Jifeng Mountain Day Trip
Jifeng Mountain is located in Xiamaying Town, Baoji City. According to legend, when Qin Second Emperor came, roosters crowing named the mountain. The summit also has two roosters standing side by side.
Our group of five originally planned to enter the mountain from the main gate, but the main gate was under construction with ongoing road repairs, and we circled several times without reaching it. We were finally forced to climb from the back mountain. We planned to take three hours to ascend and two hours to descend from the main gate. Now, climbing from the back mountain is estimated to take four hours. The round trip is approximately seven to eight hours.
We parked our car outside the Luantan Temple, and the Luantan Temple's architecture is also very grand and historically significant. To save time, we planned to return to visit Luantan Temple.
This hiking trip, we prepared quite thoroughly. The five of us all carried backpacks, bringing enough water and food to start the climb. The gatekeeper told us that after walking six to seven kilometers, we would reach the reservoir, and then we could climb up the road along the small road by the reservoir, and then we could see roosters along the mountain road, which would take about five hours. We were a little worried, so the round trip would take about 10 hours. Among us, Xiao Ji, a senior hiking enthusiast who frequently participates in outdoor hiking and trekking. He said there was no problem, let's climb from the back mountain, which would take about 10 hours. Let's go, don't worry. According to him, climbing from the back mountain to Jifeng Mountain is a relatively famous outdoor hiking and exploration route.
We started climbing, and the road before the reservoir was still relatively wide. Everyone was extremely happy and chatting along the way.

Jifeng Mountain is not as perilous as Mount Hua, with a height of only over 2,000 meters, but it is a successor of the Qinling Mountains, with a unique style and charm. It reminds one of the people of the Guanzhong region – honest, straightforward, and low-key, avoiding fame and fortune, and not seeking the spotlight.
Along the way, it was indeed not easy. From originally walking fast to walking slowly, in the end we used branches to make walking sticks to support us. On the steep slopes, it took less than a hundred steps before we were out of breath and sweating profusely. If it weren't for the physical fitness of our group of people, we would have turned back long ago.
The beauty of Jifeng Mountain is worth visiting; here has not yet been developed, many are original and natural.

We walked from the beginning to the end, taking a total of ten hours. We not only saw the beauty of the mountains, but also experienced the difficulties of life. Climbing made us experience joy and hardship. Happy and sad. Use a positive attitude to face life in the future.
