Shilin Gorge has heard it many times and said it many times, but never went. It is within a hundred miles of Beijing. It is the core scenic spot of Huangsongyu Geopark in Pinggu District. Seeing that it was another time to go for real in the clear autumn of the year, I actually wanted to step on the UFO glass plank road erected in the sky on the top of the mountain and turn the aerial photos taken by the media into what I saw. Although the high temperature is still above 30° C, it still drops down a lot in the morning and evening. On August 31, 2019, we went out at 6:30 a.m. on the weekend. The family of three drove straight to Shilin Gorge. The weather was cool and smooth. The road took less than 2 hours to reach the destination. The whole journey took less than expected. It's still the old saying that you should go out early.

Get off the highway and spiral into the mountains and enter the scenic spot. There is a large parking lot around the area right in front of the ticket office. Unlike some scenic spots where cars have to walk a tourist street outside the gate to reach the ticket entrance. Maybe we arrived early and not many people, or maybe it's because the summer vacation is over and the tourism craze has passed. I like it a lot. The ticket is a set ticket booked on Ctrip the night before, which is 20 yuan cheaper per person than the on-site ticket sales: ticket 68 yuan +UFO ticket 40 yuan + one-way cableway ticket 100 yuan, totaling 208 yuan. There are two self-service machines next to the ticket office. It is extremely simple to operate, and the printed color tickets are still available. You can use one ticket in three places to punch in.

Visiting the Shilin Gorge is an approximately equilateral triangle. With the UFO peak at the top of the mountain due north as the center, you can go up the mountain from the east and west. There are cableways on both sides of the east and west, but they cannot go directly to the top of the mountain. After riding down, you have to climb another mountain road to reach the UFO Observation Platform. It should be said that the mountain is relatively high and it requires a certain amount of physical strength to climb the top on foot. A cableway journey that takes more than ten minutes takes 90 minutes to walk, so it is better to use a cableway for at least one journey up and down. Of course, you have to choose based on your own specific situation. The square in front of the scenic area is a playground. It's nice to bring children. The scale is not very large, but there are people running on the ground, swimming in the water, and spinning in the sky in the facility. The entrance of Shilin Gorge is at the foot of the mountain in the east. Not far from inside is the Ruyi Garden Cableway Station. If you ride here, you will not see many scenery and scenery in the mountains. Moreover, you are very energetic at the beginning, it is recommended not to ride first. Raise your spirits and hike from east to west, and walk, watch and play.

In this way, the bottom edge of the triangle that spans from the east to the west is still under control. The ravines and ravines along the way are accompanied by clear streams and small waterfalls. The geological landforms and covered green plants deposited over the past come into view inadvertently. The scenery in the mountains around Beijing is similar, but when family members come out together, they are more in a mood to have family affection, and everything in front of them seems comfortable.

Thinking that he was about to see a UFO climbing the ladder again in one breath, he reached the Longwangshan Cableway Station, sat on the cableway, took a rest, and headed to the top of the mountain. In the west, there is a Dazhangjiao Pavilion that tourists frequently collide with and hear the bell from afar. In the east, there is a Dagujiao Pavilion that goes down the mountain, and tourists also pound and slowly walk away.

It is still unique to create a glass plank road into a UFO shape. After all, there are too many glass plank roads built next to cliffs in scenic spots in various places, and it will be more difficult to build them in the future. You need to create novel highlights to attract people. Put on shoe covers and step on, as long as you are not afraid of heights and have mental challenges, and people are not crowded and smooth around 360°, you can pose as much as you want. The weather is fine and you can sit on the top of the mountain, especially the Huangsongyu Reservoir, which is like a crescent moon bay. The quiet lake blue makes people feel relaxed and relaxed, and sometimes it seems to be waiting for such a moment.

It's nearly 11 o'clock and going down the mountain from the east. Almost all the steps are steep in some places. If you can't keep up with your physical strength, you can take the Ruyi Garden Cableway down. The one-way up and down on both sides of the cableway is 100 yuan per person. The demand for drinking water while walking in the sun is much higher than when we came here, so we still have to keep reserves. Otherwise, we will see that the ticket office of the UFO Observation Deck marks a bottle of mineral water for 10 yuan, and there are not many vending booths along the way. If you need it, you may not buy it for expensive and cheap. Stopping and resting, sitting under the tree was very cool when the mountain breeze blew. When we chatted and laughed, we reached the foot of the mountain when our fatigue was about to rise. Half a day was just right.

After driving, my son recommended eating farm-style grilled fish by Jinhai Lake 10 kilometers away. The restaurant near the lake has a pool of pictures to accompany the meal, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. My son's intention made us feel more and more dependent in old age. After enjoying the meal, the old couple can rest contentedly on the car seat and take a nap, allowing his son to hold the steering wheel and return home.
