I have been to Beijing many times on and off in the past few years. Compared with Shanghai, I like Beijing more. I like the leisurely life of the old Beijingers, the gossip at the entrance of the Hutong, and the daily life of my uncle walking the bird.

Maybe it's because I have never lived in Beijing for a long time, so I can't feel the fast pace here. In August last year, I also came to Beijing. In those days, I plunged into the hutong in the Second Ring Road, lived in a courtyard house, got up early for a Beijing-style breakfast, and went to Houhai to listen to a song after sunset.

A year later, I returned to Beijing, but this time I started a short self-driving trip with my father. My father had stayed in Beijing for 7 years. He cooked more cooked food in this city than I did. It's just that he has never been to such a large suburb of Beijing like me.

For this short vacation, go to Haituo Mountain Valley.

[One drove for three and a half hours and approached Little Switzerland]

I have always longed for Switzerland, like its environment and landscape.

But travel has always been delayed because of this or other things. Take advantage of your spare time in August to visit this little Switzerland on the outskirts of Beijing to see if the scenery here is as unforgettable as it says online.

In order to make it easier to travel the next day, I specially chose to stay in Nanfaxin the night before. The advantage of staying here is that I can quickly enter the highway without going through the terrible morning rush hour in Beijing the next day.

Starting from Nanfaxin at 7 a.m., passing through Badaling Expressway, it took three and a half hours to reach Haituo Valley.

Haituo Valley is located at the junction of northern Zhangshanying Town, Yanqing County, Beijing, and Chicheng County, Hebei Province. It is about 18 kilometers away from Yanqing. It is close to Haituo Scenic Area and the natural environment is very good, so many Beijingers come here every weekend to breathe fresh air.

Before I arrived here, I was driving on the road with rolling mountains on both sides, and I really thought I had arrived in Switzerland.

The ones currently built in Haituo Valley are quite good, with special trails and sightseeing buses to ride on.

Walking on the trail, the mountains in the distance look particularly clear against the blue sky and white clouds.

While walking, I still saw the words. On this trail, there are slogans like this everywhere, and many young people sit here and check in.

The valley is nothing like summer. The temperature is around 20 degrees and the wind is accompanied by it. You need to prepare a thicker coat to come here. Compared with the temperature in Beijing's Urban area, this is really a good place to escape the heat.

There are such statues everywhere on the lawn of Haituo Valley. They are very cute and many people take photos with them.

At present, many experience areas, tourist areas, resorts, etc. have been built here. If you come here for a weekend, you can not only camp, but also experience some of the projects here.

[2·1473, the highest cafe in Beijing]

1473 Cafe is also one of the biggest highlights in Haituo Valley.

It is said to be a wooden cabin tied to the same door as the Queen's Hunting Lodge. Every piece of wood used for construction here came from the west across the ocean.

The cafe is built on the top of the mountain and follows the signs at the foot of the mountain. It takes about 10-15 minutes to reach it.

Stepped roads are not easy to walk on, and they are even more "challenging" for people like me who have difficulty climbing mountains. Fortunately, the weather is cool and the shadows of trees are dancing along the way. It is also a kind of scenery between stops and stops.

Meeting such a statue halfway through the road should show us the process of transporting goods. Compared with the burden of others, we are much happier.

There are such guide signs guiding us along the way.

Remember, don't walk too fast, happiness is chasing you.

This is the case for the half-mountain trail. The leaves block most of the sun, and the shadows of the trees on the steps are mottled.

When we are approaching, you can already see a corner of 1473 Cafe through the gaps in the leaves.

The wood used to build this cafe is more than 100 years old and is of the same quality as the Queen's hunting hut in 1962.

The hill where the cafe is located can reach 1472 meters above sea level, but the reason why it is named 1473 is that the extra meter is a sentiment and an attitude.

In the cafe, you can drink coffee, taste drinks, eat freshly baked pizza, have an exquisite afternoon tea with friends, etc.

I still saw warm reminders in the ordering area, but unfortunately I didn't see the cute hairy child. He was probably taking a lunch break.

The cafe is not big. There are not many seats on the first floor, and there are even fewer seats on the second floor. In comparison, the second floor is quieter, and many people are sitting quietly reading.

There are also seats outdoors, but the wind on the top of the mountain in Beijing is really too strong. After working outside for 10 minutes, I caught a bad cold.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire Haituo Valley.

On the other side of the cafe is surrounded by another mountain.

Seeing the continuous mountains and the drifting clouds in the distance is probably the so-called climbing and looking far away.

[3. Another year is Gesang flowers blooming]

Summer here is the most comfortable summer.

With the breeze blowing, the wind is high and the clouds are thin, I stroll between the mountain roads and spend the weekend leisurely.

The Gesang flowers in the mountains are blooming vigorously. Along both sides of the road, you feel very comfortable walking here without driving.

This is a small slope. Gesang flowers are planted along the slope. There is a European windmill at the foot of the mountain. Looking at it this way, it feels like we are in a foreign country, but in fact, we are only 3 hours away from the city.

If you come here, you may like it as much as I do and the purest air here.

[4] From the comparison of swans in Swan Lake]

The Heart of Haituo is actually two lakes, one large and the other, in the Haituo Valley.

This lake, whether viewed from the tent area or the side of the Ruilan Hotel, feels very nice. Everything you can see here is high mountains.

The green mountain landscape in summer and the rapidly fluttering clouds are unforgettable.

The lake is surrounded by very beautiful European buildings. If I didn't say that this is in Beijing, I might really think that it is in a European lake area. During the day, the building is reflected on the water, coupled with the blue sky and white clouds, like a unique decorated gem.

The owners of the lake are flocks of swans, including black swans and white swans. They are swimming and playing very close to the lake.

They are not afraid of people. When there are many people, they will also perform and show their "singing voice" and long neck.

Compared with white swans, black swans are more likely to attract people's attention. When two black swans are together, their long necks can easily form the shape of love. They are also expressing love and friendliness to us.

Many supporting facilities have been built around the lake, such as lawns, wooden boardwalks, campsites, etc.

Walking by the lake is the best slow time.

[Wu·Children's Library, a place that belongs only to children]

There is another place in Haituo Valley that I find particularly considerate, which is a special children's library here. This is aimed at young people aged 3-12 who have independent reading ability, and the bookshelves are also divided, and books of different age groups are placed in different places.

This is also to cultivate children's autonomy and reading habits. Adults are not allowed to accompany them.

For several families to travel together, the children can read books here and have special personnel to take care of them, and the adults can also go and see their own things, killing two birds with one stone.

The design of the children's library is very beautiful. In addition to the appearance, the indoor sea is specially designed with bookshelves with "undulating hills and valleys, resembling mountains".

This design inspiration comes from the rolling mountains in the suburbs of Beijing.

The bookshelves are densely packed with books, mainly picture books, and there are also some reading materials suitable for older children. Of course, in addition to books, there are also Lego bricks here, which are mainly provided to relatively young children. Generally speaking, children who walk here will spontaneously remain quiet and will not affect other children's reading.

On the other hand, for safety reasons, bookshelves are not allowed to climb, although the construction is much like a slide.

When I came in here, there were several children reading quietly. They seem to be regular visitors here. Their parents left them here, and they also choose their favorite books to read.

This quiet space has also become a paradise for children.

[Lu·Camping Park, a little look in summer]

How can you miss a different starry sky camping in the hot summer? Although this camping model has become very accustomed to it abroad, it is still relatively rare in our country. Especially if camps are provided on a large scale like this, there are even fewer with mature supporting facilities.

The camp is a large open grassland, where you can camp, listen to classes, drink, chat, and be in a daze. You can also watch stars and listen to music at night. Currently, Haituo Valley provides several types of tents. These spire-like ones are relatively better and larger. They can sleep for two people or a family of three, and can sleep at 600+ per night.

Of course, we also have ordinary tents that we commonly have. The price is relatively cheap, but the space is small and the overall price is relatively ordinary. The price of a bowl is 200+. If you choose to bring your own equipment, you can also, but the temperature in the mountains is low in the morning and evening, so you must pay attention to preventing cold and keeping warm.

Sleep here, accompanied by the stars in the sky, watch the most beautiful sunrise, filter out the impetuousness of being in the city, and combine lively and quiet, nature and beautiful scenery. Nowadays, it has become one of the most popular party modes for young people.

[Qi·Asia's largest RV, fashionable life in Europe and America]

The RV themed hotel here is the largest in Asia. This kind of RV travel life has been popular in Europe and the United States for many years, but the domestic craze for it has just begun.

The RV hotels in Haituo Valley are all American Jayco trailers. The interior space of the RV is still very large, and the basically independent bedroom, living room and bathroom are all included. There is not much difference between living here and living at home.

The RV hotel here basically covers an area of 600 square meters in a single camp. There is also a tent next to each RV as an auxiliary. You can play in the tent during the day and go back to the RV to sleep at night.

Of course, here, in addition to sleeping, you can also do some BBQ, picnics and the like. On the grass, wouldn't it be great to see the distance and enjoy the delicious food?

The RV camp also has an exclusive area, and the experience of staying in is still relatively high. Compared with tent hotels, it is more suitable for young people's high, but it is more suitable for families to travel.

[Some small surprises at Ba·Ruilan Hotel]

In the Haituo Valley, in addition to tent camping and RV hotels, there is also a Ruilan hotel. This hotel is built to the standards of a star-rated hotel. Compared with the first two, the environment is better and the experience of staying in is natural. It makes it more comfortable.

As soon as I walked into this area, I saw slogans like "Companion is true love". Coming here for a vacation is a process of companionship.

The architectural styles of the Ruilan Hotel are more Western-style. The rooms are built against the mountains. Some small details always make people think that they are in Switzerland and are very exquisite.

There are two important places here at Ruilan Hotel, one is the if book bar, and the other is Tao Taro.

The book bar is mainly for people to rest. The space is not large, but there are dedicated people in charge of it, so the room is very quiet. There are rooms on the left and right sides of the second floor here, which can be entered, and there are also many projects to experience inside.

I first met a place where clay is made here. Generally, there are many people when holding activities, and there are also special teachers to teach how to pull embryos. It happened to be noon when we arrived and there was no one.

Among the two rooms on one side of the hall, one is filled with magazines and books, and the other is filled with potted plants and exquisite bowls.

The other room is a reading place at the entrance. The bookshelves are filled with various types of books. If you want to read here in the afternoon, you will not be bored.

I sat on the sofa and read books for a while. Some of them were works that I was very familiar with and had read many times when I was a student.

But the most surprising encounter is probably this small room.

Walking into the room, what came into view was a wall full of old tapes. In this era when listening to music already relies entirely on mobile phones and computers, it is really difficult to see tapes that were popular in the last century.

I said, maybe I could find Youpeng Su's tape here.

As soon as he finished speaking, his father said,"Do you think that place belongs to your Lao Su?" When I saw it, it was actually his. The 1999 tape was mainly some classic songs from his early years.

As a semi-retired "brainless fan" of Youpeng Su, he naturally took photos when he saw him. For some reason, seeing such a tape is like seeing the past, the golden era of the Chinese music industry.

Youpeng Su, who started as a Little Tigers, also happened to catch up with that era. Later, I found four more tapes of the Little Tigers on this wall, but unfortunately these were not sold to the public, so I could only take photos and have a look.

Finally, I took a photo in the window and left all my memories of this place in the photo.

Tao Tarang is more of a good place for children, and the interior decoration of the room will be more cartoon and cute, which is very suitable for children to play here by themselves.

When I came here, there was a girl dressed in a little princess dress who was playing very attentively, and no one could influence her. Her parents should have gone to do something else and left her alone. There is a special person to take care of her here, so her parents can feel at ease.

At the entrance of the Ruilan Hotel, there is a waiting platform for transportation vehicles in the scenic area. Stand here and wait for the bus to your next destination.

[Nine·Black Pine Forest Cycling Club, the fun of coffee and cycling]

If you think that you can only come to Haituo Valley for leisure and that it is a relatively gentle trip, you are very wrong. Here, there is also a black pine forest cycling theme park, which also gave rise to a black pine forest cycling club.

In the Black Pine Forest Cycling Club, you can drink coffee and taste afternoon tea here, sit indoors with cycling themes everywhere, and sit outdoors with the breeze blowing and looking at the open scenery. It is also a good experience.

In the afternoon, there were a lot of people here, most of whom were small groups of family and friends. Walking here, there was the aroma of coffee everywhere, and the air was a little sweet.

Sitting in an open-air seat, listening to music in the wind, and feeling the petty bourgeoisie life that belongs to Beijing.

Black Pine Forest Cycling Theme Park is a cycling park built by Haituo Valley with a million yuan investment for riders. Here, cycling enthusiasts can get the greatest satisfaction. Of course, it doesn't matter if you are not particularly professional. There is a professional TO team, so that you can immediately experience what "freedom like the wind" is.

There are professional mountain off-road bikes and high/medium/junior tracks here, making it a "knight" experience that the whole family can play.

Come here and start a competition of friendship along the professional track. If you stay in the city for a long time, your life will be stressful and your body functions will decline. Come here to exercise, and you will become healthier the more you ride.

[Shi·Haidibao Restaurant and Lawn BBQ]

In the valley, you don't have to worry about eating. There are also restaurants here. The most convenient and convenient one is Haidibao Restaurant. This is a restaurant that explores the delicious taste of potatoes. In addition to potatoes, it is also served with burgers, fried chicken, pizza and other meals.

It's good to try these fast food occasionally. Of course, this has become the most popular Western fast food restaurant for children in the valley.

The restaurant is very large and can accommodate many people dining at the same time.

Different from fast food restaurants in the city, the French fries here are made from high-quality potatoes that have been baptized by high altitude and strong sunshine. Fried chicken and the like are also selected organic poultry from local farmers. They have both taste and health. Take into account.

In addition to Haidibao, there is a 24-hour BBQ on these two days due to the music festival. The lawn is full of tables, chairs and parasols. You don't have to worry about getting caught in the sun when eating. You can still enjoy the breeze. It feels very good.

There are also many things to eat here, including old Beijing flavors, such as Zhajiang noodles, etc., as well as very common cold noodles, tea eggs, etc.

There are many seasonings here, and you can add them according to your own taste.

This kind of big roast sausage seems to be very common and is preferred by meat lovers.

There are fried chicken, kebabs, roasted sweet potatoes and the like. In fact, I am not particularly interested in the rest, but how can there be no kebabs in summer? Summer without kebabs is an incomplete summer!

Kebabs and beer are perfect on a summer night.

In the Haituo Valley, there are also specially provided mineral water. The packaging is customized. Like on the road here, there are some interesting words. For example, this bottle says,"This bottle of water has no taste. If you think it is sweet, it is because you are sweet in your heart."

[Ten One·Super-burning summer memories in Haituo Valley]

After dinner, the most exciting thing is this White Birch Forest Music Festival.

When it was just getting dark, the music on the stage began to play. The lights, stage equipment, and music were all ready, and we waited for the start of the 18:30 event.

The night here is very burning. With the company of rock musicians, everyone present has transformed into a small fan, waving the glow stick in their hands and integrating themselves into this music.

Each band will sing several songs. Sometimes, I feel that playing music in Beijing is really atmosphere. As long as I like it, I can turn this into a career.

I also stood under the stage, swinging to the music like all fans.

People are all gathered here, waving their arms and interacting with the singers.

The night in Haituo Valley is like this, a crazy and lively night.

The light shines far away here, taking pictures of the endless horizon.

On the lawn, the picnic mat and light belt were still lit. Sitting on the grass, listening to songs while the wind was blowing, drinking wine, and chatting about his own stories.

[Tenth Two·Epilogue]

Busy urban life has been too long, remember to slow down.

Living in a different environment, maybe the years will be more gentle.
