Although I have tried countless travel methods, planes, high-speed trains, buses... and finally my favorite way of travel is still self-driving travel. I don’t have to rush to the airport or station, all I need to do is a navigation , freely go wherever I want to go. Whether it is sunny or raining, my car is like my mobile cabin, which brings me a sense of pride, belonging and intimacy. It is a happy thing to take it with me on a trip.
This time, I was honored to participate in the self-driving activity of Hongqi HS5 #标级山河点欢中国#, driving Hongqi HS5 all the way along Changchun-Shenyang-Qinhuangdao-Tianjin, starting from the Hongqi base camp in Changchun, and setting off with the car friends, speeding across the cities in Northeast China Between the mountains and the wild, I saw the perfect fusion and construction of modern technology and ancient charm in Shenyang. When I came to Qinhuangdao for the first time, I was curious and excited as if I picked up a small treasure town, and finally went to Jincheng, which is connected with retro and exotic customs.
All the way to the south but not to the south, but still able to cross the mountains and the sea, along the beautiful and vast landscape arc of the motherland, draw a beautiful "drift", just like the routes that the red flag took us, changing It became the most exciting part of my journey, and also the proudest part. One person, one car, four cities, told four short stories about me and Hongqi.
【Changchun】
The first stop, we naturally came to the headquarters of Hongqi - Changchun, where the first Hongqi car was born, and our team will also start from here. As the first SUV of the Hongqi brand, HS5 starts out with a sacred mission. It is an innovative revolution for domestic independent auto brands, and it also reveals the prosperity and strength of China's new industrial era.
This familiar yet unfamiliar brand - Hongqi, perhaps we will see this car with a unique red flag on the front of countless solemn occasions. It not only represents our nation, but also represents one of our beliefs with ideas.
The first anniversary of Hongqi HS5’s launch, I finally have the opportunity to travel with it. The spacious interior, comfortable seats, and panoramic sunroof are all high-end. At the same time, the configuration of HS5 is richer than I imagined, and the holographic electronic image is reversed. The system and the night view display screen support Bluetooth and other audio-visual entertainment, and the power we care most about also has excellent performance. The power is surging along the way, and it can control various road conditions.
This time, I also had an in-depth discussion and communication with the Hongqi Automobile Club in Changchun. Although I and them come from different provinces and different cities, it seems that we are both Hongqi Automobile Friends, and there seems to be no geographical distinction. Speaking of Hongqi cars, everyone seems to have found a common language.
The steering wheel feels very comfortable to hold, and the operation buttons on the steering wheel can also conveniently implement functions such as making and receiving calls, adjusting audio, volume, and cruise control when we are driving. The hands can hold the steering wheel firmly and drive safely. .
The five-gear adjustment is more intelligent, from economic mode to climbing mode to snow mode, adapting to various road conditions, making driving easier and more energy-efficient.
We walked all the way from the FAW General Factory to Changchun Sculpture Park. The sculpture park was much bigger than I imagined, and our Hongqi car was parked in the spacious park, which looked extraordinarily majestic.
The last time I came to Changchun was in winter. This time, Changchun in summer showed another kind of beauty, which also made up for the regret of not coming to the sculpture park last time.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, everyone drives a car and goes to the countryside. There is no busy city, no nine-to-five job, only a heart that has leisure, and lives according to the direction of the heart.
Riding horses, driving competitions, camping and having picnics with car friends,
It seems that after living in the city for a long time, these fun things that I liked to do when I was young have gradually faded away.
Here, it seems that the original memory has been recovered.
After dinner, it was still early, we were doing activities here together, and there were some eccentric bikers who wanted to try wild treasure hunting here, everyone had a great time, it was really pleasant.
【Shenyang】
Shenyang is one of the most important transportation hub cities in Northeast China. When you first arrive in Shenyang, you will feel the advanced sense of Shanghai in Northeast China, and here is an ancient historical and cultural city. , the title of the capital of two generations of emperors". Such an ancient and advanced city, with its development, is gradually unfolding before the eyes of countless people. .
I gathered in the Shenyang Hongqi store with my car friends early in the morning to explore this northeast city that is unfamiliar to me.
Starting at 9 o'clock, the mighty convoy departs from Shenyang Huiqitong Hongqi Store. The convoys are lined up and run on the road, which has also become a beautiful landscape in the city.
Ready to go, set off again in another city, saw many cars driving side by side,
But it seems that it has never been as spectacular as a whole row of Hongqi cars driving this time. I think this is one of the reasons why Hongqi cars are not replaced by other vehicles.
Landmark Shengjing Grand Theater
The landmark Shengjing Grand Theater gives people a sense of future technology beyond reality. This is also the first stop I arrived in Shenyang. If there is a Water Cube in Beijing, then there is an irregular cube in Shenyang, which is a diamond that reflects light during the day, and becomes a night pearl that emits light at night.
It is a work of art, and it deserves to become a palace of elegant art loved by the people and a light that lights up Shenyang's urban culture.
You may not even imagine how many world-class music performances have been held here, and a large number of excellent plays are staged in Shengjing Grand Theater every year. Over the past five years, "Riverdance", which is popular all over the world, and the original Broadway musical "Ghost Love", "The Bodyguard" and "An American in Paris" have entered Shenyang one after another;
The smooth lines of HS5 fit perfectly with the modern style of the grand theater. The front face, side view, no matter how you look at it, it is perfectly integrated with this Shengjing Grand Theater, which is completely natural.
Shenyang Dongling Park
I always compare Beijing with Shenyang. Shenyang Dongling Park is like a small Forbidden City. Shenyang’s rich history is deposited here, and car enthusiasts are also here to feel the cultural atmosphere of Shenyang. It is the mausoleum of Qing Taizu Nurhachi and Empress Xiaocigao Yehenara. From a distance overlooking Dongling Park, it seems that I am standing in Jingshan Park and looking at the Forbidden City not far away.
At the end of spring and early summer, the green trees here are already luxuriantly waiting for the most beautiful summer.
The stone lions on the stone pillars have spent many springs, summers, autumns and winters here.
The face of the mausoleum is adjacent to the Hun River and the back is Tianzhu Mountain. The terrain gradually rises from the front to the back. The water surrounds the mountains, the grass is deep and the forest is dense, and the scenery is very quiet. Although its layout is exactly the same as that of Zhaoling, but because it is built on a hillside that is high in the north and low in the south, it has two major characteristics. First, when Jin visited this mausoleum, one had to climb 108 stone steps from Zhenghongmen to Beilou. Second, the buildings undulate with the slope, appearing more patchwork, tall and majestic.
Walking into the Zhenghong Gate, there is a brick-paved pathway under your feet, and pairs of stone carvings are neatly arranged on both sides, including Chinese watches, camels, horses, lions, and tigers. Climbing up the "one hundred and eight steps" is a flat platform, with a double eaves Xieshan-style archway standing in the middle, and inside it stands the "Shengong Shengde Monument of Fuling of the Qing Dynasty". The inscription was written by Emperor Kangxi. It is to praise the merits of his great-grandfather in starting a business and founding a country. On both sides of the sign are the tea room, fruit room, and washing machine room for sacrificial offerings, all of which are built on corridor-style hard mountains with gray tile roofs.
The happiest thing in the Northeast is to eat and chat with the locals. People in the Northeast are always familiar with themselves. Just a meal, a roasted whole lamb, and a noon time, you can make friends.
The last stop in Shenyang was Qipanshan Scenic Area. The motorcade drove freely on the mountain roads, subtly showing the full power of the Hongqi car.
It is said that when you visit Qipan Mountain all year round, you can experience different scenery: green in spring, scenery in summer, maple in autumn, snow in winter...
Qipanshan is the remaining range of Changbai Mountain. At the entrance of the scenic spot, there is a statue of Tieguai Li and Lu Dongbin playing chess. Qipanshan got its name from this, and it also shows the rich heritage of Qipanshan's "chess and chess" culture to the world.
Adjacent to Fushun in the east and Tieling in the north, it is the largest natural scenic spot in Shenyang, with undulating mountains, winding valleys, lush forests, singing birds and fragrant flowers.
At the end of spring and early summer, the weather began to become sultry. A just right rain that extinguished the scorching heat also made the riders feel the coolness of Shenyang in summer, and the activities at Shenyang station were successfully concluded in the sound of rain.
Qinhuangdao
It has been half a year since I saw the sea last time, and Qinhuangdao once again reminded me of the taste of the sea. Driving on the road in Qinhuangdao makes me feel that the city is not in a hurry at all, you can take your life very slowly, just like a vacation.
The ones I read in the textbooks before, the place where Qin Shihuang asked for immortals, Shanhaiguan, from Laolongtou (the easternmost point of the Great Wall), I think this trip made me fulfill a lot of wishes when I was studying, and these are also with Hongqi HS5 Achieved.
The place where Qin Shihuang asked for immortals
The beautiful coast of the Bohai Sea, according to legend, was the place where Qin Shihuang once climbed to Jieshi to see the sea, and it was also the place where he "seeked immortals to enter the sea". Qinhuangdao is the only city named after an emperor in China. Under the long history of dust, these stories need to be explored together with this city.
And our HS5 also has a comfortable driving experience like a fairy sitting on a couch. The spacious front and rear space, leather seats, the original intention of the design is not only to make the cab comfortable and spacious, but also to have the comfort of a first-class cabin in the rear, so that both the driver and the passengers can have a super comfortable driving experience .
Shanhaiguan
Everyone has heard about Shanhaiguan. As the first pass at the eastern starting point of the Great Wall, it is the dividing line between the inside and outside of the pass, and it is also an important barrier for Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Because of its unique construction, it stands out among the many dangerous passes of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty and is known as "the unparalleled place for the lock and key of the two capitals, and the first pass of the Great Wall".
You may think that the ancient city wall of Shanhaiguan is different from what you imagined, because it has been repaired, but you can still feel the years that Shanhaiguan has experienced in the vast history from brick to tile, stone and wood. Vicissitudes, every scar on the bricks and stones here is the imprint left by history.
old faucet
Although the old dragon head is called the head, it is actually our last stop in Qinhuangdao. It is located on the shore of the Bohai Sea, 4 kilometers south of Shanhaiguan City, Hebei Province. It is the eastern part of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. Shicheng is like a dragon's head protruding into the sea, making waves and dancing waves, so it is called "Old Dragon Head".
The terrain of Laolongtou is high and steep, and there is a "Stone City into the Sea" built by Qi Jiguang, the commander-in-chief of Ji Town in the Ming Dynasty. The most famous building is Chenghai Building, which is known as "the Great Wall connects the sea to the sky, and people fly up to the top of the building".
And here, I also saw the long-lost ocean in my memory. I saw the irregular waves and kept beating on the beach. How long has it been since I have blown such a pure sea breeze and heard such a clean sound of waves?
I have been to many beaches, most of them are in the south, and this is the first time I have come to the north to see the sea.
Although they are all blue, you can still feel the different beaches and sea areas with different feelings.
Midsummer has not yet come, and the seaside is not so hot. ATVs, volleyball, sunbathing, everything you can think of related to the sea is here.
The sea lighthouse in Qinhuangdao, with its white paint and blue roof, and the discolored embankment piers washed by the waves, seem to have a summer spent in Okinawa that year.
Tianjin
My impression of Tianjin has always been the blend of retro and exotic styles. I am fortunate to visit Tianjin again this time with the Hongqi motorcade. We drove the Hongqi HS5 and shuttled through the streets and alleys of Tianjin, sometimes full of old houses full of life. , Sometimes it is a style avenue with western-style buildings facing the street. Tianjin, like Hongqi, has witnessed the changes of history, and it has been continuously precipitated in the long river of time, and then transformed into the most beautiful appearance.
The Tianjin Eye and the Century Clock seem to represent the past and present of Tianjin. The unprecedented design and historical sense of weight have added two touches of color to the history of Tianjin's landmarks. The last time I came to Tianjin, it was still very cold, and the Haihe River in front of me was frozen. Many local people were fishing and skating on the lake, and some people looked at the Tianjin Eye from a distance across the bridge, silently muttering: It’s so beautiful.
This time, the ice and snow melted, and the Haihe River became pure and beautiful. What remains unchanged are these two centuries-old buildings.
The Century Clock is also of great significance to Tianjin. It is a large-scale iconic city sculpture building built in Tianjin Station Square in order to welcome the new century. In front of the bridge, the bell ringing to welcome the new century. Surrounding the century clock is a large traffic disc, which has a design similar to a triumphal arch. Looking carefully at the surrounding environment of the century clock, there is a hint of the fusion beauty of western houses and modern buildings.
The special feature of Tianjin Eye is that it is the only Ferris wheel built on a bridge in the world. It is perfectly integrated with the bridge. The Ferris wheel operates independently and has both sightseeing and transportation functions. Every city with a Ferris wheel is romantic. Yes, Tianjin is no exception.
Next, we arrived at the Evergrande Hotel in Tianjin. We had also been to the Evergrande Hotel in Qidong before, and it continued its unique European style in Tianjin.
After coming to Evergrande, it seems that you have arrived in a brand new European world. The completely symmetrical European-style buildings, as well as countless European-style sculptures and fountains, make you feel as if you have fallen into an ancient European city.
Our Hongqi car occupies the entire square of the Evergrande Hotel. Here we watch the performance with the car friends, laugh and laugh together, discuss interesting things in this journey, and discuss the driving experience of HS5, the surging power , The comfortable driving experience has won unanimous praise from car fans.
I think, as long as the red flag is there, our car friends will always be there. We can also follow the wheels of the red flag to travel to every corner of the motherland. Made this rare friendship.
Driving the retro and advanced Hongqi HS5, shuttling through the street corners of Tianjin and Tianjin, has the same sense of tacit understanding. Tianjin, the impression of people is always looming, it seems to be very low-key, although everyone knows its name, but they don't remember or know "its character". Only when you come to Tianjin, eat pancakes, see Tianjin eyes, and listen to cross talk...you will know that there are so many stories and things about Tianjin. Even though there are countless concessions, each one has become a piece of history.
This trip is still full of meaning. I walked through the four cities with the Hongqi car, and experienced the stories and humanities of each city. Driving a Hongqi car that belongs to the world and belongs to the nation, the indescribable sense of pride is like the beautiful red arc on the front of the car. Line, proudly exists in everyone's heart.
