China's four most beautiful mountain and river cities, is your hometown on the list?
When I was a child, I used to listen to my ancestors tell legendary stories about distant mountains and rivers, and those charming landscapes seemed to have existed in my imagination. It wasn't until I grew up that I was fortunate enough to set foot in it myself, and I found that those praised landscapes were really fascinating and intoxicating.
When it comes to China's four beautiful mountain and river cities, the first thing that comes to my mind is my hometown, Emeishan City. Located on the southeastern edge of the Sichuan Basin, this small city is famous for its dual cultural and natural heritage Mount Emei.
When I was a child, every summer vacation, my family would always embark on a long journey, crossing the roads of Emeishan City and coming to the foot of Emeishan. The winding mountain road, like a giant dragon hovering up, the scenery is beautiful, like a magnificent picture. Mount Emei, perennial clouds and mist, like a fairyland, the mountain temple is located in the middle, like a fairyland on earth.
I remember one time when my family and I climbed to the top of the Golden Peak, overlooking the mountains and looking at everything in the distance, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for nature. At the top of the golden dome, the sea of clouds is churning, as if you are in a fairyland, and the cities and villages under the mountain loom in the clouds and mist, which is picturesque.
In addition to Mount Emei, among the four most beautiful mountain cities in China, Mount Huangshan, Mount Tai and Mount Huashan are also desirable holy places. Each mountain has its own unique charm that attracts countless tourists to come and worship.
Yellow Mountain, known as "the world's first strange mountain", its steep, majestic, beautiful landscape scenery is breathtaking. I remember the first time I set foot on Huangshan, it was as if I had entered a fabulous world. The steep mountain roads, the clouds hanging on the cliffs, and the pines and cypresses constitute a magnificent landscape painting.
Mount Tai, the first of the five mountains, has the reputation of "the first mountain in the world" since ancient times. Climb Mount Tai and the small world, this sentence is most appropriate for Mount Tai. Mount Tai stands majestically, the clouds and mist are shrouded, the scenery along the mountaineering is breathtaking, especially at sunrise, the golden light pierces the hole, and it is magnificent.
Huashan, known as "the first mountain in the world", has attracted countless mountaineering enthusiasts and tourists to watch its steep mountains, dangerous peaks and strange stones, cliffs and cliffs, and beautiful landscapes. I remember the first time I climbed Mount Hua, I felt the shock of my body and mind, and also appreciated the greatness and magic of nature.
Each of these four mountain cities has its own unique charm and story. On the way to the mountain, there are always some interesting people and things that are unforgettable.
In Huangshan, I met an old man from the south of the Yangtze River, dressed in a green coat and holding a cane, trying to climb to the top of the mountain step by step. I asked him about his origin, and he told me that he was an orphan who grew up at the foot of Mount Huangshan since he was a child, and when he was a child, he heard the old man talk about the beauty of Mount Huangshan, and he made a vow to climb to the top of Mount Huangshan. Today, he is in his old age, but he still persists in climbing to the top of the mountain because he believes that if he doesn't give up, he will be able to achieve his dreams.
In Mount Tai, I met a young mountaineer who came from far away to come to Mount Tai to worship. He told me that Mount Tai is his faith, is the sustenance of his soul, and he has to come to Mount Tai once a year to feel the greatness and wonder of nature, and also pray to Mount Tai for peace and happiness.
In Huashan, I met a young and beautiful monk who was practicing, dressed in a monk's robe and holding a rosary, and kneeling down to the top of the mountain while chanting sutras. I asked him about the secret of his practice, and he told me that cultivation is not about pursuing things outside the body, but about cultivating the mind, and that one should have good thoughts in one's heart, not be greedy, not be angry, and cultivate a calm mind in order to attain true liberation.
These people and things made me feel the greatness and wonder of nature, and also made me understand the true meaning of life. Although mountaineering is difficult, only after experiencing wind and rain can you see the rainbow; Only by climbing the dangerous peaks can you enjoy the superb scenery. In the process of climbing, we can not only feel the physical challenge, but also experience the baptism of the soul and understand the true meaning of life.
When I think back on these experiences, I can't help but feel emotional. Life is like a mountain, full of ups and downs and challenges, but as long as we persevere and move forward bravely, we will be able to climb to the pinnacle of life and appreciate the gorgeous scenery of life. Let's work together to keep moving forward towards our dreams, meet every challenge in life, and create our own wonderful life!
