Dangling(黨嶺) is still protected from the pollutions of modern civilisation, its natural beauty is well-preserved. Riding on a pony through the forest filled with trees covered in golden leaves during autumn, is absolutely the most wonderful experience of your life.
From the village to Hulu Haizi(葫蘆海子), we need to climb 800 meters, also the altitude is so high(around 3500 meters), the journey is tough even ride by horse, some mountain trails are too steep that we need to walk by our own feet.
There is a plain named 'Helipad (飛機坪)' in the forest, because it has been a helipad long time ago, of course there is no helicopter takes off here, now it is a grassland for the locals to herd their horses and cattle.
Most of the plantations in the mountains are Loose Pines(落羽松, Literally, 'Falling feather pine'), such beauty comes from its feature, deciduous and its leaves look like feathers. What's more, the 'feather' will turns gold under the sunshine, better than perfect.
Sunlight is strong, it lights up the glittering Loose Pines, while the shadows of the trees are just perfect, Choumeizai becomes a little man inside a beautiful painting, who feels pleasant and delightful all the time.
Autumn is dry and refreshing, the river is empty, the rocks left in the valley have already made up a strange but beautiful landscape.
Unfortunately, when Choumeizai passes by an extinguished bonfire, which are surrounded by loads of plastic garbage, so he asks, 'The tourist left this?'
'No, the locals, they drank here.'
It's already sad, now Choumeizai feels even sadder.
