I haven't been to Huairou for a long time, and I haven't been out to play for a long time. How I long to travel, on the road.
During the long vacation in Beijing, the urban area is very clean, and there are several traffic jams on the Jingcheng Expressway. It took an hour and a half to walk for two and a half hours.
At Huairou exit, I found many changes. Originally, I thought I had to go through Huairou City and take Jingjia Road, but it turned out that it was not necessary at all. Probably because of opening APEC, I built a ring expressway, which went directly through the city and was very convenient. Sigh: I haven't been to Huairou for a long time. Huairou Road is clean and tidy, and there are many folk villages and farmhouses on both sides. After crossing Yanqi Lake, I began to enter the mountains. The leaves on the roadside are not red yet, and the temperature will still be a little higher than that in Yanqing.
Not far into the mountain, there is a small fork in the road. Go left along the slope and you will find the gate of Baiquan Mountain. If you don't pay special attention, it's easy to miss it. In addition, Jingjia Road is a one-way street, and you need to take some detours to get back.
There are plenty of parking lots in the scenic spot, even during the eleventh holiday. There is a public toilet at the gate (there are also several toilets in the scenic spot, which are reasonably distributed, so don't worry). Students and soldiers are allowed to go to 35 yuan at half price.
There is water when you enter the door, and water is a suspension bridge. If it is too rickety, there is a solid cement bridge to cross and you can choose.
After crossing the bridge, you can choose whether to go to the dam by boat or walk up the mountain along the path. As a result, all roads lead to the same goal, pointing to the entrance of the scenic spot, but the cost is quite different. The advantage of taking a speedboat is that it is extremely labor-saving, and the disadvantage is that it costs five yuan per person. The benefits of hiking up the mountain are obvious, which directly saves RMB. The disadvantage is tossing up and down, half tired. There is no scenery yet, and it will take a long time to see my personal hobbies.
I traveled by boat. First, I passed a dam, and the water kept flowing downwards, sometimes like a waterfall, sometimes like a trickle. Then I went to a small pier. You can take a speedboat to the other side of the lake and you need to wear a life jacket. The fare is 5 yuan. Before boarding the boat, I was attracted by the sound of sugar-fried chestnuts for the first time. Huairou small oil chestnuts, which cost ten yuan a catty, are now being sold in speculation, which is not fault-tolerant. Decisively bought a catty, sat down beside the pavilion and ate chestnuts while watching the lakes and mountains. The newly fried chestnuts are easy to peel, and the inside is light yellow chestnut meat, sweet and soft. I ate most of the set meal in one breath and set out on the boat (going out to play and eat seems to be a highlight).
The boat can seat eleven people, if it is full. It's a short trip, but it's no fun to walk in the green mountains and green waters. Even better, the ship has reached the shore before it is used up. Baiquan Mountain, the real beginning.
Only mountains are boring, and only water has nowhere to stay; There are mountains and water just right, and the water is as high as the mountains. It is fun to accompany you all the way.
Get off the boat and bypass a foot mountain. There is a wooden plank road on the water. The water is clear and there are countless fish swimming. If it is summer, there must be many children going fishing barefoot. Many scenic spots along the way, such as "Tortoise Looking at the Moon" and "Strange Bird Peak", are prominent rocks on the top of the mountain. If you want to see the doorway, you need to cooperate with some imagination besides the right angle. Fortunately, this is not the point. The point is blue sky and white clouds, sunshine, mountains and streams, the feeling of freedom, the fragrance of flowers, the movement of clouds, the wind and current, the struggle for freedom in various first frost days, and the time when children hold their breath waiting for a fish. ...
We sat around the reed pond. The soil under the tree is very soft. A dragonfly is swinging around us, and the sunlight is slanting through the reeds. In a few days, the reeds will bloom and will definitely turn white (I think of the reeds of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge). Just stay in the mountains, quietly watching the small fish and bugs around you and stealing fish for a long time?
The stream is pure at the source of the mountain, but its water turns dark far away from the mountain. The clearer it is, the shallower the water is, and the fine sand at the bottom of the water shines in the sun. The water is cold. The afternoon sunshine only warmed my back, but there was no warm running water. All the way up, the road is not difficult. Fortunately, there are streams and small pools along the way, and I am not lonely. I went around to a place called "sweet spring", and many people were carrying water. Sansan asked me, is it really sweet? I said you should try. The mountain watchman nearby spoke, yes, try it. Sansan took a bottle of water and took a sip, saying it was better than the one in the mineral water bottle. I took a sip. It's cold and soft, not sweet. The mountain keeper on one side proudly said that the water is better than that in the bottle, and it is foggy in summer. We need to borrow two bottles of wine to quench our thirst after lunch. One side of the soil and water support one side of the people, living in this green mountains and green waters, although the material is simple, but there are also simple happiness.
The destination of our trip is "Feiyun Falls". Beijing lacks water. Even if it's called a waterfall, it may not be much better than a child peeing, but go and have a look when you come. In the mountains, it goes around east and west and never leaves the main road. The gray squirrel jumped into the middle of the road on an uninhabited field path in search of food. We won't disturb it until it jumps into the tree, disappears into the crevices and slowly picks up the road. At the last section of the mountain, I bypassed a hill and finally reached the foot of the waterfall. The waterfall is between two stones, as if it flowed down from one wing of an eagle (there should be a pool on it). There is not much water, but it is a very cool place.
There were several scenic spots ahead, so we gave up and found the way down the mountain. We see that the little black fish caught by children is as big as a palm, but unfortunately we can't enjoy life. The ancients said that the sweet spring was exhausted first. Modern people say that they don't care about eternity, but only care about possession. Yes, different levels of life. It's just that "children are not fish" has more feelings than fish.
The mountain is not high, as long as there are trees; The water is not deep, but clear and lovely. Walking between mountains and rivers, I am just a wisp of wind and a cloud, like a tired bird returning to its nest, to the deep and shallow green, to the nature I yearn for.
On my way home, I ate grilled rainbow trout in a nearby farmhouse. This is a perfect day.
