A 22-year-old Hunan female college student celebrated her birthday by climbing the Five Mountains in 5 days! How did you do it? Respondent
As his 22nd birthday approaches, Zhao, a student in university in Hunan, plans to celebrate his birthday with a special challenge - to climb the Five Mountains in five days.
Huashan Mountain, Songshan Mountain, Taishan Mountain, Hengshan Mountain and Hengshan Mountain are all vast and majestic to the eye. On May 5, classmate Zhao reviewed this experience to the reporter of Xiaoxiang Morning News. Whether it was the rush of traveling under the stars or the worry of whether he could get the next train ticket, everything turned into small fragments in his memory. She will always remember the ray of morning sun, the green branches, and the vigorous wind on the top of the mountain.
Classmate Zhao revealed that as her next stop, she wants to challenge the "Three Mountains" and also want to cycle around the island in Hainan. Her life should be full of courage and bold vitality.
Classmate Zhao posted a handwritten detailed guide to climbing the Five Mountains in five days. This detailed guide covers food, clothing, housing and transportation, including which bus to take each day, how long it takes to reach the summit, and how to get to the next stop...
At the beginning, all Mr. Zhao had was a simplified version of the rough plan. "I originally made an appointment with my classmates to go play, but we put it on hold due to some reasons. Thinking that May Day was approaching and it coincided with my 22nd birthday, I decided to have an adventure on the fly." Student Zhao usually likes sports. , started practicing track and field in junior high school, not to mention cycling and mountain climbing.
Classmate Zhao expressed her thoughts to her family, and after receiving unanimous support, she set off carrying her backpack. The first step is to capture Huashan. "Starting from Changsha, I took a hard sleeper train for 20 hours. On the morning of April 25, after a simple breakfast, I started hiking at 8:54 and climbed to the East Peak in 4 hours." A sun protection hat, a With a jacket, a backpack, and a hiking pole, Zhao’s climbing equipment is simple and practical. She said, “I like the ladders in Huashan the most. You must wear gloves when climbing Huashan. Most of them need to be pulled on chains.”
Classmate Zhao told reporters that there is no cableway down the mountain in Songshan Mountain, and the cableway in Hengshan is out of service. In addition to the other three mountains, she chose to walk up the mountain and take the cableway or bus down the mountain. "On the one hand, it is to save time. I climb mountains very quickly and rarely sit down to order food. I have to rush to the next stop. On the other hand, it is also to save energy."
After climbing Mount Huashan, classmate Zhao took the high-speed train to Longmen, Luoyang, took a taxi to Mount Song, and prepared to climb Mount Song at night. We started climbing at 1:12 and kept climbing at a constant speed without resting in the middle. After 2 hours and 20 minutes, classmate Zhao successfully conquered Songshan Mountain.
Classmate Zhao sent a photo of a floor with water stains. She laughed and said, "My short-sleeved shirt was completely soaked at the time, and I put on my only two sun-proof jackets, but my butt marks were still there every time I sat down. Fortunately, at sunrise, all the coldness was gone..."
A round sun slowly broke through the clouds from a small point of light, dyeing the white sky in the distance red. Classmate Zhao was very happy. At that moment, he stretched out his hand and the sun became within reach.
Classmate Zhao continued his special forces tour. On the evening of April 26, I took the high-speed train to Tai'an. After a night's rest, I started climbing Mount Tai the next morning. I took the high-speed train to Datong, Shanxi Province that night, and climbed Mount Hengshan in the morning of April 28.
"I happen to have an aunt in Datong. Because the aunt picked me up and dropped me off, it was the most comfortable life these days. I can finally sit down and have a good meal." In Zhao's view, only the front mountain of Hengshan is currently open to climbing. It was not difficult, and it only took her 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete the ascent and descent.
"For me, the most difficult thing is the last stop in Hengshan. At this time, my physical fitness has almost reached its limit." Zhao got on the sleeper train and arrived in Hengyang at 8:15 a.m. on April 29. For her, Said, the moment you get on the train is particularly relaxing, you can relax and have a good rest. At 10:48 a.m. on April 29, classmate Zhao set off from Shenglifang and climbed to the top of Zhurong Peak at 15:11. Then he returned to Nantianmen and took the bus down the mountain, returning to his school in Yueyang without stopping.
“I’m very lucky.” Reflecting on his mountain climbing trip, classmate Zhao said with emotion, “Because the holiday was approaching, my biggest worry was that I wouldn’t be able to get a ticket, so I could only stop and have fun in the local area, but everything went smoothly. On the last day, the weather forecast was that there would be thunderstorms in Hengshan, and I was frightened all the way. It wasn’t until I got back to school that the rain started to fall.”
Classmate Zhao wrote this on the social platform: On April 28, 2024, when I officially turned 22 years old, I completed the five-day five-day journey with one person and one bag. I like the feeling of being alone on the road, which is full of expectations for the future. When going to any place alone, all I have to do is believe that I have unlimited courage and confidence, and the rest is to relax and feel every moment. Standing on the top of the mountain, it feels like you can touch the sky with your hand.
Classmate Zhao told reporters that this was a gift to her 22-year-old self and also to her mother.
"My mother has always been the most supportive person for me." Zhao has many ideas, but her mother will always encourage her and tell her to pay attention to safety. Classmate Zhao sent photos one after another to the family group to report her safety and also show her happiness. And she can always get positive emotional support from her family, who will always tell her "you are great" immediately.
During the mountain climbing process, classmate Zhao met many backpackers. "They sometimes say that you are really awesome for a little girl to hike mountains, but they don't know that I didn't climb one mountain, I climbed five mountains." Zhao said that she likes challenges. "More often, I don't think about how hard it is to climb mountains and how tired my body is. Instead, I feel excited and high-spirited about the new challenges that are coming."
After Zhao’s story attracted attention, she shared her experience online, and many people expressed their desire to try her strategy. When faced with the question that everyone is most concerned about, after climbing five mountains in a row, will he be able to slim down into a lightning bolt? Zhao said with a smile, "Maybe a little thinner, but not that exaggerated."
For the next stop, classmate Zhao already has a plan - to challenge the "Three Mountains" - Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province, Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi Province, and Yandang Mountain in Zhejiang Province. Then, she also wanted to ride her bicycle around Hainan Island.
