HARPER POOLE

It's not that one leaf obstructs the view, it's just that I am in the midst of this mountain

March, the time when spring is gradually thickening, I embarked on a journey to Mount Laojun alone. This trip was not for anything else, but to explore the legendary fairyland and to feel the tranquility and mystery of the mountains. In the early morning, I packed my bags and set off on the road to Mount Laojun. Along the way, I saw mountains upon mountains, all lush and green. However, this seemingly peaceful forest hides endless vicissitudes and stories. Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, I chose to take the cable car. As the cable car slowly ascended, I looked down at the mountains below and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion. These mountains, these waters, these clouds, seemed to be telling something, and I, just a passerby, was trying to listen to their voices. Upon reaching the summit, I first visited the Golden Summit Taoist temples. Despite the weathering, these temples still stand firm. I wandered among them, feeling the profoundness and solemnity of Taoist culture. Each temple seemed to be a witness to history, silently guarding this land. Then, I came to the glass viewing platform. Standing here, I felt as if I was in the clouds, surrounded by endless seas of clouds and mountains. I closed my eyes and felt the breath of nature, and a wave of inexplicable emotion surged in my heart. For lunch, I tasted the local specialties at a small shop on the mountain top. Although there were no delicacies from the mountains and seas, it had its own unique flavor. After the meal, I sat alone on the open ground at the summit, looking at the distant peaks and the nearby sea of clouds, and my mind was filled with inexplicable thoughts. In the afternoon, I continued along the mountain road. The scenery along the way, though not dramatic, was full of charm. I passed through woods, crossed streams, and felt the gifts and power of nature. In the evening, I arrived at Mane Ridge. From here, I could overlook the entire beauty of Mount Laojun. The setting sun's afterglow spread over the mountains, turning everything golden. I stood quietly here, enjoying this peace and beauty. As night fell, I took the cable car down the mountain. On the cable car, I looked back at Mount Laojun, filled with emotion. These mountains, these waters, these clouds, will become unforgettable memories in my life. Back home, I sat alone at the table, reminiscing about the day's experiences. Mount Laojun, a place full of mystery and charm, made me feel the greatness and power of nature. I believe that in the days to come, I will set foot on this land again to explore more unknowns and beauties.
