Shilinxia has heard it many times and said it many times and never went there. It is a hundred miles away from Beijing. It is the core scenic spot of Huangsongyu Geopark in Pinggu District. Seeing that it’s another year’s autumn to go there again in a refreshing and moving way. In fact, I want to step on the UFO glass plank road that was erected on the top of the saw mountain, and turn the aerial pictures taken by the media into my own seeing is believing. Although the high temperature is still above 30°, it still drops a lot in the morning and evening. On the weekend of August 31, 2019, I went out at 6:30 in the morning. The family of three drove straight to Shilin Gorge. It was a refreshing day. It takes less than 2 hours to reach the destination, and the whole journey takes less time than expected. It is still the old saying that it is better to go out early.
Get off the expressway and circle around the mountain to enter the scenic spot. The ticket office is surrounded by a large parking lot in front of it. Unlike some scenic spots, you have to walk a tourist street outside the mountain gate to get to the ticket entrance. Maybe we arrived early. Not many, or maybe it’s because the summer vacation is over and the school is about to start, and the travel boom is over. I like this kind of not too much, not too little. The ticket is a set ticket booked on Ctrip the night before at 188 yuan per person, compared with on-site ticket sales: 68 yuan for tickets + 40 yuan for UFO tickets + 100 yuan for one-way cableway tickets, a total of 208 yuan per person, 20 yuan per person, there are two pick-ups next to the ticket room The self-service machine for electronic tickets is extremely simple to operate, and the printed tickets are colored tickets, which can be punched in three places with one ticket in hand.
Visiting Shilin Gorge is like an approximately equilateral triangle. With UFO, the highest peak at the top of Zhengbei Mountain, as the center, you can go up the mountain from east and west. There are cableways on the east and west sides, but they cannot go straight to the top of the mountain. Viewing platform, it should be said that the mountain is still relatively high, and it takes a certain amount of physical strength to climb to the top on foot. The cableway takes ten minutes to solve the journey and takes 90 minutes on foot, so it is better to use a cableway for at least one journey up and down. Choose according to your specific situation. The square in front of the scenic spot is a playground if you bring children. The scale is not very large, but there are people running on the ground, swimming in the water, and spinning in the sky in the facility. The entrance of Shilin Gorge is at the foot of the mountain in the east. It is not far to go in and go to the Ruyiyuan Cableway Station. If you take it up here, you will not be able to see many views and scenery in the mountain. It is recommended not to take it when you are just starting to enter. Shaking up the spirit, walk from east to west, and walk, watch and play.
In this way, the bottom edge of the triangle that basically spans from the east to the west, the steepness of the mountain is still under control, and the crystal clear streams and small waterfalls along the canyons are cool and pleasant. The geological landforms deposited in the past and the covered green Zhi came into view inadvertently. Speaking of which, the scenery in the mountains around Beijing is similar, but when the family comes out together, they feel more affectionate, and everything in front of them seems pleasant.
Thinking about seeing a UFO, I climbed over the ladder and explored the Longwangshan cableway station. I took a rest on the cableway and went to the top of the mountain. On the west side of the mountain, there is a big bell and corner pavilion. Visitors can hear the bell when they hit it frequently. On the east side of the mountain, there is a big drum and corner pavilion.
It is unique to think of the glass plank road as a UFO shape. After all, there are too many glass plank roads built next to the cliffs in scenic spots in various places. Put on the shoe covers and step on it. As long as you are not afraid of heights and have no challenges in mind, and people are not crowded, you can freely surround 360°. You can pose for photos as much as you want. The weather is fine and you can sit on the top of the mountain. The lake blue is refreshing, and sometimes it seems to be waiting for such a moment.
It’s almost 11 o’clock when going down the mountain from the east, almost all stone steps are steep in some places. If you can’t keep up with your physical strength, you can take the Ruyiyuan cableway down. The one-way trip on both sides of the cableway is 100 yuan per person. Rijinzhongtian walks in the sun and drinks water more than when it came up, so it is still necessary to reserve, otherwise, the ticket office of the UFO viewing platform indicates that a bottle of mineral water is 10 yuan, and there are not many kiosks along the way. The rich and the poor can't buy it. It was very cool to sit under the tree and the wind blowing through the mountain, talking and laughing, and just when the fatigue was about to come up, we arrived at the foot of the mountain, half a day was just right.
After driving out, my son recommended to go to Jinhai Lake, 10 kilometers away, to eat farmhouse specialty grilled fish. The restaurant near the lake has a picture of a pool to accompany the meal. You can lean on the car seat and take a nap contentedly, and let your son hold the steering wheel and return home.
