Although spring in Beijing is fleeting, it is very charming. Don't you see the pear blossoms of the Forbidden City, the peach blossoms on the west embankment of the Summer Palace, and the cherry blossoms on the Yuyuantan bloom one after another. The sun gently sprinkles on the branches and shines into your heart. The warm and clean atmosphere will immediately inspire you to go out and have fun.

In order to avoid the crowded mode, I followed the footsteps of the famous "Train for Spring" and drove for an hour to the Yanqing Mountains. I wanted to climb the Shuiguan Great Wall to admire the flowers in the mountains and rivers and freeze the magnificent spring that belongs to the capital.

I can't say that the Great Wall is a hero. In my opinion, it is important to choose the right season to climb the Great Wall with a sense of ceremony. The scenery of the Great Wall is picturesque all year round, and spring is the most romantic. This time I stayed at Hyatt Regency to choose. The commune at the foot of the Great Wall adds a brighter feeling and makes spring in Beijing no longer seem so short.

Xiang·Zen Bamboo House

Before coming to Yanqing, I happened to revisit the movie "Zhiming and Chunjiao". That year, Zhiming and Chunjiao met again in Beijing, and the two went to a bamboo house in the suburbs of Beijing for a secret meeting. Zhiming sat silently on the tatami and waited, while Chunjiao lingered in the maze-like passage, feeling close to each other.

I was deeply impressed by this unforgettable scene. The mottled bamboo shadows, the bamboo doors were pushed back and forth, and people hid in them, telling people's feelings and stories. When we really arrived at the bamboo house of the commune at the foot of the Great Wall, the scene was more dreamy and Zen than in the movie. The peach red willows were green and the spring was yellow against the bamboo house. Isn't this "there is a family deep in Taoyuan"?

If you know that the designer of the bamboo house is Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, you can understand the Zen beauty of dry landscape art. This aesthetics, which was born out of ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting, can create a picture of mountains and rivers with bamboo, stones, light and shadow, even if there is no water or pool. It is vaguely majestic and silent. What's more, the chirping sound of birds and the lingering petals in front of the door are so real and beautiful.

Walking through the bamboo forest "path" and entering the room, the room is also full of Zen. The sun outside the window shines brightly on the room, and the bamboo elements and woodwork in the window soothe the tired hearts of travelers in a timely manner. I like to sit quietly in front of the window and watch the mountain scenery. I can casually grab a pot of green tea or a portion of fruit, and I can see swarms of little squirrels jumping over. That's all the time.

View·Art Architecture

Guarding the tranquil valley, the commune at the foot of the Great Wall naturally does not stick to a single type of house type of bamboo house. There are also 36 villas of different styles, such as red house, datongpu, and forest hut. Each building has its own unique design theme. Integrate mountain atmosphere with art. Although I had boldly conceived the design style in my mind, I was still amazed when I went inside and observed it.

The old appearance is as simple as an old man in the mountains. Entering it, the staggered ladders cleverly separate the inner and outer spaces, giving a wonderful feeling of traveling through time and space. The sun projected a figure on the red wall, and the Internet celebrity check-in place was born. No matter how much it took, it couldn't be enough.

Outside the room's huge floor-to-ceiling windows are green mountain views, and the open space on the top floor terrace is even more refreshing. A close view of the distant mountains and green everywhere. No matter which direction you look from, you will be full of spring. Here, you don't have to worry about being disturbed, you can be in a daze, enjoy the scenery, and enjoy the quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

In addition to the industrial style, there are also warm Macaron-style buildings. The wooden design full of forest is charming in itself, and the careful details also reveal warmth. The simple chandeliers, glass escalators, and ethnic paintings make people feel comfortable looking at it.

Taste·Spring Delicious

The delicious food from the commune at the foot of the Great Wall also unexpectedly teased my taste buds. The commune kitchen restaurant basically uses local ingredients from Yanqing, mainly with northern specialties. Compared with traditional northern dishes, it adds a lot of creativity, is healthy, light and simple in taste. Eating spring vegetables in spring, how can you easily miss it?

Garlic chrysanthemum with Spanish ham, Malanmi skin sturgeon seed sauce, onion scented Chinese toon fresh walnuts, stir-fried spinach... It tastes super greasy and carries forward the original flavor of seasonal ingredients to the extreme. Take a bite of the Malanmi leather bag sturgeon roe sauce. The waxy taste reveals the freshness of Malan's head, and the freshness of the roe sauce explodes in the mouth.

Yanqing's reservoir fish have always been famous for their tender and smooth meat. The chef chose a larger fish head and stewed it with bell peppers and chives. The tenderness of the fish was immediately stimulated. What's more amazing is that when freshly fried dough sticks are mixed into the fish soup, the strong aroma is really great.

Have another glass of white wine from Helan Mountain in Ningxia, so that on the night of the mountains, everyone will be intoxicated if the wine is not drunk.

Climb the Shuiguan Great Wall

After counting, it was still primary school since the last time I climbed the Great Wall, and the memory of climbing the Great Wall gradually blurred, leaving only the picture of "everyone and everyone". The Shuiguan Great Wall is not famous among the Great Wall attractions open to the Beijing area. It belongs to the eastern section of the Badaling Great Wall and is located in the middle of Guangou. It can be reached more than 20 minutes 'walk from the commune at the foot of the Great Wall. Since there are fewer tourists, they can enjoy the tranquility of climbing the Great Wall.

Today, the Shuiguan Great Wall has eight watchtowers and one arrow tower open to the public. Three in the east and five in the west. It is crawling in the valleys like a dragon and is famous for its steepness. After entering from the ticket office, I looked up and saw steps rising steeply, almost perpendicular to the ground, inserted into the clouds like a ladder. Just looking at it was shocking.

It was difficult to stumble step by step to reach the first watchtower, and his body was already sweating. Standing on the lookout tower and overlooking, I couldn't help but recite,"Look inside and outside the Great Wall, but I am still in the wilderness." Thinking about the scene of the golden sword and iron horse in the past, I felt a powerful feeling spontaneously. At the same time, it is green, luxuriant, and thick. The combination of multiple beauties allows the Shuiguan Great Wall to fly freely among the spring-filled mountains.

At this moment, I just want to stay here all the time. The unique commune at the foot of the Great Wall, the landscape of the Great Wall stretching thousands of miles and the beautiful scenery of the lush mountains are intertwined to form my own weekend time.
