The leisurely walk in Qingyuan Mountain

5A Qingyuan Mountain I got up in the morning, it was 2 degrees, the sun was shining, and I didn't feel cold. Around 10 o'clock, I entered the Qingyuan Mountain scenic area and immediately felt the air was exceptionally fresh. The mountain trail or stone steps or wooden plank road are well built, with clear signs: \"The fitness trail to the top of the mountain is a total of 2700 meters\". It seems that the park does not think it has any particularly touching landscapes or cultural stories. In actual walking, although there are no wonders, there are three points of interest: the statue of Laozi at the foot of the mountain (national protection), the stupa of Master Hongyi halfway up the mountain, and the cliff statue of Shijiamouni from the Song Dynasty near the top of the mountain (national protection). There are several huge rocks along the way, with inscriptions from ancient and modern times, making the climb not so monotonous. Especially the return to simplicity by Master Hongyi, the vigorous and powerful stone carvings of the Buddha character, can be savored over and over again. Standing on the viewing platform of General Rock, you can see the whole Quanzhou city area. The area from Amitabha Rock to General Rock is the most rich in scenery. It is also the steepest, and many tourists stop and pant. In fact, going further to Nantai Rock, there is no more scenery, and there are some restaurants along the way, which add a bit of chaos. Tourists can stop and return. When I reached Nantian Platform, the whole journey took about two hours and climbed 428 meters. There is a big stall where Quanzhou people drink morning tea after climbing the mountain. I ordered spicy blood sausage, chicken feet and small steamed buns. The taste was good, and the average cost was three euros. Then I took the park bus down the mountain. On a beautiful day with a breeze, climbing high and looking far, it makes people feel refreshed, and I can't help but sigh that Guangdong and Fujian are good places for winter outings.
