"It's chilly early in autumn, but it's hot in late autumn." Recently, the temperature in Sichuan has risen, and there is no doubt that it will usher in a "extremely dry" autumn tiger after the beginning of autumn. The scorching heat is unbearable. At the end of summer, I had to travel leisurely in the mountains with my family to escape the heat. When it comes to summer resorts, people often think of Qingcheng Mountain and Emei Mountain, these two immortal mountains. Some people prefer Tiantai Mountain and Jiuhuang Mountain as "amusement park"-style summer resorts. However, smart and elegant people often choose the famous mountain "Mengding Mountain" in Western Shu, which is not arrogant. After telling the reason, everyone flocked to it.

Mengding Mountain is located between Yucheng District and Mingshan District in Ya 'an,"Tianlou", 2 hours away from Chengdu. It is one of the three famous mountains in Sichuan. This mountain is surrounded by five peaks, shaped like lotus flowers. The mountains are towering, the peaks are beautiful, the ravines are flying and waterfalls are flying, and the clouds and fog are thick, making it picturesque. The highest peak is 1456 meters above sea level, with an average annual temperature of 15℃ and an average summer temperature of 23℃, making it cool and pleasant. Here, you look up at the high wind and the bleak scenery; overlooking the Qiang water circulating and surrounded by mountains; the ancient temples in tea beds, with strange flowers and stones, making it a wonderful place. Mengshan is the most suitable place to drink tea in summer.

3D viewing platform with the lowest altitude in Xishu

Everyone knows that Mengding Mountain has fairy tea, but they also have an excellent 180-degree viewing platform. Next to Mengding Mountain Cableway Station, there is a two-story viewing platform. From here, you can overlook the beautiful city of Ya 'an's Yucheng District and famous mountainous areas, and you can overlook the majestic Emei, Wawu, and Zhougong Mountains. Watch the sunrise in the east and the sunset in the west. Enjoy the sun and smell the water, and watch the clouds in the rain and dream.

At dawn, the sunrise and the forest is blooming, the clouds return and the buildings are bright. In an instant, the golden light diffused, red clouds floated, and mountains were rolling. There were also spiritual birds bathing in the soft light of the rising sun. The valleys and ravines are shrouded in clouds, the high-rise buildings are covered with clouds, and the vast sky is full of colorful colors. The summit of Mengshan is extraordinarily enchanting.

The golden sun shines in the sky, and the white clouds follow the blue sky. Looking east, you can see the plains and plains, winding and undulating, and the streams are crisscrossed, as beautiful as poetry and painting. Suddenly, black clouds pressed on the city, and the scorching sun disappeared without a trace. The drizzle fell continuously, and the green mountains were shrouded in mist. Clouds and clouds are ethereal, now a fairyland.

At night, the sun set on the horizon, and the mountains were covered with a thin layer of blush, like a shy girl. The white clouds wandering in the blue sky are also inlaid with lace like orange leaves and red as fire, transforming into a magnificent sunset; gradually they return to white again, like the wings of an angel. As the sun sets in the west, you can catch a glimpse of the lights in Ya 'an and Mingshan. The lights of thousands of homes are like stars, like the vast Milky Way, beautiful.

Talking about tea ceremony and carefully tasting fairy tea

"Water in the Yangtze River, tea in Mengding Mountain." In one word, Mengding Mountain is famous for its tea. More than 2,000 years ago, Taoist Ganlu, the ancestor of tea planting, domesticated and planted wild tea trees in Mengding, pioneering the artificial cultivation of tea. After generations of maintenance, Mengding Mountain "Fairy Tea" has been achieved that can cure diseases. Therefore, Mengshan is known as the "Hometown of Fairy Tea".

Mengding Mountain is the earliest place in my country where there is written record of artificially growing tea, and it is also one of the birthplaces of China's tea planting industry and tea culture. The poem says,"Shu soil tea is sacred, but Mengshan taste is unique." The blessings and elegant rain moistens them, and Mengding Mountain produces good tea, making it the best in Sichuan. From the Tang Dynasty to the present, for thousands of years, Mengding Mountain has paid tribute to tea and paid tribute every year. Tribute tea came from the seven fairy tea trees in the five Mengdeng Mountains, and was later dominated by stone railings, becoming the "Imperial Tea Garden" that remains today.

With the prosperity of tea drinking, teahouses, tea banquets, tea parties, and tea ceremonies have appeared one after another. Our country is a country of etiquette. Since ancient times, guests have come to offer tea. The rapid spread and popularization of tea culture gave birth to the birth of tea ceremony, tea ceremony, tea art and tea technology. I heard that the tea ceremony culture that is now popular in Japan originated in Mengding Mountain.

A cup of green tea does not seek to amaze time, but only wants to be gentle. Mengding Mountain Tea Road is famous all over the world for its unique "skills and art" Mengshan tea techniques,"Twelve Tianfeng Products" and "Eighteen Dragon Strikes". It combines hardness and softness, combines dynamic and dynamic, and coexists with boldness and elegance. It is known as "two milestones in Chinese tea culture and art." Nowadays, you can still see the exquisite interpretation of the "Eighteen Dragon Strikes" in the tea shop in Tiangai Temple. Moreover, he could also learn to "order tea and burn incense" with tea artists. Through ancient times, he could learn that the daughters of the aristocratic families practiced tea ceremony. Taste the sweetness of Mengshan Qingcha, full of elegance and fun.

Tea ridge ancient temples, thousand-year-old ginkgo forest guard each other

"Step on the snowy mountains and enter the tea beds through the stone path. The clouds are deep and there are no traces of customs, and the springs and valleys have the opportunity to Zen. Spiritual tea leans against the ancient temple, and immortal bamboo leans against the ladder." Looking from west to east, you can see the tea gardens piled with green peaks, surging green waves, and beautiful green trees, which is spectacular. In the lush green forest of the tea garden, the ancient temple is hidden with red walls and Buddhist temples. There is a touch of red in the hundreds of acres of green, with a unique flavor.

Tiangai Temple at the foot of the five peaks of Mengshan Mountain is one of the few ancient temples in my country where "tea" is used to enter Zen. The statue of Master Ganlu is enshrined here, and the huge tea cauldron in front of the temple is particularly eye-catching. Behind the temple stands a poetry stele and elegant literature, winding paths into the fairy tea garden and the Ganlu wellhead. Surrounded by thousand-year-old ginkgo trees in front of the temple, it stands tall and covers the sun, like the land of the Wizard of Oz. The 100-meter suspension bridge beside the temple stands across the canyon, connecting the two mountains, like a golden link.

Yongxing Temple on the west side of Mengshan Mountain is a thousand-year-old temple with carved railings and painted buildings. The ginkgo trees in the sky cover a corner of the ancient temple. The stone carving of the mountain gate has nine dragons winding around it, and the unicorn embossed stands right and left, meaning to watch the temple beast. The entire ancient temple hangs from the mountain with double eaves and is made of whole stone, making it unique. Everything in the temple is still and the Sanskrit sound is lingering. There are countless precious flowers and strange trees. The mountain breeze is gentle and the fragrance is fragrant.

Tracing back the ancient and modern tea culture and keeping in mind the red spirit

At the top of Mengding Mountain, the Red Army Battle Memorial Hall stands. This was once the former site of Tianzhu Yuan on Mengding Mountain, but later became the headquarters of the Red Army's Battle of Baizhuangguan during the Red Revolution. In order to remember this legendary past, posterity renovated the memorial hall here. Outside the museum, there are ancient trees and pine trees, and the tea garden is verdant. The museum displays war documents and materials as well as some artifacts from the war period. Walking into the memorial hall is like visiting the battlefield in person and feeling the same way. Wear straw sandals and military uniforms, experience the hardships of the revolution, remember history, and inherit the red spirit.

When you come to Mengding Mountain, which is shrouded in rain and fog, you can not only enjoy the tranquility of Zen tea, but also feel the joy of walking in the clouds. Next to the Baizhuangguan Battle Memorial Hall, laughter could be heard from time to time. This is a tree-crown walk that is very popular among parents and children. It is reported that the canopy walking on Mengding Mountain began in August 2015 and is the earliest scenic spot in Sichuan to introduce jungle entertainment projects.

Walk comfortably among the verdant and rich tree roofs as if walking on flat ground, use speed and passion to solidify your body and mind, and shuttle through the woods. Above the head are towering trees, and below the foot is an endless jungle. In an instant, you can be as relaxed as a bird, jumping on every branch or soaring above the iron chain. Stop one step and leap one step, just like the rhythm of a musical scale on a staff.

Smell the aroma of tea and taste the delicacies of the mountains and forests

Mengding Mountain, with a mild climate, is not only rich in fairy tea, but also a place where mountains and forests gather delicious food. Roasted fish with tea aroma, delicious bacon with wild fungi, spicy pepper chicken, crispy and delicious saltwater bamboo shoots... It is delicious and has endless aftertaste. After dinner, come back to a bowl of Mengding Mountain tea. Happiness seems like a fairy.

"After July and a half, it will be the Iron Arhat." At the end of the battle of wisdom, the autumn tiger is better than drinking cola and eating watermelon in the air-conditioned room. It is better to call friends, bring your family and bring your mouth to Mengding Mountain at 23℃, to enjoy the tranquility of the famous mountains, taste the sweetness of fairy tea, and enjoy the air conditioning of the forest constant temperature. Escape from the city and have a cool summer.
