The year is divided into four seasons. Spring is full of vitality, summer has hundreds of flowers competing for beauty, autumn has the color of streaky mountains, and winter has elegant silver clothes. Each season has its own characteristics. If you choose the right season, you can see the most amazing scenery. Autumn a few years ago still felt bleak and lonely in my heart, until I saw the colorful mountains in Pofengling. This is a painting created by nature for us.

Pofengling is a beautiful scenery in the Youlan Mountain Scenic Area. There are peach blossoms in spring, cotinus flowers blooming in summer, red leaves in autumn, and pink and jade in winter. Mid-October to early November every year is the best time to enjoy autumn. This year, I chose to take the subway + taxi to go there. The transfer stations are even more surprises. No. 1 (Military Museum Station)-No. 9 (Guogongzhuang Station)-Fangshan Line (Yancun East Station)-Yanfang Line (Fangshan Chengguan Station). Were you surprised to see such a transfer? In fact, basically the departure station connects. There are fewer passengers on the bus and there are seats. The most convenient thing is to get off the bus and walk a few steps to transfer to the opposite side. It is not like other transfer stations, which requires a long detour. It takes about 40 yuan to get to Pofengling by taking a taxi out of the station. What are you afraid of when you transfer easily?

On that day, I chose to live in the yellow cotinus flower bloom 2 kilometers away from the foot of the mountain. Next door was the famous grandma's courtyard. Every time I arrived in the parking lot, the eldest sister, who got the news in advance, came out and enthusiastically took me to the familiar courtyard No. 5. Because I liked this eldest sister (the first from the left), I chose this courtyard every time I came. Courtyard No. 5 has a total of three bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. Including seven people, there is no problem. The room is equipped with all kinds of washing supplies, so there is no need to bring anything extra.

The check-in time at Huangcogia Huakai B & B is 2 p.m., and the special afternoon tea has been prepared. I highly recommend corn. It is sweet and delicious. It is accompanied by a cup of cool mint hot tea. It is lazy and basking in the sun in the afternoon. It is still at this moment, as if I have the happiest feeling in my life.

Taking a nap here is the best time to go up the mountain. When the strong light of noon is fading away, most tourists also start to go down the mountain at this time. You can occupy a perfect angle at will in the ocean of red leaves and take photos to your heart's content.

At this time, the cotinus has completely lost its summer appearance. Every leaf has become a little elf in the mountains, working hard to release its brilliance, gathering thousands of dots, and blooming in the most beautiful autumn colors. The large areas of red and yellow are so enthusiastic, so unrestrained, and so unreasonable, while the green hidden in the dense forest is so natural and so quiet.

The altitude difference of Pofengling is not much meters, and the slope is gentle and easy to climb. However, for me who doesn't exercise much, the endless front is the biggest obstacle in my heart. There will be meters on the stone steps of Pofengling every other section. mark. The starting point is 0 meters, and it is 600 meters to reach the top of the stone house in Yunshang. The King of Cotinus is at 1700 meters. Yingkou Rock has to go up again. Although I have come to Pofengling several times, I have never completed the entire journey. The highest is to reach 2500 meters. Due to the different elevations of the mountains, the degree of red leaves varies greatly. The higher the altitude, the more red there are. The mountain road is easy to walk, but you have to wear appropriate shoes to come up. I think this mountain is too easy to walk, and many people wear high heels. Come up.

I recommend a secret place in Pofengling. There is a small suspension bridge at the top of the stone house in Yunshang. The bridge is not big, and the aerial photography angle is excellent. It's just that people often pass by, either going up the mountain early or around 4 o'clock in the evening. There will be less.

There are also large markets for dining in the scenic area at the entrance of the mountain or at the foot of the mountain. There are snacks such as boiled corn, pancakes, stinky tofu, and fried tripe, as well as mountain goods such as green dates and persimmon cakes.

Food recommendation #183; Red Basket Restaurant

Recommended delicacies:Noodles, wild vegetable buns, freshly ground soy milk, oily chicken, etc. are delicious and affordable.

Price:About 40 yuan per capita

As the weather gets colder, it gets dark much earlier than before. In this slightly chilly late autumn, everyone is already sitting on small benches. Today, we are eating an earthen pot with tofu on the upper layer and some dried bean-like greens on the lower layer. After eating, we can also add some shabu vegetables, which is delicious. It becomes a simple and delicious delicacy in the hands of the aunt, unlike the greasy fish and meat on weekdays. Although the aunt's handle noodles here are also first-class, eating such a pot in this slightly chilly late autumn is really The whole person warms up.
