The car was driving on the Sanao Snow Mountain Ring Road, preparing to go to Otana BC Base Camp for a hike at an altitude of about 3,000 meters, so that students who would climb the mountain in a few days could further adapt to the high-altitude environment.
They had also signed up for a few days, and during this time they had been undergoing physical strengthening training, which made some people with weak physiques complain incessantly.
People who are in good health do not need to perform this step, so Chen Xing has been wandering around the base in the past few days, chatting with the team coach about the stories they encountered in the snowy mountains.
He hadn't checked into the B&B yet, so he took a look.
The modern and Tibetan-style decoration made Chen Xing feel uncomfortable everywhere he looked. He was also worried that this mixed decoration would make the rewards worse, so he simply waited until he arrived in Tibet before considering living in a Tibetan house.
When we arrived at the Otana BC base camp, the car stopped.
More than a dozen people filed down.
The leader is coach Chen Zhibing, and today’s hiking plan is led by him.
After Chen Xing got off the car, he saw the house and tent on the snow in front of him. The house was in tatters and it was hard to believe whether it could still fulfill its mission of sheltering from wind and rain. It seemed not as strong and durable as those privately built tents.
After getting out of the car, Mu Qing noticed Chen Xing's gaze and said, "We will also camp here when the time comes. Then we will go hiking in the morning and finish work in the afternoon and go home."
When Qi Zhixin heard what Mu Qing said, he shook his head and said, "I'm really free. I've been training for half a month and only a few hours of climbing."
Mu Qing frowned and retorted:
"Why do you say that? Is the knowledge you have taught us during this period fake? Even if those mountaineering skills are not used on this snow mountain, they will be used on other higher snow mountains in the future. This is training the goal of."
"Yes, yes, I am superficial."
Qi Zhixin came to the training camp after he broke up with his girlfriend and had nothing to do. He didn't know why he chose mountain climbing among so many sports.
Among the thirteen people participating in the winter camp, he was the only one who was not so enthusiastic about mountain climbing.
Even Chen Xing is looking forward to the kind of game with oneself during mountain climbing, and the feeling of freedom that inexplicably wells up in his heart after reaching the top.
This has nothing to do with the task rewards given by the system.
Coach Chen saw everyone getting off the bus and said:
"Okay, let's start today's hiking training. We will return to our base from here. If we make it in time, we can catch the evening meal. We made stewed black chicken with matsutake mushrooms today. After two days of rest, we will officially start climbing."
Today everyone went out with equipment, including tents, raincoats, sleeping bags, GPS, binoculars, etc. in their backpacks.
In fact, most of these equipment will not be used during this mountaineering process. The purpose of purchasing them is actually to facilitate climbing other snow-capped mountains in the future.
If it is just for Otana, then just bring your tent to Sanao Camp. Although it is not as famous as Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang, it is still a good snow mountain attraction.
Lu Yan, Mu Qing, Chen Xing and Qi Zhixin walked together, forming a small group.
Among the dozen or so people, there are also senior and second senior brothers. Lu Yan is the senior senior brother among the thirteen of them. Chen Xing is the youngest. Everyone calls him junior brother these days. However, Chen Xing’s physical ability is that of these people. The best inside.
In terms of endurance alone, the coach is probably not as good as him.
A gust of wind blew from the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Chen Xing pulled on his assault suit.
Although the weather today is a bit cloudy, it is very transparent. On the right side of the road are endless snowfields and snow-capped mountains. The distance is blocked by clouds and fog and cannot be seen clearly. From time to time, there are vehicles passing through the road, appearing and disappearing, appearing and disappearing again.
Many people will also open their windows and give a thumbs up when they see them.
They probably thought that this group of people had just come down from the snow-capped mountains.
Chen Xing looked back at the Otana Snow Mountain. In the white snow at the top of the mountain range, almost motionless white clouds were vaguely visible on the white snow.
At this time, a ray of sunshine began to appear in the sky, and the haze in the entire sky suddenly dispersed, becoming transparent and making the sky blue.
camera!
Chen Xing subconsciously went to get the camera, but quickly turned his hand and took out his mobile phone.
The sun is now peeking out from the clouds, and a small piece of it is already shining on the snow-capped mountains. Soon it will form a beam of light, falling on the snow-capped mountains like Buddha's light. This scenery is beautiful just thinking about it.
When Chen Xing stopped to get ready, several people around him also stopped.
"What was he taking pictures of?"
"have no idea."
The scenery in nature is ever-changing, and it is difficult for ordinary people to capture it in advance. But most people majoring in photography or art have a unique understanding of light. Light is their most reliable partner in the process of becoming an unknown artist.
The beam formed very quickly and the view was already beautiful.
The sunlight emerging from the clouds turned the white snow on the top of Otana into a golden color.
More and more people stopped, and many passing vehicles also stopped. They looked at the snow-capped mountains and quickly found their photography equipment.
Chen Xing guessed that this scene would take about half a minute to form. When the light spreads, it would not be so beautiful.
So I quickly took pictures with my camera and mobile phone.
Fortunately, their location was very good. They were not at the bottom of the mountain, nor at the base camp very close to the top of the mountain. This kind of distance, which is a little far but not too far, can capture the most beautiful sun beams.
After 30 seconds passed, the light spread, and the picture was no longer as stunning as before.
Qi Zhixin rushed over and hooked Chen Xing's neck and said, "Junior brother, you are indeed a professional photographer. How did you know?"
"Feeling it?"
Mu Qing also put away his camera and said, "It's so beautiful! This should be the most beautiful scenery photo I have ever taken."
Everyone was in high spirits and walked more vigorously.
However, there are still weak people. After walking for two hours, at a corner, a man in his thirties couldn't hold it back and vomited. However, this did not affect the chat of Chen Xing and his small group. .
Lu Yan shared with everyone the knowledge about Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and said: "Xiao Chen, the top of the mountain you climbed to when traveling to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is actually not the highest peak. Did you see that there is actually a higher mountain up there? It's very steep. that."
"have."
Although the weather was average that day, we did see higher mountains.
"That's the highest mountain in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, called Fan Peak, with an altitude of 5,600 meters. That mountain is amazing. Due to its special geological structure, unstable airflow, and prone to avalanches, no one has climbed to the top so far. , more difficult than Mount Everest.”
Mu Qing groaned and asked, "No way. Mount Everest is over 8,000 meters. Is 5,060 meters difficult?"
Lu Yan smiled and said:
"You don't understand this. Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world. No matter how difficult it is, some people will take the risk to climb it. But Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is not very famous and it is so dangerous. Even if you risk it, you will not be able to climb it." How about it? It’s useless.”
Chen Xing was multitasking, but he was obviously more focused on the photos he just took.
The results captured by mobile phones are average. Although Chen Xing has used RAW format, mobile phones are still unable to capture large-format natural scenery.
It seems that mobile phones are not suitable for taking landscape photos.
