White prose
Different places may have different names for waterfalls. As far as I know, there are three kinds.
In my hometown, there is a group of waterfalls composed of five links, called Wuxie, and each suspended waterfall is called Xie Yi. People who have heard of it say it's beautiful! But I haven't been there, so when friends from other places know a little about place names ask me, it's really a bit difficult to answer. Dalong Waterfall and Qiu Xiaolong are also two waterfalls, but they are not connected in series. They are one of the most important scenic spots on Yandang Mountain, especially Dalong Waterfall, which ranks first among the three wonders of Yandang Mountain in "Yi Long 2010". There are great travel advertisements in Wenzhou Railway Station Square. When I was working in Yueqing, I once planned to travel, but it didn't come true. Baizhang Mine is also a series of waterfalls, namely Baizhang Mine, No.2 Mine and No.3 Mine. When I was working in Wencheng Waterworks, I got an excellent opportunity, so I decided to have a look.
Turn right at the end of Tiandinghu Dam, and there is a relatively open field, which seems to be opened in the mountains, and it is going to be a parking lot for future scenic spots. Not far from the starting point, there is a new pavilion built with white stone. After this pavilion, all the stone steps are as narrow and steep as ladders. It seems that the aunt of the bamboo shed shop on the bank of Tianding Lake is right.
I walked many stone steps in the mountains. I don't know how many steps I have to climb to reach the Yan Dou scenic spot in our town, but this is the first time I have encountered such a difficult walk. The stone steps here are a bit like the stairs in and out of the unit building. Although it's not a 180 degree turn, there are many turns, and you have to turn every ten gears. If they spin too much, their heads will get a little dizzy. In dangerous places, the cliffs on both sides form an oblique "Z" shape, and between pitching, people feel cold in the back. To take such a step, you must be extremely focused on your mind, and you will be in danger of rolling in the deep if you are not careful. The peaks and valleys around here are very tall and beautiful, with cliffs, convex rocks and pen peaks, which are grotesque and loose, but you can't walk and watch, you can only stand still and look around.
The real entrance is on the mountainside, a skylight. To say its sinister degree, I am afraid that only the "window" in the movie "Take Huashan" can compare with it. I bought a ticket outside the skylight and came down from the window carefully. Then I realized that the stone steps just now were not the hardest to walk. The width of the left and right sides is obviously smaller, and there is no space on the side facing the air, so that the iron railing has to stop. I work in a construction site, and after seeing the iron railings here, I can imagine the great difficulties and dangers faced in the construction. The steps on the foot are very narrow, and almost half of the soles of the feet are stretched out in front. I can't help imagining the impression of gecko. The line of sight is very short, the knife-like rock wall is close at hand, and every plant on the wall seems to have the charm of fairy grass. It is absolutely impossible without the power to walk. The air became wet and foggy, and the rocks and steps were wet. Near noon, there are thin dewdrops on the leaves. I don't know if this dewdrop has been dried, because the weather outside is very sunny. Trembling and groping down, I breathed a sigh of relief until I heard the sound of rushing water, and I knew I had reached the bottom. But the sound of water is not as thunderous as the information says, at least I don't think so, probably because the water is not big enough.
I read the information of Baizhang Mine in advance and got some information. I know that the three waterfalls have their own characteristics, which can be summarized as "one male, two strange and three quiet".
There are two aspects to explain its "male". First, its waterfall mouth is on a very high rock. If you stand opposite the waterfall pool and look up, your hat is likely to fall off your back. A big stone next to the pool is engraved with accurate information-207 meters. When the rainbow is in full swing, it rushes down like a galaxy upside down. It is conceivable that the momentum can be called "Xiong". From this gap of more than 200 meters, it is not surprising to recall the bottomless steps just now. Second, there are thousands of towering cliffs around the waterfall on three sides. No matter how long the waterfall is, the cliff will always be higher than it, otherwise it will not form a waterfall mouth. The left, the middle and the right are steep, indomitable and cold. In the face of that threatening force, people can only feel as small as ants-this skyscraper cliff is definitely a "man"!
The waterfall pool under a mound is not very big compared with the waterfall itself, so the water is not clear and the wave line is thick. I tried it with my hand. It's cloudy and cold. If I want to take off my shoes and sit by the pool and hang my feet in the water, I don't think I can last two minutes. Standing by the pool watching the waterfall, I also feel a chill. Water falling from a height can roll up the wind, and the air is full of scattered water mist. The cold and humid wind blows on the face, and there is of course a chill. The waterfall pavilion is also newly built, facing the waterfall, but I think it is better to look at the waterfall rock from the lonely side. Watching waterfalls and lakes are definitely two different things. Waterfalls need to look up. Standing in the pavilion, you can only see half of the waterfall. Even if you look up, you can only see the dome of the pavilion.
Not far from the pavilion, there is a small stone arch bridge, which stands on the stream led by the pool water. There are only two or three steps on the bridge deck, but there are all kinds of columns, railings, steps and arches, and the streams under the bridge are banging. At the foot of Male Falls, this small bridge is dotted with flowing water, which is really accurate.
An old man keeps a waterfall. He lives in a small white room. There are instant noodles and mineral water for sale, and several thermos bottles stand neatly in the corner. We bought two boxes of instant noodles, and the old man added boiled water to us and told us to eat at the stone table in Wangpu Pavilion. He cooked his own food and had no stove. The so-called stove is a nest made of pebbles in front of Xiaobai's house, with a black iron pot on it for cooking noodles. People there call this kind of stove "dog climbing stove" Noodles are brought by oneself, water is clarified by water, and firewood is all dead branches collected on the spot.
I had the experience of cooking like this in primary school. In our hometown, there is a saying that people are unlucky, for example, birds shit on their heads, they have to beg for "100 meters" to cook, and they have to beg for food from door to door. The more households, the better. When the meal came, they set up pots with stones outside to burn, and firewood was also collected everywhere, sometimes stealing-no food. When it is ripe, people in the neighborhood, both adults and children, will come to earn food, hoping to eliminate their bad luck. But I haven't figured out whether "100 meters" is to eliminate bad luck or disperse bad luck, or it may be that dispersion is to eliminate it. But in any case, people who work outside, like us, don't know how many families eat every day. According to the principle of "100 meters", I think there will be no more bad luck in this life!
Now when I see the old man cooking noodles like this, I have a strange feeling that I can't explain clearly. I don't know if the boiling water that just made us instant noodles was also cooked from this "dog-climbing stove". I hope so. I even want to eat a bowl of noodles from the old man's pot.
After crossing the small bridge, all the way is a gentle downward stone road. No matter how you wander here, there will be no danger. The mountain stream is always by my side, and butterflies of all colors are flying in front. The slopes along the roadside are lush, and from time to time, slender branches extend to the middle of the road. Rhododendrons and Rosa roxburghii are thriving. One kind of grass is particularly lovely, and it is everywhere in the wetland by the stream. Its leaves are like bamboo leaves that have just grown, and there is a blue flower between the two highest leaves, like a beautiful blue shell. Petals are as good as blue satin, tender, thin and soft, small and exquisite. The cliff is covered with green vines, and green wild fruits are swaying in mid-air, but even the most agile ape can only look at the fruit and sigh. It is good to play freely in such a valley, even if there is no waterfall.
There are two aspects that can prove the strangeness of Erkui. First of all, the second mine is a triple waterfall flow, and there is a large rock beach between the upper fold and the lower fold. The folded water hits the beach, the honeysuckle blooms and the white waves roll, which is very spectacular. Standing on the rocky beach, you can overlook the panoramic view of the waterfall plunging into the lake, which is amazing. Secondly, the valley seems to have run out of water on this rocky beach, but looking down from the rocky beach, it is obvious that there are lakes, rafters and small figures below. Looking around, along the vertical foot of the cliff in the upper part of the mountain, there was a big winding rock gallery, which detoured from the back of Shangzhe Waterfall and turned to the opposite rock beach. The rock corridor is wide enough to be filled with cars, and the lower part can touch the top. Walking behind the waterfall is really like water curtain cave in Journey to the West. I think this gallery is more exotic than the rocky beach.
I thought the house at the bottom of the valley would always be temples and temples, and I didn't know it was a mountain villa until I got close. It's open for business, so I can eat and live. I forgot the name of the villa. The villa is very humble, and there is nothing beautiful. We didn't go in. I remember there was a courtyard gate made of bamboo fence on the flagstone road in Zhuangkou, and two red lanterns hung on the bamboo door beam. The figure seen from a height is a few guests. It looks like a couple on vacation, playing cards on a stone table in the shade of the tree. The manor is very casual. When we go in, no one comes to ask questions or cheer us up. This is very comforting.
This is a valley in the valley. 100 feet and 200 feet high waterfall pools are in this valley. The locals call it Longtan. In fact, this sparkling Longtan should be called a lake, because the water surface is relatively open and it is worth boating along the rock line. As for the name, it is really worth considering. Different from Yi Kun, the steep cliffs on three sides here only surround half of Li Lake, just like a gentle and lovely woman lying in the vigorous arms of an iron man, quiet and lovely. It is said that there is a longan at the bottom of this Longtan that leads directly to the East China Sea. I don't quite believe it.
There are long stone chairs by the lake for tourists to rest. I sat on this bench and looked around at the quiet scenery of this valley, thinking: There is probably no need to see the "seclusion" of those three mountains. Apart from being "strange", these two mountains are already "secluded" and interesting. If a person can accompany his beloved, live in a quiet valley, build a house, drink spring water, learn from the world and enjoy himself, it is not a beautiful couple's life, what else can it be?
Perhaps it is precisely because the villas, lakes, mountains and valleys of the Second Mine occupy the word "secluded", so there is not much need to promote the Third Mine. Besides, the "seclusion" of the third mine is a bit patchy, and the waterfall has no proper momentum at all. However, the water that has been with us has come down from a stream and jumped over a long canyon. So it was filtered as clear as crystal, without a trace of dust, and once it fell into the lower pool, it condensed into a transparent green jade. In the beautiful green water, there are countless pebbles at the bottom of the pool. The pool of gentle green reflected in my mind naturally reminds people of Mr. Zhu Ziqing's Meiyu Pool, but this low waterfall still can't produce crystal plum blossoms, and there is no eagle-like pavilion on the nearby cliff to meet the scene. However, the rippling "daughter green" is lovely after all, and I can't help but hold it in my hand and kiss her in my mouth. Then the reaction I can produce in my mind can only be a sigh: "Oh, this intoxicating green ..."
Swimming all the way down from Tianding Lake, in addition to the natural scenery along the way, there is a good feeling, that is, freedom and tranquility. Along the way, we can wander, climb, sit and lie down, and even shout loudly. There are few people and things that disturb our interest. Personally, I think this is the real tour, and this is the real scenery.
