Waiting for a sunrise on Xianggong Mountain, looking for the world-class Guilin landscape

Suddenly I was tired of the hustle and bustle of city life on a weekend early morning and tired of the two points and one line of city life. On a weekend in September, I booked an escape ticket and went to the mountains and rivers to release the depression in my heart. Perhaps she was willful and willful, yearning for unknown points and experiencing more unknown scenery in Guilin. She was not as magnificent as other rivers and mountains, but her beauty was indeed unique in style.

At 4:30 on the fifth watch day, the latest night performance in the city had just dissipated. Before the starry dawn, we set off for Xianggong Mountain to wait for a sunrise and witness the early morning in Guilin. Climbing to the top of the mountain, in the dark, another ray of red light overflowed from the connection between the water and the sky. The light blue morning was suddenly dyed golden by the rising sun. The soft sunshine shone through the mist on the mountains and rivers, giving a kind of Inexpressible elegance.

If Guilin is the most beautiful jade plate in the mountains and rivers, then the Yangshuo section of the Li River is the most crystal sapphire in this jade plate. Its body is inlaid with bright pearls. The sky before dawn was still as light blue. Watching the light blue morning slowly turn into dazzling gold, wisps of red glow appeared on the eastern horizon, from dark to light, and the morning glow filled the sky in an instant.

Only when mountains have water can they have souls. Mountains without water are like people without eyes and lack a kind of aura; I don't know whether Guilin's mountains guard the water of the Li River, or whether the water of the Li River is attached to Guilin's mountains. If Guilin's mountains are the shape of Guilin, then the water of the Li River is the soul of Guilin, and Guilin is the unity of mountains and water, and the fusion of shape and soul.

The sun slowly broke through the encirclement and appeared at the other end of the mountain peak, dyeing the distant mountain peak with dazzling golden light. The sun before sunrise could not penetrate the layers of mountain peaks, and was shrouded in the morning fog. It became a picturesque scenery.

At sunrise, the rivers and mountains are filled with gauze mist. The morning light shines on and the clouds flow. The mountains in the distance are constantly changing in color. The mountains in Yangshuo are more elegant than the mountains in Guilin, because they are not just bare stone mountains, but are covered with lush green plants, and the green green mountains become more charming.

The scenery of the Li River is not just a few points. Its beauty is continuous. It is the reflection of the fusion of mountains and rivers, the endless changes of light and shadow, and the sublimation of smoke and fog. The Li River is as horizontal as a mirror, and the peaks on both sides of the river are stacked. The existence of villages adds the atmosphere of fireworks to this landscape scroll.

I don't know when I started, but I like to welcome the first ray of sunshine in a city, watch the sunrise, take pictures of the sunrise, watch the beauty of the rising sun jumping out of the clouds, feel the temperature at the sunrise, and the appearance of the earth just waking up.

In summer, Yangshuo lacks the feeling of a fairyland surrounded by clouds and mist, but the mountains are like shadows. The thin morning fog and the rising sun are the best gifts to the mountains and rivers in the morning. The mountains are stacked on the Li River. The jade belt winds through, painting in the scenery, and the scenery in the painting.

You must be in time to go to Xianggong Mountain to see the sunrise, otherwise you can only stand behind the crowd. The small observation deck has four floors in total. Personal advice is to go to the highest floor and wait for the sunrise. After the sunrise, you can enjoy different scenery from different angles.

The hills in Yangshuo are not too high. The natural karst landform has countless mountains rising from the ground, independent and unique. They are not as continuous and winding as the mountains in other areas. This kind of scattered peak forests form a unique perspective. Evergreen all year round, the mountains and clear waters around the mountains, there is always a kind of enjoyment like a paradise.

The winding Li River turns around here and looks back, showing its graceful figure among the mountains. Surrounded by the river is Xingping Town, a famous ancient town in Yangshuo. You can see the first bend on Xianggong Mountain. If you want to take a panoramic view, you really need to come early to seize a good position and equip it with a wide-angle lens.

I don't know why Xianggong Mountain is called Xianggong Mountain. I listen to the little girl next to me asking why Xianggong Mountain is not given to Xianggong... I don't know about these issues. I just know that there is the most beautiful sunrise in Yangshuo, and the water of the Li River flows quietly. When the morning light is scattered among the mountains, the smoke from the villages not far away is the most beautiful picture here.

Living in the mountains and rivers, although I am far away from the hustle and bustle, I am not far away from the delicious food. Although there are no shops in the village, the pot of local chicken soup in the inn is still unforgettable for me now. This may be what pastoral life and pastoral travel look like. The delicacy of local chickens can only be tasted in the countryside.

In Guilin's delicacies, in addition to the eternal rice noodles, the field snail brew is also a delicacy that I will never forget. The field snail brew requires picking out the field snail meat with toothpicks, processing it, mixing it with moderately fat and lean minced meat, marinating it, adding ingredients, and mixing The filling is stuffed back into the field snail shell; then add side dishes and soup and stir-fry it until done.
