Yushan Mountain, halfway into the city... Eagle Line

Many years ago, I often came to Changshu for meetings at Yushan. I went to Xingfu Temple early the next morning to pray for blessings. I hope my company and family will go well together in the coming year. This time I saw the hike on Yushan on the WeChat account, and I was very dissatisfied. I thought it would be better to go to Moganshan, but unfortunately, Moganshan did not make the trip, so I retreated and chose the Yushan Eagle Line. The tweet did not describe this line accurately enough. It was obviously a dry season, so there shouldn't be any waterfalls... With this mood, we joined the group and headed to Changshu. Entering the side door of the scenic spot, began to go up along the steps, no wind and scorching sun, the first section of the road up made many people panting, I was sweating profusely, a little out of breath next time. Keep stopping to rest halfway through. Finally reaching the rest point, the leader advised the exhausted group members to leave the small ring (little eagle). My love and I felt okay after rest, thinking that after all, we had abused Wugong Mountain, this should be bearable, and started down the mountain with the leader to prepare to climb the second hill. Most of the middle section is walked in the scenic area. Although Yushan is small, the scenery is still beautiful: "Sword Gate", "Heavenly Book Wall", "Mo Cliff Stone Carvings", "Qian Xinxin", "Looking Lake Hall"... With your footsteps, these are like a picture one by one. Unfold before your eyes. After passing the long downhill steps, after a section of forested avenue of about 400m or so, shortly after crossing the connected Fuqiao, the last climb began, steep slope, mixed earth and rocks, continuous climb, almost no flat land, little gentle slope. Climbing in the 35° windless woods, consumes great physical strength, we climb 1/4 has been out of breath, padded back towel twisted out a lot of sweat, rest for a while, climb again dozens of meters, has felt powerless, afraid of heat stroke, had to rest again, replenish water. After this break, start climbing slowly, do not walk steep slopes, find some gentle slopes to reduce the intensity of the climb. On the way down the mountain on the return journey, the two finally joined the leader of the last team and slowly descended the mountain, dragging their tired bodies towards the junction. Sword Gate Scenic Area Yushan Scenic Area tip: 1, there is no need to back water, there are supplies along the way ... slightly expensive 2, hot weather to prevent heatstroke, carrying a fan is better 3, hot and windless, sweating is recommended to carry salt pills, glucose powder to prepare for emergencies.
