"Looking at the vast ocean from the Jieshi in the east, the water is so calm, and the mountains and islands stand tall..." The scenery before him made Yang Jing think of Cao Cao's poem "Viewing the Vast Ocean" involuntarily, and he couldn't help but recite it out loud.
Only then did Yang Jing understand why Cao Cao created such a masterpiece when he passed by Jieshi Mountain in Wudi County.
You have to know that the Jieshi Mountain that Cao Cao climbed was just a volcano with an altitude of more than 60 meters, while the volcano he was standing on was a large volcano with an altitude of more than 500 meters. The most important thing is that this volcano is located at the very edge of the peninsula, and the foot of the mountain goes directly into the sea.
Looking at the sea in a place like this, to use a phrase that was once very popular on the Internet and slightly modify it, can best reflect Yang Jing's mood at the moment - I'm not looking at the sea, I'm looking at grandeur!
That's right, although this volcano cannot be compared with those mountains that are thousands of meters or even tens of thousands of meters high, the location of Mount Ba'ai is too wonderful. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, you can see the sea as the color, which is so majestic that people can't help but feel a sense of heroism as if "the clouds are rising from the chest".
And the most important thing is that the scenery here is really similar to what Cao Cao described in his poem "Viewing the Sea".
Mount Baai is surrounded by water on three sides, with the St. George Channel to the east and south and Simpson's Bay to the west.
Across the St. George's Strait, which is 40 to 50 kilometers wide, is New Ireland Island. In the middle of the St. George's Strait between New Britain Island and New Ireland Island, there are several islands of different sizes, which are the famous Duke of York Islands.
Doesn’t all this fit the description in the poem: “The water is so calm, and the mountains and islands stand tall”?
The Duke of York Islands are composed of more than ten islands of varying sizes, the largest of which is the Duke of York Island, which covers an area of more than 60 square kilometers.
Before 2000, there were about 8,000 people living on the islands, but the Duke of York Islands are located on colliding tectonic plates and are prone to natural disturbances, with frequent earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. In particular, by the late 1990s, rising sea levels had threatened the islands, most notably the Duke of York Island. Researchers confirmed that the islands would sink, so starting in 2000, residents began to move away from the islands.
But the island, like Tuvalu, is in danger of being submerged by the sea. Tuvalu has already begun to relocate its people, and residents of the Duke of York Island have been forced to leave their homes by rising sea levels.
Across the St. George's Strait is New Ireland Island. Standing on Mount Baaye, you can even vaguely see the Hans Meyer Mountains on New Ireland Island.
Looking south, you can vaguely see the new Rabaul Airport 20 kilometers away. In order to avoid the volcano, the Rabaul Airport has been moved to the other side of the bay.
A strong sea breeze blew from the southeast, making Yang Jing's clothes rustle.
There are also quite a few tourists on the top of the mountain admiring the scenery. It is obvious that these tourists are shocked by the spectacular scenery before them.
Guo Xiang came over and said, "Old Yang, why don't we buy a piece of land here and build a villa. The scenery here is really nice. It would be great if we could come here for a vacation every year."
Yang Jing glanced at this increasingly immature guy and said unhappily, "If you want to be neighbors with an active volcano, then come on. How about I pay you to buy land and build a house?"
Guo Xiang immediately fell silent...
At this time, Captain Howard, who should have finished the memorial service, came over. Seeing Guo Xiang's face like an angry wife, he knew that this guy was insulted by Yang Jing again, so he happily changed the subject and said, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Guo, shall we go back to eat later or eat at the gathering point at the foot of the mountain? I know there is a very good restaurant at the gathering point, and the food there is very local. Of course, there is also a very good restaurant in the city."
When it comes to food, Guo Xiang immediately perked up. She leaned over and asked, "Captain, you are most familiar with this place. Can you tell me what the special dishes are?"
Howard smiled and said, "In fact, the food here is similar to that in Lae or even Port Moresby, but because there are a lot of seafood here, the specialty of my institute is that I can eat some seafood that is not usually seen here."
Hearing this, Guo Xiang lost interest. He had only been eating seafood these days, and there was actually nothing else to eat. Chef Lu was still in the branch in Port Moresby. Without this chef, Guo Xiang couldn't make good dishes even if he had the ingredients.
Unfortunately, Yang Jing was too lazy these days and didn't want to cook, so Guo Xiang had to eat seafood all day.
Yang Jing shook his head slightly and said, "Captain, let's go back. Since Rabaul City also has special dishes, let's go back to the city to eat."
"Well, when you've had enough fun here, we'll go back."
Yang Jin raised his hand to check his watch. It was almost six o'clock and the sun was beginning to set. Although it was summer and it would not get dark until the evening, Yang Jing thought about it and decided to stay here for no more than twenty minutes before returning.
After all, they didn't drive here, and as it got dark, they should have paid attention to their own safety when riding bicycles in such an unfamiliar place.
Seeing that there were no special delicacies to eat, Guo Xiang turned around and started yelling at the sea to vent his anger. His sentences were nothing more than "Ah, sea, you're all water..." or "Face the sea, take out your gun and fire..." Anyway, they were just some dirty jokes learned from the Internet, which made Yang Jingguang laugh.
