There is an exposed mountain in Weiyuan, three feet and three feet from the sky
? Just like everyone has a desire to climb a peak hidden in their heart, climbing Mount Luogu has always been my first desire and goal to conquer heights!
On the 16th day of the fifth lunar month in the Year of 1898, 15 of our classmates and friends met in Yaochuan Town and prepared supplies (one meat pancake and two bottles of water for each person) , one by one, gearing up to start the journey to conquer Lugu Mountain.
? The car started from Huichuan Town and drove towards Minzhou. The newly built 212 National Highway is spacious and bright. The alpine meadows beside the left-hand river dam are rich in water and grass, and groups of cattle and sheep eat leisurely. Take a walk on the grass; the right hand side is lush with trees, a mixture of low shrubs and tall trees, and the exposed rocks of the mountains in the distance are like bones. I think that is the destination - Lugu Mountain.
? Mumatan (Shuichuangyan) is the intersection into the mountain. It is said to be an intersection, but in fact there is no road. It is just a trail trodden by cattle and sheep. Along the road are plantain, burdock, and wild chrysanthemums. Although it is not as graceful and gorgeous as the peonies and peonies, it is still full of flowers, especially the yellow Gesang flowers (commonly known as eight-petal plum) dotted throughout the period. The dots are really beautiful. Although the flowers growing wild in mountain streams and rivers are not as uniform as those in the garden, the natural bursts of greenery are enough to prove the exuberance of life. ``For whom do the wild flowers on the mountain bloom and for whom do they fail? Quietly waiting to see if someone can pick them. `` Tian Zhen's wild flower song has been heard for a long time. Today I finally saw your blooming, but I can't bear to pick any of them. Let you quietly guard the southeast, northwest and northwest of Lugu Mountain!
90 minutes later, we arrived at Banling, which is estimated to be the watershed between Weiyuan and Zhangxian. The north of the mountain belongs to the Tao River Basin, and the south of the mountain belongs to the Zhang River Basin. The Tao River flows all the way north to Liujiaxia and joins the Yellow River. The team traveled eastward along the Zhanghe River and joined hands with the Weihe River to gallop thousands of miles. They also fell into the embrace of the Yellow River at Tongguan, and finally ended up with the same destination. These two divergent rivers not only nourished thousands of households along the way, but also gave birth to all-powerful heroes and beauties, Dong Zhuo of Zhang County and Diao Chan of Lintao. I'm thinking that if there were no separation between Lugu Mountain, the Zhangtao River would not be formed, and perhaps Dong Zhuo and Diao Chan would not be raised. The story of the Three Kingdoms might lack a wonderful chapter, so the three feet away from the sky Exposed Mountain is also a mountain of meritorious service. Of course, there are no ifs in the world, only results. Hurry up to the top and have a glimpse of the beauty of Lugu Mountain. The purpose of today is to see the creation of nature and the arrangement of this world's landscape. Thinking like this, we quickened our pace, followed the ridge, climbed over Nangou Mountain, descended to Yinpodai, and crossed Wuminggou. The four people in front of us had already reached the foot of the main peak, and then we started climbing the main peak.
? It was too late to appreciate the majesty of the snow-capped mountains. Without the Internet, I could not Baidu the colorful and nameless flowers and plants. I was attracted by the irregular wasteland on the hillside. It stands to reason that the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and farmers are not able to see them. How could wasteland be opened up when few people came? It’s true that curiosity killed the cat. If you don’t ask, you won’t know. If you ask, you will be shocked! Lawyer Si explained that the Lugu Mountain area has high mountains and long roads, and is home to many ethnic groups. It has been the boundary between three continents and six counties since ancient times. It is far away from the administrative center and is far away from management. The criminals adapted to local conditions and opened up patches of wasteland to grow opium poppies. The land was later seized by the government, and highly toxic pesticides were applied to the land. Within ten years, no grass could grow. It seems that the battle between this generation of drugs and anti-drugs is still fierce. No wonder there are so many anti-drug slogans on both sides of the nearby roads and in front of and behind the houses.
? At the foot of the main peak is an alpine meadow, nourished by melted water from snow-capped mountains and rich in water and grass. Naturally, it has become the favorite of horses, yaks, and sheep. They are either in groups or alone, scattered on the hillside, leisurely and leisurely. In their Garden of Eden, they live a paradise life. Thinking like this, I can't help but feel a bit jealous. Although the city wrapped in steel and concrete is colorful, it lacks the essence of life. Although there are sensual dogs and horses, it lacks the dreams and years of life. A mountain is a piece of scenery, and a mountain protects a living being. This is true.
? It’s time to give a formal introduction to Exposed Mountain, before officially climbing to the summit.
? Lugu Mountain is located 35 kilometers southeast of Weiyuan County. It is the boundary mountain between Weiyuan, Zhangxian and Zhuoni. It belongs to the remnants of the West Qinling Mountains, with an altitude of 3941 meters, ranking highest in the Dingxi region. Lugu Mountain is 5 kilometers long from east to west and 3 kilometers wide from north to south. Within a radius of 15 square kilometers, peaks rise, cliffs stand, and rocks are rugged and shaped like skeletons. From a distance, it looks like a sheet of silvery white bones, hence the name Lugu Mountain. And because of the extremely high altitude, the peak reaches the clouds, which is unavailable all year round except midsummer. It is covered with snow and ice most of the time, and is also known as the Snow Mountain Prince. He is the vanguard sent to the front line from the snow-covered plateau, guarding the forefront of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, facing the Loess Plateau across the Taowei River. It is also the transition zone from the mid-temperate zone to the Qinghai-Tibet alpine zone, and from the semi-arid zone to the semi-humid zone. It has a unique ecology and rich products. Alpine rhododendrons, yellow-tip willows, and a variety of valuable wild Chinese medicinal materials such as dangshen, fritillary, and cordyceps are scattered throughout the mountains. Rare wild animals such as blue-eared pheasants, sika deers, and leopards inhabit the mountains. Since ancient times, it has been a sacred mountain revered by people in Weiyuan and a paradise for animals and plants.
? Although the mountains are not high, if there are immortals, they will be famous; if the water is not deep, if there are dragons, they will be spiritual.
Lugu Mountain, which is located in a corner, is attracting more and more people to explore, climb and conquer because of its dangerousness, towering and unexplored nature. However, the way to the main peak is extremely difficult, because there is no road at all under your feet. You can only visually check the direction and head towards the relatively gentle mountain side. The guide says that if you don’t go through the loquat forest, you have to walk to the left of the loquat forest. However, looking around, there are still loquat forests on the left and left. There is no way. If we want to reach the top, we have to force our way through the loquat forest. Everyone hunched over and pushed aside the thorny branches with their bare hands. It took half an hour to get through the forest. I have always wondered if I had made a mistake. Loquat is a subtropical plant. How can it be found in the alpine regions of Qinghai-Tibet? Maybe it’s another plant that the locals call loquat! However, when I faced the loquat leaves that resembled a pipa, and I had actually seen a loquat tree, I realized that this plant called the loquat forest was indeed a loquat tree. Nature is so magical. Only by visiting it in person can you believe it. Only by practicing more can you learn more.
? After passing through the loquat forest, the mountain peak is already in front of you. It takes half ninety to walk a hundred miles. This is on flat ground. If it is in the mountains, I am afraid it has to be changed to half ninety to walk a hundred miles. Nineteen, because every remaining step will test the climber's confidence and endurance. Fortunately, due to the falling rocks and flowing water, a rolling stone road was paved intermittently along the ditch. Walking on it was relatively easy. The teammates cheered and joked that this was the highway of the exposed mountain.
? Climbing further up, the slope becomes steeper. The rotten plants under the feet have accumulated over time and are about a foot thick. When you step on them, they are extremely soft, as if you are about to sink in. We didn't dare to be careless. Some people broke off a piece of dead wood and used it as a crutch to support their bodies; some people used their hands and feet together, lowered their center of gravity, and supported themselves with their hands to move forward reluctantly. Looking back, I saw that the climbing team had scattered into a broken line. The five of us at the front were also out of breath. We found a big stone, sat on the ground, took out dry food meat buns, and replenished our energy one by one. Due to the interruption of the communication signal, we knew nothing about the conditions of the team members behind us, so we could only communicate with each other by roaring. The team members behind us seemed to have heard the signal we sent, and roared back. For a while, the roars were everywhere, soul-stirring, and we were the only ones in the valley. The voice and echo are truly "the basic basis of communication is roaring".
? The weather in the mountains can change at any time. It was sunny just now, but within one meal (actually it was just a meal of flatbread), it was already covered with dark clouds, the peaks were gone, and the ravines were gone. , the visibility was only about five meters, and the whole world seemed to be in chaos. If you can't see the direction clearly, it will be even more difficult to climb the mountain. To say the least, even if everyone climbs to the top and the fog is thick, what will they see? Just when everyone decided to turn back, Dr. Zhao's words pulled everyone back. He said: "It's a bit of a pity that I didn't reach the top after climbing to this place". Why not? There are several people who have climbed such a mountain in their lives. If they give up this time, they may not be able to climb it in this life. God seems to want to help us. A breeze blows by, and the thick fog disappears in an instant. The blue sky and abrupt peaks are waving to us again. Climb up, we must climb up! The five people regained their strength, encouraged each other, and finally reached the top.
? Not afraid of the floating clouds covering your eyes, because you are at the highest level. The peak that was just out of reach has now been stepped on by the brave. Looking back, the winding National Highway 212 leads into the distance like a dragon. The rolling mountains lift up the exposed mountain like stars over the moon. The mountain is as high as a peak. We are already standing in the clouds at 3941 meters. I believe that most people will never be able to climb a mountain at this altitude in their lifetime. It’s not that they can’t, but that they are afraid. When you are young, you are afraid of danger, when you are old, you have no physical strength, and when you are the best age, you are kidnapped by time and career. Unless you are a professional expedition team or someone like Wang Shi who has achieved financial freedom early, ordinary people can only look at the mountains and sigh. . However, everyone actually has a mountaineering dream in their heart. How big the dream is, how high the mountain is, and how broad the heart is. I am honored that today we can reach the first peak in our minds.
? Like other mountain peaks, the top of Lugu Mountain is not an independent peak, but all the peaks show together. The peak seen at the bottom of the mountain is actually just the third child of Lugu Mountain, with the second child and the eldest child still hiding in the background. The cols between the peaks are relatively flat, and there are trails trodden by cattle and sheep, making it easy to walk. Except for the alpine rhododendrons that are about to wither, there are clusters of miniature pine and fir trees scattered on the mountain. The rest are wild flowers and pastures. The scenery of plants and flowers is far less brilliant than that down the mountain. However, when God closes a door, he will also open a window. After years of tempering, carving by the sun and the moon, the moss traces on the stones have transformed into the master's ink paintings, standing on the top of the mountain, and everyone vividly calls them For "Stone Flowers", if we want to select the four wonders of Lugu Mountain, I think "Stone Flowers" must be one of them. This naturally formed free and easy, complementing the abruptness of the peak, is magnificent and unparalleled!
? Time flies by between your fingers, and the mist flows under your feet. After touching all sides of Lugu Mountain, I didn’t dare to stop any longer. With the beautiful scenery and looking up to the sky, I reluctantly ended the adventure trip of Lugu Mountain and headed back home.

Fifteen days left when we started, four and three are left by now
Dong Zhuo and Diao Chan are at the top of the peak where good fortune gathers
My heart is relaxed with the clouds, and my eyes are looking towards Chang'an
