Notes on summer vacation in Mang River
Summer is here, and Zhengzhou City is unbearably hot. Some travel friends came back and said: Manghe Summer Resort in Yangcheng County, Jincheng, Shanxi Province, has beautiful mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, fresh air, and a suitable climate. It is summer. A great place to escape the heat.
On July 8, 2018, my colleagues and I set off from the bustling Zhengzhou City at 8:00 a.m., and at around 11:00, the bus entered the Manghe area of Jincheng, Shanxi Province, Taihang Mountains. We couldn't restrain our excitement and couldn't wait to watch the scenery from the window: looking around, the scenery we saw had both the majesty of the mountains in the north and the elegance of the water in the south. Natural creations gave us breathtaking beauty.
At 11:20 we arrived at the entrance of Manghe Scenic Area. The owner of the farmhouse in Chushugou took us to the farmhouse No. 55. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and we feel that the Feng Shui is very good.
The boss arranged us in a standard room on the second floor of the small three-story courtyard. Because the two of us were the "advanced troops" and the main force was still behind, we had the choice of room.
The house is tidy, the windows are bright and clean, and hot water is provided for bathing 24 hours a day. The food is basically green and environmentally friendly vegetables grown by the farmers themselves, and the rice and noodles are ground by themselves. The food is plain and delicious.
? On July 9, 2018, we were going to walk around. Unfortunately, it rained, and it kept raining. Except for the sound of rain outside the window, the courtyard building was extremely quiet. My colleagues sat cross-legged on the bed in the dormitory on the second floor, surfing the Internet and watching TV. I sat on the wicker chair next to the tea table on the third floor, which is also the top floor, and surfed the Internet. Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, I would look up from time to time at the mist-shrouded mountain peaks outside the window, and read the book I wanted to read. I felt leisurely, elegant, satisfied, and happy.
On July 10, 2018, the sky was still gloomy and weeping. We really didn’t have the patience to wait for the sky to smile, so we took an umbrella and walked around the big bridge and small wooden bridge along the Mang River. .
Passing by a place where crows live in groups, they opened their broken mouths and squawked, which made my hair crawl. My colleague’s face turned pale with fright, and his hair stood on end. Because people often say that hearing a crow crows is an ominous sign. There is a saying that "if a crow flies over your head, it is either a disaster or a disaster." But some people say: The crow is a divine bird. We don’t understand the bird’s language, but it probably reminds people that it’s raining and the roads are slippery, so they need to be careful when traveling!
On July 11, 2018, God was still crying. No matter what, I took an umbrella and walked on the road along the river after breakfast. The mountains and mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, and the peaks were hidden in the clouds and mist. Gone. Unexpectedly, when God cries, Manghe Qiushugou will still be as beautiful as Xi Tzu!
On July 12, 2018, it had been five days since I came to Qiushugou without realizing it. It had been raining for the past five days and there were no outdoor activities. This morning, Tian stopped crying and showed a bright smile. Get ready to go outside for a walk.
The two of us walked along the road, just like walking in a landscape gallery. The mountains are green, the water is green, and the white clouds are floating on the mountains. Our hearts seem to be floating in the clouds.
On July 12, 2018, Sister Cui and her party came to Zhengzhou City again, and the small building suddenly became lively. Singing and laughter filled the small building.
From the 12th to the 15th, our team increased to more than a dozen people.
On the morning of July 16, 2018, a dozen of us hiked to Monkey Mountain and saw many cute monkeys.
Then those of us with quick legs walked along the Mang River Plank Road for seven or eight miles. The mountains of Manghe River are filled with mountains and mountains, and strange peaks and rocks are densely covered in Mangshan Mountain. The water of Manghe River is crystal clear all year round. It flows like a giant python. It flows through holes along the mountains and flows along the streams. The hanging ones are waterfalls and flying streams. It flows straight down, and the falling part is a pool, the valley is deep, the walking part is turbulent, not too late or too hasty, and the stopping part is a deep water, like inlaid with green green. The Xiaohuangguoshu Waterfall falls steeply. It is the most beautiful waterfall in the Manghe Waterfall Scenic Area. We At this point, some people got tired and decided to go home and come back another day. I was very excited. Thanks to the natural oxygen bar, I was actually doing aerobic exercise. I didn’t feel tired at all and I felt very comfortable.
In recent days, more and more tourists have traveled thousands of miles to have a beautiful date with Manghe.
On July 19, 2018, a group of us walked more than ten miles to Mang Lake to visit.
From a distance, the three solitary mountains seem to have flown to the edge of the Python Lake to stop the giant python from galloping. They stand proudly in the sky. They are truly majestic and jaw-dropping!
On July 20, 2018,
On July 21, 2018, my summer travel companions from Qiushugou, Manghe, Shanxi, and I took our own path and overcame all obstacles to reach Qingshan Taoist Temple. The temple enshrines Taishang Laojun. After we paid our respects, we came to a place where Taoist monks practice immortality. The Taoist priest may have gone down the mountain. General Tie is guarding the door. The Taoist monks practice place is on the top of a hill, in the embrace of the mountains. The residence faces east. It is a two-story wooden building with a small kitchen facing south. There is a bead curtain hanging on the door, which has been wiped clean. In front of the door is a walkway with wooden boards nailed to the steel frame. The scenery is really on the dangerous peak. We walked on this suspended wooden board, really walking on thin ice and scared. We stayed in front of the door for a while and then went down the mountain along the stone steps.
On July 22, 2018, I went to Mangheyuan with another travel friend. It is also the birthplace of the Mang River in Jincheng, Shanxi. We followed the Mang River plank road and stone steps up and down, passing through Monkey Mountain, Yinma Spring, Huangguoshu Waterfall, Niangniang Pond, Water Curtain Cave and other scenic spots to trace back to the source of Mang River. It turns out that the Mang River spewed out from a cave. This road is better than the Shili Gallery in Yangshuo, it is really the "Little Guilin in the North"!
On July 24, 2018, a traveling friend and I watched the trapeze show at Houzhuang Manghe River.
On the morning of July 25, 2018, we went for a walk and were active by the Mang River in the hotel. In the morning, our travel friends said that we were tired from running yesterday and it was still a long time, so we should swim slowly. So we played mahjong in the chess and card room of the farmhouse. What a magical life!
On July 26, 2018, all the sisters who lived in the same building went out to play. I was at home. During the period, I went out to learn from the female boss about the Taoist priests and Taoist nuns on the northwest mountain. So I wrote down their stories.
July 27, 2018 was a mid-summer day. It started to rain and I couldn’t go out. After playing a few cards of mahjong with my travel companions, I started studying the Tao Te Ching. I feel that if people, especially party members and cadres, understand the essence of the Tao Te Ching and can use it, then the country and the people will be in peace and the country will be stable.
August 1, 2018. Today we spent a happy Army Day in Manghe, Jincheng, Shanxi. We, a dozen tourists from Zhengzhou who stayed at No. 55 Qiushugou Farmhouse in Manghe, worked together to make dumplings, including ones stuffed with wild leek and native eggs, dumplings stuffed with radish and meat, and dumplings stuffed with mountain leek and meat. The dumplings are so delicious!
In the morning of August 3, 2018, I had nothing to do and went to the observation deck behind Huanglong Temple to see the Sanlong Waterfall Grand Canyon, Black Dragon Pool and Rainbow Bridge.
On August 5, 2018, my friends and I went to watch the puppet show near Tingpu Tower in Manghe River...
On August 10, 2018, we went to Manghe River in Houzhuang to watch the trapeze show. , watched the colorful scenery on the way to the scenic spot.
I’m tired, so I’ll send you a few more pictures to describe my thoughts on summer vacation in Mang River!
Goodbye Mang River!
