The cane looks at the cinnabar hermitage and climbs. Ten miles, on the yellow mud gang. The peaks in the clouds gradually revealed and gradually fell to the bottom of my staff.

Turning into the stone gate, the more the Tiandu threatens to go down, then the Tiandu, the lotus two tops, all show the sky and a half. On the side of the road, one went east, but it was the one who had not been there in the past, and then it went straight up, almost to the side of Tiandu.

Go north and go to the rocks. The pinnacle is clamped up piece by piece; The road is like a stone, the plug is chiseled, the steep is leveled, and the broken is erected.

With a cane in hand, he watched the cinnabar hermitage climb from afar. Ten miles, ascend the Huangnigang. The peaks that had been shrouded in mist just now gradually revealed themselves and gradually fell under my crutches.

Turn into the stone gate, from Tiandu Peak.

The side crosses down, so the two peaks of Tiandu and Lotus are beautifully protruding in the sky.

There was a fork in the road to the east, which I had never walked before, so I went straight up the fork road, almost up to the side of Tiandu Peak. He went north again, and walked through the crevices of the stones. Patches of pinnacles rise between the pinnacles, the road twists and turns, the blocked places are chiseled, the steep places are built with steps, the broken places are crossed by wood, and the overhangs are connected by ladders.

Looking down, the valley is steep and gloomy, and the maple and pine trees are mixed with each other, colorful, like pictures and splendid splendor; So I thought that the Yellow Mountain should be a wonder in my lifetime, but there is such a strange scenery that I have not explored before, and this time I am really happy and ashamed to visit again!

After walking for thirty miles, we arrived at Lianghuang Mountain. I heard that the tigers here hurt dozens of people in a month, so I had to stay in a hostel.

On the first day of April, it rained in the morning. After traveling fifteen miles, the road forked, the horse's head faced west towards Taishan, and the sky gradually cleared. After walking for another ten miles, we reached Songmen Ridge, the mountain was high and the road was slippery, so I had to give up the horses and walk.

Since Fenghua, although several mountains have been crossed, they are all along the foothills; At this time, it is necessary to twist and turn on the mountain, climbing and descending, all on the ridge. After the rain, the sound of the spring water, the scenery of the mountains, change back and forth, and the flowers in the green bushes reflect the flowers, which makes people forget the hard work when they climb here. After walking another fifteen miles, I had dinner at the Bamboo Temple.

Wheat is planted everywhere on the top of the mountain.

2. Translation: After climbing the mountain and walking for more than a mile, I saw the mountain spring gurgling down. Leaning down to get a bird's-eye view, there is also a towering rock wall, and the clear spring water rushes out from the halfway point of the rock wall, and there is a sparse bamboo forest nearby, which makes people very interested.

However, it has been climbed to Sangu Peak, and it is too late to return to patronize, so it is from Sangu Peak and go up half a mile again, and arrive at the Bone Changing Rock, which is the back cliff of the Manting Peak, and there is a nunnery in front of the Bone Changing Rock. From the two layers of hanging ladders erected behind the bone changing rock, another hanging rock is ascended. The overhanging rocks are not very deep, and they surround the top of the mountain like a stacked peak.

The locals used wooden planks to build their houses along the rock walls, some curved, some straight, some high, some low, all along the rock walls.
