vehicles (commonly known as Leap vehicles), as long as no Shirakawa and 2, 2 yuan to go casual.
Shirakawa and 2 is almost the same town, in the middle is only about five minutes drive away from the road, two from the northern slope of Changbai Mountains on the way to more recent, it is recommended Mix were still living in the two to be more convenient.
We are eager to find hotels of the next, after the train, there is no selective, live in the White River's spring Bristol Park Hotel, alleged or forestry guest houses, but it turned out, this decision is wrong. Hotels inside the two human size Daoshi getting bigger, but the poor sanitary conditions, public bathrooms, and bathroom dirty, well, improvise live there, after all, only 35 yuan / rooms.
If you have time, you can go to the beautiful White River Pine Park, walk around, take a look at one of the Changbai Mountain, specialty beauty pine (Pinus pine).
Cackle
4241 Train as "Pu-slow", along the way to stop a lot of stations, the stations have more the impression of "hot spring" and "Songjianghe", which focused on a number of hot springs station hotels and guest houses, railway next to the ad goes: "the mountains view Tianchi, down the mountain hot spring bath "; Songjianghe western slope of Changbai Mountain is the distance from the nearest town gate is our journey of this second major foothold.
4241 Train the landscape is quite good, car window full of the North vast black soil, rolling mountains and hills that have been dyed colorful autumn wind and frost forest, northeast of Beijing in autumn than in the much earlier. Exterior weather is also very clear, only in passing when you will see on the ground of individual col condensation of thick fog, but turn the Pass, the fog again Shuer disappeared without a trace. The passengers due to the same destination, but also is the home festive days, so the same compartment where there is a lot of neighbors, they exchanging greetings with their forward, inquire about the current situation of the home.
In the car, we also encountered a pair of also departed from Beijing to the Changbai the Mix, the intention to talk with them chartered uphill task, but they preferred Songjianghe settled in preparation for the day of the first on the western slope, so we do not trip France went along with. But I never thought that we will in the town encounters, of course, this is something of.
2 White River are two of the town surrounded by forests child, nothing more than the so-called beautiful pine park around the town than the forest green only two more. The only more interesting is the relatively high standing in the park on a green, it can be ash in Changbai Mountains overlooking the vast expanse of whiteness and the snow-covered mountain top, but there we are dreaming of the Changbai Tianchi.
September 30
Junction down to business early in the morning when the money room, hotel staff actually disregard the moral arena, stated categorically said yesterday that a good accommodation prices are calculated in accordance with 35 yuan each, a total of 70 yuan, also argue that the state-owned hotels will not be arbitrary charges. I had no time to argue with her again in yesterday paid a 100 yuan deposit the money in the hands of others is not that I can have the final say, and simply checkout trouble, nor has it and his girlfriend talk about for fear of her bad mood . Just stay in the guesthouse next few days, when added extra careful.
6:30 am, we have sat yesterday in the town on the appointment of an ALTO, 35 yuan sent to the Mountain Gate, to reach the Mountain Gate takes about half an hour. Mai Menpiao 60 yuan / person, another to his girlfriend rented a military coat spent 20 dollars, and then poured a Jetta, 100 yuan to the ticket office in Changbai Mountain Falls. Ticket office is near the hot springs where the hot springs where you can eat boiled eggs, the price is 10 dollars 6. Falls ticket is 10 yuan / person, from the waterfall to the days hiking along the promenade side of the pool of tickets is 45 yuan / person. Our plan is from the gallery on the Heavenly Lake, and then the path from the day side of the pool to climb the main peak, finally walking down the mountain from the driveway so that you can save a North Slope on the peak of the inverted station transportation money.
After 40 minutes of climbing, we finally reached the Tianchi. Here we find the legendary trail Zhongtian scum can not be regarded as the route, but a large slope of about 70 degrees, the slope over the rocks and volcanic ash, normal people can not from here up to the main peak. We had to change his plan, still backtrack to the waterfall from the mouth, and from the waterfall I spend 10 dollars ride back to the athletes village, which is on the peak and the road to the Falls 2 fork junction.
Just arrived in the athlete's village, there is a uniformed police came to us and talk about on the peak of the chartered question asking price package a vehicle 300. Often billed as a look, is actually a police vehicle, the original station down here, apart from state-owned vehicle outside the police vehicle was also only allowed to move up the mountains, so police have to start a chartered business. Police vehicles, a police benefit is that you can stay in the sights along the way, are also considered value for money, but the price is too outrageous, and I and the police say OK to wait for other visitors with the chartered, and then into the athletes village, rest, eating lunch, while waiting to see if there is no partner who chartered Anyway, time is also very abundant.
Our athletes village, rest more than an hour to see if the time has come to 13:00, and went out again to ask the price of a bite the police uncle, the price became a chartered 200. OK, on the train.
Motors less than 20 minutes to the main peak, along a rather steep slope above the peak can be, and at the peak can be seen at the foot of more than 1000 meters at the Tianchi panorama. If the weather is fairly good, and not take down the car mountain station, and propose that we here to stay for some time, you can also walk along the cliff edge around to see different angles of Tianchi, another can also be found in front of me mentioned between the main peak to the day side of the pool that large slope, and from there boarded the peak although not, but the upper and lower peak Tianchi is feasible, so that a play to save time, you can also save from the waterfall on the waterfall and Tianchi tickets.
Bi peak travel is still down by police, down the way you can stay in the black draft and the viewing platform, because the wind is too great that day, the police worried about his uncle filled the air of the gravel will be scratched cars and we were very unfortunate and in black draft no chance, and later heard from other Mix said there were very exciting, braved strong winds, when the steps on the black vent very difficult, often wind back.
Back to the athletes village, because time is still early, we decided to walk to the Underground Forest. Underground Forest ticket office when nearly met an inverted stand down car, the car carrying two college students, we will soon reach an agreement and the driver, or to enjoy after the Underground Forest 20 yuan / person ride back to two towns. The driver helped us to buy discount tickets to the underground forest (5 yuan / person), the temporarily reverting to the mountains are hot springs bath then the two student companions.
Our party of four in the underground forest change for a long time to return the door when the weather getting late, the driver already waiting at the door, and several hot springs not wash, did not receive. So the driver master brings us back near the hot springs of small Tianchi, and so on while you play. Wait for two other hot springs of the students, the sky had been black, and immediately return to 2.
Back to the two later, we found a nearby private hotel, the name seems to call Fenglin Hotel, standard room 70 yuan / rooms, room clean up clean, and there is hot water bath to wash, quickly clean up what the wind Tokugura hair full of sand and gravel bar.
Cackle get up early, I'll look at the weather, was found over the whole town was heavy cloud cover the whole house was built solidly, do not know the situation Tianchi is how the perturbed mind of. Until Alto driver told us that today will be able to see the Heavenly Lake, this way, I put down the heart.
Alto 2 a quarter of an hour left after the hazy light of Changbai Mountains on the unexpected from time to time appeared in my field of vision, from here, looked, lush green and white gold in autumn forest, mountainside at the composition of white and ocher color of Erman's birch belt, alpine Department tawny tundra, and the vast expanse of whiteness of the frozen top of the hill are clear lessons to be learned this one went so far as can be seen two seasons of fall and winter in the world.
The entrance to the waterfall, follow the rumbling sound of the water and waterfalls flow down the formation of a stream up walking around a large bare Erman's birch forest after seeing Changbai Mountain Falls. Even in the fall of the dry season, waterfalls are spectacular still, even if we are on more than 100 meters away from the waterfall on the promenade, you can still feel the wind falling waterfall mist stirred up in his face. It is said that on his way up the mountain peak north slope of astronomical black draft, they may see the waterfall and river raft ride like a Silver Chain as presented in the mountains all the way toward the panoramic views of forests, but have to see the day when we Que Wu-fu, which can be considered Changbai trip to a small regret.
Piercing the mountain corridor, eyes suddenly see the light, the vast brown land, distant mountains of snow, Qinglie streams, which all people feel as if on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Gradually, the distant waters of that line is becoming increasingly clear, we are far from Tianchi nearer.
Embarked on a high-profile, like a long scroll of ink Tianchi, in our eyes started. I had thought of that moment they see Tianchi excited I would get called out, but when I stand here, when hearts are full of quiet, full of peace, there is a trace of a loss. Tianchi here has been asleep for a thousand years, was surrounded by peaks, snow-favorite, was Changbai be properly treasure up. Today, we seem to be accidental broke into this isolated corner of the moment Huangruogeshi, sinking, has been secular heart of contaminated dust all been washed silent. The Heavenly Lake is still asleep, totally ignores the two full of joy, full of pious people. Look - eyes only the scenery, listen to - ear only the water washed the shore.
Good a tranquil water, good a vast sky.
This is the loneliness of the Tianchi.
Wenfeng's car sitting in heaven, the driver and we chatted about the mountain on the North Slope over the years in the incidents and heard absolutely terrifying. One of the most tragic one was a big vehicle riding more than 50 passengers, because of brake failure, from the observation deck turned down a cliff near the passengers on board spared, since buses are not allowed up the mountain on the northern slope of Changbai Mountain in .
North Slope pull tourists up the mountain driving skills of drivers are terrible, and after numerous sharp turns, cars stopped at a meteorological station next to it. At this time the weather has become very bad, Kazamaki hit the sand face in our body. Along a steep slope, we have finally come to the top of the astronomical peak.
Peak at the tall rock, rock that is after the nearly 500-meter-high cliff. Here winds less masking, even more brazenly barreling visitors rickety boats, Jing Mei few people dare to erect near the edge of a cliff. Look under the cliff is actually heavy fog, where see what Tianchi. Earlier boarded the peak are too busy to return a batch of tourists had just boarded the peak is even more disappointed that matter to us.
At the peak stayed for a while, still do not see the true face of Tianchi in the wind and cold together with the attack, I am a little discouraged, and is planning to return to the car park when they suddenly saw the fog lifted a corner of the wind, Tianchi of the edge of sight. We are busy boarded a cliff top, waiting to pay their last respects to prepare an astronomical peak Tianchi style. I carefully close to the edge of a cliff, stuck your head out to one and saw the empty cliff in the fog of the cover under the bottomless, indeed, some terrible.
The original wind and fairly is our good fortune, less than 5 minutes, wind Bianjiang mist swept away, Tianchi gradually clear. Although we have not the first time I saw the Heavenly Lake, but the peak looking down things are entirely different, only the stunning still. Tianchi as extremely one gigantic, spotless sapphire, set in 16 peaks, the Shenzhan breathtaking blue intake. Peaks around the meticulous sketches the contours of the Tianchi extremely smooth, dark brown mountains, white snow, serene lakes, rolling clouds, Zhuang Zai, Yoshiya.
This is a carefully written Tianchi.
This is absolutely the Tianchi Yan.
Underground forest, is growing on cliffs 100 meters under the expanse of virgin forest.
To the underground path extremely rustic charm of the forest, stepping on the soft thick mosses in virgin forest, the walk through is no doubt a kind of enjoyment, but to be careful everywhere the forest by the earthquake shattered the land seam, one-foot wide, deep cracks may also be not bottomed.
When the foot of the cliff to reach the end of the road, the underground forest also is up. Kishishita a wide variety of trees in autumn Colorful dyed brilliant colors, so that I could not help lift the hands of the camera again and again.
Yu Bi underground forests, but also in the small Tianchi wait a moment, has an appointment with the off-road vehicles to pick us down the mountain, and there are four students in the same car. Back to the two drivers, for everyone after the dinner recommended restaurants, we are first out of the car, back to hotel take a break.
When dinner is not only faced down the mountain with the cars of students, we even come to White River with knowledge at which the train to Beijing Mix chance encounter, they may, and with our students in the same car today that has been well attended. If we were all backpackers, immediately fight tables, eating dog meat, tell stories, from different places of the eight young people who had never met before, because of Changbai Mountain and destined, one meal of dog meat to eat more than two hours, during which talk about Comedy, divided the foot.
