Take the Xifeng Cableway up Mount Huashan
There were not many people during the week, so I decided to go to Huashan to have a look. Take the scenic tour bus and circle up from Wengyu, and it takes nearly an hour to reach the Huashan Xifeng Cableway parking lot.
Pass through the tall archway of "Taihua Scenic Spot", continue up the steps, pass the "Tianwei Jiji" archway, and arrive at the entrance of the ropeway. "The power of heaven is so close" means that the majesty of the emperor is right in front of you. The original archway stands in the Xiyue Temple in Huayin City at the foot of Huashan Mountain. The cableway entrance is a replica.
Huashan Mountain has been a road since ancient times. Since the construction of the Beifeng Cableway, it has become more convenient to go up Huashan Mountain. There are two ways to choose from. After the Xifeng Cableway came into operation in 2013, there was a third way up Mount Huashan. The Xifeng Cableway, also known as the Taihua Cableway, is the world's first single-line circular detachable cableway that adopts a tunnel station excavated from the cliff, an undulating trend, and an intermediate station. A total investment of more than 500 million yuan was invested in its construction. It was built by Shaanxi It is jointly operated and managed by Tourism Group Company, Huashan Management Committee and Shaanxi Coal Chemical Group. The ropeway equipment was imported from French Poma Company, and the overall safety and operation system adopts the most cutting-edge passenger ropeway technology. The lower station of the ropeway is located at the entrance of Donggou Nei in Wengyu, the middle station is located at Baique Temple in Xianyu, and the upper station is located in the cliff cave on the south side of Julingzu, West Peak of Huashan Mountain. The cableway line has a diagonal length of 4211 meters, a relative height difference of 894 meters, 28 brackets, 84 passenger cabins, the distance between the cabins is 115 meters, each cabin can accommodate 8 people, the maximum operating speed is 6 meters per second, and the one-way transport capacity is 1500 Person/hour.
It was a Friday and it was early winter, so there should not be many people. However, when we arrived at the entrance, there was a long queue. We waited for more than an hour before we boarded the transparent compartment. Riding the Huashan West Peak Cableway, you will be lifted up gradually, flying in the air, as if you are in a dream, a ladder in the sky, and birds flying happily. Sitting in the almost completely transparent cable car, overlooking the wonders of Huashan Mountain's cliffs and natural dangers, with a straight up and down W" undulating direction, a relative height difference of 894 meters, the enjoyment of multiple visual senses is unbelievable. Should we savor the thrills or enjoy the unparalleled beauty of the mountain?
No wonder, no travel, no surprises, no excitement. The Xifeng Cableway enters from the west side of Huashan and sees a " There has never been a "new Mount Huashan". In the past, the perspective of facing Mount Huashan from the north was changed to looking at Mount Huashan from the west. The "image of Mount Huashan" surrounded by the three peaks in the east, south and west has become a new picture. This is what before. There is a "Qihua Mountain" that tourists will never see, and along the way, landscapes such as "San Gongwang Mountain", "Phoenix Spreading Wings", "Hehe Erxian", "Golden Turtle and Jade Toad", "Jade Belt Fairy" and "Lion Crossing the Sea" pass right in front of you. , not to mention the blooming lotus in the independent heaven, the Luoyan Tianchi that can reach the clouds, and the blast furnace alchemy Xifeng cableway that shows off the clouds, which has opened up a new path for Huashan tourism, adding many unique and beautiful landscapes, giving You are a "Xinhua Mountain", allowing you to experience a novel experience that you have never had before.
On this day, you are lucky. There is a strong wind of level 6-7 on the mountain. Sitting in the cabin, hanging in the air. We were already feeling shaken. When we were about to reach Xifeng, the scenic area management department informed us that the Xifeng cableway had stopped operating due to strong winds.
We got off the cableway, crossed the tunnel, and entered the Xifeng scenic area. The weather was fine and the air was fresh. People suddenly feel enlightened. Although the trees are falling in winter, the pine forests on the mountain are lush and green, and there is no sense of desolation. Due to the strong wind, there are few tourists on the top of the mountain, and I only go up to the west peak, south peak, and middle peak, and then go down to the north peak. Walking along the cableway.
The Taihua cableway leads to the ninth level of the sky.
Sitting there, my sleeves are filled with the wind, and my chest is full of energy while singing high. > Although the beauty is still there when you first taste it, the feeling of despondency becomes stronger when you taste it again.
Don’t regret that you didn’t get the view, only to realize that you were too calm.
