周五是立春，周六（正月初五）和朋友去了一趟富士山，也算是春游了。富士山距我们居住的筑波市约一百八十公里，海拔3776米，天气好的时候在上下班的路上就可以看到。虽说不是樱花盛开和红叶满山的时候，第一次近距离看到这座名山感觉还是很壮观的，而且由于气温较低，山顶被积雪覆盖的区域应该接近一年中最多的时候，也是一种特色。

Feb 4th was Li Chun, which means the the beginning of spring in China Lunar calendar. My wife and I went to visit Mount Fuji together with a friend on Feb 5th.  Mount Fuji is about 180 kilometers away from the city of Tsukuba. It has an altitude of 3776 meters. I can see it on the way to and from work if the weather is good. Although it is not the time when cherry trees are in full bloom or red leaves are full of mountains, it is still spectacular to see this famous mountain for the first time. Particularly, due to the low temperature, the snow-covered-area on the top of the mountain is close to its maximum in the year. 

我们主要游玩的是河口湖区域，湖边上还有一层薄冰。

We mainly visited the Hekou Lake area. There was a thin layer of ice at the lake side.    

有飘过的云，也有从山顶升起的云，可能是从火山口出来的蒸汽。据说山顶的云变化多端，经常会出现很奇特的形状。

通过长焦镜头可以看到雪线上爬山的之字路。据说想要爬到山顶需要计划两天时间。

中午在一间有观景台的咖啡厅吃了点东西。   

可以俯瞰山下的小镇一角。

景区很贴心的一点的是在好的拍摄点有架设手机和相机的小平台。

还有可以拍模仿登顶照片的背景墙，希望将来有一天我们可以真正登顶富士山。
