Every autumn, I embark on a journey to pursue autumn in the suburbs of Beijing. I always have an obsession with autumn in Beijing. Because it is golden and short, I want to seize it. The yellow and red colors all over the mountains and plains remind me of a clip in a certain movie. A speeding car carrying a car of happy teenagers chasing the wind, singing Mayday's "Tender", just like our picture at the moment, driving towards the mountains. Drive in.
Enjoyment with autumn, the breeze swings. When golden leaves fall from the trees and fall on my body, they stir up a ripple in the heart of my heart. I long for a ceremonial date with autumn every year. This was a gentle collision that reminded me of the little thing about my first love and the initial thumping heart for that sunny boy. When my friends chose a place for an outing, I expressed a strange feeling, but I liked the freshness, which made me have infinite expectations for the unknown scenery.
It was my first time to come to Shangyingshui Village in Fangshan. The journey along the winding Jinshan of the G108 National Highway, with eighteen turns and scenery. Along the way, I experienced the changing colors of green-yellow-red. I didn't have time to take a camera to record well, but my eyes kept wandering in the beautiful scenery, and I increasingly felt that Beijing's autumn was the most charming. October to November every year is a good season to go into the mountains and enjoy autumn. The five colors of the mountain dyed by the layers of forests make people increasingly unable to see enough.
The destination is Yingshui Village on Fangshan Mountain. The name of the village makes me want to be as good as water. Over the years, based on the excellent natural environment, we have built a third space, Yunyinli B & B. It is backed by the wild fields of the mountains and centered around the local native environment. Ingenious based on the characteristics of northern dwellings, modern aesthetics are integrated into the room design. Twelve courtyards and 26 rooms have been opened, 4 courtyards are being installed, and 15 courtyards will be opened next year. The existing buildings are based on the simple wood color and texture gray. The courtyards built against the mountains have scattered scenery. Sitting in the courtyard and basking in the sun, you can take in the beautiful scenery of Fangshan opposite you.
The room is spacious and bright, and we can lean on the tatami to drink tea and chat, and we can sit on the sofa and play with our mobile phones in a daze. Here, we release all the triviality and complexity in the city and return to our leisure time with empty heads ~
The noon sun was hot and warm on my body. I sat on the rooftop of the cafe, drank the coffee made by the housekeeper and enjoyed the autumn sunshine. The cafe is a good place to relax and drink tea, and it is also the front desk of the B & B. While drinking coffee and basking in the sun, the housekeeper has prepared the room key. This feeling immediately relieved us.
What is provided here is a butler-style in-house service, and the aunt cooks all delicious meals herself. Sitting at the table and waiting on the stove, the stir-fried dishes were served steaming hot, full of fireworks, just like the feeling of waiting for my mother at home when I was a child. Authentic rural dishes, healthy ingredients, every dish is so delicious, and the fragrance of lips and teeth is full of fragrance, just like a long-lost taste of home. Whether it is all kinds of mouth-watering stir-fried snacks or scallion pancakes that can feel the temperature, coupled with home-brewed warm hawthorn juice, three or five friends feel the human touch that is not found in the city at this B & B., with beautiful scenery and pillow the mountains. Sleep, enjoy the poetry and distance in the mountains and rivers.
As the mountain hiking trails climb all the way, there are three hiking trails near Yunyinli. The autumn scenery is gradually becoming more attractive, and the mountains are decorated with red and yellow. It is the time to embark on autumn all year. The scenery in wild mountains is better than that in many scenic spots. The autumn scenery here has a demure beauty and exudes original freshness. Yellow ginkgo leaves, red maple leaves, pick up one to cover your eyes, as if looking for a childhood time ~
When I was tired from climbing the mountain and returning to the small courtyard, my housekeeper had prepared the fruits in the mountains and hot scutellaria camellia, and our hand-making time began. Halloween has become a new festival for Chinese people without knowing when. We also take advantage of this trend to draw a face and make a jack-o-lantern. Everyone sat around the table in the garden and began to use their brains together. Their talent for drawing seemed to have never been enough, so I simply watched everyone take photos and records. I found that everyone has different dreams in their hearts, and these dreams are realized in the paintbrush in their hands, depicting the innocence they give about boldness and creativity. It is such a group of people who are very aesthetic in photo composition, and often make ourselves laugh when it comes to matching on Facebook ~
As night falls, the lights in the house turn on, warm and healing, and everything in the mountains and rivers quieted down. The moon outside is bright and stars are sparse. When you look up, you can see big stars. Although the air is a little clear, it is fresh and delicious. How long have we not seen stars outside the city? We look forward to seeing more. The stars seem to hear our whispers and spread more and more in the night sky. We huddled in the lobby of the cafe and watched a group movie. We crowded in front of the screen, talked about the plot, occasionally deserted, chatted with the people we like, and easily squandered the good time with friends ~ You can also come to the handicraft classroom to make a batik object yourself, or stretch a floral handkerchief ~
After a good night's sleep, I opened the curtains in the morning, the quiet mountain scenery accompanied by Shangying Water Village, the pastoral breakfast prepared by my aunt, and the morning reading of Zhenwu Temple next door, started a comfortable day again. Zhenwu Temple is located next to Yunyinli B & B in the third space. It was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 500 years since today. The main hall houses Zhenwu Emperor and Bixia Yuanjun respectively. It is said that Emperor Zhenwu was the crown prince of Jingle Kingdom. He refused to inherit the throne and vowed to kill all the demons in the world. Later, he obtained Yuqing's way of treating Zu Zixu Yuanqun and entered Taihe Mountain to cultivate cultivation. After he achieved enlightenment, he was sent by Emperor Tai to guard the north, known as Zhenwu.
Zhenwu Temple is a three-step courtyard with two halls dedicated to Emperor Zhenwu and King Bixia Yuanjun respectively. There are several Zhenwu temples in Beijing. The Zhenwu Emperor, also known as the Xuantian God, is the god of the north in Chinese myths and legends. The Xuanwu in the "Green Dragon, White Tiger, Rosefinch, Xuanwu" often mentioned in myths and legends is the Zhenwu Emperor. It is recorded in the "Long Journey" chapter of Qu Yuan's "Chu Ci" that "Xuanwu was summoned and rushed to his family." The seven constellations of Xuanwu are shaped like a turtle snake, so the note says,"Xuanwu is called a turtle snake. It is located in the north, so it is called Xuan. It has scales on its body, so it is called Wu." When I came here, I was encountering a ritual. I was quiet and powerful. When I went out, I looked up and saw the yellow building setting off the temple. It gave me a quiet atmosphere ~
At the same time, if you stay in Yunyinli, the third space, you will receive tickets to the nearby Yinhu Cave scenic spot during the preferential activity period. It is located in Yingshui Village, Fozizhuang Village, Fangshan District, in the southwest suburbs of Beijing. It is the largest large-scale cave group in the north integrating floods and droughts. It is named after the stalactite, which looks like a cat-headed silver fox. It was discovered by local people when mining coal. Indeed, the village is rich in coal resources and has a long history of mining. Most of the villagers used to focus on coal mining and transportation. At the beginning of the 21st century, in order to protect the local ecological environment, the two village committees responded to national policies and called for and led the transformation of the village's mineral economy. The villagers moved to live in Liangxiang as a whole, gradually developing from the former black industry to the current green industry.
The cave space was formed over millions of years. There are not only various forms of calcium carbonate chemical deposits such as stalagmites, stone pillars, stone flags, and stone shields, but also a rare large number of stone chrysanthemums, crystal flowers, goose tubes, and stone pearls., stone grapes and crystal clear calcite, the landscape is unique. The most famous one is a white silver fox that is upside down. In fact, it is not a real fox, but a very rare stalactite.
Yinhu Cave is also the only open natural scenic cave in North China integrating flood and drought caves. Here, you can experience a boat tour in the cave. The water quality is excellent. The water depth of 6-7 meters can be crystal clear at a glance. It is reported that the water here meets the natural mineral water reference standards, and most of the water sources in nearby villages also come from this. Being in it, I have a visual feeling of tomb robbing notes. It's so interesting for me, an ancient tomb fan. I heard that scientific research and archaeological staff will come here, looking forward to the future two-thirds of the cave. You can find out.
