The first impression of Xi'an is that the people of Xi'an are very proud. From the airport to the urban area to the high-speed rail station to the scenic spot, you can feel the indifference of the locals all the way. It is hard to imagine that such a famous tourist city, humanistic construction will look like this.
The plane arrived one hour late. I arrived at the hotel at two o'clock in the morning. Because of the directions given by two "kind" taxi drivers, it was less than 5 minutes away from the airport bus drop-off point. I took a detour for 15 minutes. I really felt that it was unreliable, so I called the hotel front desk to "successfully" find it. Of course, I would use Gaode to navigate, but Gaode also bullied me at this time.
According to the strategy plan, get up at 6 a.m. and take the bus to the first stop, Xi'an City Wall. I have to say that during the bus ride, I first followed the impatient guidance from the hotel front desk and walked to the nearby bus stop. I looked at the stop sign and thought it was in the reverse direction. I walked to the opposite side and watched the route. I wanted to confirm with the pedestrians waiting for the bus. No one paid attention to me. When I got on the bus, I was lucky to have a mind and asked the driver, is it the "South Gate"? The driver said no, but I said it clearly said "South Gate". The driver said the words were like gold,"Not yet", got off the bus, and looked at the stop sign suspiciously. Somehow, with a flash of inspiration, I finally discovered the mystery. Xi'an's bus sign is read from right to left. The arrow is carefully on the bottom, and the sentence is written on the left. Okay, Xi'an, I have nothing to say. I silently walked back to the opposite side and got on the bus. The reason why I use so many words to explain this matter is that people who read the strategy will no longer be wronged. In Xi'an, you basically don't need to ask for directions, just read the map yourself.
When I got off the bus, I got directions from a kind sister (this was the first good person I met in Xi'an) and successfully reached the city wall. Before the opening time, I went to the nearby alley to eat the local people's breakfast. Diced beef and pork spicy soup + chopped green onion cake. The cake was directly filled with plastic blue cakes. For a person like me who has a slight cleanliness obsession, it was a bit difficult to accept. I didn't think it was particularly delicious, but I just felt that the flavor was very strong. Climb the city wall and rent a bicycle. The bicycle is operated by the city wall attractions. There is no arbitrary charge. It costs 45 yuan for 3 hours. I asked the car rental boy if half an hour is enough to ride the city wall (13 kilometers). The little boy said it would take at least 1 and a half hours. Okay, then I'll ride half a circle. I chose the most worthwhile direction of the city wall and set off by bicycle. It was really difficult to ride because they were all paved with stones and the tires jumped. However, riding a bicycle on the city wall and listening to the noisy voices below, stop from time to time, look through the notch of the city wall at the sparsely pedestrian street below, the morning vegetable market, and find a passerby to take a cool photo (Because it was earlier than the tour group, there were not many people in the scenic spots, so it was easy to take photos to find space and angle.) It seemed like the real world below, and I looked down on the various aspects of life from the sky beyond reality. It felt really good. When I left, I suddenly thought, was the original city of Xi'an so small? The city wall is more than 13 kilometers long, and the city and outside are so clear.
Take the bus to Huaqing Palace, take a stroll around the Terracotta Warriors, and the first day of the journey will be completed. Regarding these two places, based on the mentality that I have to visit here after finally buying a ticket, I can't say whether it's fun or not. Besides, tourists have already described it extensively, so I won't say much. They are nothing more than the place where Imperial Consort Yang took a bath in Huaqing Palace, the place where Lao Chiang was captured, and the outlet of the hot spring. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses lamented the brilliance of Qin Shi Huang, who could make each pottery terracotta warrior so vivid and vivid. It is worth mentioning that pomegranates in the scenic area are really cheap. You can buy a very big and good one for 1 yuan. Because I followed my usual thinking, I always thought that it would be cheaper in the urban area. Besides, it was not easy to carry, so I only bought two. Try them and wait until I return to the urban area to regret it. Everything is much more expensive than in the scenic area.
The destination of this trip-Huashan! Here I come...
At the foot of Huashan Mountain, looking up at the top of the mountain is almost like looking up at the sky. Wherever you can see, you feel a little beat in your heart. Can you climb up? Climb slowly. At worst, you can take the cableway down. No, you can't think like this. Once you have a way out, you will have no motivation. You must complete it on foot. Think about it, you will be proud to walk up and down. Come on! Come on!
About two kilometers into the mountain, it is a flat road made of small stones and cement. It has a slight slope, which is very strange. Is this the way to reach the top of the mountain? It seems that Shaanxi is full of stones, and there are no small pebbles like our south. When I reached the first step, I said that I had finally started climbing the mountain. The owner of the supply station next to the step followed, yes, this is the real beginning of the mountain. I asked how many kilometers it was to reach the top of the mountain, and I said it was 12.5 kilometers, 25 kilometers up and down. From the gate, it seemed that I had only traveled one-tenth of the way. Organize your equipment, tie your laces, put on your hood, take off your coat, shake your ambition, and continue to set out. Along the way, there were people walking up the mountain in twos and threes. Some were caught up with me, and some were caught up with me. There was always a group of people at the same speed. One moment you were in front, the next moment I was in front. These people were the targets of my conversation (because I had to find someone to take pictures for me, heh heh). Walking alone like me can easily arouse the admiration of others, and it is especially easy to chat. Moreover, I can see for myself that this equipment can be regarded as a powerful sight in this scenic spot. There are two old men who are going to walk up and down the mountain by cableway. Well, that's good. The older people can take care of people. Walking together. At the beginning, maybe they showed their manliness and walked faster than me, and lasted for 20 minutes. Haha, I can't do it. I've pulled it down, and I can't catch up. On the way, there were a man and a woman paired, two men paired together, and one man walked alone, but he didn't see a pure woman paired together or a single woman. There were people from Hebei, Henan, Hunan, and Jiangxi. We talked about how everyone got here and the customs and customs of various places. When we were tired, we encouraged each other, and we chatted all the way and then threw them all the way.
It is already early winter, and along the way, there are only the tempting mountain tip in the distance, large tracts of bare rocks, a few yellow-leafed ginkgo trees, and occasionally see red dates on the ground. I look up and get to know red jujube trees (now let me see, I still don't know jujube trees). In fact, it is a bleak scene, but we rarely have such large rocks and steep mountains in Zhejiang. For me, it has a magic that makes people yearn to worship. Just as some people say that the terracotta warriors and horses are charming, in my opinion, they are just a pile of clay figurines. Some people say that there is nothing to see about this kind of stone. To me, it just has a lot of charm for me to conquer.
I don't know how long it took, but when I reached it, it should be a dangerous place. It was called Qianchi Building, with a slope of 70 degrees and 3,000 steps. Moreover, your feet must be placed horizontally. Even if you put them horizontally, you can't put your feet on the whole! There are two upward and downward lines. I saw the downward line first when I went up the mountain. I became very ambitious and wanted to challenge the downward road to go up the mountain. Everyone else next to me chose to go up. In fact, I learned later that the upward road turned a corner and was as steep as the downward road. Fortunately, there are few tourists in the off-season, and not many people choose to walk down the mountain. Otherwise, it would be very uncivilized for me to do so because the road is narrow and it is difficult for a person to walk and carry a bag, and there is no intersection at all. In fact, it's easy to see, but when you actually walk, I'm still very afraid. If you're not careful, your foot falls short or your backpack grabs a stone, it's not as simple as rolling down. I finally finished with trepidation, and I breathed a sigh of relief, because someone above was looking at me and wanted to praise me, but they didn't dare to show their cowardice on the face. Besides, they were already here, so why should they show their cowardice, haha. After passing here, the road ahead has always been very steep. At most, the steps are larger and wider. There is a Hundred Foot Gorge, which should be a hundred steps. It is also steep and small. I think a local person is carrying something and walking backwards.
Along the way, I didn't stop much to replenish supplies. I always thought that the limited things in my bag would be kept for replenishment when they were most needed. I was also very lucky that I had a good weather, neither cold nor hot, and the temperature was just right (later it turned out that I was naive). Because I have experience in climbing mountains and know when to slow down and when to walk faster, I don't feel too tired. With six legs open, my speed is under control. In mountaineering, especially at high altitudes, uniform speed is important.
When we were almost at the top of the mountain, we started to snow seeds. Wow, I was so excited. I saw snow seeds. I took, took, took photos, and took videos. There were not many snow seeds. I was still waiting for the next gust of wind to leave more. I held up my mobile phone and waited to take photos! When you go higher, when you can see the crowd on the top of the mountain, the wind is already very strong, and the snow seeds are also falling denser. When you reach the top of Beifeng, it is already strong, and the snow seeds hit your face. It's not so fun anymore. It took 3.5 hours to climb the lowest peak-the North Peak, at an altitude of 1,614.7 meters. I can replenish my supplies and enjoy my big meal. Chocolate bread, melon seeds, and hot coffee to drink. Hahaha, these are my favorites. The strong wind blew snow seeds into my coffee cup across the counter, which was very emotional. Originally, I could have dinner under a big stone, a very romantic place, but there were too many people, and I was the most disdainful person to compete for territory with others, so I chose the shed at the supply station. According to the itinerary plan, it takes 9 to 10 hours to get up and down the mountain, only 3.5 hours to get up the mountain, about 1.5 hours to walk around the southeast, west and middle peaks, and 3 hours to get down the mountain, so you can have 1 hour to eat. After eating Chinese food leisurely, I realized that there was already thick snow outside. This was the unpredictable situation on the top of the mountain!
The wind was raging, and the snow was as dense as rain. As the wind blew, the ground was covered with accumulated snow. The exposed stone steps were no longer visible on the steps, but all were snow steps. Whether or not to leave and how to leave are topics that many people are discussing. I got involved with two boys from Anhui (who looked very young). They said that we would target Nanfeng (the highest peak) next. I said that I didn't dare to walk from the West Peak alone in this weather, so I would go to Nanfeng together. Let's go from the North Peak to other peaks. It was the same road at the beginning. Walking through a high slope, the wind seemed to be able to lift people up. I supported my climbing pole on the ground and blew the grounded end directly! If it weren't for the two of them, I think this place would have backed out. There is a supply station at the bend of the high slope. The two of them are eating Chinese food there. I reorganized my equipment and put on the kneepads. Everyone is buying rain ponchos. Although I carry them myself, I don't want to wear them because the assault vest can block the rain. Wearing rain ponchos will help the wind and easily affect the center of gravity. Continue to set off, pass a cave not far from the side, and you will reach the uphill slope. At the beginning of the steps, the staff dissuaded us and advised us to stop coming down. They said that it was already difficult to walk down (they had gone up before it snowed) and it was too dangerous to go up. After discussion, we didn't want to give up and decided to continue. I walked at the forefront and climbed about twenty or thirty steps, and they were still at the beginning of the steps. Looking up, the wind above was really scary. The top was bald and there was nothing to hide, just a swaying iron chain. I turned around and told them to forget it. Everyone agreed to return. Give up, for the precious life!
It's easier to go up the mountain than to go down the mountain. That's exactly right. Standing at the mouth of the cliff and looking down, it's so steep that it's really scary. If I hadn't already made an appointment to walk down the mountain, I might really turn back and take the cableway. Fear is actually just a psychological activity that lasts for dozens of seconds. When the first step is really taken, because you have to focus on the steps under your feet, you won't have time to look down, and you won't be so afraid. Young people naturally think that it is easy to go down the mountain. They walk briskly, but when they are halfway down the mountain, they lose their spirits. Their legs hurt. Haven't I told you that you should go down the mountain slowly, and climb the mountain at a constant speed! Arriving at the Qianchi Building where I went uphill retrograde, I chose that line because I didn't cross the upward line when going uphill and "drove in the reverse direction", hehe. It was over, someone came up from here. Seeing that there was no place to meet, I stopped and shouted,"Hey hey, wait for me, let me in the widest place." The people below agreed and reluctantly chose a place where two people could pass sideways. They said that it was difficult to go down the mountain and should let me go. You see, you met a good person (not from Xi'an!). After passing the Qianchi Building, the road behind it became much easier to walk. There were still people who went up the mountain to spend the night to watch the sunrise in twos and threes, but I never met anyone who walked down the mountain like us. Not far from the mountain gate, the snow was gone. I met a couple. It was already late. I advised them not to go up the mountain again. The snow was heavy ahead, and they insisted on moving forward. It seemed that they were as awesome as us. Seeing that they were empty-handed, I gave them the climbing pole that the young girl at the hotel front desk gave me. By the way, the young girl at the front desk of this hotel (Huayin Shijian) was one of the two good people I met in Xi'an. She smiled kindly and helped open the door, helped prepare boiling water, and asked where there was a hiking pole for sale. She gave me the hiking pole left by the guest, which made me feel very warm.
Free bus to Huayin City, there is plenty of time. Eat fried noodles in the small alleys of Huayin City (I no longer expect to eat rice in Xi'an), walk to the high-speed rail station and return to Xi'an. Look, I didn't spend a penny on transportation from Huashan Mountain to the high-speed rail station, haha. When I went up the mountain, I rode a free little electric donkey, received "guidance" from passers-by, and even spent 10 yuan for a taxi. I felt distressed!
Arriving at the hotel in downtown Xi'an, it was almost 10 o'clock and I really wanted to rest, but the front desk said that the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda are itself for watching the night view and are boring during the day. All right, keep checking in and taking a walk. This kind of purely tourist attraction is the kind of thing where "it's boring to arrive, but it's a pity not to go". Find a passerby to take a few photos and take a taxi back to the hotel. Get up early the next day, find a local Internet celebrity shop and eat a bowl of specialty halal mutton steamed buns. This was the most luxurious meal I had in Xi'an. It was 38 yuan a bowl. I ate it upside down. I admit that I was reluctant to waste that price. Besides, so many people I met warned me not to go to Huimin Street to eat delicious food. I had to fill it up here first to resist the temptation. The steamed buns in this shop have to be torn by hand because I don't know how to tear them, and the clerk didn't tell me. I was even laughed at by the chef who cooked mutton soup. It was so embarrassing, and the people of AlaNingbo don't know how to eat them. The Bell Tower and Drum Tower are all next to the hotel. The appearance will be fine for a one-time visit. It is not a waste of tickets. Buy some local specialties on Huimin Street, and there is an airport bus stop next to it. It is very convenient to go home.
Huashan, I will come again. It will take 10 hours to hike up and down. After I complete the five mountains, I will come again to conquer you!
Xi'an's specialty-Camellia oleifera is not tea, porridge is not rice, I want to eat rice, sorry, no!
