Shijiazhuang Tiangui Mountain West Gate Panshan Road

After coming down the steps of the White-Haired Girl Art Exhibition Hall, I was going to go back to the ticket gate because the jungle path I had found did not lead me to the top. Then I walked back to the village road I came from. Halfway through, I met a man pushing a wheelbarrow. He looked like a local villager. I asked him if I could go up the mountain from here. He told me I could. I said I had tried it here and couldn’t get through the jungle and there was no road. He told me to take the road over there. After about one kilometer, turn right and walk into the small mountain road. Then walk four kilometers of winding mountain road to reach the scenic area. But there is a gate over there. Although you can’t get in, you can go around it from the bottom. 🙇 With the experience he gave me, I turned back again😂 At this three-way intersection, I headed towards the Tianqiao Mountain Yinhe Cave Scenic Area. But we didn’t go to this place, but turned into the Tiangui Mountain Scenic Area halfway through the journey (about one kilometer later, you will see a white building⛪️, which seems to be a place to eat or stay. I didn’t go closer to see it at the time. Anyway, there is only this one building on the whole road. When you see this building, don’t go forward, just turn right and there is a very obvious mountain road)😎 The scenery along this winding mountain road is endless. You can enjoy the scenery while walking. It is even more beautiful than in the scenic area before entering. These are the peaks illuminated by the morning sun. After turning a few more corners, you will come to another obvious area. Because it is full of garbage, it is a big garbage dump. The reason for checking in here is to let everyone know that as long as you come here, it proves that you are not going the wrong way. Don't worry, just keep going forward 😎 The peaks along the way are also very different. There are pointed peaks and flat ones like steamed buns and bread. You have to check in and record every beautiful place during the journey. After taking a short break at the corner, I continued my winding mountain road. According to the old people in the village, this winding mountain road is about four kilometers long. Now we should be almost halfway there. Except that the shape of the mountain in the distance is basically similar to that below, the ground is completely different. I still remember when I first turned into this winding mountain road, the dirt road was a bit muddy but still easy to walk on. But now it is covered with snow, so if you want to get through, you have to wade through the thick snow that is higher than your shoes. At this time, I finally understood why the old man said before I left that if you drive, you can't go up, because the snow is so thick that you can't drive here directly. If it's an off-road vehicle, it might be okay🙇 This snowy section lasted for a long time, at least one-third of the entire winding mountain road. There were a few footprints on it that were almost covered by snow, so I concluded that they must not have been left in the past few days. It must have been a long time since anyone walked this road. On the snowy road, I checked in to the snow-covered rocky mountain of Tiangui Mountain, and also checked in to the sunshine view of the opposite mountain and the airplane line. I have to say that there are too many airplane lines on Tiangui Mountain. It can be said that since I went up from the jungle and then went back to find a way to climb the mountain, the airplane line has never been broken during this process. It has been flying in the sky. I don’t know what it is doing🧐 Of course, none of this matters. What matters is that I stood on the rock to check in and my body actually surpassed the height of the mountain. This scene was so cool 😎 Just when I thought the snowy road was beautiful enough, I gradually walked out of the lower half and came to the upper half of the winding mountain road. Here, the sun could shine, so there was basically no snow on the road. The real beauty of this winding mountain road gradually emerged before my eyes. The gravel road is much more comfortable to walk on than the dirt road, and the tall weeds on both sides are simply a scene of paradise. The straw, gravel road, sparse green trees and majestic peaks are all perfectly combined with me. Although I haven't reached the scenic area yet, I have already quietly concluded in my heart that the most beautiful scenery of Tiangui Mountain is here🧐 I checked in here in the face of strong winds. Although I took beautiful photos, I paid a little price. The phone was blown down on the gravel road by the strong wind when I was taking photos. There was a little flaw because my phone did not come with a tempered glass film, but the problem was not big. As long as I took beautiful photos, it was worth it. 😁 The wind was very strong all the way to Xitianmen, so I started wearing a hat, otherwise I couldn't stand it. As for this Xitian Gate, I only knew about it when I walked here and saw it. I didn't know it before. Looking back, this should be the door that the old man said could not be entered. And I went to see it and it was indeed closed and I couldn't get in. I just checked in in front of the door to record it. If I had walked straight over there, I might have had to go back the same way. At this time, the words of the village elder that I could go around it from the path below kept echoing in my ears. Then I started looking for the so-called path. It was right below the door and it was overgrown with weeds. If you didn't look carefully, it would be hard to find. Now that I had found the path, I would try to see if I could get through it. But one thing is that this path is still a little dangerous. I had to hold on to something and walk slowly.
