most of us from Conghua like mountain climbing. Every year on the Double Ninth Festival, the open hills are bound to be crowded with people. Some professionals organize various types of mountaineering teams to drive more amateurs. They not only climb one mountain at a time, but often have several peaks in Lian Deng, most of which are more than 1 meters above sea level, forming a chain climbing fever. Near the end of the year, the "Ten Lian Deng" was the most frequently spoken by teammates. Some people are busy to complete the last boarding of the year; Some people are already preparing to complete the celebration after the "Ten Boats". On December 27th, 22, the sky was clear and the wind was light, which was another good day for mountain climbing. We set off again, heading all the way north to liang kou, the place with the highest peak of 1, meters in Conghua.
At eleven o'clock, we arrived in liang kou and met the famous mountaineer Bei Ge. Guided by him, we drove straight to the Crescent Lake in Wuzhishan, and then climbed the stairs. This section of the road is not difficult for us except for a steep slope. Along the way, the guide talked and laughed and told us many stories about mountains. One of the stories, which is very interesting, happened in Wuzhishan. Legend has it that the famous ancient geomantic master, Lai Buyi's disciple, Romantic Jiu, found many famous caves in Conghua. His teacher said that he can only benefit from others, not himself. Merry nine had to make a mark on each cave name mountain he found, waiting for the right person. Due to various reasons, until now, there are still several famous caves without owners, and some people can't find them if they want to find them. The famous mountain on Wuzhishan is said to be marked by a hillside surrounded by inverted bamboo.
what is an inverted bamboo? It is said that the branches of this kind of bamboo don't grow upward, but grow downward, just like the newly cut bamboo stuck upside down on the ground. Branches grow to a certain length, and then slowly grow upwards, forming a beautiful arc. Many people in the mountains say that they have seen this kind of bamboo, one in the east and one in the west. It is not a forest, and the location of the famous mountain cannot be determined. Legend has it that once, a pair of grandsons went to the mountains to look for bamboo, and when they were tired of looking for it, grandpa rested on a hillside and asked his grandson to fetch some water from the mountain stream. When the grandson returned to the hillside after pumping water, he found that his grandfather had disappeared and could not be found around. Suddenly, he seemed to see grandpa's shadow on the mound on the hillside, so he dug up the mound desperately and rescued grandpa. Grandpa woke up and said that the land god said that he was destined to find a famous cave, so he followed the land god in. It was the grandson who dragged his hind feet and couldn't keep up with the footsteps of the land god, so he came back. In this way, the grandfather and grandson knew that this was the location of the famous mountain, so they used bamboo as a marker and went home. The next day, they came here again with tools such as hoes and wanted to make further arrangement. I saw all the bamboos in the mountains and plains, but I don't know which bamboo is the mark. Some local teachers say that if the grandson doesn't drag his hind feet, after grandpa enters the famous cave, he should enjoy the local feng shui, which will benefit future generations.

listening to the story, we have unconsciously crossed the Wuzhishan area and reached the mountain road to climb the old Hutou Mountain. There are many bamboos on both sides of the path, which form a large piece. I paid attention to the bamboo I saw along the way to see if I could find the bamboo inserted backwards. I think, if we can find this kind of bamboo to make bamboo bonsai, it should be very beautiful. It is said that a professor in south china botanical garden, Guangzhou, once took several students and asked the local people to be guides to look for inverted bamboo as a new bamboo species in the Botanical Garden. They climbed several mountains and went down several ravines, only to find a kind of inverted bamboo, which was planted in the botanical garden, and the new bamboo grew back to the appearance of ordinary bamboo. There are also bamboo bonsai lovers who go to the mountains to find this kind of bamboo bonsai, but they also return empty-handed.
Old Hutou Mountain, as the name suggests, should look like a tiger! Many people think that the stone on the top of the mountain is the head of a tiger. When I climbed Laohutou Mountain for the second time, I saw it carefully along the way. Many big stones looked like tigers on different sides. Next to a boulder, we also took photos of the tiger's mouth and teeth. This tiger's head stone is very real. According to the guide, the real tiger head stone is not on the top of the mountain, but on the cliff near the south. We followed the direction pointed by the guide, and as soon as we looked at it, we saw the shadow of a suspected tiger head. This is a complete tiger, with its head facing the direction of Shantou-Zhanjiang Expressway in the south, with its two front paws protruding forward and stepping on the hillside. The tiger body is bent and pressed against its hind legs to form a ridge, and the whole old tiger is lying on the mountain. This is the real old Hutou Mountain. The big stone on the top of the mountain in the back may be a tiger cub and a tiger grandson. The big tiger is peaceful and leisurely, and the little tiger is alive and kicking. What a Carrefour! It's very much like a yellow wax hidden stone "big lion and little lion" in my house. I'm a little confused. We only saw the part before, but not the whole. Although the boulder on the top of the mountain is a bit like a tiger, especially when the sunset shines. Compared with the big tiger introduced to us by the guide, the boulder on the hill can only be regarded as a little tiger. The whole mountain is a vivid tiger's nest! When we told others about our discovery, it seemed that few people could understand it. Show them the photos of the tiger's mouth and teeth, which are similar, but no one can find the boulder. Look at different angles, the similarity will be different! It is a common phenomenon that narrow vision limits our imagination.

Near the top of the mountain, there are many small scenes formed by stones. There are a pair of small stone monkeys snuggling up to each other. They are lovers. There are even a pair of big soles of the feet, which seem to step over Wuzhishan. Looking at it from another angle, it has turned into a pair of big stone shoes. That's what Kuafu wore when he was chasing the sun! Step on Wuzhishan with both feet, and then you can chase the sun with one step. If you are enthusiastic about landscape photography, there is unlimited room for your imagination.
On that day, many people climbed the Old Tiger Mountain, some in groups and some alone. I made a rough count. There are about 1 people, mostly young people, many of whom are college students. In nine university campuses in Conghua, most of them have mountaineering associations, which is also promoted by the environment in Conghua! Not many climbers in their fifties were seen at that time. Like me in my late seventies, it may be the only one. I am a credit to young people, and I can take a ride with them to participate in this activity. I don't feel particularly tired because I often take part in outdoor activities. The last time we visited the second peak of Wuzhishan, we heard a fellow traveler say that they came from Laohutou Mountain and asked about the relevant route. When they got down to Sancha Mountain Road, the three people in the same group immediately changed their route and went straight to Laohutou Mountain. When we arrived at Laohutou Mountain, the sun was almost setting, so we had to take some photos and hurried down the mountain from the original road. We didn't see many scenic spots and didn't climb along the rope to another hill, leaving some regrets. There is plenty of time for climbing this time, so naturally I won't give up all the opportunities to reflect the fun of climbing. When I grabbed the rope and slowly descended to the bottom of the rock, and then climbed the other side of the hill, a joy of completing the expedition filled my heart. On the other side of Laohutou Mountain, I found many people coming out from under the trees. Judging from their exhausted appearance, they must have come up from Liangkou side at the foot of the mountain, which is different from the serial route of Wuzhishan that we took.
When I was coming down the mountain, I saw abandoned mineral water bottles and other rubbish on the rocks. I didn't forget to tell everyone loudly, "Please take your rubbish down the mountain consciously! "It has also received many responses. "Yes, take the garbage down the mountain", many people say, and I feel comforted in my heart. At this time, it is much easier to see whether a person is a good person or a bad person. A person who intentionally leaves garbage on the mountain, no matter how well he speaks orally or how high his position is, will definitely be no better there in terms of personality.
when we went down the mountain, we were still in full swing, and we climbed Sanjiao Mountain, which is about two kilometers away from Laohutou Mountain. Limited by the topic, I won't describe it in detail here.
