Exhausted at the Buddha-viewing Platform of Wulong Mountain

After touring the Medicine King Hall, you can choose to return to the mountain road or continue to visit these right-turn corner temples 🧐 . After visiting each temple, you have to go back down and then continue up to the next one. Above the Medicine King Hall is the Dragon King Hall, where the temples uniformly hang two red lanterns, which are quite beautiful and full of symmetrical aesthetic 🧐 . Above the Dragon King Hall, I discovered a Sea God Hall that I had never encountered before. The novelty instantly maxed out 🧐 As the name suggests, the Sea God Hall is probably dedicated to a certain sea deity. But since there are no people here yet, I can freely check in without being photobombed. Otherwise, with a bunch of people kneeling and worshipping, not leaving even if it takes all day, it would really be impossible to take pictures 😁 . After the Sea God Hall is the Jade Emperor Hall above, which is more familiar and common, and also marks the end of this stretch of temples 🙇 . Further up is a fork in the road. One path goes straight up, and the other turns right. Both sides have an 800-meter stairway to heaven. In fact, it's a dangerous section of Wulong Mountain. You can go up either way, but the right side has some other landscapes, so I chose to take the right path 🧐 . This path is really treacherous when turning up. The steps are very steep, and the distance is not short. Halfway up, I felt the need to replenish my energy, so I sat down to rest, eat something, and drink some water. At the same time, I also saw a magnificent landscape of Wulong Mountain, a feast for the eyes 😁 . After coming up from that beautiful mountain scene, I discovered another spectacular sight above. This is the Stone Guanyin of Wulong Mountain. . It's the mountain peak opposite. Although I didn't see what's special about it, that's what is written next to it 🙇 . And climbing up from the Stone Guanyin, you reach the Buddha-viewing Platform of Wulong Mountain. Here too, there is only a sign that says Buddha-viewing Platform, but looking around, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the name, just the surrounding mountains and rivers 👱 . Here, I wanted to step over those rocks to the very front to stand up and check in, but I really had no strength left. My left arm hurt so much that I couldn't hold a water cup, and my legs started cramping at the thought of standing up to check in, because I had walked too many difficult paths before and had been climbing the treacherous steps of this stairway to heaven 😶 . Moreover, my strength had already been completely spent in the struggle through that 'swampy area.' This might be the most embarrassing mountain I've ever climbed. I really want to rest...
