In Wangwushan·Daimeishan Global Geopark, the young reporters learned the first lesson of Wangwu.
“About 1.45 billion years ago, a very important orogeny occurred on the earth, and the continental blocks in North China were finally assembled together to form a stable North China ancient continent, which has continued to this day, geologists. Name this mountain building movement the Wangwushan Movement.” The guide introduced to the young reporters.
Several orogenic and land-building movements have made the Wangwushan·Daimeishan Global Geopark very rich in geology. Here, traces can be found in the Taikooyu, Proterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic strata.
In addition to geological resources, there are also abundant plant resources and animal resources.
The rare and endangered plants that are protected by the state include the fragrant tree, the white tree, the spring tree, the sandalwood, the ginkgo, etc., and the rare animals that are protected by the state, the macaque, the deer, the salamander, and the flying squirrel also live in this.
Wangwushan·Daimeishan Global Geopark is divided into five exhibition halls – Splendid Mountains and Rivers, Vast Seas and Lands, Ancient Life Hall , Earth Treasure Hall, and Wang Dai Style Hall.
The “living dictionary” in the exhibition hall, which has experienced hundreds of millions of years of vicissitudes and changes in geographical environment, is the best teacher for young reporters.
[“Longevity” CP Combination – Millennium Ginkgo Tree + Eternal Spring]
On the way up the mountain, the little reporters encountered a ginkgo tree with a mysterious legend. According to the introduction, the age of the ginkgo tree is more than 2000 years old.
It is said that this ginkgo tree was planted by Laozi himself, with a height of 45.3 meters and a circumference of 9.4 meters. It is one of the five existing ginkgo trees in my country.
Here, people usually use a common saying to describe the tree perimeter – “seven hugs and eight turns”, which means It takes seven old ladies and eight crutches to hug the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree.
Not far from the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, there is a “spring of eternal youth”, the water flows like a stream, and it is continuous all year round.
“The longevity old people in Yugong Village all grew up drinking the fountain of youth.” Before the commentator could finish, the young reporters couldn’t wait to put their water glasses in the fountain of youth to “cold it” For a while, trying to absorb the essence of Lingquan.
“Millennium Ginkgo Tree + Eternal Fountain of Youth” is a double life picture created by nature, which attracts people every year. Countless people worship.
[“I would like to follow the Master on the Temple of Heaven, and I will sweep the flowers with the immortals”, and follow the footsteps of the poets to climb to the top of the king’s house]
In AD 744, Li Bai wrote down “Sending the King’s House Mountain” Man Meng Darong”.
“I would like to follow the Master on the Temple of Heaven and sweep the flowers away with the immortals”. Romantic, leisurely, frustrated, and indifferent, Li Bai expresses his love and imagination, and is free and independent.
A thousand years later, following the footsteps of Shixian, the young reporters from Top News and Henan Commercial Daily will climb to the top of the King’s House.
From a distance, Tiantan Peak is the main peak of Wangwu Mountain, 1715 meters above sea level, with Rijing Peak in the east and Yuehua Peak in the west.
“It turns out that this is called the ‘Mountain of Kings’!” The young reporters sighed.
Walking in the mountains is a change from the hot summer, and the breeze is very refreshing. The instructor introduced that Wangwu Mountain has a vegetation coverage rate of more than 92%, 60,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter, and the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the mountain can reach more than 10 °C. It is a holy place to escape the summer heat.
The horizontal distance of the mountaineering ropeway is 1265 meters, and the height difference is 660 meters, as if suspended between heaven and earth.
Through the glass window, the little reporters leaned against the window and looked out, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the landscape was picturesque. Clouds seem to be at hand, and the mountains and forests under my feet are lush and green, and I don’t know what cute little animals are hiding in them.
“Today the temperature in the urban area is 37°C, and now we are at the very top of the Temple of Heaven, with a temperature of 27°C.” said the instructor.
You must know that this group of young reporters from Zhengzhou have experienced the “baking” of 40°C+ temperature, and they can be used outdoors in summer. Feeling the natural temperature of 27°C, one by one is unbelievable.
Away from the “baked” of the city, bathing in the natural oxygen bar, exploring the mysteries of the mountains and forests, and learning geological knowledge, this summer is infinitely exciting.
