Summer is coming, where to go in Beijing to escape the heat?
Orange Seed recommends a good place to escape the heat and enjoy the cool in summer: Mentougou.
Go to the embrace of nature, stay away from the scorching heat of urban areas, relax your busy body and mind for a moment in the green mountains and green waters, and enjoy the cool summer. There are shaded valleys and deep pools, Mentougou under the clear water and blue sky, and the air is fresh and cool. Take advantage of the weekend to go and see it with Orange Seed~

Our first stop is Gushan Village, which has a long history and is located on the Yongding River Cultural Belt. Starting from Fucheng Road, it takes only half an hour to get there by taking the Jingla Line.
Gushan Village is only one step away from the Yongding River. There is a complete agricultural education experience base here, which shows the farming of different ages in China by category. Scarecrows, tractors, harvesters... The village has collected more than 100,000 pieces of farming equipment. The collection covers the entire Yongding River Basin farming development and farming culture change process, completely restoring the era of doing it yourself and having enough food and clothing. Let the children in the city feel the life of the village.
Orange Seed also discovered the tricycle he rode as a child, which is full of childhood memories. In the Children's Paradise, there are climbing ropes, trampolines, swings...all for children to play with, and when you go inside, there are peacocks, deer, horses, and bunnies waiting for you to feed...especially suitable for babies Moms come for a walk.
In the orchard here, there are Jingbai pears and wild wild jujubes, which are special products of Beijing. You can pick them off and eat them, but unfortunately they are not yet ripe. Compared with the baby walking places in shopping malls in the city, Chengzi prefers to go into nature, learn farming knowledge for children, pick melons and fruits together, experience intangible cultural heritage sugar paintings, kite and other handmade, and be able to share with dad A paradise for mothers to entertain, play and learn together.
There are more Internet celebrity elements suitable for contemporary aesthetics: modeling walls, chess lawns, Internet celebrity bird nest swings... Kakaka casual shooting, super production. For lunch, you can choose a granary banquet with local characteristics. I don't want to leave in the afternoon, there is also a camping canopy here. To escape the summer heat, stand on a high place, the air is fresh, and when you look around, the cool greenery spreads in front of your eyes.
Hike through the wild mountains and listen to the moving music of nature. After lunch, come to Shuanglong Gorge and feel the paradise of green mountains and green valleys. The vegetation here is extremely dense, there are mountains, forests, lakes, streams... ten miles of streams, hundreds of miles of waterfalls, people call it "Little Jiuzhai".
Take the little red train, wander in the green ocean, and step into the world of The Wizard of Oz. The gurgling sound of the stream in the mountain stream, the breeze blowing through the leaves. The chirping of insects and the singing of birds make people relax unconsciously.
After climbing the ninety-nine steps, you can lazily paralyze on the pedal boat and wander among the green mountains and green waters. In front of the lake is the mountain stream walking path, the road is gentle, and you can stop and go freely. About half an hour or so is the first waterfall, flying straight down into the pool
.
In addition to the natural beauty, the alpine grass skiing project at the entrance of the scenic spot is especially suitable for friends who like excitement. At the shooting range at the exit of the small train, you can experience air guns, and you will also meet a particularly enthusiastic and cheerful aunt. Passing through the shooting range is the children's paradise, with slides, water wheels, climbing, swings... there are too many items, children have fun playing, and lively and cute little figures can be seen everywhere.
Not far from Shuanglong Gorge is Cuanbai Scenic Area, where we stayed in Cuandixia Village. The village is built on the mountain, which is quite interesting.
From a bird's-eye view, the overall layout of the village looks like a "gourd" and an "ingot". The word "Cuan" is interpreted from the literal meaning: family, never separate Cuan, that is, never separate family. With a history of more than 400 years, it is now a national key cultural relic protection unit, with more than 500 rooms and more than 70 sets of courtyard houses from the Ming and Qing Dynasties preserved. There are ancient roads, ancient wells, ancient temples, and ancient theaters in the village... Friends who want to experience the ancient village style and century-old folk culture should not miss it.
The farm dishes here are cheap and affordable, and the key is the taste. Especially the tofu soup, I don't know how to make it, there is no fishy smell of tofu at all. And my favorite sweet and sour short ribs, super delicious!
Sleep until you wake up naturally the next day. After breakfast, you can walk on the plank road around the village in the morning light, overlooking the whole village, and feel the wonders of nature at Baiyu Yixiantian.
One mountain, one world, a hundred flowers and a hundred styles.
To be precise, Baihua Mountain is not a mountain, but a mountain range, belonging to the Yanshan Mountains. Due to its location, it is divided into Mentougou Baihua Mountain, Fangshan Baihua Mountain, Fangshan Baicaopan, and Yeshanpo Baicaopan.
The final goal of our trip is the Mentougou Baihua Mountain with a large alpine meadow on the top of the mountain.
Check in the diversity of animals and plants, and climb up the steps from the entrance of the scenic spot. Along the road, North China larch, arborvitae, aspen, quince, nasturtium, wild lily...distributed on both sides of the steps, strolling through the mountain trails, this place is completely different from the outside world, tall plants, shrubs, and trees block out the sun, A natural plant corridor is formed. The forest is lush and the negative oxygen ions are extremely high.
Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can enjoy all kinds of wild flowers blooming on the meadow. Both sides of the long plank road are covered with bright flowers of various colors, swaying in the wind, as beautiful as oil paintings.
The long summer days are long, and you can find coolness here.
Drive into Mentougou, where the grass is luxuriant and green, the flowers are swaying like a brocade, and the birds and cicadas are singing and wandering in the forest. The summer resort of the four treasures is within your reach. Bring your family this weekend, feel the fresh taste of nature, and indulge in leisure.
