On-the-go Travel —— One of the Travel in Henan Province

No one would have thought that the trip of the three of us was so hasty and firm.

Improvise, without detailed planning. Just leave.

We drove west along Lianhuo Expressway, arrived at Yuntai Mountain, and returned to Zhengzhou via Kaifeng to Lankao. There are both natural landscapes and humanistic feelings along the way. There are both government ancestral halls and national museums; It not only witnessed the bustling commercial street of Shangdu day and night, but also witnessed the dazzling elegance of the last bay of the Yellow River. There is a moment of quiet sitting in Wei Yong Woody Zhongxin Bookstore, and there is also leisure fun from Kaifeng by bike; Bao Zheng, a good official in the Northern Song Dynasty, was deeply moved by his feelings of being close to the people, and also by Jiao, a good national cadre determined to change the face of Lankao.

I really want to record this journey in words. A few years later, when we look back, we can say with a smile that we walked through Henan. A strange and familiar city. There left traces of our search for the distance.

More than ten years ago, when our children were very young, we became parents for the first time and often took inexperienced children to travel. After the son went to school, the time for the three people to travel together became less and less, and then the child went to junior high school and high school until he graduated from high school. We planned trips again and again, but they never came true. Either my husband is on duty during the flood season, or I have activities in summer training, or my son is making up lessons at school. The plan to travel together has become something that all three of us miss.

The day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Wang's straw burning ban stopped because of the rain. We finally had a little time, and Mr. Wang decided to drive us out. Considering my school work in the second half of the week, the five-day trip to Xi can only be reduced to two and a half days.

Let's go, clean up briefly and set off for Henan.

1on the afternoon of October 2 14 took the Lianhuo Expressway from the entrance of Tangdian.

Festivals are free of charge, and there are naturally many pedestrians. Vehicles whizzed past, but they didn't slow down because of the autumn rain. Probably like us, some people choose to travel on rainy days.

The autumn rain is lingering all the way, intermittent. The fast-moving vehicle rolled up clouds of water vapor and slammed into the front windshield of the car. With a wave of his hand, the wiper slammed into an unknown rural field.

16: 20 arrive at Xiayi County, Shangqiu. It is estimated that there was an accident ahead and the vehicle was blocked on the road from east to west. Trucks, buses, trolleys and cars are crowded and colorful. In the fog of autumn rain, they are divided into two roads, like two long dragons, and they can't see the beginning and the end, which is quite spectacular. Some drivers and passengers are impatient to wait, so they get off the bus one after another, or stretch their legs, or get together in groups of three or five, have a cigarette and say something irrelevant.

We also got off the bus and were silent in the rain. Looking from a distance, the fields are blurred, and it is already unclear where the rain is and where the fog is. The trees on the roadside are becoming more and more bright red, and every leaf is shining with shiny luster. Such brilliant red can really relieve a lot of visual fatigue. The green leaves are green enough to stare at your eyes. This kind of green is tender, lively and aura, which makes people see the full power of life. Perhaps, the people who planted trees at the beginning would never have thought that such a red and green combination in the autumn rain season would alleviate the embarrassment and helplessness of pedestrians in traffic jams. The vision and realm of decision makers are really important.

Mr. Wang saw from the map of Gaode that there was at least 800 meters ahead. I heard from a bus driver that this road has been blocked for two hours, and their last bus is still ahead. Autumn wind wrapped in rain, swept away. The weather is getting colder and colder, and we are worried about catching a cold. We got on the bus soon. After about half an hour, the car in front finally started.

Keep going west, and we'll start again.

Have a rest when you get to the service area. With Mr. Wang's permission, I'll drive. Although the driving skill is not as good as that of Mr. Wang, it can also help him relieve fatigue at the critical moment.

I drove carefully and made constant progress. There are fewer cars and wider roads in some sections. While Mr. Wang was not paying attention, he stepped on the gas pedal secretly and enjoyed the thrill of passion. It's especially refreshing to run, and it feels like traveling to the west. Although driving experience is 10 years, high-speed driving experience is extremely scarce. I want to concentrate on the car for a long time and dare not be distracted.

I don't know how long it took, but I got stuck in traffic for the second time and suffered a lot. At first I followed a van, and there were two cars ahead. However, the truck dawdled and blocked the view. The two cars in front are really unbearable. Just one of them dodged, one headed for the left overtaking lane and the other headed for the right emergency lane. Mr. Wang repeatedly accused the driver of flashing into the emergency lane. There's an accident ahead. If he rushes forward like this, the rescue car behind him won't get on. Some rules, whether supervised or not, must be observed. This is also the principle that we have always adhered to in our life, work and life.

The car moved forward a little, and the speed of the left lane was obviously much faster. Just now, those two local cars have disappeared. I don't know where the impulse came from. I just despise the overtaking driver in my heart. In a blink of an eye, I became the kind of person who strongly rejected me. Looking at the traffic in the rear is still far away, I turned the front of the car to the left, and in an instant, I moved to the left front. It didn't take long to find that the speed of the two lanes was almost the same. I estimate that there must be two roads running parallel to the place where the accident happened ahead. I'm beginning to regret the random lane change just now. I told the sky not to cry, so I had to follow the traffic and have a rest. Who wants to watch from one side to the other? I remember a few days ago, my students and I read Ceng Wenzheng's warning that "sitting on this mountain and watching that mountain will accomplish nothing". At this time, I am not experiencing "go this way, see that way, which way is not fast"? Sometimes I think about it, people are really strange. We always find out in the end that we are as obsessed with uncertain things as hallucinations. I feel glad and tell myself in my heart that I am in a hurry, I can't cut corners and some rules can't be broken. The best way to reach a distant place may be the original road.

It took us about half an hour to move to the accident-prone area ahead, and there were actually eight accident vehicles, some of which were towed on the faulty vehicles, and some were waiting for treatment in the same place. Mr. Wang said that when driving at high speed, you must not get close to the car in front, and you should leave enough time and space to deal with unexpected situations. It is estimated that these eight cars are all caused by rear-end collision because of too fast speed. A good holiday, such a thing happened, it is estimated that I am not in the mood. It seems more personal to think of Lu You's famous aphorism "You can't get it on paper, but you don't know what to do".

At 20: 33, turn from G30 to G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway and see Liujiang Yellow River Bridge. Helpless, it was dark and the car was fast, and there was no sign of the Yellow River water at all. Leaving G4 Expressway, we got on G55 12 Jin Xin Expressway, and the navigation prompted us to continue driving for 34 kilometers. At this time, it is already 20: 47, 2 1 and the plan to reach the destination is estimated to be a bit late. Fortunately, Mr. Wang booked a hotel.

Leaving G5512,21:06, we headed for S87-Yuntai Mountain in Xiuwu. We didn't see many cars along the way, only our car sped like an elf, speeding all the way on the dark road. Drive out of Yuntaishan toll station and enter the provincial highway.

Arrived at Shangkeyou Hotel at 2 1: 50, checked in and entered the room, only to find that the accommodation conditions were not what we expected. It was safe when I came, and there was nothing to care about. Health and safety are the most important. We put down our luggage and went to a Huimian Noodles Pavilion. We ordered three bowls of beef noodles. Wide noodles, delicious and expensive. It seems unreasonable that the scenic service area does not let people make profits. I bought some daily necessities in the nearby supermarket. Back to the hotel, they cannot father a bed, I a bed, can't help secretly pleased.

Going to Yuntai Mountain has always been my dream. Many years ago, I was fascinated by the photos taken by my friends in Yuntai Mountain. Beautiful mountains and rivers, beautiful rocks and towering cliffs. I have imagined the red rock peaks countless times, with layers of overlapping and towering cliffs. I also dream that one day, I can really witness the Cornus Peak, which was once recited by the great poet Wang Wei. . After a long time, Yuntai Mountain has become our family's dream.

This time, Yuntai Mountain became our first stop.

65438+1October 3, 6: 30 in the morning. Mr. Wang got up very early. After taking a shower, he went outside to find out about food. My son and I moved to a new place and didn't sleep well. After repeated urging, we went downstairs, checked out and loaded the luggage into the car. After seeing my husband, I walked a long way and went straight into a shop with a clean facade.

At 7: 30, after breakfast, we went to Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area by bus.

I just got on the bus and didn't have time to look at the street sign next to the station. We are new here and don't know where to go first. Mr. Wang blamed his son for not making a good strategy. The son was not convinced and said that he had learned it online. At this time, the guide on the bus suggested that you need to get off at the Phoenix Plank Road. We don't know whether we should get off. A tourist next door told us that we don't have to get off without taking the cableway. After a while, the tour guide reminded us again that people who need to go to Hongshixia should get off. Yes, we are going to Hongshi Gorge.

Looking back now, the place where we got off should be halfway up the mountain, because there is a gap of tens of meters between the Hongshixia where we are going and the place where we got off, which may be even bigger. We walked all the way down the steps and looked around. The mountains covered almost the whole mountain, and all kinds of miscellaneous trees covered each other. Some grew at the bottom of the stone and some grew halfway up the mountain. The biggest feeling is that it is like a virgin forest, but the trees are not high and there are not many old trees. Perhaps this is the characteristic of the original secondary forest.

It is said that "going up the mountain is easier than going down the mountain" because it is difficult to go up the mountain. Now, we are going downhill, thinking about how comfortable it is now and how difficult it will be to go back. With the flow of people, after a while, we entered the foot of Hongshixia scenic spot.

"Hongshixia is a zigzag canyon formed by two groups of cracks in purple sandstone cut by surface water 2.6 million years ago. It is about 2 kilometers long, several meters to tens of meters wide and more than 60 meters deep. The red rocks and clear water in the canyon are like spring all the year round. " Seeing the introduction words on the stone tablet, my heart brightened a lot.

We started from the foot of the mountain and went upstream along the viewing stone steps built on the left bank of the canyon. Looking around, except for people, there are red rocks on both sides of the strait and jade-like water under their feet. Touching the rock and feeling the texture of the rock from 3.4 billion years ago, awe arises spontaneously. It is smooth and crystal clear, and its texture is hard. Layers of rocks seem to be telling its long history. On a stone wall, geologists infer from the beautiful red rock that it was a beach relic 65.438+0.2 billion years ago. Interlaced textures and ripples, mud cracks, every stroke and every place in the rock are open to the world, waiting for future generations to interpret them. These stones are alive. They do not yield to nature and stand with dignity. Facing the frost, rain, wind and sun of nature, it still maintains its hardness and height. Unlike stones in other places, some have been weathered to soft. They stand with the stone and lie with it, complete, hard and beautiful.

There are many white flowers growing in the crevice of the rock opposite the cliff. They are round and round, some with the help of rare soil layers between stone crevices, and some grow directly in stone crevices, which makes people have to be amazed and impressed. Mr. Wang said that all the people who can grow here are strong. Maybe unyielding life can influence each other. No one knows how many years rocks and plants have been together. But I know their roots grow together.

Walking along the stone platform, you have to pass several bridges. Because the scenic spots are built according to the zigzag of the canyon, and some are cut from stones. From the left bank to the right bank, it is a hard stone bridge; From right bank to left bank, it is a simple suspension bridge. Walking up, staggering, stormy waves under the bridge, dodging and flashing naughtily, don't have some fun.

I like water. I have never seen such green water in my life. I remember reciting the text "Guilin Landscape" when I was a child, which wrote: "The water in Lijiang River is so quiet that you can't feel it flowing; The water in Lijiang River is very clear, and you can see the sand and stones at the bottom of the river. The water in the Lijiang River is so green, as if it were a flawless jade. " At that time, I was thinking about when I could see the water of Lijiang River. But now, the water in front of us is like this, isn't it? The mountain is decorated with water, and the water reflects the mountain. Walking in the mountains is like traveling in a pictorial world.

The water in the Red Canyon is a spiritual jade, a gentle woman and a clever painting. Perhaps, you will never meet such water anywhere again!

There are two ways to return, one is flat and the other is rugged. My son chose the latter, and we agreed to follow. There are many people on the road, and it seems that everyone is more willing to challenge the unknown road. It seems more appropriate to think about the poems of American poet Robert Frost:

"There are two roads in the yellow forest, but unfortunately I can't set foot on them at the same time. I stood at that intersection for a long time. I looked at a road until it disappeared into the depths of the jungle. But I chose another path. It is lush, quiet and looks more charming and beautiful. " Often on this road, you will meet more beautiful scenery. Sure enough, we had an accident.

I don't know whether it is natural or man-made, a waterfall suddenly appeared on the right in front of us. As soon as the water gushed out from the top of the cliff, it quietly flowed out at the gentle place of the mountain, sticking to the stone surface. When the rock is steep, the water rushes down angrily, hitting the layers of stone walls and crashing down again. They are like a relay race, a protracted war, reminiscent of the spectacular Hukou Waterfall. If the water surface here is wide enough and big enough, this waterfall should also be a beautiful scenery in Hongshixia.

Climbing a straight chain, we came to a gentle place. At the foot is the riverbed formed by the impact of quicksand, twisted stones and potholes, which makes people worry. Let's take a picture and take a group photo. Out of the wisteria promenade, over the reservoir dam, you arrive at the transfer station of Zifang Lake.

Turning around and looking back, from the wonderful layers of rocks in nature, the breathtaking Redstone Canyon has been completely covered by the lush green of the mountains, which is probably another wonder of nature. There is a classic line in "20 12": "In front of nature, we are all insignificant; In the face of the great destructive power of nature, we can do nothing. " Therefore, with a heart of gratitude and awe, you will not be blind and arrogant.

Mount Connors is our second stop.

Cornus officinalis peak, commonly known as Xiaobeiding, has an altitude of 1308m and 1700 steps. It is said that it was at the foot of the mountain that the great poet Wang Wei wrote a quatrain handed down from generation to generation in memory of Shandong brothers. There is a cave of medicine king and a cornucopia at the waist of Fengfeng, which is said to be the place where Sun Simiao, the medicine king of Tang Dynasty, collected medicine and made an alchemy.

At 9: 30, we went to Dogwood Peak by bus on the platform of Zifang Lake. The driver told me the journey 10 km, about 20 minutes. Traveling all the way, my legs are really soft. As soon as you get on the bus, quietly close your eyes and rest. But where can I stop? The tourists sitting by the window are about to explode. When they see the clouds winding around the mountain, they exclaim and take pictures. The car drove into the cave and exclaimed that the cave was dark and long. There is really no way but to look at the scenery from the window.

There are intermittent broadcasts on the car radio. It takes about 65,438+04 tunnels to reach Cornus peak. Each tunnel has its own unique name, which can be seen at the entrance of the tunnel. We sat in the back of the bus and couldn't see at all. I only know that Panshan Road is on the upper level. In many places, the roads between tunnels are mostly 180 degree turns, and almost all of them are straight roads. Alpine green trees, vast hazelnuts, and occasionally exposed white ridges remind people of the skin of Jinan written by Lao She in winter. The difference is that the skin of the mountains here is white.

When the vehicle enters the tunnel, it seems to have completely entered another sensory space. There is almost no lighting on both sides, completely relying on the bus lights, and there is a small green screen in front of the car to show the time. When there is no car across the street, it is relatively better. Once a car comes, the driver will flash the car aside, especially when crossing the tunnel and turning, which is actually quite worrying. Sitting in the car, I felt the sound of the opposite car whizzing past my ear. It's common to get on the wrong train in such a tunnel, and I secretly marvel at the driver's skill and courage.

When we got to the parking lot and got off the bus, it was raining in Mao Mao. I want to buy a raincoat to take with me, but they insist on not using it. The reason is that they can't wear it after climbing the mountain. I believed them, scanned my ID card and started climbing the mountain.

The steps are really steep and straight. After walking more than a dozen times, my legs became weak. My heart beat a retreat. Climbing the mountain was my idea, and now I don't want to go. Say it out for fear of jokes. Had to endure, walk for a while and have a rest. Look, I really can't walk. Mr. Wang tried to help me.

It is more difficult to walk such steep steps than to walk alone. Dragging him is undoubtedly dragging him, but he still can't lift his legs. The mountain road is narrow and crowded, and panting can be heard everywhere. Finally, we reached a platform, and everyone sat down to have a rest. My head is dizzy, my head is about to explode, and my legs are weak. I really want to go nowhere, so I just sit and wait for them to go down the mountain.

Mr. Wang offered to let his son help me carry my backpack to reduce the burden. I dragged my son and barely took a few steps. On the way to Kornas Peak, I was left in the rest of a pavilion. I can't climb the mountain any more for health reasons. Weakness, bouts of sweating, the whole became a collapsed patient. My son is pulling and my husband is hugging, but my leg still doesn't want to walk a step. I have a headache and a stomachache. I tried to walk up several times, trying to reach the main peak, and witnessed the spectacular scene of the elevation of the small top in the north of Cornus officinalis peak 1308 meters. However, I finally made a decision. Let my husband and son go up the mountain, and I will wait for them in the same place. Looking at their sorry expressions, I am actually very sad. This is just a special moment. I really don't want to move. It's too tiring.

Sitting in the pavilion building halfway up the mountain, watching pedestrians coming and going, crowded, stopping up and down the mountain to replenish energy halfway, old people and children, the whole pavilion building is extremely crowded.

It is raining harder and harder. I am cold and hungry. I just bought a raincoat to wear in the grocery store next to me, and it suddenly warmed up a lot. Sitting bored, I bought a cup of milk tea and hot dogs and waited for them to go down the mountain while eating.

12, my son and my husband came down the mountain to see me. They saw me buying a raincoat and drinking milk tea. Mr. Wang said with a smile that he didn't even climb the mountain. This equipment is quite complete. I did Sarah laugh.

In a small shop at the foot of the mountain, we simply ate some snacks. Whenever I go to a place to eat, I usually take the seat first, and my husband and son are responsible for ordering and paying the bill. I was taken good care of by two men, although I didn't appreciate the grandeur of "reaching the top, knowing at a glance that other mountains are dwarfed under the sky". I'm still flattered.

12: 45, take a bus from dogwood peak parking lot. Beyond the window, the mountains are like Dai, and white clouds are around, leaving only dark green mountains in the mountains. Yun Teng Mountain is floating and spectacular.

Come back on a whim. Although I missed the peak of Cornus officinalis, I enjoyed the company all the way. Mr. Wang said that after you go back, you can only say that you have come to Yuntai and there is no mountain. Our son smiled, and so did we.

San Mao said, "Life is a journey. What matters is not the scenery along the way, but the people who accompany you to see the scenery. " The mountain is a journey of water, and you can watch the scenery with your loved ones. Isn't it a memorable scenery to miss it?
