I have composed poems for the spring rain, recited essays for the summer lotus, and placed the sorrows of many young people on the autumn wind. There are four seasons throughout the year. Ever since I became aware of them, I have only felt that winter is the most noble. In my eyes, she doesn't have to miss the time when the grass was all over the embankment, nor does she have to be sad about the fallen maples. She only has sky and earth, black and white, mountains and snow. One person and one house are the most beautiful scenery in the world.

I don’t know why, but on similar days, I can only look at the sunset and the bright moon, and the mountains and attics that I have never visited are also fascinating. After staying in one place for a long time, I always want to go out for a walk. Wearing a windbreaker and full of enthusiasm, we drove for nearly two hours to the foot of Longtou Mountain. We bought tickets and stocked up on food, and took the cable car up the mountain. Looking up and admiring all the way, it was really like: amidst the mountains and rivers splashing ink and clouds, we climbed to the peaks.

Longtou Mountain is not extraordinary, but it is absolutely steep. Compared with Taibai Mountain, the main peak of Qinling Mountains, Longtou Mountain is also magnificent.

Let’s talk about this steepness first. From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, you first have to take a cable car. The angle of the cable car’s cable can be seen with the naked eye to be more than 40 degrees. As the cable car gradually leaves the ground and slides upward to the middle, there is no reference around. There were only misty clouds in the distance. If I hadn't heard my own breathing clearly, the surroundings would have been eerily quiet. At this time, in order to catch a glimpse of this beautiful scenery, my joy overcame the fear of flying a hundred meters above the ground. I stood in the cable car, overlooking and looking around. The hands holding the phone to record were already stiff, but I still couldn’t bear to put them down to warm them. As soon as I get warm, I am afraid that if I miss it, I will never see it again, so I am so persistent in taking pictures, and I can’t help but admire: "Oh, it really looks like a splash-ink painting of mountains and rivers, amazing!"

Go up The mountainside platform is a steep snowy road that extends into the end of the jungle. Relying on a light blanket spread on the right side, walking up the right side with small steps, you can't help but be fascinated by the long distance in the distance. I am deeply attracted by the silver of the mountain. From time to time, the sound of stepping in the snow could be heard underfoot. The numerous trees on the roadside hung down their crystal branches and were lined up on the roadside. There were no words in silence, only the shock of silence - at this moment, I suddenly felt This is the art of nature, natural carvings.

People like me who come to see the magnificent scenery in the snow can enjoy the joy and beauty brought by nature here. I prefer to call them climbers rather than tourists. Climbers should have a pure meaning of exploring nature, and simply calling them or identifying them from the bottom of their hearts as tourists will miss a lot of mountain climbing and sightseeing. Cleansing the soul of purity.

This is a kingdom of ice and snow. Everyone I pass by has a smile on their face. No matter the elderly or the innocent children, they are their truest selves at this moment. The cutest elf. Looking from a distance, the happy and playful people in the ice and snow all look like a group of lovely children nurtured by nature...

Among these strange faces, I even think of the people I met when I was a child. Scene of companions building a snowman in winter. Maybe they must be like me at this moment. This beautiful scene also evokes the beautiful memories of their own childhood years, so they are so happy.

Along the way, there are countless miraculous natural works of art. There is a cylindrical stone shape like a cone in the gap between the two peaks. Because this mountain is Longtou Mountain, it is easy for people to admire it. Reminiscent of the sharp teeth of a giant dragon, and seeing that this stone has both spiritual and physical features, a plaque was called "Dragon Tooth"; there are also peaks that look like parrot heads, and a "dragon's spine" winding through the sea of ??clouds between the peaks. Everywhere you go, you can hear voices of approval.

The further you go to the top of the mountain, the more you feel the bone-chilling chill, but your heart is burning hot. All the way up, there are steep wooden stairs, covered with ice and frost. If you are not careful, you may fall and hurt your knees. Along the way, I have seen many people who are looking at the scenery, and their limbs are raised to the sky with one step. Others didn't dare to make fun of him when they saw it, so he laughed to himself, staggered to his feet, and continued to climb the tree branch toward the top of the steep slope to take a shortcut.

After staying in front of the platform on the top of the mountain for a long time, we came to the exit. On the other side in the opposite direction of the exit is the Dragon King Ling. The Dragon King Ling is also a mountain peak, because its peak reaches into the sky, proudly It stands upright and looks like a token, and it is named after the meaning of Hanzhong folklore. Whether it is the "Dragon Teeth" mentioned earlier or the "Dragon's Backbone" winding in the sea of ??clouds, they are closely related to the folk legend of Longtou Mountain. They also confirm the good wishes of all living beings to live and work in peace and contentment, and also reflect the Chinese nation's since ancient times. The mythological implication of the supreme worship of the dragon as a totem.

I also met a young man about my age on the road. He was wearing dark blue down and sweatpants, carrying a light blue backpack and a pair of dark sneakers. The most special thing about him was that he He had a small piece of hair tied on the back of his head, a pair of glasses, and white headphones. While listening to music, he hurriedly held up his mobile phone to find angles to capture the beautiful scenery along the way.

I didn’t meet any familiar people along the way. I just thought that this young man and I were watching the scenery one after another. I always encountered him squatting in a place and looking for an angle to take pictures. I felt that he should be the same. He was probably a student, so I approached him and struck up a conversation. I found out that he was a junior from a university in Xi'an. He came all the way by car and came all the way to shoot the scene. Quite similar to me, he was collecting materials for the school’s media department, and I was collecting them for myself. Photographing the scenery was secondary. Really experiencing nature was the original intention of this trip. Seeing that he looked quite similar to me, we walked all the way to the top of the mountain. On the way, we shared our experiences of the trip, learned some tips on taking photos, and recommended some good attractions. We agreed to go there next time. Take a walk and have a look. In the end, we didn't break up until we returned to the top of the main peak of Longtoushan Mountain, and we each walked down the stairs.

I know that my life is easy-going, and I just want to let nature take its course for some things. I should have planned the time before going up the mountain, but after hurriedly going down the mountain, I realized that only part of the Longtoushan Scenic Area was open, and many others were not open. I thought I was going too fast and missed it, but unexpectedly I realized later and thought that I had missed it. Missing is not a fault, everything is the best arrangement.
