The westerly wind is beginning to rise, autumn is getting cooler, and August is about to end. The time of the year is hurried and fleeting. In this loose autumn air, it is most suitable for wild hopes. Go into the mountains to see the scenery, and go to explore the mountain system of Laoshan Mountain, which has never been reached before.

The red theme of the revolution, Mao Gongshan, has long been a piece of rich people's villas
With the purchase of three pounds of Jufeng grapes while eating and walking
Wang Qiaogu is located in the northwestern foothills of Laoshan Mountain, belonging to the mountain system outside Sanbiao Mountain. It is the main peak of Maogong Mountain Scenic Area, and naturally this trip starts from Maogong Mountain Scenic Area. Maogong Mountain is located in the Gongjia Village community with the reputation of "Qingdao Pollution-free 1000 Acres of Grape Base". This is the main production area of Jufeng grapes, the grapes produced are large ears, bright and purple-black when ripe, rich in taste and sweet and juicy, with a faint strawberry aroma, and are famous far and wide.
Sometimes people have to have the ability to be alone with themselves, and they must learn to cherish, enjoy, and appreciate the time of solitude, which is also a realm.
Scenic billboards
This was the destination of my trip
Look at the natural stone statue of Chairman Mao in the distance
Maogong Mountain is a free scenic spot, after entering along the stone steps of the road tossing and turning, all the way to the pace of their own feeling is still light and cheerful, because several young and fat tourists encountered on the road have long been breathless, stopping and resting. Since I had been here a few years ago, I buried my head in the road and did not have time to pay attention to the red-themed billboards on the side of the road. Not long after, I had ascended to the mouth of the scenic spot, and from here I could see a huge rock on the cliff that resembled the half-body side photo of the great leader Chairman Mao. The realistic lines of the head and neck outline the resolute face, and the low-hanging stone face resembles the Zhongshan suit that the leader likes to wear. The whole stone statue looks like a healthy body, a solemn look, a plump face, and it is simply a lifelike natural masterpiece. What's even better is that even the chairman's back comb hairstyle is delicately and vividly interpreted, giving people a strong sense of intimacy, especially in the eyes of people who are accustomed to seeing Chairman Mao's commemorative medals issued in China in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which is a natural relief statue art created by heaven and earth!
Looking northwest, it is my hometown Jimo.
To the south, the Laoshan Reservoir is full of blue waves
The scenic tour guide board that is lodging
Excited weeds
Edible wild mushrooms commonly known as "snow red"
Artificially built stone walls
Arriving at the observation deck here is actually a visit to the Maogong Mountain Scenic Area, but the scenic route built in the early stage can be more than this. To the east, there are still many attractions such as "Yuntai Xiansheng", "Fengtai Zhenyin", "Shouxing Jizhao", "Jiang Laobei", and my goal today is "Wang Qiao Yunge" --- Wang Qiaogu. However, the scenic spot has already set up a roadblock on the eastbound steps, and I have no choice but to take the opportunity to sneak over and continue my journey.
Abandoned scenic spots, which have been obliterated by barren grass
The original scenic spot is a table and stool for tourists to rest
Milky white rounded eggs
The stone valley here may be Tianchi
Thick cumulus clouds sprung up in the southeastern sky
Looking north at King Qiao Gu, he suddenly squatted in the dense forest of the forest sea
Cumulonimbus clouds churned in the distance, heralding the coming of a rain.
The next road is actually an abandoned scenic route, the road is in disrepair, and the vegetation on both sides is lush, which can be described as a wilderness. I have the heart to appreciate other landscapes, and I don't care about it. During the walk, the winding path is quiet, and along the way, strange shaped hieroglyphic stones are frequently appeared, which is really amazing. However, a landscape like "Yuntai Xiansheng" has neither stone inscriptions, but also eye-catching features, and it is really impossible to see why it is natural, and can only comfort itself with the introduction of scenic spots. Subsequently, such as the "Three Jiao Lying Clouds" and "Divine Dragon Spring", etc., all of them have not come out of the details.
Bright red wild mushrooms, which are beautiful and unusual in the decaying leafy grass
A huge slug
Autumn colors of mountain grass
Excited broccoli
Walking through the woods, you can't see an old iron-framed signal tower to the south. Approaching it, but seeing the towering peaks and cliffs, the granite rocks are tall and spectacular, which is very distinctive. Don't miss every opportunity to reach the summit,
To the northwest is the plains
Leaning back on the iron frame and Wang Qiaogu, take a selfie as a souvenir.
Cumulus massive cloud towers
The inscription "Golden Gate" on the mountain valley?
Climb up from the east side, ascend to the top, and suddenly see the Laoshan Reservoir and the majestic and beautiful Shimen Mountain Peak in the south. Near the front foot, the strange peaks and strange rocks are compared to each other, the rain is also more in the early autumn, the weather forecast is that there is rain today, and sure enough, the churning cumulonimbus clouds are coming again. Standing on the high point overlooking the peaks and peaks, the mountain scenery is beautiful. The clouds in the air seem to be in a fairyland, ascending in the leisure time, admiring the mountains and reservoirs, the blue sky and white clouds, the comfortable mood is indescribable, the refreshing lavender wind blows, the spirit is refreshing, the wilderness is far away, and the heart is also open!
Approach Wang Qiaogu
A village hidden in the mountains. The vitality that belongs to the mountain village is still the barking of chickens and dogs, and the breath that belongs to the mountain village is still the farmhouse meal, which is the original is the authenticity.
I remember the magnificence of the rough-faced clouds and milky clouds before watching the rain on a mountain climb a few years ago, and I remembered the famous sentence of Yang Du, the talent of the Republic of China, "Thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains are coming to me." Today, the name of the river in front of you is Baisha River, and the pine wind is mighty, like a sad wind, and I can't help but think of Du Fu's poem "Ascending"
The wind was rushing, and the tall apes roared in mourning, and the white bird of Nagisa Qingsha flew back.
Boundless falling wood, the Endless Yangtze River rolling in.
Wanli is often a guest in the autumn and has been on the stage alone for more than a hundred years.
Hardship hated the frost sideburns, and scribbled the newly stopped turbid wine glass.
The world is vast, life is short, years are fleeting, life is busy, busy people do not feel that life is difficult to see its original appearance, simple to innocence has become a shortage. Especially after middle age, people begin to crave simplicity. The simple is actually to break away from matter, and the essence is to break away from all kinds of superfluous thoughts. People who have too many thoughts can't do anything. Live a simple life and match it with simple thoughts. Removing useless language and unrealistic fantasies and living with down-to-earth actions is a lifelong practice.
Hiking and meditating in such an innocent landscape really has a kind of mind-free experience. People will become sharp and simple, less dependent on the outside world, and happy inside.
At this time, I was thinking a lot, a lot of things...
After getting off the signal stand, after going east on the semi-covered mountain road, and then turning back to the down, it was getting closer and closer to Wang Qiaogu. Looking at Wang Qiaogu, in a boundless green wave of the emerald sea, it was as majestic as a giant bird lying on its back. Maybe this mighty beast just broke out of the mountains? Or is it the beast of Zhenshan that has been lurking in the forest sea for a long time? It may have also lived in seclusion in a deep valley, and also lived in the ethereal Sea Immortal Mountain, and even the Tiger Heavenly Garden Yaochi Bar.
I always feel that there are some mysterious beings in the deep sea, desert or dense forest that human beings have not yet set foot in.
Maybe it's the ancient legendary Raybird Ji Beast,
Maybe it's survivors who have been mistaken for extinct,
Maybe it's an ancient species that hasn't been recorded yet,
Maybe it's because of serendipity that the new species is super-advanced,
Maybe even a life form left behind after an alien visitor has left...
Mushrooms like to bloom in such a wet season, on the roots of the trees, among the dry grass, blooming bush after bush. Like some timid little beast probe the brain to peek into the human world. Suddenly want to become a mushroom, life is short, but you can be fat and full regardless of the situation, and rejoice alone when others avoid the rainy season.
Mushroom flowers, I like that name. The mountains contain emotion, the water contains laughter, and the mushrooms blossom!
Wang Qiaogu was named after the Place during the Yongle Period of the Ming Dynasty because there were wang and Qiao surnames who avoided war and chaos.
In the autumn wind, I looked at Wang Qiaogu. It undulated like a beast's ridge, so silent for thousands of years. Those withered grasses and flowers, the birds, beasts, insects, and insects that are born and perished, the changing village Guo Yanmo, and I who stand here, in this mountain, are just a cloud of smoke. It's just that I thought the mountains and rivers would be lonely, but in fact, they have floating clouds, clear stars and moons, rain and snow and long winds... They are in an immortal vastness, and how can an ephemera like me feel it?
Climb to the top of The stone steps of Wang Qiaogu, and the wild grass is far away
The stone path winds into the clouds, and the immortals in the sky sit opposite each other. Thousands of beasts and birds crawl in the cold moonlight, only the phoenix travels through the heavens and the earth, the tail is ten feet, and the light is overflowing. The cave of the people at the top of the mountain, blowing is an ancient song from three thousand years ago. I want to drink with the immortals, drunk in the clouds!
The so-called "ruts" of artificial carving, dog tail followed by mink
Look north at Sanbiao Mountain
This arch-shaped trace may be that the scenic spot originally wanted to build a cave, but later abandoned it
There are stone carvings on the north side of the top of the Wang Qiaogu stone carving, which is said to be famous for the Ming Dynasty Wujin shi Zhou Lu to play here, leaving behind the four characters of "Dengzhou Zhou Lu". Unfortunately, I didn't find out.
This section of the wooden boardwalk is quite interesting
Walking in the mountains and carrying a hunting knife is my unique hobby.
"Golden Dog Barking Fairy"?
I look like a monkey!
Looking south at King Qiao Gu
At the bottom of the mountain, I encountered a piece of pine mushroom and had to pick it up.
Two-faced beast
Vineyards and quaint villages under the mountain
Quaint houses
Look east to King Qiao Gu
Thousands of flowers are still gorgeous, and slaughter is not the only theme of autumn.
The golden wind initially reduced heat, and the remaining flowers did not stop
The Children's Palace has been closed due to the epidemic.
Sure enough, as people say, once you take being alone and lonely as a pleasure, you can live calmly and comfortably.
A sense of silence is a pleasure, and there is more than enough leisure in this life.
It's good to walk in the mountains in a simple way
The mountain of this trip was captured
