Autumn in Beijing is very short, and it has finally faded away from the heat of summer. The cold north wind has not yet arrived. There is only such a short period of time in between. The temperature is right, the sunshine is right, the leaves and flowers are right, and the color of the whole world is right.

On these days when everything was just right, my friends and I avoided the autumn crowd in the city park and drove to Shangyingshui Village, Fangshan District, where a B & B courtyard-the third space is located. Looking for autumn in the clouds.

Passing National Highway 108 along the way, the winding highway and colorful mountain groups made us forget the fatigue of driving.

Finding a safe parking spot to rest, the friends couldn't wait to take out their cameras and click, and the mood for vacation began to ignite at this moment.

An hour and a half later, we arrived at Shangyingshui Village.

The first time I saw this name on the road sign, I found it very poetic. Later, I learned that it had become a village in the Qing Dynasty. It was originally called water gushing, and later turned into Yingshui. Because it is located in the upper reaches, it was named Shangying River. It is a veritable ancient village.

The village is rich in coal resources, and over the years, the villagers have mainly made a living from coal mining and transportation. A few years ago, in order to protect the local ecological environment, the village committee responded to national policies and led the villagers to transform the mineral economy. After moving the villagers as a whole to Liangxiang, they vigorously developed the tourism industry in the village, transformed the farm houses into holiday B & Bs, and trained villagers to take up their posts. Service, revitalizing idle rural resources, but also solving the employment problem of villagers.

And this B & B industry is the third space Yunyinli.

Entering Shangying Water Village, you will see a blue sky that is more transparent than the urban area, as well as the colorful mountains in the distance.

"Cup of Coffee" is the check-in place.

The room was not ready yet, so we ordered freshly ground coffee to rest.

The coffee shop is decorated in a very stylish manner, and the sun shines on you through the high floor-to-ceiling glass windows, making it warm and comfortable.

Isn't it satisfying to sit on the sofa? So climb from the stairs outside the house to the roof terrace, sit here, drink coffee and bask in the sun, and lean on the railing to overlook the village mountains. Isn't it very fun?

The third space now has 12 courtyards with a total of 26 rooms, all of which are based on old houses in the village.

We stayed in Yunyinli No. 2 Courtyard.

The yard is huge, and the bedroom, kitchen, swimming pool, sand pits and rocking chairs are all available. You can really meet all the needs of a vacation without leaving your home.

The bedroom is very spacious, which is what I like.

The second hand of the clock ticked, but time seemed to become very slow.

There is a tea set on the soft couch by the window. A friend who knows tea art brewed me a pot of very fragrant tea, which has a sweet aftertaste. I think I should learn something that requires patience.

Finally, when we waited for lunch, we were already hungry and walked into the restaurant and smelled the aroma of food.

The small courtyard provides butler-style services. The butlers and aunts are all villagers here, warm and thoughtful, and each of them cooks authentic specialty farm dishes.

During our two days here, we ate hand-rolled fried noodles, spring pancakes, freshly ground soy milk, steamed corn, sweet potatoes, yams and various simple but delicious farmhouse stir-fried dishes. After every meal, I cover my bulging stomach before I remember: What about losing weight??

Since you eat too much, exercise!

There are three hiking trails near the small courtyard. The sun was warm in the afternoon, and we came to the Tianzhu Peak Climbing Trail and climbed up the steps.

Cotinus cotinus, maple trees, pine and cypress, ginkgo trees, thousands of branches in turn. At this moment, at this moment, here, we are surrounded by colorful colors all over the mountains and plains, and there are waves everywhere we can see.

It turns out that this is what the book describes as "the forest is completely dyed."

Back at the foot of the mountain, we haven't seemed to have pulled away from this beautiful scenery.

A light wind blew, and the leaves danced in the wind and fell rustled. I could pick up a few leaves on the ground with my friends and be high for a while.

Next to the B & B is the famous Zhenwu Temple.

This Taoist temple was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 500 years. The two halls in the temple are dedicated to Emperor Zhenwu and Yuanjun Bixia. The incense is very strong and is known as the "Little Wudang in the North".

While climbing the mountain, I heard the Taoist priest in the temple giving evening classes. For a layman like me, although I can't understand the content of curling scriptures, I feel at ease for some reason.

Walking into the Taoist temple, the Taoist priests in the hall were still kneeling and chanting scriptures. A breeze passes through the courtyard, wind chimes at the eaves and corners are gently swaying, and the ancient wooden beams and rubble seem to tell the story of history.

Back in the courtyard, I found that the housekeeper had set up tables and chairs in the courtyard. There were pumpkins and mask paint on the table. After my aunt reminded us, we remembered that today was Halloween. Wow, B & B is so thoughtful ~

Friends instantly transformed into babies and started handicrafts that they had not seen for many years.

I thought that such a child's matter was a piece of cake for us, but I realized a few minutes later that it didn't seem like it was... So in the following time, our rhythm became diss with each other...

There are still some people with ingenuity in the group, and the pumpkin lanterns are very beautiful ~

My hand-painted mask is too ugly to hold, so I used a friend's to take a photo, haha ~

Big photo of the final achievement exhibition ~

After dinner, we returned to the cafe again.

The staff had already set up a projection by the bar. We drank hot coffee, revisited classic movies, and had friends around us. This cold late autumn night became warm.

Sleep on the mountain and have no dreams all night.

The next day, after eating the delicious breakfast made by our aunt, we came to Yinhu Cave, which is about 5 minutes 'drive from the courtyard.

I ran into a few puppies and meows at the gate and chased us. They were so cute ~

Fangshan Shihua Cave has long been known to the world, and Yinhu Cave is also part of the Shihua Cave Scenic Area. It is named because there is a snow-white calcite crystal about 2 meters long in the cave that looks like a silver fox.

In the deep cave, everyone felt like walking into the tomb robbery notes.

Under the illumination of the lights, we are overwhelmed with various stalagmites, stone pillars, and stone towers. Through the explanation of the scenic spot tour guide, we identified carp, elephant, cottage, magic brush, Guanyin, waterfall...

I finally saw the legendary silver fox, which was completely white and transparent.

I took a small boat to visit the underground river, and the water was crystal clear.

With so many magical and majestic landscapes, nature is really amazing.

Time passed quickly like autumn in Beijing, and the two-day holiday passed by in a flash.

In the cloud hidden in the third space, this quiet courtyard located in the ancient village has seen the colorful autumn colors, heard the singing of birds, the aroma of coffee still seems to remain on the coat, and the rocking chair I sat in seems to be still in my heart. Shake gently in a corner.

Mr. Lao She once said in "Living Dreams":"You must live in Peiping in autumn. I don't know what heaven looks like. But judging from my life experience, autumn in Peiping is paradise."

So, so what if it is short? We have experienced the beauty here, just like heaven.
