Inscription: On March 18, 2023, the five counties of Xushui, Gaobeidian, Anguo, Wuqing and Dacheng formed an alliance to go to Houshan Yuhuan in Tang County to cross the spring and have lunch together. Its momentum and number of people are rare before, so it is written down!
With the spring light all the way, the car sped on the Anda line, leaving behind the verdant wheat field! At the end of the day, the car arrived at Houqiyu Village in Tang County, and the group started the canyon spring journey!
The sun is quiet, but the spring cold still refuses to leave. Entering the canyon, the ice waterfall and peach blossoms in the same frame become the first jaw-dropping view! Walking on the soft but still thick ice, the sound of gurgling water is in your ears, but you can't see where the water is! Wild peach blossoms bloom on the cliff walls on both sides of the ice valley, as if ignoring the ice and snow under your feet, just proudly looking up at the clear blue sky, showing the unyielding fragrance to the mountains!
Walk through the icefall, climb up the canyon and turn right, an abandoned village! The peach blossoms blooming on the side of the stone steps into the village are in stark contrast to the stone mills that can be seen in the barren grass. So my mind couldn't help but flash Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hu's "Title Capital City Nanzhuang": In this gate today last year, people's faces were red with peach blossoms. People don't know where to go, but Peach Blossom is still smiling at the spring breeze.
Climb up the trail of the village's backward mountains to the peak, climb high and look into the distance, clouds and mist, and overlapping peaks. The combination of the ghostly natural landscape and the quiet and simple natural scenery makes people suddenly feel the insignificance of human beings and the magic of nature!
Continue along the mountain beam, the road is narrow and steep, and the road is dangerous. or tossing and turning on a mountainside path overgrown with grass; or crawling over the edge of a cliff shaped like a tiger's mouth; or walk cautiously through thorny bushes; Or glide down a dirt road with sand and gravel! Fortunately, there are constantly strange rocks and blooming peach blossoms along the way to block the pace of progress, so countless scenery is added and retained in the camera!
With surprises, sighs, nostalgia and awe along the way, it took five hours to walk through the whole process!
Poetry as proof:
"Jiang Chengzi. Houqiyu Stepping Spring"
Spring cold material steep journey, Yushan Xiong, white clouds, a colorful ridge, waving sleeves to ride the spring breeze. Not afraid of the sky to cover the eyes, idle world, drunken sky.
The canyon is full of peach blossoms, looking for the fairy, with whom, step by step, the heart of the five alliances. A wisp of spring breeze is tired, although the wine is small, but the love is strong.
