[Love][Love][Love][Love]Mianshan: A fairyland hanging in the clouds This is my second time entering Mianshan. The moment you step onto the bluestone steps of Mianshan Mountain, the wind begins to whisper in your ears, carrying the sound of pine waves. This "Mianshang Mountain" recorded in "Shui Jing Zhu" leads tourists to the clouds with its nearly vertical cliffs. The suspended plank road hovers like a dragon between the cliffs. There is a deep abyss under your feet, but when you look up, you can see the clouds within reach. The golden roof of Daluo Palace is looming in the morning mist. This suspended Taoist temple, which was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, has 72 halls and pavilions that take advantage of the mountain. Its vermilion lacquered columns pierce the clouds, and the copper bells on the eaves compose fairy music with the mountain breeze. When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the sea of ​​clouds, the golden light flowing on the glazed tiles lingered with the green smoke from the incense burner, as if it were the red clouds overflowing when Laozi was refining the elixir. The wonders of Yunfeng Mountain always appear after the rain. Thousands of stone steps have been washed to a shine, leading visitors to a secret place like Penglai. A waterfall suddenly appears among the rugged rocks, and the moss-covered cliff carvings reveal the ancient people's awe of nature. The most wonderful thing is when you stand on the Guanyun Terrace, with clouds rolling like the sea under your feet. Suddenly, a mountain breeze blows by, and the clouds open to reveal dotted wild flowers in the deep valley, just like the Milky Way has fallen into the mortal world. On the way down the mountain, the mountain people carried bamboo baskets and walked briskly. Their figures appeared and disappeared in the clouds, as if Mianshan Mountain, which was suspended between heaven and earth, was a chess game left behind by immortals in the human world. There are buses to Jiexiu City.
