Chapter 416
Li Zhiyi, Ye Hongyu, Li Chenghao, Li Chengyu, Li Chengxin, and Su Yunman, after being sent to the foot of Mount Fuji by the business car of Tokyo Palace Hotel, followed the path on foot and climbed up little by little.
Although today is not a weekend or a holiday, there are still many tourists coming here to play.
Of course, a considerable number of them are not locals of the Sun Country, but tourists from other countries.
Among the many tourists, Chinese people occupy the majority.
It has to be said that Chinese people are very willing to spend money on tourism.
There are many routes to choose from to climb Mount Fuji.
Among them, the Fujinomiya route is the steepest and the shortest, so the speed of climbing to the top is also the fastest.
However, most tourists will choose the Yoshida route when climbing, because there are the most mountain huts on this route and the safety measures are the best.
The mountain with an altitude of 3,776 meters is not as easy to climb as everyone imagines.
When tourists are tired of climbing, they can enter the mountain hut to rest halfway, and continue climbing after they are in good condition.
Of course, these mountain huts are not free.
And because there are many tourists who come to climb Mount Fuji in recent years, reservations are required in advance.
And as the altitude of tourists climb increases, the price of mountain huts along the way will gradually increase.
The climbing route chosen by Li Chengyu and his group of six is the Fujinomiya route, which is the most dangerous and fastest route.
Every distance along the way, everyone can see a signboard next to the road.
Tourists who like photography can take photos next to the signboard to prove that they have been to the most famous scenic spot in the Sun Country.
But in fact, the main purpose of these signs is to inform the police of their location on the phone when tourists encounter danger and difficulties, so as to get rescue in the shortest time.
Although most of the scenic spots on Mount Fuji do not charge admission, if you want to solve physiological problems in the public toilets along the way, you need to pay a certain fee, usually between one hundred and three hundred Sun currency.
This is mainly because the cost of electricity and water supply on the mountain is high, so tourists need to pay some fees to maintain the operation of Mount Fuji.
Of course, there are no special toll collectors in these public toilets, and all payment processes require tourists to scan the code to pay consciously.
The Li family took a brisk step, climbed the steep path, and headed quickly towards the top of Mount Fuji.
Compared with other tourists around, they looked a little different with warm clothes, sand-proof foot covers, dry food, headlights, etc. fully armed.
Coupled with the handsome and beautiful youthful faces of the six people, the tourists along the way looked at everyone sideways.
Since the Li family climbed Mount Fuji, their speed has never slowed down.
They kept surpassing waves of tourists all the way and sprinted quickly towards the top of the mountain.
It was just noon when everyone climbed to the middle of the mountain.
Here, a staff member of Mount Fuji stopped them.
And said that if everyone wanted to continue to climb Mount Fuji, they would need to buy a mountaineering permit.
The fee was 3,000 Sun Country Dollars, which was equivalent to 150 Chinese dollars.
Well, I have no shortage of money, so I just swiped my card and continued to move forward quickly!
Li Chengxin, who was relatively impatient, always walked in the front, and the remaining five people followed closely behind her.
Compared with many mountains in China, which are paved with steps made of various stones, the roads of Mount Fuji are much more primitive.
Most tourists wear sand-proof foot covers and walk on the sandy and rotten road.
In addition, although Mount Fuji looks very beautiful when viewed from a distance, when you really climb it, you will find that there is no scenery on the mountain at all.
Not to mention various animals and plants along the way, there is not even a decent stone, only mud exposed outside.
Fortunately, when the altitude reaches a certain height, the hillside here has turned into a snow mountain, which gives people a much better sense of feeling.
Moreover, the number of tourists who continue to climb up seems to have decreased a lot in an instant.
Most of the elderly, weak, women and children who are not in good physical condition chose to return when they reached the boundary of the snow mountain.
Only a small number of young and strong people with firm goals and sufficient preparation will continue to move towards the top of Mount Fuji.
Due to the significant reduction in the number of climbers, Li Chengyu and his group of six suddenly seemed more out of place with other tourists around.
After all, other tourists along the way were wearing thick cold-proof clothes, professional mountaineering boots on their feet, and some even brought mountaineering picks.
HeThey also carried large and small bags on their backs, which contained a lot of supplies.
On the other hand, the six people of the Li family were still wearing T-shirts and casual clothes, with even their elbows exposed.
How could this look like climbing a snowy mountain? It was completely a summer trip.
"Hi!"
"Did your supplies accidentally fall behind?"
"Do you need help? I'll call the rescue number for you?"
Many kind tourists along the way expressed their concerns about the journey of Li Chengxin and others.
Some tourists even wanted to share some of their supplies with everyone.
However, these actions of the other party were of course directly rejected by Li Zhiyi and others.
"Oh, our supplies were not left behind."
"There is no need to call the rescue number, thank you for your kindness."
Every time at this time, everyone would wave their hands to indicate that they were actually in good condition.
Then they quickened their pace and surpassed these kind tourists one by one.
When the time came to the evening, Li Chengyu and his six people were finally about to climb to the top of Mount Fuji, which was near the crater.
At this time, there were no other tourists around them.
After all, even those tourists who wanted to climb the mountain would not choose to challenge the crater at this time.
The altitude of nearly four thousand meters, coupled with the strong wind blowing rapidly in the sky, would cause the body's heat to lose rapidly.
They usually choose a better weather and then head to the top of the mountain at noon.
However, Li Chengyu and others did not have so many concerns.
Whether it was the cold temperature or the fierce wind, it would not cause them any discomfort.
The steep and slippery snowy slopes could not become an obstacle to their progress.
"Hahaha!"
"We finally reached the top of Mount Fuji!"
"And we didn't fly up, but walked up step by step!"
Li Chengxin jumped a few times and stood at the highest point of Mount Fuji.
She put her hands on her waist and laughed wildly at the sky.
The fierce wind blew her T-shirt left and right.
