Hiking - Songshan#
A few days ago, I went to Dengfeng to hike Songshan, and my overall feeling during the two days in Dengfeng was quite good.
Cultural Atmosphere#
Previously, I saw that the fried knife-cut noodles in Dengfeng were quite good in the travel guide. I specifically went to try them; the address is a small shop next to the Dengfeng Bus Station. I personally think the taste is good, the portion is generous, and the price is reasonable.
The people of Dengfeng are also very warm. When looking for a homestay, the owners I met were very enthusiastic and patiently answered my accommodation needs.
Dengfeng has a relaxed pace of development, with public transportation mainly consisting of buses, and the intervals between bus services are mostly over 30 minutes, with many taxis available.
Hiking#
This time I hiked Taishi Mountain in Songshan; last year I went to Shaoshi Mountain.
The route I chose to ascend Taishi Mountain was Songyang Academy to Junji Peak. This time was different from the "special vertical soldier style" of climbing Tai Mountain; I walked and stopped, with a total distance of 6.2 kilometers, taking 3 hours. There are many supply points along the way, and the scenery in winter is average. The descent route is Junji Peak to Luya Waterfall, which is the longest and most perilous of the three routes on Taishi Mountain. Along the way, I occasionally encountered a few small cats, and the steps in the narrow sky are very steep, with two suspension bridges. At the foot of this route, there is a ski resort, and it is quite crowded. The total distance is 9.7 kilometers, taking 2 and a half hours.
After hiking, it is necessary to stretch the muscles promptly to recover; otherwise, there will be soreness in the leg muscles. This time, I did not stretch in time, resulting in soreness in the outer thigh muscles and inner calf muscles the day after the hike.
Doing muscle stretching, soaking my feet, and taking a hot shower on the night after hiking was very helpful for alleviating muscle soreness and recovery.
