The rain was blowing at night, and the golden wind was fine, causing the leaves of the sycamore trees to turn yellow and the clouds rose. The season just happens. Autumn frost fills the valley under the moon. In the early morning, it is already covered with mountains and mist, making the dense forest red and shaking off countless worries. The place you can see is like Sendai. Those turbulent mist rolled lightly in the mountain breeze and rushed past in the autumn, like smoke floating out of an incense burner. Then, I felt the illusory fog fall heavily and gather layer by layer on top of my head. My shoulders and chest wrapped around my body, my sight, and my mood. Just in the dream, everything was illusory and misty. The sentimental autumn is branded with some dreamy colors in the fog of Fangshan in western Beijing.

Autumn recognizes Baihua Mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, and its hazy and ultimate beauty

If you just listen to the name, you may think that there are only hundreds of flowers in the "Baihua Mountain". However, there are 1100 species of higher plants in the Baihua Mountain, which covers an area of 21,743.1 hectares. The unique species include five species, including Sorbus baihuashan, Bupleurum baihuashan, grape baihuashan, Carex baihuashan, and Roegneria baihuashan. Whenever autumn comes and Beijing is still full of greenery, it has quietly become a colorful world.

Walking along the winding mountain road towards the top of the mountain, the winding mountain road is like a river interspersed with autumn leaves. The wheel picks up the fallen leaves scattered all over the ground and carries them into the air. A vortex of rotating air gently puts them down, as if they had just left the branches of autumn and couldn't wait to throw themselves into the embrace of the earth.

When bursts of wind recall my intoxicated thoughts, the fog that condensed into drops is like woven years, full and transparent. When fallen leaves were entangled at my feet, I could no longer follow the footsteps of the past. I could only continue to move forward step by step, savoring the brilliance hidden in the fog amidst the majesty of dragons turning their heads and phoenixes swinging their tails. When fallen leaves dotted the blurred vision in front of me, I couldn't tell whether it was the cold taste or the soft and warm saturation, or looking at flowers in the fog, which was always a different kind of beauty.

Looking back and thinking about how much poetry there is in the seasons of spring and winter. Spring and the scenery are bright, the meeting between you and me shines brightly in that season, and the crossing of a zhang of clear water sets off endless waves, nourishing the life waiting to bloom in the spores. Summer's flowing fire, the temperature of the mountain breeze, is enough to have endless aftertaste, the threads continue to clear the silk, and the affection is faint and lasting. Autumn leaves are intoxicating. I bend down and pick up a fallen leaf and twist it gently in my palm. Who told me that "autumn has been sad and lonely since ancient times"? I only find the colorful clothes over the mountains extremely enchanting. Winter snow is covered, and it is a plain coat that lightly wraps all memories, like a gentle fairy between heaven and earth. Walking among Baihua Mountain, anyone will be fascinated by it, fascinated by it, and shocked by it. The dense fog also reveals the mystery of Baihua Mountain. Autumn charm is given more meaning here and has more expression.

It drizzles continuously under the mountain, and the mountains are misty, while the top of Baihua Mountain is a vast sea of clouds, which is quite spectacular from the sky. The radar station of North China Air Traffic Control System is a landmark building on the main peak of Baihua Mountain. It stands between heaven and earth like a symbol of the crystallization of human strength and wisdom, reaching the sky, which is amazing.

The building on the other side of the radar station is Xianguang Temple on the top of Baihua Mountain. The simple building is inlaid between forest leaves, surrounded by clouds and mist, like the celestial palace of the Jade Emperor.

Baihua Mountain has its unique charm in all four seasons, especially the autumn colors. This is the best mountaineering choice for hikers, a creative paradise for photography enthusiasts, and an excellent "track" for self-driving enthusiasts. In the most beautiful autumn, pack your bags, bring your favorite family and friends, and come to Fangshan Baihuashan National Nature Reserve to enjoy the most beautiful autumn scenery in Beijing.

Turn decay into magic, from the mine pit to the Bairui Valley of the World Forest Park

Beijing Bairui Valley Scenic Area is located in Shijiaying Township, Fangshan District, the eastern foot of Baihua Mountain in Taihang, western Beijing. The scenic area has a total area of 4.9 square kilometers, an altitude of 700-1800 meters, and 85 kilometers away from urban Beijing. Since 2011, the Bairui Valley Scenic Area has been invested and developed by private entrepreneur Zhang Jinbao, and has been rated as a "Demonstration Unit for the Transformation of Mine Restoration Industry" by the local government.

The scenic area has natural mountains and rivers, beautiful ecology, rich animal and plant resources, unique meteorological landscape, and rich cultural heritage. There are 7 functional areas, including Buddhist cultural area, natural sightseeing area, mining ecological restoration area, and mining heritage display area. With Shanmen Tianchi Lake as the center, there are 2 tourist and sightseeing routes from the east and west, connected by the Nuanwogou Trail. Ruiyun Temple, built in the scenic area during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, has a history of more than 1400 years and has witnessed the vicissitudes of Chinese civilization. The main attractions include Glacier Flower Sea, Baihua Spring, Tianma Grassland, Shanmen Tianchi, Jurassic Forest, High-altitude Zipline, etc.

Beijing Bairui Valley Natural Scenic Area is located in Caojiafang Village, Shijiaying Township, under the famous Baihua Mountain in western Beijing (the scenic area project is developed in accordance with the national 4A-level tourist attraction standards). The scenic spot is 850- 1,800 meters above sea level and has a total area of 4.9 square kilometers. It is adjacent to the two well-known scenic spots of Baihua Mountain and Shenglian Mountain. Bairui Valley is 100 kilometers away from downtown Beijing and about 75 kilometers away from the seat of the government of Fangshan District.

Bairui Valley Natural Scenic Area has a unique climate. When spring and summer alternate, the unique shady environment forms natural glaciers. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, ancient trees stand tall, beautiful scenery, flowers are everywhere, and fragrant. Spring springs gurgling in glaciers and flowers, and the spring water is clear and crystal clear, allowing people to drink directly, so it is known as the "Glacier Flower Sea".

The scenic area is rich in vegetation, and different plants are distributed at different altitudes. Forests include oak forests, aspen forests, white birch forests, larch, Platycladus orientalis, maple verdant, small leaf wax, cloves, willow trees, cotinus cotinus, etc.; the understory plants are mainly grasses, mixed with spiraea, clematis, Pulsatilla chinensis, Polygonatum, grasshopper legs, etc.

Ruiyun Temple, built in the Han Dynasty, was rebuilt many times after Liao Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, it was the Xianguang Temple to protect the country. The temple originally had four entrances, namely the Tianwang Hall, the Apothecary Hall, the Bodhisattva Hall and the Thousand Buddha Pavilion. Among them, the Thousand Buddha Pavilion is a storage-style building with a hard mountain and yellow tiled roof with a double eaves. It is 15 meters high and is very spectacular. The temple enshrines a 10-meter-high copper Buddha statue with a thousand-handed and thousand-eyed.

In 2010, Shijiaying Township completely closed coal mines, actively developed the tourism industry, and developed and built the Bairui Valley Scenic Area according to the standards of a national 4A-level tourist attraction. In order to commemorate the arduous journey of the mountain people digging for coal, the relics of the coal mine were preserved and a coal mine exhibition hall was established. When you enter the coal mine, you can experience the hard work and danger of miners digging coal back then. In the exhibition hall, tools and facilities used for mining coal for hundreds of years are displayed, and the history of mining coal for hundreds of years and the changes of the times are recorded.

In the exhibition hall, a large number of displays of daily necessities produced by miners restore the difficult working environment and difficult living conditions of miners at that time. Through these exhibits, we can clearly understand how a coal miner works. With the transformation and upgrading of the energy structure, coal has gradually been replaced by other clean energy sources. At the same time, coal miners have gradually withdrawn from the historical stage. In such an exhibition hall, we can not only systematically understand the formation, development and utilization of coal resources, but also have an in-depth understanding of the type of work of coal miners.

The miniature model of mining work made based on some Zhenhui coal in the exhibition hall can intuitively understand the entire mining process and the operation methods of the pit.

In addition, Bairui Valley also has: Xiaohongshi, a mountain landscape with great geological characteristics in the scenic area. It is the Anshan breccia structure among volcanic rocks, formed during the volcanic eruption period of approximately 160 to 136 million years. After long geological changes, it has been continuously impacted by ice, snow and running water. Before the highway was built, Xiaohongshi was close to the stone cliff at the foot of the mountain. It once blocked the impact of huge mudslides and changed the direction of the water flow, thus protecting the safety of the villages below the scenic area. toot stone, which belongs to gravel tuff, was formed more than 100 million years ago. The toot stone is named after its form. Although the surface is uneven, it is naive, so it is called this by the villagers. Clay (talcum powder) is stored underground with the toot stone as the center, which is a good material for painting walls. In the restoration of ecological construction, a man-made waterfall was built based on the toot stone for tourists to enjoy.

Dahongshi, like Xiaohongshi, belongs to the Anshan breccia. After the ice and snow movement of the Ice Age and the long-term action of water flow, although the body of Dahongshi is covered with traces of being worn out, it has always stood here. Now I see the grooves on the inclined surface of the Dahongshi, which should be scratches during the movement. Dahongshi has blocked the impact of many mudslides here, protecting the safety of the villages below. Da Hongshi and Xiao Hongshi are both called "Brother Stone".

Yi Gong Pavilion was built to protect the Yi Gong stone tablet. Duke Yi's surname was Liu and his name was Xingyi, and he was also known as Duke Da Xingyi. He became a monk at the age of 7 and passed away at the age of 84. He has tens of thousands of disciples. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Duke Daxing Yi once practiced in Ruiyun Temple. After his death, he was buried here. In order to commemorate his merits, at the end of the Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty (1233), Wu Tingshi, a scholar of tribute poems in Fanyang Township, Zhuo County, wrote an article and erected this monument with a Dan seal.

The sea of glaciers and flowers,"The mountains are green since spring, and the ice on the streams has not yet disappeared. The rivers are full of flowers as the sea, and the Yulong Valley surrounds it." Every spring, lush mountain flowers such as rhododendrons, lilacs, and Zhaoshanbai bloom competitively, creating a sea of flowers. During the blooming season, the ice waterfalls with a drop of more than 200 meters in mountain streams do not melt in May and June. They set off against the bright and delicate wild flowers and are full of fun, forming a unique "glacier sea of flowers" landscape in the north. Baihua Spring, Baihua Spring is a parallel flow of two springs. It is the highest spring in Beijing and the source of the Dashi River system. It gushed out from the gaps in the rocks and rocks all year round. After testing, the mountain spring here is high-quality mountain spring water. It can be said that "after a pregnant flower turns into water, a mountain spring smiles for a hundred years."

Tianma grassland, alpine meadow landform. Because the terrain here is sunken and it is also a tuyere, it is not suitable for the growth of Gao Daqiao. Hundreds of herbs and dozens of low shrubs form the vegetation characteristics here. Among the herb plants, rhubarb, bupleurum, astragalus, etc. all have medicinal value. Oak and Zhaoshanbai in short shrubs are also raw materials for making handicrafts.

It is said that there is a legend between this day's horse pasture and Matou Mountain in the west. Long ago, outside the misty and misty heaven, the sound of hooves came from far to near. Several pegasus crossed the Southern Heaven Gate made of glass and headed towards the clouds beyond the sky. This is a celestial fairy grazing horses. The heavenly horse steps a hundred miles forward on auspicious clouds and gallops wantonly in the vast sea of clouds. The heavenly horse travels millions of miles a day without eating. In the blink of an eye, it is dusk. The celestial fairy stops on his horse and prepares to return to the celestial palace, but is attracted by the world under the clouds.

Here, there are mountains running high into the sky, but there is a vast grassland on the top of the mountain, and the pegasus are also howling in the wind. The celestial immortal understood that it seemed that the horses were also attracted by this grassland on earth, so he waved his sleeves and led the horses down to the world. The horses enjoy the delicious grass, and the immortals appreciate the scenery of the mortal world. The beautiful scenery here makes the immortals linger. In the blink of an eye, several months have passed, although the sky is shining.

The glass stone island uses glass materials through special construction methods to enclose the rocks on the top of the mountain into a transparent island. The rocks on the island were formed during the volcanic eruption 130 million years ago. The rocks still almost retain their original color, and there is a single piece of stone facing upward. All these shapes pose a mystery to people. Standing on the island, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery around you. Especially the pictographic rocks on the mountains in the distance are even more fascinating.

Eight scenic spots in Gyeonggi, Shengmi Shitang-Shenglian Mountain

Shenglian Mountain is located in Shijiaying Township, Fangshan District, Beijing City, about 90 kilometers away from downtown Beijing. Shenglian Mountain Scenic Area is at the foot of Baihua Mountain. It is a large-scale tourist attraction integrating historical and cultural heritage and cultural landscape. Shenglian Mountain Peak is outstanding, and the green peaks are all close to each other. Coupled with the mysterious holy water and holy rice, and excellent vegetation, it is known as "Kyoto's No. 1 Strange Mountain".

Shenglian Mountain is steep and majestic, with deep valleys at the foot of the mountain, gurgling streams, high mountain peaks and steep cliffs, and dense cliffs. The jungle is lush, ancient trees are towering, and temples, pavilions and pavilions are hidden in the thick shade of Cui Gai. Between the mountains, the path between the mountains has beautiful characteristics, stretching between the ancient temples, and also showcasing the characteristics of male, dangerous, mysterious and beautiful. It is known as the Five Little Mountains in the west of Beijing.

Shenglian Mountain Scenic Area takes Taihang Mountain as its vein and was called Taishan Mountain in ancient times. Because the entire mountain resembles a lotus flower, it is called "Shenglian Mountain". It was built in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the late Qing Dynasty. Temples were built on the banks of the steep bank, integrating Buddhism and Taoism, demonstrating unique cultural characteristics. According to records, it was praised as one of the "Eight Scenes of Gyeonggi" in the Ming Dynasty, but was later destroyed by war. In 2000, the original appearance of various relics was restored. At the same time, modern service facilities such as yurts and star-rated hotels with different styles were built in the leisure area of the scenic spot, covering an area of 48 square kilometers. On June 18, 2004, when it officially opened to the outside world, the 10th Fangshan Tourism and Culture Festival was successfully hosted.

The main landscapes include Shanmen, Shenniu Ridge, Foyi Mountain, Zebra Rock, Santangshui, Sandalwood Tea House, Worship Platform, Jiulong Valley, Cuiping Peak, Twenty-eight Pan Road, Yazi Fanting, Pantao Palace, Jiulian Cave, Sanqing Temple, Guzhen Hall, Meditation Platform, Baxian Cave, Tianjie, Cai Yixian Tomb, Li Niangzi House, Changchun Cave, Guandi Temple, Xishan Madonna, Tongtian Cave, Summer Snow Observation, Changxing Temple, Wanxian Cave, Shengshui Cave, Shengmi Shitang, Wangxiang Pavilion, Nantianmen Gate, Baili Reclining Buddha, Shenglian Pagoda, Ancient Nianfang, Xinglin Pagoda Courtyard, Xiaoyao Valley, Tiansheng Bridge, Yanguye Nose, Hanging Horse Terrace, Ancient Pine, Welcome Pine, etc.

Nanjiao Ancient Village, the smell of fireworks in autumn

Nanjiao Village is located in Nanjiao Township, Fangshan District, southwest of Beijing, at the western foot of Dafangshan. It is a typical natural village in deep mountains, with scattered settlements. The village site is located in a ravine and is built along the river valley. The entrance of the ravine is narrow and wide and shaped like a cellar, hence the name Nanjiao. From the Qin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the Nanjiao area was the scope of activity of the northern ethnic minorities. During the Song and Liao Dynasties, Dafangshan was the boundary of the northern and southern regimes. In 1126, Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty and completely controlled the Dafangshan area. There were wars in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties. In order to escape the war, refugees crossed Dafangshan and came to live in Nanjiao area. According to documentary records and inferred from the ancient trees at the entrance of Nanjiao Village, Nanjiao Jiancun has a history of 600- 700 years and was once one of the "nine ancient towns" in Fangshan. Several large-scale migrations in the early years of the Ming Dynasty were the first opportunity for the development of Nanjiao area.

Nanjiao was once one of the four major ancient commercial towns in Fangshan. The ancient commercial road in Nanling passed through the countryside, and there was an endless stream of business and merchants. It was prosperous for a time. From the Qin Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty to the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty, especially in the early Ming Dynasty, several large-scale migrations from Shanxi accelerated the development of the region. The ancestors opened up land to create fields, planted trees and cypresses, built graves and temples, and their descendants multiplied. The real prosperity period of Nanjiao was during the Guangxu Period. Due to the discovery and large-scale mining of Dafangshan coal resources, many people were attracted to settle here, and Nanjiao became one of the prosperous villages. There are many shops in the old street, and caravans of camel coal come and go. As a result, Nanjiao's cultural undertakings also prospered, leaving many monuments to future generations. Because Nanjiao's coal is particularly high-quality, Nanjiao's coal is willing to be used for hundreds of miles. Therefore, from the late Yuan and early Ming to the late Qing Dynasty, Nanjiao has been in a period of rapid development. At that time, in Nanjiao Ancient Street, caravans carrying coal shuttled back and forth, and camel bells sounded, creating a prosperous scene. Gradually, the coal in Nanjiao gradually emerged from a well-known Beijing-West Ridge Ancient Road; the Nanling Ancient Road also gradually achieved the glory of the commercial street in Nanjiao Ancient Town.

Walking through the thousand-year-old locust trees in the west of the village, you turn a corner and you will find the street building with peeling walls. In the east of the village a mile away, there is also a similar street-crossing building. Two street-crossing buildings built in key locations have become the gateway to the ancient commercial street. In the late years of the Qing Dynasty, the Renyi Bureau, which was in charge of taxation, set up a card here. A beam stopped the passing caravan and checked the tax vouchers one by one. Today, the weathered bluestone on the upstairs building across the street is concave and uneven, and the word "South Cellar" above the arched door opening is vaguely discernible.

Nanjiao Village currently has more than 500 sets and more than 1000 traditional houses. Traditional resources mainly include the 1.2-kilometer-long ancient commercial street, the ruins of 36 old shops, cultural protection units represented by the Renyi Bureau, the Theater Building, etc., and 17 Pudeng cultural relics. Folk flower fairs such as Silver Music Festival, Lantern Festival, Lion Club, etc. are popular. In 2016, it was selected into the fourth batch of Chinese traditional villages. 1. The village is selected, the settlement environment is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the pattern is strict, the history and culture have gone through vicissitudes and have a long history, and the ancient commercial streets are prosperous for a time.

Watching the middle flag, pushing the stone mill, visiting the ancient house, and visiting the ancient road, it's the same autumn, but it's a different experience. Why not come to Nanjiao Village for a walk and have a look? Feel the most authentic atmosphere of fireworks in ancient villages and enjoy the most simple rural folk culture.
