Shuizhen Jiangnan has a good scenery. I used to know that the flowers are red at the sunrise and the flowers are red and the spring comes, and the rivers are green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan? This poem by the poet king Bai Juyi brought people's thoughts to the picturesque Jiangnan. Jiangnan has enjoyed the reputation of a paradise on earth since ancient times. There are countless small bridges and flowing water, pastoral cottages and small towns and ancient towns here, which are picturesque. There are many northerners like me who envy this Jiangnan scenery very much.
In fact, there is also a charming town with beautiful scenery in the north. It not only combines the graceful beauty of the Jiangnan water town, but also merges the majestic and majestic north. It is Gubei Water Town located in Miyun District, Beijing City. Gubei Water Town is backed by the Simatai Great Wall, the most beautiful and dangerous in China, and sits on the Yuanyang Lake Reservoir. It is an international resort town that combines the rare mountains and water cities in the north and combines the north and south customs.
Walking into Gubei Water Town, you will find many antique buildings and lingering water. The bright afternoon sun shines on you through the lush tree canopy, giving you a trace of warmth, which coincides with the quiet, pleasant and ancient charm of the water town. Immerse yourself in the gentle slow time of the water town.
The theme of bridges is indispensable in Gubei Water Town. The entire town is connected by Xiaotang River. Streets and scenic spots are connected by many stone bridges, such as Yinjian Bridge, Banqing Bridge, Hongzhuang Bridge, etc., the name is gentle and the shape of the bridge is different.
Traveling between the small bridges and flowing water, I always want to see the beauty of the entire town clearly. However, both sides of the Xiaotang River are full of green trees, and crimson branches and leaves floating in the wind, like the long hair of a young girl. Covering people's eyes, reflections poured into the water, and the breeze floated and stirred layers of ripples, which was beyond words.
This situation is simple, pure and without any modification, complementing the ancient charm of the town, but not exaggerated. The boundless beauty of autumn in the scenery makes the town more vibrant.
From time to time, there are rowing boats sailing across the Tang River. Some people are chatting on the boat, perhaps sharing interesting things about their travel; some relax in silence and immerse themselves in the quiet time of the ancient town. What emerges in front of me is the picturesque water town style of the ancient town, and what comes in my ears is the cool sound of paddle boards teasing the water surface, which is particularly emotional.
Whether in the south or the north, everyone has a small town in their hearts that haunts them. My heart is the small bridges and flowing water in the town, and my heart is the stone alleys of Water Town. Enjoy the rare tranquility during the long and slow time in Gubei Water Town. From sunrise to sunset......
The Great Wall Simatai Great Wall is the only section of the ancient Great Wall that retains the original appearance of the Ming Great Wall. The walls of the Great Wall are built along the steep mountains and are famous for their strangeness, uniqueness and dangers. Luo Zhewen, a famous Chinese ancient architect, once commented that "the Great Wall of China is the greatest in the world, and the Simatai Great Wall can be called the greatest Great Wall of China."
Gubeikou has been known for its majestic dangers since ancient times and has a superior military geographical position. The "Miyun County Annals" describes Gubeikou that "the capital controls the border fortress in the north, and Shuntian belongs to the three passes of Songting, Gubeikou and Juyong as the main points, while Gubei is Youchong". Gubeikou has attracted countless literati and scholars with its unique military culture. Su Zhe, Liu Chang, Naran Xingde and other literary poems have left many famous and good sentences here. Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong have praised it many times, praising its precipitous and important terrain with the words "The earth is holding the throat and moving back to the desert, and the sky is leaving the lock key to the Xiongguan Pass". Therefore, the Gubeikou area is known as the key to the capital.
The Simatai Great Wall meanders on the ridge cut by knives and axes, drawing clear winding lines with the blue sky. It drags its dilapidated body with history and extends to the endless sky, like a blue dragon that seems to be about to rise into the sky., around the town, telling us its thousand-year story.
The day's plan is in the morning. Every moment of time in Gubei Water Town cannot be wasted. It is a rare experience to get up early and climb the Simatai Great Wall and practice yoga with a handsome Indian teacher. Put aside the busy noise of the city, breathe the fresh air, and in the gentle and comfortable environment of water town, unfold your body to embrace the beauty and start a new day.
After yoga, a hearty breakfast is ready, which we brought ourselves. There are fruits, breads, juice, corn, etc. It is very rich. Who has ever experienced breakfast on the Great Wall? You can enjoy happiness in your circle of friends again.
The red leaves change all year round, and the warm summer is gone in a flash. The quiet autumn unknowingly dyed every corner of the town red. Autumn has come and the town has turned into color. To be honest, I haven't calmed down for a long time. I haven't listened to the stories of nature like this. In the slow time of water town, watching flowers and leaves lingering, listening to birds singing, and watching the autumn wind wandering in the red leaves, you will feel comfortable physically and mentally. Red, yellow, orange, and green alternate with the most beautiful autumn colors in every corner of the town. The most conspicuous thing is the fleeting red color, just like the brightest fireworks in the festival, decorating the water town like a fairy tale world.
Walking among the green bricks and powders of the town, fiery red leaves crawl all over the walls, giving off the warmth and noise to their fullest extent, as if they had to use all their strength to render this season, but the few clusters of greenery that come to their eyes still have exciting vitality.
It is said that the taste of the world is joy, and the most beautiful in the world is in the clear autumn. Everything in autumn seems to have become simple, calm, clear and indifferent. At this time, Gubei Water Town always hides many of the most beautiful scenery, waiting for you to stop and discover.
Autumn in Shuizhen is nostalgic. In the early morning, the mountains are misty and the water of the Tanghe River is as clear as an ancient mirror, reflecting both sides of the river. Occasionally, a group of ducks swim by, drawing ripples that spread out, just like the ripples of time.
This trip to Gubei Water Town is worth it. The slow times and simple and quiet days in the town seem to be the same as they were a hundred years ago. Autumn colors are like rainbows, covering wooden doors, stone walls, and roofs, and my heart is bright and bright.
Yexiu Gubei Water Town is a real "city that never sleeps." When you are still immersed in the small bridges and flowing water under the ancient town and the green willows under the clear sky. The lights of thousands of homes have quietly lit up the town and lit up the endless night, leaving all hearts that should have been silent at night confused in the dreamy night of the ancient town. The night is deep, and the gorgeous neon lights dispel the poetic beauty of Shuizhen during the day, welcoming the sultry bright light of the night.
The most lively place in Gubei Water Town at night is Wangjing Street, where a wonderful light and water dance show will be performed. Most people will gather here after dinner, and some people will even wait here half an hour in advance, perhaps because they are afraid of not being able to find a good place to enjoy this visual feast. Wangjing Tower will also light up the lights early to point out the direction for people, and sweet music will also play along, as if to welcome people and warm up for the upcoming performance.
Beautiful and cheerful music, coupled with dazzling lights, the interaction between sound and light and advanced projection technology, turned Wangjing Tower into a "magic building." This magic building constantly changes various gorgeous colors and even changes its shape. One moment, a phoenix fluttering its wings and flying high, and another moment, a lion jumping up and down appeared. It seemed that Wangjing Tower was alive. This was an amazing magic performance.
In addition to the unpredictable light show upstairs in Wangjing, the music fountain in front of the building is not to be outdone. The water column keeps swinging with the music and lights, and dazzling flames appear from time to time. The perfect fusion of music and light, and the passion of water and fire collide. It is said that "water and fire are incompatible." Under the starry night sky, with melodious music and backed by the handsome Great Wall, technology blends the beauty of opposition together to feel the gentleness of water, the enthusiasm of fire, and the magic of light.
Meisu (1). Huotang Boutique Hotel is located in the deep and peaceful Lan Valley of Gubei Water Town, deep into the hinterland, backed by the Simatai Great Wall and facing the Yanshan branch. It sits on the extremely beautiful mountain scenery and hides a Huotang Boutique Hotel that combines Tibetan style and modernity.
Every room here seems to be dedicated to the Great Wall, easily bringing the beautiful scenery into the room. In the transparent and spacious room, there is a copper bathtub arranged next to the window, soft warm yellow light, and soft skin-friendly bedding. Sitting on the spacious open-air balcony with a cup of coffee in hand, looking at the Great Wall and the clouds of clouds that seem to be within reach, even if you stay here all day, you feel that the trip is worthwhile.
This is not so much a wild luxury hotel as a cultural museum in the walking room. Traditional architectural techniques were used unreservedly in the construction of Huotang Hotel. The bark covered walls were integrated into the natural environment, and the roof was filled with sunlight from locally made rock slices. Between the solid civil structures, the light was like a solid body. Organized inside. There are light, temperature, space, materials, and fog, making the experience of staying very rich.
Bathed in the light falling from between the high roofs, walking into the heated swimming pool, resting on the terrace facing the landscape, I gradually became obsessed with this hotel.
As the "spiritual core" of Huotang Hotel, the bar has an open-air fire pond built in. Above the fire pond is a huge circular patio left by a tulou style building, creating a "top light" spatial conception. Step on the gentle staircase and walk up the circular corridor. There is a sound of footsteps at your feet. Above your head is a huge circular ridge line, and above the ridge is the Simatai Great Wall.
(2) There is a tent camp not far from Huotang Hotel. Compared with the more exquisite Huotang, it seems to be relatively "wild" here. The tranquility of Lan Valley behind Gubei Water Town is reflected here.
Warm and comfortable inner hall with all accommodation supplies. Whether it is the simple appearance or the exquisite inside of the tent, it gives people great temptation. Travel is about a fresh experience, and travel is about a different aesthetic feeling. Living in such a tent, integrating into nature, and breathing the fresh air of the valley, this is the meaning of travel.
3. The beauty of Niancheng Hotel is so abstract and seems ambiguous. Perhaps this is why it is worth following for a lifetime. We need a place like this to share the beautiful life. This time, we met Niancheng Hotel at the foot of the Great Wall.
The plain white appearance, the minimalist decoration style, and the "blank space" geometric design form create more surprises for travel while pursuing beauty.
Each room has huge floor-to-ceiling windows that open to the summer sun. The magnificent scenery of the countryside unfolds outside the window like a scroll. Mountains, trees, paths, streams... every detail in the room exudes a profound and simple beauty. It is introverted, subservient and warm, accepting every modern person who tries to escape from arrogant secular pursuits, and humbly giving every spatial experience a beautiful feeling.
Food ① Hot Pot Guguan Copper Hot Pot is opposite the first Qiaotou Cake on Wangjinglou Snack Street in Water Town. The facade is small and the inner hall is large. Garlic colored lights hanging on the roof are particularly eye-catching. If there are few people, they use exquisite small copper pots, one for each person; if there are many people, it is a large copper pot surrounded by them. The ingredients are all fresh, and the fish slices and fat beef taste very good.
② The roast meat roast meat restaurant is located at the foot of the Simatai Great Wall. It faces the river and faces the street, has an elegant environment, and the interior decoration of the restaurant is simple and warm. The store specializes in Miyun local dishes. The Miyun specialty roast pork here is a must-order delicacy for almost every table. When eating, it is sandwiched in sesame cakes and served with yellow sauce and lettuce. It is fat but not greasy.
③ Shandong Cuisine Wangjinglou Restaurant is located in the Wangjinglou Boutique Hotel near mountains and rivers. It is a good place to enjoy Shandong cuisine and fine Cantonese cuisine. Here, you can taste the salty and fresh taste of Shandong cuisine, and you can also taste the oily and oily taste of Cantonese cuisine. You can try ancient patrol chicken, roasted sea cucumber with green onions, first-class old jar meat from Confucius Mansion, and private private Bohai fish.
