The Ten-Mile Painted Screen of Laojun Mountain is absolutely stunning! A landscape painting brought to life

Standing on the suspended plank road of the Ten-Mile Painted Screen,
suddenly I understand why poets love to express their feelings through mountains and waters⛰️

When beneath your feet is a plank road winding around the mountain like a jade belt,
beside you is a surging sea of clouds☁️,
before your eyes are jagged peaks and strange forests carved like with an axe,
in the distance, layers of mountains rise and fall,
each step reveals a new scene🏞️,
every frame is a flowing ink painting,
all worries shrink infinitely,
nature’s craftsmanship is the most effective ibuprofen❤️

Once I didn’t know about the heavenly palaces⛩️,
now I do,
that kind of flowing beauty,
so ethereal,
yet truly exists,
no phone or camera can capture it.

In school, the Chinese textbook always said poets express their feelings through mountains and waters,
I didn’t understand before,
now looking back, it hits me right in the heart🌈

I also suddenly understand
why immortals and Taoist priests like to cultivate and seek enlightenment in the mountains,
every mountain has its own magnetic field⛰️,
probably only in the mountains
can one calm down and find oneself.

Looking at the spectacular peak forest before me🏞️,
I feel there’s no need to waste energy
on meaningless people and things,
“The world is vast, and so is life”🎉
For this Ten-Mile Painted Screen,
I must visit Laojun Mountain❤️

It is said that the 1986 TV series "Journey to the West" was also filmed here,
those fairyland-like vast seas of clouds,
the golden palace shining atop the mountain peak,
the cliff-hanging plank roads suspended in midair,
many scenes were shot at Laojun Mountain.
