Qingdao | Mystery of Clapping Ladder
#fallingseason
Heshan Scenic Area is a hidden gem nestled in the lush greenery of Qingdao. The moment I stepped foot in this serene oasis, I felt like I was entering a fairy tale.💎
The main highlight of this area is, without a doubt, the stunning Heshan Mountain. It's not a towering peak, but it's filled with natural beauty. As I hiked through the mountain trails, I was treated to breathtaking views of the city, the coastline, and the surrounding forests. The lush greenery and the tranquil ponds added to the charm. 🥾
Now, here's something really special - the Red Leaves Valley. If you visit during autumn, you'll be greeted by a sea of fiery red and orange leaves. It's like walking into a painting! 🍁
The Heshan Scenic Area also has several temples, like the Lao Shan Temple and the Sanqing Temple. These temples are not only places of worship but also repositories of history and culture. The architecture and the serene atmosphere inside are simply captivating.👀
This scenic area is an escape from the bustling city life. It's a place to connect with nature, explore history, and embrace tranquility. If you ever find yourself in Qingdao, a visit to Heshan is a must. It's a place where time seems to slow down, and every step reveals a new layer of beauty and culture. You'd absolutely love it!🤩
Tips and Tricks ⁉️
🤐There is fairly unknown spot called 招鹤回鸣.
If you clap 👏 your hands facing towards ladder you'll hear bird like 🦚 sounds as an echo. Locals says the echo sounds like a crane.
If you walk the same ladder than people at the top will hear a water drop like sounds. 💧The heavier step, the more distinct sound you'll get.
Enjoy!💛❤️🧡

Suggestions:
Mount He Scenic Area needs to climb the mountain. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and clothes. There are many undeveloped roads when going down the mountain, so be careful
It is recommended to come and play in autumn. The scenery on the mountain is very beautiful in autumn, and the persimmons under the mountain are ripe and super beautiful
You must experience the fun of Gulong Cave. It is recommended to bring your own water. There is no water for sale on the mountain
Experience: Jimo Mount He Scenic Area is very close to our school. I have always wanted to find time to go there. I took advantage of the busy schedule to hike Mount He. There are many persimmon trees at the foot of the mountain. It's not the time yet. I heard from the locals that there will be a Persimmon Festival in mid-to-late October. Think about the heavy and yellow persimmons hanging on the branches, the bluestone path under the tree, and the chickens, ducks and geese surrounding you, it's so interesting! There are many Taoist temples on the mountain. Mount He is a branch of Laoshan. Taoist culture has a long history. There are also wonders such as the Water Ring Sky Ladder and the Clapping Crane! The most interesting thing on the mountain is the Gulong Cave. Between the narrow stone cracks, everyone rolls one after another to continue climbing. Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the surroundings, the distant mountains are undulating, and the autumn wind blows, which is refreshing. Mount He is not very high, it is very friendly to people with poor physical strength or the elderly and children. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, forget the troubles of work and study, many sceneries can only be seen by hiking, so plan quickly!
