Qixi Land in Huadu: Hundreds of millions of 400 species of fragrant plants, and eight kilometers of fragrant land has lasted for thousands of years.

One day, on the tour bus to Conghua, I heard a certain group member say that there is a beautiful Qixi land in Huadu, but I have to make an appointment in advance. I finally found this place online.

The introduction of the scenic spot is like this: Qixidi-China's first natural and aromatic resort. 8 square kilometers of fragrant scenery in the world; the most fragrant place in the world, the unique fragrant kingdom, with hundreds of millions of wild aromatic plants; the long-standing fragrant ancient garden, which has been fragrant for thousands of years; the natural Shili Beach, Wili Waterfalls, canyons, streams, bamboo seas, terraces, lakes, ancient trees, strange stones... satisfy all our yearning for nature!

Qixidi is a land of fragrance that has been left behind in the world. There are nearly 400 species of native aromatic plants, with hundreds of millions of plants, and nearly 100 natural native aromatic communities (sandalwood area, ruta area, puxiang area, Jiangzhenxiang area, Renxiang area, pepper area, fragrant area, mushroom area, cornwood area, Tianxiang area, etc.). At all seasons, flowers are fragrant, grass is fragrant everywhere, and forests are fragrant.

It was this sentence,"The most fragrant place in the world, the unique fragrant kingdom" that seduced my soul.

On March 14, the journey of seeking fragrance began.

Don't believe the saying "one hour's drive from Guangzhou". This sentence is both true and false. One hour means arriving at the sign on the roadside that says "Seven Xidi, Habitat of Fragrance in the World". To truly reach the scenic spot, there are still 10 kilometers of mountain roads, with lush mountains on both sides. Navigation constantly reminds you that there is a curved mountain road in front, so drive carefully; There was a landslide area ahead. Driving carefully. It was during this prompt sound that the car made seven twists and turns on the long mountain road. It was heart-warming and uneasy. Half an hour later, it finally reached the entrance of the scenic spot.

I took out my mobile phone and showed the QR code for booking the ticket. The staff said that I had bought the wrong ticket. The 68 yuan ticket was a discount ticket for the elderly, children, and military. I didn't notice this when I booked, just picked the cheapest one. Pay (there are four types of fares of 68, 98, 138, and 198, which is really expensive). The staff told me that I could refund the ticket and rebuy it, push the ticket on the public account, and it would be received immediately. The handsome boy quickly purchased the tickets on his mobile phone, and the two tickets cost 198 yuan.

The routine showing of health codes and temperature measurement was finally allowed, allowing us to go to the front for a cup of tea.

When the car arrives at the "homing", it is actually a tourist service center. It feels like a bird cage building. I wonder if it means taking tired birds back to their nests.

A little beautiful woman (staff member) who spoke Mandarin handed me a cup of tea. The tea was black, which tasted completely different from black tea and green tea Pu 'er. It was a bit oddly sweet. She told me that it was Huangqi tea, a kind of fragrant tea. It removes dampness and beautifying skin, and is sweet. A cup of tea allows you to start a journey of aroma.

The little beauty pointed to the map of the scenic area and said: You first go to the tea house in front to make incense sachets. It starts at 11 o'clock, and then take the hiking route on the left. It takes an hour and a half to two hours to go back and forth. Don't walk when you get here. It's very difficult to walk on that road, so you can drive to visit the route on the right after you come back on foot.

Then she asked me to add her WeChat account (Qixidi housekeeper-Suxin, whose name is very nice, as if she smelled the fragrance of flowers) and said that there was no signal in the mountains. I asked: "Doesn't your public account say free WiFi and free parking in the scenic area?"

She said: There is only this section of WiFi, not in the mountains.

She sent me a map of the scenic spot and walking arrow diagram on WeChat, and told me to micro-manage if I had any questions. At that time, I thought, if there is no signal in the mountains, what is the use of micro-housekeeping?

We went to the tea house, a simple room for making sachets, and experienced sachets making.

There are bottles, cans and cans on the simple long table, and a handsome guy (here called a fragrance master) is explaining. Under the guidance of the fragrance master, you can identify the efficacy and characteristics of various fragrance materials, understand the wonderful traditional fragrance making methods, and make your own exclusive fragrance sachet. Master Xiang said that this spice is to soothe the nerves, and that one is to relieve cough, warm the stomach, etc. Anyway, I forgot while he said it. When I make my own fragrance sachet, I pick up the bottle containing the spice (which has been ground into powder), no matter what the effect is, scoop up some of it if it tastes good.(All spices add up to 30 grams), put them into a small measuring cup, then put them into a small white gauze bag, and then put them into the powder, blue, or gray sachet of your choice, tighten the mouth of the bag, and string it. The sachet is finished.

By noon, I thought of walking for an hour or two and decided to solve my stomach problem first.

When you come to Taoxiang Restaurant, it should be the only restaurant in the scenic area. The environment is very elegant, with colorful pictures of various herbs and spices posted on the walls, and the tables and chairs are all made of wood, which feels very original. For Xianghua Mountain, Taoxiang Hall takes aroma as the core, and uses wild aromatic ingredients from Qixi to be eaten and cooked according to the seasons. All seasonal fragrant flowers, melons, vegetables, rice and other ingredients are produced in the scenic area, irrigated by natural mountain spring water, and soaked all year round. In the fresh air of the fragrant grass and fragrant forest, only the best seasons are picked and carefully matched to form the most suitable solar term health care dishes.

I ordered two dishes and a bowl of rice: steamed eggplant with basil and garlic, boiled beef with ruta tomato, and Qixidi aromatic rice.

Before serving the food, pat the surrounding area. The water flows long and the boat docked on the shore, and several peach blossoms are in full bloom.

Both dishes are produced well, have a very special taste and have a unique aroma.

Perilla is very familiar to people in Guangzhou, and it is first-class to stir-fry river snails; boiled beef with tomatoes is also a home-cooked dish, but because of the addition of rue into the dish, it has a special aroma. Perennial herb of the genus Ruta having upright stems, pinnately divided leaves, oblong lobes, yellow flowers, and capsules. The whole grass has aroma and can be used as medicine. This was the first time I tasted Rue when it was put into vegetables. It stimulated infinite possibilities on the tip of my tongue. It was full of color, aroma, and appetite.

There are no crowded queues here. The original residents have been moved out since the 1960s. There is no chemical fertilizers, pesticides and industrial pollution. There is no noisy and noisy environment. It is said that an appointment is required, but you can go at any time as long as you have time., you can quietly enjoy the 8 square kilometers of fragrant scenery in the world. This may be the lowest density habitat, the isolated island in the center of the lake, Shili Beach, Wili Waterfall, Qili Canyon, hundreds of streams, hundreds of acres of lakes, thousands of terraces, thousands of acres of bamboo seas, Vanilla in the secluded valley, fragrant forest in the secret realm. The wind is slow, the sun is late, and one morning the sparse shadow door of the forest is busy.

There are only a few peach blossoms in bloom on Peach Blossom Island, and there are many rapeseed flowers at the foot of the mountain. Unfortunately, they are sparse and monotonous in color.

There are too many spice plants in Qixidi that most people can't recognize the names of the plants. However, basically every plant in Baixiang Garden is marked with a name, making it a popular science botanical garden.

This is the first time I have seen so many spice plants, and I feel like Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden.

It turns out that the raw material of LMZ toothpaste really has needles (thorns) on both sides of the leaves. The raw material of Caoshanhu tablets is called Caoshanhu. The reason why Fortune Tree is called Fortune Tree is because the leaves have grown into the shape of a palm, and I even saw a plant that looks like a golden retriever...

If you want to see every plant, you will probably have to stay here for a while.

I thought Guangzhou was full of flowers and flowers all year round, so it was called the Flower City. Since the Han Dynasty, Guangzhou people have formed the habit of growing, appreciating, loving and protecting flowers. The name "Flower City" has lasted for more than 1700 years and has never been replaced by other cities.

Today, I learned that Guangzhou is called a flower city because of the jasmine flowers.

During the Southern Han Dynasty, there was a girl named Suxin in Haizhu District, Guangzhou. The girl Suxin liked a kind of flower called "Yeximing" very much. After the Southern Han Emperor ascended the throne, he recruited 3,000 beautiful women from all over the world, and Miss Suxin was also recruited into the palace. The emperor liked her very much and planted yeximing all over the harem. Every morning, the palace ladies get up and wash up, and Ye Ximing flows downstream with the waves. This is the origin of Guangzhou's "Liuhua Lake". At this time, Guangzhou becomes a "flower city".

When each plant is given a beautiful story, the plants have a deeper soul and the significance of viewing has also changed a lot. This is also the fun of ornamental plants.

Everything you see is done with your feet. It is recommended that older people and those with poor legs and feet should never take this route.

We walked on the Xiangpu Ancient Plank Road, which is said to have cost tens of millions of dollars to restore.

We walked for almost two hours, and there were mountains all around us, just the two of us. I thought that only Conghua had more mountains in Guangzhou, but I didn't expect that the mountains in Huadu were so big and numerous, and the eyes were full of green. The mountains were full of trees. There are almost no directional guide signs on the mountain roads. There are stone ladders for those with good road conditions, but there are mostly stone roads and mud roads. There are also colorful fallen leaves on the mud roads, which are not full of poetry, but will slip.

Listen attentively, the flowing water is gurgling, and hundreds of streams are flowing slowly among the mountains. In the Wuli Waterfalls, we gradually heard the gurgling sound of water flowing out between the two peaks. The water is clear and clear. Then the cliffs are on the cliffs, the rapids are sharp, and the waves are rushing. Unfortunately, it was not the wet season, and the waterfalls became trickles rushing down, including stone waterfalls, Youlong Waterfalls, imperial concubine ponds, etc.

The air in the mountains is very good. "Zhenyuan Medicine", a masterpiece of health medicine, points out that ozone, negative ions, and Fendojing are the three treasures of the air.

The content of anions in the air of Qixidi is as high as 6000/cm³, which is higher than the World Health Organization's Fresh Air Standard 4. Hundreds of millions of aromatic plants exude rich essence and are immersed in the scene. Every breath is refreshed, and you can enjoy natural aromatherapy 24 hours a day.

This scene is like really living in a "paradise"!

Climbing to the last scenic spot, there is a sign that says "Jiuzhong Mountains". The sign says: "When you swing your chest, you will grow clouds, and you will climb to the top and see the mountains." At first, there are one, two, and three mountains in front of you. You can get rid of visual limitations and look far into the distance. Then you can see the nine mountains, full of mountains and valleys, and the vast green. The layers stretch, and the clouds and mist are ethereal.

Life depends on mountains three times: to see mountains are mountains, to see mountains are not mountains, to see mountains are still mountains, to see mountains are the whole life. Only here, I look at the rising clouds in the mountains and track the birds returning at night and hide into the mountains and forests, cleansing my soul.

I really couldn't walk anymore, so I told the little handsome guy, life is going to see the mountains three times. What realm have you reached?

My question aroused the curiosity of the little handsome guy, so he decided to go to Jiuzhong Mountain to have a look.

I stood by the sign and waited for him.

After a long time, there was no movement at all. I thought the scenery above was very good and I could see the three realms of life. After waiting for a while, the little handsome guy came down and told me the fact that I was afraid of: I couldn't find my way down. You didn't listen to WeChat voice, but I didn't respond when I asked you to send a location, and you didn't answer the phone.

When the handsome boy stood in front of me, my mobile phone rang because it was finally easy to get a signal on the mountain, but the signal was slow.

As a result, the little handsome boy said,"I climbed up on the ground with my hands and feet like a dog. There was no way, and later I couldn't find the way. I was still shouting for you from above, but you didn't hear me." I really didn't hear any movement at all. How far have we been? It's terrible! Fortunately, there was no danger!

Returning back the same way, I still saw mountain views, stones, and bamboo forests. Because it was the dry season, I couldn't see the beautiful scenery of flowing clear springs and stones. However, the sound of flowing water kept echoing in my ears, and I saw peach blossoms again.

I can't drag my legs anymore...

Driving on another route, I found that there was a vast mountain. I occasionally saw a small boat moored in the lakes and mountains. It tasted like a red boat on South Lake in Jiaxing. I got off the bus and took several pictures, which was probably the most artistic scene.

Two pictures to thank the handsome guy

The next day, my back and legs were sore and painful, and even my arms were sore. I couldn't tell you how tired I was. This was the danger of liking homesteading.

A one-day journey to find fragrance will gather the vast fragrance of nature into the sachet, smell the fragrance in the nose, smell the fragrance in the teeth, and stir up the cultural waves of thousands of autumn fragrance in the brain. Good or bad, good or bad, good or evil, see whether it is "fragrant" or "not fragrant". Fragrance is a mirror that illuminates the world!
