Leave the entrance and arrive at the starting point of the hike, and the climb will officially begin.
The result of the sunny day is not only a clearer scenery when climbing, but also a high temperature of up to 35 degrees Celsius.
A group of more than a dozen people, one followed by the other walking on the yellow mud path of the rainforest, the same target traveler was faintly visible in front of them, everyone walked without hurry, and the guide occasionally said "slowly, slowly".
Kilimanjaro is a mountain that can be reached by walking, and among the seven roads that have been opened, except for one professional climbing route, it can be said that they are all more benevolent to novices, but people with bad heart and high blood pressure are better not to try.
Altitude and altitude sickness are still a major issue that prevents climbers from reaching the summit, and slowly ascending the mountain can help people adapt to the high altitude environment in order to reach the top in the final stage.
As the altitude gradually rises, standing on the side of the path and looking down, I don't know when, I have stood at such a high place, the path is in the middle of the slope, pointing to the snow in the distance, one side is the convex hill, the other side is the valley, standing in the open area to look at, behind it has become a continuous tropical rainforest, high and low ups and downs.
Zheng Xiujing was holding a trekking pole in both hands, and her forehead was already sweating.
There is a big difference between an uphill road and a flat road that requires not only more physical strength, but also more time and stamina.
She hasn't climbed the mountain many times, and she has basically never climbed this kind of mountain, but her physical strength is very good, and she has been exercising since she was with Yang Mo, otherwise how can she maintain a clear vest line after eating so many delicacies every day?
But even so, they need to stop and rest for a while after walking for three hours, and they are not in a hurry at first, and they can quickly adapt to it after relaxing.
Yang Mo opened the water and handed it to Zheng Xiujing and said, "Take a sip of it." ” Zheng Xiujing didn't speak, nodded and took the water, and took a shallow sip.
"Tired?"
Zheng Xiujing shook her head and said, "The physical strength is quite sufficient, and the mountaineering boots fit well."
The reason why she said this was also because Yang Mo had paid special attention to it.
"That's good."
Yang Mo said.
As the two were talking, a bird chirp alarmed them, and when they looked up, a flock of swallow-sized birds flew by and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In the rainforest below 3,000 meters there are abundant wildlife resources, just when they are resting, a squirrel swept over them, and the light body easily stepped over the branches above the path, and the two people who had been prepared raised their cameras one after the other, and the lens followed the squirrel closely, and quickly pressed the shutter.
It's cool in the rainforest, at least better than the sun outside, but it's also very muggy, and only feels better when the wind blows.
The road is a loess road, with obvious borders, obviously used for walking, because it is in the rainforest, so it will be a little wet, the mud on the side of the road is crawling with moss, and then look into the depths of the forest, first the low grass, interspersed with thigh-high branches, and then there are shrubs and trees, some roots and branches are like broken fishing nets, wisps swaying in the wind, and falling branches hanging cobwebs and fallen leaves, just a few steps away, as if there are two worlds: a human world, a natural world.
After a short rest, Yang Mo was ready to continue to set off, he re-explained the mountaineering skills to Zheng Xiujing, and then looked at the entourage behind him who had already rested, stood up and stretched out his hands to Zheng Xiujing and said, "Enough rest, it's time to go." ” Zheng Xiujing was pulled up by Yang Mo, packed her bags, and glanced back, just in time to see an African brother smiling at her, his teeth seemed to be whiter against the black skin.
Zheng Xiujing smiled politely at him, turned around and followed Yang Mo's steps on the road.
The wind blew from the front, ruffling the hair on her forehead, and the tied ponytail swayed with her body, as if her sister-in-law had just come home from school, and happened to pass by this section of the boulevard.
Walking in this deep jungle, you can hear the rustling of leaves from time to time, and you can occasionally see small animals passing by on the road, and black and white monkeys stay quietly in the trees.
Whenever she sees these satisfying pictures, Zheng Xiujing will pick up her camera to take pictures of this scene, tired and tired, but it is very satisfying to be able to record these pictures with the camera.
The elevation continued to rise, and the clock was coming to an end today, and it was already evening when the group reached the first camp, the sun was still on the horizon, and the sky was still white.
While the camp rested, the cold followed.
Zheng Xiujing was covered in sweat, and as soon as she calmed down, she felt a little cold, so she immediately went to take a shower and changed into clean clothes.
According to what Yang Mo said, it is estimated that there will be no chance to take a bath in the future, and at that time, the two of them will have to endure the stinky other party, hearing this, Zheng Xiujing is about to collapse, this kind of sweating speed, if you don't take a bath, it will really stink!
But the collapse is already a later thing, she came out of the shower, put on a coat outside, Yang Mo and the guide chatted, the chef's meal was ready, just wait for her to come out and eat.
The temperature at night dropped quickly, and after eating, Zheng Xiujing was about to look at the stars for a while, but before she saw much, she rubbed her arms and got into the tent, stars or something, let's look at it later.
Yang Mo looked at her shrunken back, couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, smiled lightly, and chatted with the guide for a while, the tent opened, Zheng Xiujing poked her head out and shouted to him: "Yang Mo, why haven't you come in yet, it's so cold!"
” Zheng Xiujing's anxious appearance made Yang Mo laugh, he said to the guide, pulled into the tent, nodded on her head with his index finger, and said, "You are sleeping in a sleeping bag, why are you in such a hurry to call me in?"
” Hearing this, Zheng Xiujing's eyes widened and she looked at him in surprise: "Yang Mo, what are you thinking?"
I just told you to come in. ” "Isn't that all right?"
"Is that the only thing for you?"
Yang Mo thought for a moment and nodded "um".
Zheng Xiujing suddenly burst out, knocked Yang Mo down, covered Yang Mo's face with a cold little hand, and said "perverted" with a smile.
"Shhh Yang Mo shuddered, but instead of shaking off the cold little hand on his face, he hugged Zheng Xiujing, turned over and pressed her under him.
Zheng Xiujing instantly entered a pitiful state, her experience, as long as she showed this look, Yang Mo was reluctant to do anything to her.
Sure enough, Yang Mo's expression softened, he lowered his head and kissed it, let go of his hand and lay on the ground, muttering "It's always like this, let me do it."
Zheng Xiujing, who won the blow, regained her spirit, sat up with her upper body propped up, and laughed proudly: "What's the matter, I won!"
” "Yes, you won, sleep and rest early."
"But I can't sleep."
"Then look at the photos taken today."

Yang Mo brought the cameras of the two of them, and the two heads came together to look at the various scenes taken in the camera today, it can be said that the eyes are all green, not only emerald green, but also the dark green of the old leaves, and the fresh and tender leaves in the vicinity are shiny and shiny; A straight reddish-yellow dirt road stretched into the distance, two parallel lines gradually converged, and the trees on the side of the road became closer, and everything was reduced to the white light at the end, where there was a rare open field, and the light could just shine in.
"Oh, Yang Mo, you're very handsome."
Zheng Xiujing pointed to a photo of Yang Mo, in which Yang Mo turned his back to the camera, facing forward, like a lonely traveler.
"Pass the award," Yang Mo, who was praised, couldn't help but show a smile, flipped to another camera, Yang Mo pointed to the photo of Zheng Xiujing inside and shook his head and sighed: "Sure enough, Xiujing is beautiful when she takes pictures." ” "Isn't it handsome?"
Yang Mo smiled: "Of course the young master is handsome." ” "That's it!"
The two didn't play around for too long, because they had been climbing mountains for the next few days, and they needed to recuperate at night, and if they couldn't reach the top because of staying up late, it would be funny.
Early the next morning, when everyone washed up and prepared to leave, another team came out of the tent, a European and American couple, who came here for their honeymoon, and had the same idea as them, to see for themselves before the snow melted at the equator, and to feel the magnificent scenery of the roof of Africa.
Because they were about to set off, everyone just chatted a few words, and Yang Mo and Zheng Xiujing set foot on the mountaineering road again.
At the end of this stretch of the rainforest, the tall trees gradually thinned out and turned from verdant to dark green, and the grasslands in front of them could be seen from far away, and finally replaced by moss clinging to the volcanic rocks by tall grass and shrubs.
From a distance, Mount Kilimanjaro is in front of him, and the towering summit is covered with stunning snow, but the fly in the ointment is that compared with the previous picture, there is a lot less snow on the top of the mountain, which makes Yang Mo wonder if there will be no equatorial snow next year.
Because of global warming, the snow in Kilimanjaro is gradually melting, and some people say that in 2020, the only snow on the equator will disappear, and the "king of Africa" will no longer be as soft as it used to be, and all that remains is the roughness and domineering of blending with Africa.
And its height.
Entering the grassland, there was silence all around, the wind seemed to be still, and only the clatter of people's soles and the ground could be heard.
The procession continued onwards, walking along an easy path, surrounded by shrubs as tall as a man and meadows as high as thighs, clusters of which were far less colourful than the temperate green vegetation, and could be said to have an "African" feel.
The day had just begun, and after walking a short distance, Zheng Xiujing suddenly pointed to a place and shouted: "Rabbit, rabbit!"
” Everyone turned their heads to look, but all they saw was a slightly swaying bush.
The locals are not surprised, almost all of this kind of registered personnel deal with here, rabbits or anything at all, just looking at Zheng Xiujing and smiling, it is a kind of superiority of the locals.
"If you like rabbits, I'll make them for you when you go back."
Yang Mo looked at her and said.
