Yushan Mountain is not for climbing, but for walking
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, I climbed Yushan Mountain in Changshu City, Suzhou with my friends.
The southeastern foothills of Yushan Mountain extend into Changshu City. It is known as "Ten miles of green mountains half entering the city". It is 6.5 kilometers long, 3 kilometers wide and 263 meters above sea level. At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Zhongyong (Yu Zhong) of the Zhou tribe left his hometown and came to the south in order to give way to his younger brother. He was buried here after his death and was named after him.
The itinerary starts from Xingfu Zen Temple and walks northwest from the top of the mountain. After descending the mountain, follow the road back to the starting point.
In the teahouse at the foot of the mountain, tea drinkers gathered together.
There are almost all noodle shops in front of the mountain gate, and mushroom (xùn, a kind of mushroom) oil noodles are their signature noodles. There is a local pine mushroom, known as the "King of Vegetarians", and is a special delicacy here.
The taste of pine mushrooms is similar to matsutake or porcini mushrooms, the oil is rapeseed oil, and the noodles are similar to Kunshan Aozao noodles. Two bowls of mushroom noodles cost 70 yuan, a plate of boiled chicken costs 40 yuan, and a very simple lunch cost 110 yuan. Regardless of whether pine mushrooms can be king in the vegetarian world, the prices are indeed high.
During the epidemic, all temples on the mountain were closed to the public, so I was not able to visit Kofukuji Temple.
The mountain road is very gentle, leading straight to the top of the mountain. Going up the mountain is more like walking than climbing.
The scenery along the mountain road is mediocre and I don’t know what to take pictures of.
The top of the mountain is not high, so you can reach it accidentally. There are roads and buses here, and you can take them to various attractions. It is said that before the epidemic, you could drive in.
Many people walked to Guixiang Garden and asked the roadside shopkeeper what they were doing there. He said they were walking.
I didn’t have much expectations for the scenery of the garden, so I chose the main road next to Guixiang Garden. If the scenery is like this all the way, why bother to travel dozens of kilometers to see it here.
Fortunately, a tea garden appeared on the roadside in time, liberating the boring eyes.
I quickly arrived at the charging point. The 30 yuan includes several attractions. I only visited the Jianmen Scenic Area this time, and I didn’t have time to go to other places.
There are small shops in the Jianmen Scenic Area. Smell the smell of stinky tofu for free outside the door
Gu Jiange, when the leaves grow, it will definitely become a sight. The security pillars on the roadside and the KT boards above them are not very beautiful, and few people are willing to let them appear in the mirror.
The delicate yellow exterior wall of Zanghai Temple is so bright and cute. It is also due to the epidemic that the door is closed
How can anyone do this with the clumsy paintings on the wall? Appearing in the scenic area for people to enjoy and take photos as a souvenir?
Opposite the Zanghai Temple, you can overlook the Shanghu Scenic Area in the distance. The air visibility was a bit low that day
The yellow line on the road is the same color as the Zanghai Temple. Think of it as a line radiating from the temple. golden Buddha light. There are only Jiange and Zanghai Temple in the Jianmen Scenic Area. You can walk not far along this road and exit the scenic area.
Tourists studying tea trees on the roadside
The main road is really boring, so they follow others and turn into the small road
The small road gradually turns into a wild road
On the branches From time to time, I see the banners left by travel friends
Returning from the wild road to the right path
The blue color of the small lake under the cliff makes people feel peaceful
The sun is warm under the mountain It is also slanted, and the green of the tea garden and the red of the path are very vivid
Through the cover of the trees, you can start to see the village
In the villages in southern Jiangsu, every family builds their own villas, and they have their own villas at the door. Cars, a prosperous life
The houses in each house are very similar, some are almost identical, maybe the same drawings were used
The scenery when walking down the mountain is better than on the mountain. Along the way are tea gardens, Vegetable garden, pond and bamboo forest
A small park that also has a promotional role, where several nearby residents take a walk. The road down the mountain was very quiet, and only a few people who seemed to be tourists were seen.
White camellia, pure and beautiful
"What wind brought you out?"
The blue iron door is printed with "Military property, due to be taken back, The lease will not be renewed."
There are not many houses with chimneys here. I only saw this one still using firewood for cooking
I came to the starting point in the evening and said goodbye to my friends. .
The journey lasted about four hours and took more than 19,000 steps.
While looking for the toilet, we came to an open space with a wreath.
Going further up the mountain next to it is a cemetery. There is nothing to be afraid of alone here. Heaven and earth regard all things as stupid dogs, and people have feelings. When a family member dies, choosing this Feng Shui treasure land for a good burial is a reflection of warmth.
The sky will be over soon when you go down the mountain. Dark.
This trip to Yushan was not as good as expected. Maybe there is beautiful scenery but we just didn’t get to it? It’s great for locals to come and have fun, but it’s not cost-effective to come from afar.
