I encountered a lonely tree on the Nantaihang Daughter Ladder route

This lonely tree was found on the road from Dunshou Temple to Houquan. It doesn’t crowd with the forest, nor does it cling to other trees. It stands in the open field guarding the sunset and moonrise, turning all the silence into a unique form. There’s no need to force a shadow to walk with it, just like this tree, it can receive the gifts of the four seasons all by itself. This route is a loop of Daughter Ladder—Dunshou Temple—General Ladder. Anyone with a basic level of fitness can complete this route. Although there are more climbing sections in the beginning, the rest is all flat paths. Along the way, you will encounter goats, small farmhouses, and even some big fat pigs being raised. ⚠️ The section coming down from General Ladder is very difficult to walk. The ground is covered with fallen leaves, and hidden under the leaves are slippery loose stones. Remember to wear non-slip shoes. ⚠️ The temperature in the mountains is low. You won’t feel cold while climbing, but once you stop, the chill will hit you. Bring extra clothes. A three-in-one jacket with fleece is recommended. ⚠️ The wind is strong at the top of the mountain. Don’t forget to bring a hat to keep warm and protect from the sun. Today’s OOTD: 👕: Jinen 🧢: Jinen
