[Daqi Mountain | A Long Letter to the Magnificent from Cliffs and Sea of Clouds]

Deep in the mountains of Quzhou, Zhejiang, Daqi Mountain stands like a natural masterpiece sculpted by time. Its cliffs are steep and towering, its peaks cascade and crisscross, and its valleys crisscross. Clouds and mist often linger between the peaks, draping the mountain like a soft veil. Pine and bamboo forests dot the landscape, and gurgling streams linger. The air is filled with the refreshing scent of earth, stone, and plants, creating a soothing experience.

In the early morning, a thin mist shrouds the mountainside, and the sea of clouds stretches like a long, white cotton ball, making the mountains appear and disappear. The hiking trail is quiet and refreshing, carpeted with pine needles, mingled with the sounds of birdsong and the creek. Light filtering through the mist casts a warm glow on the rocky cliffs. The afternoon light is at its brightest, revealing the texture of the cliffs, the creek and trees complement each other, and a gentle breeze caresses the air, making the entire mountain forest whisper the power of nature.

At dusk, the setting sun paints the peaks and valleys a golden orange. Clouds drift gently, creating a play of light and shadow. The distant stream reflects the mountain's shadows, creating a magnificent and gentle scene. Truly breathtaking, the panoramic view from the summit is truly breathtaking: cliffs, pine forests, and valleys overlap, clouds drift, and the mountain and sky merge into one. Time seems to stand still in this moment.

If time permits, take a leisurely hike along the hiking trail or rest by the stream, capturing the play of light and shadow, and feeling the interwoven rhythm of cliffs, sea of clouds, and stream. You'll understand then: Daqishan is not just a scenic spot, but a long poem composed of cliffs, sea of clouds, and streams. Every step brings a sense of natural grandeur and tranquility.
