In the 21st century, when globalization is advancing day by day, Western festivals have gradually integrated into the hearts of the public. Christmas is one of my favorite Western festivals. This year, due to special reasons, I can't go abroad to experience the traditional and authentic Christmas. What would it be like to have a Christmas with Chinese characteristics and antique style in China? So I came to the fairy tale town under the Great Wall to spend a romantic Christmas.
Entering Gubei Water Town, you can see ancient low-rise buildings everywhere. The river water under the small bridge has already formed thick ice, giving people the urge to go skating. The reed swamps in front of me were still swaying in the breeze, showing a sense of tranquility and desolation.
I still remember visiting Gubei Water Town in summer. Summer and winter are completely different scenery. Gubei Water Town has a stone bridge building in the south of the Yangtze River, but the river under the bridge has long frozen, and I have to remind me that this is indeed in the north. The gentle pavilions and pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River make me feel a little uncomfortable in the frozen north, but this may be the winter feature of Gubei Water Town.
Passing through the Nantian Gate and strolling to Sima Xiaojiu Factory. Lanterns at the door used as a cover to sway in the cold wind. Wine jars were placed in the yard under the stairs. The wine was covered with red seals and set off against the snow on the ground, creating a unique beauty in winter.
There is a row of ancient wine bottles neatly arranged beside the window. When the heavy curtain is opened and walked into the house, the mellow aroma of wine comes to my nostrils. It turns out that the wine shelves are filled with small pottery wine jars.
In the winery, you can taste the soju of Gubei Water Town. It is all above 55 degrees Celsius. It is brewed from Sima Xiaoshao pure grain and fermented with sorghum and millet as the main raw materials. In Gubei Water Town, there are "Sanshao", which is soju, sesame cakes and meat. Only after tasting all Sanshao can you truly visit Gubei Water Town. Soju is one of them. You must try it.
If you try it and find it tastes good, you can buy a bottle of wine and go back and savor it. I also tried it out of curiosity, and it was really spicy, and the burning sensation went straight into my throat. We wanted to understand the making process of soju, so we went to the wine-making kiln and visited it. As soon as I walked into the wine cellar, I smelled the faint aroma of wine, and the air was filled with the mellow aroma of soju. All here are traditional equipment and tools for win-making. Under the introduction of the guide, you can imagine how the masters followed the original craftsmanship and how the distilled liquor flowed down.
After going out of the wine shop, I saw Yongshun Dyeing Factory after walking a few steps. Dyed fabrics are hung with bamboo poles on both sides of the yard of the dyeing workshop. This is a cloth drying yard. In the setting sun, the dyed cloth floated slowly by the breeze, as if it had traveled in an instant. Returning to the slow days of ancient times, I couldn't help but stare blankly in the yard.
I walked back and forth among these floral cloths. The floral cloths hung straight from the sky, and flowers were ready to come out. The tossed floral cloths danced in the wind, which seemed to take me into the rich folk culture.
There is also a museum in the dyeing workshop that you can visit to learn about the entire process of dyeing cloth. It turns out that dyes have so many colors. Through these simple color mixing and exquisite tie-dyeing skills, such brightly colored and beautifully patterned fabrics can be obtained.
Under the setting sun in winter, walking full of green bricks and slabs, in this workshop China full of memories of ancient times, I affectionately felt the simple and calm pace of life in Gubei Water Town under the Great Wall.
Everything in the fairy tale town under the Great Wall is decorated with a great atmosphere, and the door of the antique shoe store is decorated with Christmas decorations to be particularly romantic. The entrances of some small shops are decorated with Christmas trees. Under the winter sun, the whole person feels warm.
As I walked, I was attracted by a shop with many brightly colored goldfish on the outer wall. It turned out to be a kite shop. The kite shop is also decorated with Christmas elements. The Santa Claus hanging on the kite is very cute and the whole atmosphere is particularly romantic.
As soon as I entered, I was attracted by the colorful kites on the wall. Seeing that many people were concentrating on painting their kites, I couldn't help but experience it. Choose the biggest kite-the big goldfish, and watch me turn you into the brightest goldfish in the sky! Dip in the paired pigments heroically and apply freely.
The Christmas season in Gubei Water Town can be said to be rich in programs and a strong Christmas atmosphere. A Christmas theater was also specially prepared for everyone in Riyue Island Square.
The clown performed magic tricks for everyone, and the friends gathered in the Great Wall Fairy Towns. Although they came from all over the world, our hearts were connected. Everyone was so happy and the whole atmosphere was very lively. The clowns interacted with everyone and sent balloons to the children. The Christmas theme song sounded, and at this time, the beloved Santa Claus appeared in front of everyone dancing happily. Everyone rushed forward and couldn't help but take a photo with Santa Claus to celebrate this unique Christmas.
The sun set particularly early in winter, and it seemed to feel a bit of chill, so we went to the Cloud Cafe in the hilltop church to drink coffee to warm our bodies.
At this time, the Cloud Cafe already has a strong Christmas atmosphere, so find a corner to enjoy afternoon tea. The cafe is divided into indoor and outdoor parts. The indoor part is decorated in a Western-style style, sofa seats, and decorations are filled with a Christmas atmosphere. Bouquets are hung on the walls. There are three cute little Christmas snowmen on the wine cabinet. I couldn't help but go over and take a photo with them.
Even the decoration on the table is a little snowman. With a strong and cute Christmas atmosphere, I slowly enjoy the chocolate chestnut cake, as well as the store's exclusive signature cake-an agreement under the stars, and the colorful boxes seem to be cast with magic. Like stars shining.
Sip a small cup of hand-made coffee and enjoy your slow time. After taking a nap, night had already fallen, and I wanted to go out to the outdoor viewing terrace to enjoy the night view of Gubei Town. It is said that there is also a lighting ceremony, but I didn't expect to find small snowflakes floating outside as soon as I went out, the second snow in Beijing's winter!
When we arrived at the observation deck, the snow fell even harder, and the entire Gubei town was already covered with lanterns. I instantly felt that the trip was not in vain. It was really too romantic.
When I reluctantly left the cafe, it was already snowing heavily. The snow fell on the shining little elk outside the cafe door, the path covered with stone eggs, the goddess of love Cupid on the street lamp pole, and the church building opposite. I felt like I was in a small town in a fairy tale world.
As night fell, Riyue Island Square became more and more atmospheric. Snowflakes fell on the gate, and I excitedly welcomed the heavy snow.
The most attractive thing in the center of the square is a giant Christmas tree, which is covered with colorful lights. Rows of lights dot the entire town with stars, which is very romantic.
There are many Christmas decorations in the town. There are also decorations such as Santa Claus and gift elk next to the arch wreath, which instantly adds a lot of color to the town. I excitedly ran over to take a photo with Santa Claus. What a dreamy world.
The original stalls and shops in the square have also been replaced with Christmas costumes. The things sold also have a Christmas atmosphere. Girls like cute and girly little objects most.
Tents were set up in the center of the square. After the winter snow, the tents were covered with a thin layer of snow, and the Christmas decorations were covered with snowflakes, giving a strong Christmas atmosphere.
Gift boxes or doll bears and other decorations are warmly placed in the tent. There is also a warm space in the ice and snow. I couldn't help but go in and check in to take photos and use photos to freeze the warm moment.
How can we lack a Christmas meal at Christmas? Go into the warm Jianlou Steakhouse in Riyue Island Square and fill your stomach. The restaurant is also full of Christmas atmosphere, and we are looking forward to this long table Christmas banquet.
It feels really warm and happy to have everyone sitting around and eating Christmas dinner. The turkey with tender meat and the juicy and delicious steak sighed with satisfaction. It was really so happy.
Just as I was enjoying the delicious food, I suddenly noticed something shining in the night sky outside the window. On a closer look, it turned out to be a Kongming Lantern! Unexpectedly, another big surprise! couldn't help but open the window, and my eyes were filled with flying Kongming lanterns, not knowing where they were going.
It snowed heavily all night last night, and I was full of anticipation. What would the Great Wall look like after the snow? Take the cable car to climb the Simatai Great Wall while the snow melts.
It snowed heavily all night last night, and I was full of anticipation. What would the Great Wall look like after the snow? Take the cable car to climb the Simatai Great Wall while the snow melts.
The cable car slowly rises, and you can see the Great Wall standing on the mountainside from afar. From a distance, it stretches endlessly and no end can be seen. As the cable car got closer and closer to the Great Wall, my heart became even more excited. As a Chinese, I must climb the Great Wall once. I remembered that I had climbed the Great Wall several years ago, but I didn't expect that years would pass in the blink of an eye.
After getting off the cable car, you have to climb another mountain road to reach the Great Wall at the top of the mountain. Although the journey was short, it was also really cold. Fortunately, there were snow scenery all over the mountains and plains to enjoy, and there were also red wishing signs hanging beside the guardrails, which was also a fun thing.
After finally reaching the top, to be honest, the first thing I felt was still very cold! There were fewer obstacles on the mountain, and the strong wind was blowing, making me shiver.
Every step of the Great Wall is as high as knees. In such cold weather, climbing the Great Wall is really a test of one's perseverance. Not until he reaches the Great Wall is not a hero. With this will, I strive to move forward!
After the snow, the magnificent Great Wall was put on a new snow-white coat, as if the sense of history had been reduced a little and it had a more delicate look. My sense of accomplishment and joy were still full. There is no end to the Great Wall, and the snow on the roadside also accompanies it as it meanders upward.
At this moment, there are traces of snow on the Great Wall. The snow-white color blends with the already desolate ancient Great Wall. The snow is hidden in the gaps between the stone bricks of the Great Wall, depicting the shape of each stone brick. The original gray-brown Great Wall is no longer single, and the color of snow is the brush of nature, coating the Great Wall with a layer of winter gentleness.
On the mountain where the Great Wall is located, which was originally green in summer, only bare branches are left. Looking down from a high place, the Great Wall stretches across the mountains, and the hillside is dotted with black-gray branches and white snow. A picture.
Although the Great Wall in winter feels very bleak, it still has its momentum. It guards our country's territory day and night. Standing on the Great Wall, my heart is rolling with heroism. I think this ambition can only be felt after climbing the Great Wall. I can feel this way.
Every inch of where you stand, from every angle, every place is amazing. Any random stop on the Great Snow Wall and a casual photo will be a Vogue magazine blockbuster.
I heard that I would stay at the Thirteenth Sister Women's Theme Hot Spring Hotel tonight, so I felt a little happy that I could finally make private soup! The overall design of the hotel is very stylish. When you walk into the hotel, you can feel the charm of the Republic of China. The elegant front desk is filled with various books. The decorative cabinets of the restaurant are decorated with antique small decorations, and the walls are antique portraits of gentle women.
Walking into the guest room area on the second floor, I walked through the long corridor. The exquisite murals on both sides of the corridor stopped me. But my favorite thing is the portrait on the door number, which is probably the most beautiful door number I have ever seen. The portraits of ancient women on these exquisite paintings are subtle, vivid and charming, with ancient poems on the side, and you can feel the elegant atmosphere of the hotel everywhere.
The room has a lot of space, simple and ancient style, an area with a living room and a welcome card written, which is really heart-to-heart. There is a free capsule coffee maker in the room for a drink in your spare time.
The room can see the private soup pool outside through the glass window. What surprised me most was that it also has a steaming room, which is very fully equipped.
It is said that the hot springs in Gubei Water Town are also quite famous. Because the hot springs are rich in a large amount of iron element, the skin will not wrinkle even after being soaked for a long time. In such a cold winter, it would be so comfortable to soak in the hot spring.
In the small courtyard that comes with the room, you can comfortably soak in the winter night hot spring. The entire courtyard was steaming hot. Suddenly a petal floated onto the water. When I looked up, I saw plum blossoms in my eyes.
I leaned back on the edge and admired the stars. There were really many stars tonight. I picked up the hot tea on the side and drank it, and sighed comfortably. The moonlight was so beautiful tonight.
Eh... A shooting star just flashed! I heard that there would be a Gemini meteor shower tonight, but I didn't expect to see it! Wait a while, and I see several meteors streaking across the sky one after another. I quickly make a wish and let the meteor shower take my wish across the sky, and then come true!
Gubei Water Town has its beauty all year round. Although it is not as gentle as the Jiangnan Water Town, it has the pride of the north. Visiting Gubei Water Town in winter is more peaceful than in summer. If you enjoy the tranquility, Gubei Water Town in winter is perfect. Without the people coming and going of the past, you have a better chance to appreciate its beautiful and comfortable moments.
Moreover, this time it also meets the Christmas season in Gubei Water Town. The fairy tale town under the Great Wall is so romantic under the lights.
