"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan Mountain" was the leisurely and leisurely "slow time" of Tao Yuanming in the Wei and Jin Dynasties;"farming in Nanyang" was the daily life of Mr. Wolong of the Three Kingdoms and "mountains and rivers depend on each other, and the scenery stays in the four seasons".

"The benevolent Leshan", China has had a special affection for "mountain dwelling" since ancient times.

She is far and near. Rather than yearning for it, it is better to have a "leisurely journey" that goes both ways with "mountain life".

With the steering wheel in hand, you can leave as you say. Follow the orange seeds and approach Mentougou in western Beijing...

A journey of prayer

When it comes to the origin and development of Beijing, there are many folk proverbs in Beijing. The most famous saying is "There was Tanzhe Temple first, and then there was Beijing City." Tanzhe Temple is located at the foot of Tanzhe Mountain in the southeast of Mentougou District in western Beijing. Orange seeds start from the direction of Zhongguancun, which is exactly 30 kilometers away. The temple sits facing north to south, leaning against Mount Everest.

Tanzhe Temple, which has a history of more than 1700 years, was originally named "Jiafu Temple" and was named "Xiuyun Temple" by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. However, because there is a Longtan behind the temple and a curdtree on the mountain, people have always been called "Tanzhe Temple". The ancient temple is full of incense and is a good place to pray for good weather and happiness throughout the year during the Spring Festival.

After purchasing the ticket, go north. In front of you is the gate of the temple, and the plaque reads "Build Xiuyun Zen Temple". Entering the gate, you will find the Hall of Tianwang in front of you, and the courtyard on the right is Xiangji Kitchen, which is the kitchen in the original temple.

In the courtyard, there is a large copper pot, one of the two treasures of Tanzhe Temple. It is 1.8 meters in diameter and 1.5 meters deep. It was used by the monks in the temple to cook vegetables in the past. In fact, this copper pot is the smallest of the three copper pots in the original temple. The largest one has a diameter of 3 meters and 2 meters deep. It can put 10 stones of rice into one porridge.

Another treasure of Tanzhe Temple is the stone fish. It is stored on the west side of Guanyin Hall. It is 1.7 meters long and weighs 150 kilograms. It looks like copper, but is actually stone. It can produce five sounds when struck. It is said that it is a treasure of the South China Sea Dragon Palace. The Dragon King gave it to the Jade Emperor. Later, there was a severe drought in the world, and the Jade Emperor gave it to Tanzhe Temple to eliminate the disaster.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the temples are filled with blessing characters, lanterns, Spring Festival couplets, and blessing containers... The word "Fu" that appears in every corner and can be seen everywhere gives people a beautiful hope. No matter when they come, they will meditate, pray for blessings, visit, or make an agreement that remains unchanged every year.

Many tourists and prayers come here to burn incense, hang blessing lanterns, ring blessings with coins, throw rice bags, and the temple will also have the word "blessing" given to tourists. Pray for good luck and health in the Year of the Rabbit, and everything goes well.

Ziyangshanzhuang

Leave Tanzhe Temple, drive all the way, and then head deep into the mountains. Then we arrived at "Ziyang Villa". Even as it was deep winter, there were still the crisp cries of birds, and the wind blew against the branches, making rustling sounds. When we arrived at the gate of the mountain, engraved with "Ziyang Villa", we arrived.

Thanks to the ups and downs of the mountains and the shadows of the trees, every guest room and every window also have different mountain and forest scenery, which instantly pulls your thoughts from the city into nature.

Manshan Park

"Slowness is a sign of happiness."

--Milan Kundera

"Slow life" is a luxury for the contemporary era.

Backed by the West Mountain and hidden between the valleys-Tangu TANKO·Slow Flash Park is the future look of the mountain town.

It was like traveling through a time machine, and suddenly, it was right in front of me. Tan Valley is located in Mentougou, west of Beijing, where nature is fresh and cultural heritage is profound. There are endless beautiful mountains here, and the Slow Flash Park is built against the mountains.

Combine the mountain height difference to create a terrace landscape that adapts to local conditions. Through the rising steps along the mountain and the characteristic gentle slope vegetation, people can touch the comfortable nature at will.

In winter, this is already a world of ice and snow and a paradise for children. Tree houses, snow ladders, children's laughter filled with laughter. Being in the mountains, a slow vacation life flows out like a clear spring in a mountain stream.

If you are tired from playing, you can also order a cup of Italian and grilled chicken wings at the Yichi Garden Coffee in Slow Flash Park. In the warm coffee shop, you can look at the white snow outside the window, as if you are in Northern Europe.

A slow day's life brings you no shortage of body and peace of mind.

Driving back to Haidian through the sunset glow.

The trip to Mentougou has a long aftertaste.
