My body may be back at my desk on Monday, but my heart is still somewhere in Tianzhushan.
As I type away at the keyboard, what comes to mind is the reflection onAlchemy Lake.After one trip to Tianzhushan, my heart still has not quite returned.

NPC Encounters

Constant interaction, unforgettable fun

The moment I started up the mountain, I ran into theSecurity Team— upright, welcoming, and full of reassuring energy.Then around the next bend came theSeven Fairies, drifting gracefully through the scenery like real celestial maidens descended from the clouds.But perhaps the most unforgettable wasSu Shi of Tianzhushan, strolling over with a fan in hand. For a moment, I honestly could not tell whether someone was cosplaying Su Shi, or whether Su Shi himself had truly traveled across a thousand years to Tianzhushan.The sense of interaction was incredible from start to finish.

Alchemy Lake

The breeze there stayed with me

When I reachedAlchemy Lake, my pace slowed down almost without noticing.The lake looked like a piece of polished jade, reflecting the mountains, the clouds, and the trees all at once.
When the breeze touched the surface, the reflection shattered into countless sparkling ripples of light. Sitting by the water in a quiet daze, I felt all my worries drift away with the mountain wind.

In that moment, I suddenly understood something:
it is not simply that scenery heals people — it is that places like this help you become yourself again.

At the Summit

Only there do you realize how vast the world is

At the very moment I reached the top, words suddenly felt inadequate.
Below me, the sea of clouds rolled like a white ocean.
Mountain after mountain stretched into the distance, their deep blue-green ridgelines rising and falling all the way to the horizon.

The wind came rushing in from every direction, snapping at the corners of my clothes, while a surge of warmth rose in my chest.
It was excitement, astonishment, and the deep emotion of finally seeing the vastness of the world with my own eyes.
Standing there, all I wanted to do was shout: Tianzhushan, you are unbelievably beautiful!

Monday Mood

Not the Monday blues, but “Tianzhushan aftereffects”

I may have come back, but my heart is still up in the mountains.
The green plants on my desk now remind me of the pines on the slopes.
The clouds outside the window look like the sea of clouds over the summit.
And every wave of hot air outside the office air-conditioning brings back the memory of that cool breeze by Alchemy Lake.

So if you have not yet been to Tianzhushan, let me ask you something seriously:

Hey, after reading this, when are you planning to come — or come back — to Tianzhushan?Set off this weekend. Don’t keep your heart waiting too long.
