With the advanced, modern and excellent facilities in Zhangjiakou, one of the sub-venues of the "2022 Beijing Winter Olympics" and the ongoing Winter Olympics in full swing, the Ice and Snow World in Chongli, Zhangjiakou is becoming more and more popular. The attention of spectators at the Winter Olympics has attracted worldwide attention.
In fact, the Zhangjiakou area in Hebei Province, known as the back garden of Beijing, has rich and colorful tourism resources. It is not only favored by ice and snow lovers because of its unique ice and snow world in winter; it is also an excellent summer resort in summer. People flocked. The reporter once had the experience of visiting five counties in Zhangjiakou area in summer.
That was from July 1st to 3rd, 2011. At the invitation of the Zhangjiakou Tourism Bureau of Hebei Province, reporters from hundreds of news media in Beijing conducted a 2011 visit to Zhangbei, Guyuan, Chongli, Zhuo Lu, Huailai and other five counties held a three-day wind-collecting activity. Wherever he went, he left a deep and beautiful impression on people.
Zhongdu Primitive Grassland Resort, located in Zhangbei County, Zhangjiakou Prefecture, was the first place the journalists came to. Here is the closest and best-preserved primitive grassland to Beijing, with a total area of 30,000 mu, which can be said to be endless. The tallest part of the grass can reach the waist, so that the reporters saw the real scene of the wind blowing the grass and seeing the cattle and sheep.
The press group came to the Zhongdu Grassland Resort, and before gaining a firm foothold, they came to the statue of Genghis Khan under the enthusiastic guidance of relevant local leaders, where the grand and enthusiastic dismounting ceremony was held. The reporters took the wine bowls held by the Mongolian girls, first dipped their right ring fingers in the wine to pay respects to heaven and earth, then expressed their blessings to each other, and finally held up the wine bowls and drank it all in one gulp. Then the girls presented the pure white hada to the reporters who came from afar, and invited them to taste Mongolian specialties such as milk tea and cheese.
The welcome luncheon is held in Qingshu Hall, the largest yurt in the resort. The wonderful Mongolian folk song and dance performances delighted the reporters. During the banquet, in the warm atmosphere of singing and dancing on the stage, with the roasting whole sheep ceremony held with the highest etiquette of the Mongolian welcome guests, the atmosphere of the scene was pushed to the climax. Qiao Dengfeng, director of the bureau, and the representatives of the reporters personally went to the stage to cut the ribbon, and then plates of delicious roasted whole lamb were brought to the tables of the reporters.
After lunch, the reporters took a special battery car for the scenic spot to start the tour of the original grassland. On the way, the reporters boarded the grassland elevated observation deck and looked around, and the beautiful scenery of the original grassland had a panoramic view. Then came to an Aobao in the scenic spot. In fact, Aobao is not used for meeting in the grasslands, it is a sign of roads and realms piled up with stones on the vast grasslands, and later gradually evolved into a symbol of offering sacrifices to mountain gods, road gods, and praying for a good harvest and family happiness and safety. Suddenly there was the sound of an airplane engine in the air. Looking up, it turned out that a powered glider was flying overhead. This is one of the many amusement projects in the scenic area.
In addition, there are also entertainment items for tourists such as horse riding, archery, horse-drawn carts, and sheep-drawn carts. The night on the prairie is boiling. The bonfire in the central square was lit, the motouqin was played crisply, people danced to the high-pitched singing, and the long tune on the grassland echoed in the night sky.
Leaving the original grassland, the press team drove to the Zhang Beiyuan Zhongdu Museum, which was completed only a year ago. It is said: a Yuanzhong capital, half of the history of the Yuan Dynasty. And this is only after visiting the museum, people can really understand the meaning. The Yuanzhongdu site is located 15 kilometers northwest of Zhangbei County. It is by far the best preserved Yuan Dynasty capital site in China, with a relatively single era and the least damage in the later period. The Yuan Dynasty only existed for more than a hundred years, but four capitals were built successively, namely Harazi (in the present-day Mongolia), Yuanshangdu (Zhenglan Banner of Inner Mongolia), Yuandadu Beijing and Yuanzhongdu. Yuanzhong was built by Yuan Wuzong Haishan in 1307, but Haishan died of illness in 1311, and the enthroned Renzong, who was Haishan's younger brother, ordered to stop the construction of Zhongdu. Therefore, Yuanzhongdu actually existed as a capital for only four years, and it was called "the short-lived Yuanzhongdu". More than forty years later, Zhu Yuanzhang revolted and burned Yuanzhong to ruins.
The structural design of the Yuan Zhongdu Museum is modeled on the Yuan Zhongdu’s system. It consists of three floors: the Kuocheng City, the Imperial City, and the Miyagi City, and incorporates the remaining caves and fragments of the Zhongdu site into the building. The whole building is actually magnificent and dignified, like a small city rammed on the ground. The museum integrates the three major functions of "cultural relics protection, archaeological research, and display". In the exhibition hall, there are restoration models of main buildings such as the central hall of Yuanzhong Capital, and more than 500 important cultural relics and auxiliary exhibits of the Yuan Dynasty, including Chishou and Liuliu Magic Square. In addition, it also systematically displays and introduces the history, culture and art of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties. The journalists benefited a lot from visiting the Yuanzhongdu Museum.
After visiting the original grasslands of Zhangbei County and the Yuanzhongdu Museum, the reporter group came to Wuhua Meadow Scenic Area of Guyuan County on Zhangjiakou Dam. The streaky meadow is like a natural scenery gifted by gods. The endless flower fields here are the biggest attraction. Due to the low temperature on the Zhangjiakou dam, the flowering period of plants will also be delayed. Therefore, the golden rapeseed flowers and the purple flax flowers, all with simple pink makeup, give passers-by the most sufficient reasons to stay and appreciate them.
The reporter came here in the middle and late July of 2010, when the nasturtiums were in full bloom, but this time, although it was only half a month earlier, it was not as good as the sea of nasturtiums seen last year. But clusters and clusters of golden nasturtiums can still be clearly seen in the large green grass. Nasturtium is named for its leaf-like bowl lotus and golden-yellow flowers. When it is in full bloom, it looks like a group of butterflies flying, and it is so beautiful.
There are many kinds of plants in the five-flowered meadow. At different times, different flowers color the meadow. In May and June, it is the pink color of the small flower Yumei; in midsummer, June to August, it is the time when nasturtium, yellow flower, thyme, etc. are in full bloom; in autumn, it is the crimson purple mother-in-law flower. In July, a sea of nasturtiums, dotted with small white and purple flowers, is half magnificent and half stunning. No matter from a distance or in detail, it is perfect and exquisite. The winding plank road and several pavilions decorate the gorgeous flower fields in an elegant and simple way.
Leaving Wuhua Meadow, the press team came to Gushui Fuyuan Resort, which is located in the northeast of Saibei Prairie in Guyuan County. The Mongolian girls and boys who had been waiting here at the gate of the resort once again held a welcome ceremony to present fine wine and hada for the reporters. There are more than 100,000 mu of grassland around the resort, and the source of the Luan River is gathered in the Lightning River Reservoir of more than 10,000 mu. She is like a bright rare pearl inlaid on the emerald grassland. Sichuan Hundreds of Flowers Compete for Beauty".
Overgrown with flowers and plants, vast lakes, rugged and winding Tanshan Mountains, endless primitive grasslands, horses, cattle and sheep, hearing bursts of camel bells, it is these natural and unique infinitely beautiful scenery that attracts people who come here to escape, spend summer, hunt, Sightseeing emperors and generals of all dynasties, there are complete remains of Xiao Yinzong's dressing building (Xiaohouliangdian) and a large number of ruins of the Liao, Jin, and Yuan emperors' palaces in the scenic area, with a rich accumulation of ancient culture.
After dinner, the reporters came to the shore of Lightning Lake in the resort, watching the sparkling blue waves in the sunset, enjoying the lake water thicker than grape wine, just like being in Penglai, in a paradise and wonderland. As night fell, the resort held a grand bonfire party for the press corps. Reporters, Mongolian girls and boys sang and danced around the bonfire, and the joy was beyond words.
The press corps stayed at the Swan Lake Resort that night. Swan Lake Tourist Resort is located at the northernmost tip of Hebei Province, two kilometers north of Guyuan County, on the bank of Huannao Lake. This is the hinterland of the Inner Mongolia prairie. It is a natural freshwater lake surrounded by green mountains. The lake is rippling with blue waves. Swans, gray cranes, wild ducks and various water birds inhabit here, so it is named "Swan Lake Resort".
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight entered the room where the reporter was staying. The reporter looked at the time subconsciously. It was only 4:30. He immediately got up and walked to the window to look out. Suddenly, a dreamy morning glow far away in the sky seemed like a wonderful picture. The reporter was amazed by the oil painting, and the reporter quickly took out the camera to record the morning glow of Swan Lake.
Since it was already late at night when I came here last night, the beauty of Swan Lake did not show the true face of Mount Lu until the next morning. Swan Resort covers an area of 25.8 square kilometers, of which the lake surface is 9.5 square kilometers, with a water storage capacity of 38 million cubic meters. The center of Nao is 1375 meters above sea level. The lake is surrounded by low hillocks reclaimed as farmland and vast green grasslands. Just like a picture of two dragons playing with a pearl, the flying colors dance, which means the dragon soars and the pearl rolls. Here blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and clear water, green grass, birds and animals. Coupled with the quiet environment and fresh air, it has attracted many tourists from home and abroad to spend summer and go sightseeing.
On July 2, 2011, the journalist group left Swan Lake in Guyuan, where they were staying, and went to Chongli County to continue gathering. In Chongli County, the reporters visited Changchengling Natural Scenic Area. This is a ski resort in winter, and the natural scenery of the forest in the summer scenic spot is even more beautiful.
Chongli, Zhangjiakou, Hebei has a forest area of more than 1 million mu. Although it is not as good as Huashan, Taishan, Emei or Songyue, it can enjoy flowers in spring, escape the heat in summer, view scenery in autumn and ski in winter. It is pleasing to the eye all year round beautiful view. In particular, the majestic and beautiful Great Wall Ridge is inlaid in the deep mountains of Chongli like a jade belt, like a silent girl shyly looking forward to the arrival of tourists.
When the reporters boarded the alpine meadow of Changchengling at an altitude of 2,100 meters, they found that what greeted people's eyes was like a carpet of blooming flowers, and a sense of deep comfort was refreshing people's hearts. Looking from a distance, the continuous mountains rise and fall one after another, which is very spectacular; listening closely, the pine waves, birch forests, and birdsong complement each other, like a beautiful forest symphony. On the top of the mountain, there is also the ruins of the Ming Great Wall, which seems to tell a long and vicissitudes of history here.
The maximum temperature in summer in Changcheng Ridge does not exceed 25°C. This unique microclimate is suitable for summer training and summer escape. The national track and field training base is built in the Changchengling Scenic Area. It is far away from the downtown area, without pollution and noise. The oxygen content and negative ion content in the air are extremely high. Intensive training is very helpful for improving performance, recovering physical strength, and adjusting physical fitness.
The press team left Chongli County and arrived in Zhuolu County in the afternoon. Zhuolu, the character "Zhuo" originally meant to strike. In ancient times, when people were hunting and catching deer, they first sent a team to make a sound to scare the deer, and then ambushed another team in the direction of its running. Whoever wins is the hero. The extended meaning of "Zhuolu" is the place where heroes compete for hegemony.
This is the "birthplace of Chinese civilization". Five thousand years ago, the three ancestors of the Chinese nation, the Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor, and Chi You, lived and worked here, fought and merged, established their capital and established their careers, creating a history of five thousand years of Chinese civilization. As early as 1957, it was reported that Neolithic cultural relics were discovered in Huangdi City. Since then, the Yellow Emperor's Temple and Chiyou Village have been excavated and confirmed. So far, there are still 23 relics of the Three Ancestors in Zhuolu, and gradually formed a tourist scenic spot of the Holy Land of the Three Ancestors of China, including the Chinese Hefu Altar, the Chinese Three Ancestor Hall, the Yellow Emperor Spring, the Yellow Emperor City Ruins, and Xuanyuan Lake.
The reporter came here to visit and watch the Hall of the Three Ancestors of China and the Altar of Hefu. The Sanzu Hall was built on the basis of the original Huangdi Temple with donations from Chinese at home and abroad. In the sacrificial hall sit the three ancestors of Huangdi, Yandi and Chiyou. There are four large-scale murals painted on the walls of the main hall: "Battle of Zhuolu", "Battle of Banquan", "Hefu Busan" and "Dingdu Zhuolu". The Yellow Emperor Spring, Yellow Emperor City, and Xuanyuan Lake surround the Sanzu Hall, making the whole scenic spot naturally beautiful. In front of the Sanzu Hall, there are two stone steles, one on the left and one on the right: the stele of returning to the roots of Hong Kong soil and the stele of returning to the roots of Macao soil. The former is spontaneously organized by folk youths, and the latter is inscribed by the officials of the mainland and Macao. commemorate.
On the side in front of the Sanzu Hall is the Yellow Emperor Spring. It is now the location of the Zhuolu Fanshan Earthquake Observatory. Huangdi Spring was called Banquan in ancient times, which is where the Huangdi people drink water. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor used to bathe the dragon's body in this spring, so it is also called "Dragon Pool". Huangdi Spring is an artesian spring, the water gushes out from the ground and accumulates into a pool with a circumference of 97.2 meters and a diameter of 31 meters. There is a water outlet in the north, and it flows into a natural river formed for thousands of years, which is enough for more than ten thousand people in more than ten villages in Fanshan Town. Drinking, the spring water is clear and gushing. It does not freeze in winter, does not rot in summer, and is dry for a long time. Huangdi spring water moisturizes the skin and cures many chronic diseases. At the suggestion of Xu Xiaoyun, the general manager of the Holy Land of the Three Ancestors of China, the reporters also went to the spring water outlet in the courtyard of the Fanshan Earthquake Observation Station to taste the sweet spring water.
Just across the road from the Sanzu Hall is the Chinese Hefu Altar, which can be said to be the best altar in the world. The total length of Hefu Altar Shinto is 204 meters, and it is on the same central axis as the Chinese Sanzu Hall. On the thousand-year-old cultural Shinto that runs through the Chinese Hefu Altar, there are Sanzu Bridge, Dragon and Phoenix Huabiao, Zhonghua Yitong Square, and Zhonghua Hefu. Altar, National Totem Grand View Garden and other landscapes.
Standing on the Shinto, you can see the opposite Zhuolu Mountain from a distance. In order to commemorate the great achievements of the ancestors, stimulate patriotic enthusiasm, and increase national unity, the ceremony of commemorating the three ancestors of China has been held here for several consecutive years. Guests from all walks of life and people from Taiwan's business, tourism, and academic circles gathered here to pay homage to the three ancestors of the Chinese nation's civilization. This activity has gradually become a tradition. The last thing I came to was the ruins of Huangdi City, located two kilometers west of Fanshan Town, Zhuolu County. The site of Huangdi City is an irregular square, 500 meters long and 500 meters wide, and the city wall is made of rammed earth. The existing city wall is 3 to 5 meters high, the south, west and north walls are still there, and the east city wall is immersed in Xuanyuan Lake.
In the Huangdicheng ruins, there are a large number of pottery sherds, most of which are muddy gray pottery and black pottery except for a small amount of sandy muddy rough red pottery. Remnants of utensils, pottery tripod legs, milky feet, and bean stalks with thick handles can be picked up everywhere, and sometimes complete stone pestles, stone axes, stone chisels, stone spinning wheels, stone rings, etc. can also be picked up. The Yellow Emperor City in the wild of Zhuolu, this dilapidated ancient castle 5,000 years ago, the Chinese nation, a great nation in the East, started here! The first civilization was created here!
In the evening, the press corps stayed in Huailai Diman Hot Spring Resort. At the bonfire welcome party held by the Huailai County Tourism Bureau that night, Jia Haiwen, then director of the Huailai County Tourism Bureau, personally sang together with the reporters. On the morning of July 3, the press team first visited the Diman Hot Spring Resort where they stayed. The numerous facilities in the Diman Hot Spring Resort left a deep impression on the reporters. In particular, the 5,000-square-meter "Diman Spring" health and play water hall and outdoor bubble pools completed in 2009 are matched with the original hot spring SPA and other facilities, and a hot spring entertainment world of nearly 10,000 square meters has been built. .
In the morning of the same day, after visiting Diman Hot Spring, the reporter group drove to Jiming Station, the largest ancient post station in China, which is located in the northwest of Huailai County and at the southeast foot of Jiming Mountain. The reporters boarded the wall of the ancient city of Jiming Station and looked at it, and they had a panoramic view of the whole small post city. I saw that the city wall of Jimingyi is a square, about 300 meters long on each side. The city wall is made of blue bricks, with rammed loess inside, and the wall is 15 meters high. Most of the city is earth-walled dwellings.
The existing temples in the city include Taishan Temple, Wenchang Temple, Chenghuang Temple, Dragon King Temple, Caishen Temple, Baiyi Guanyin Temple, Yongning Temple and other ancient buildings, which are mottled with vicissitudes. Jiming Station is famous for "A Chinese Journey to the West". Many people come here to find the affection in the movie, or to pay tribute to the dusty charm of the ancient station. Jiming Station, formerly known as Jiming Mountain Station, was built in the Yuan Dynasty. This ancient post is one of the most important post stations in the Gyeonggi area in history, known as "Ji Chong". It is the most well-preserved, largest-scale, most-functional, and most distinctive post post complex discovered so far in my country. It has extremely high historical, artistic, scientific, cultural and social values. A living fossil of confidential archaeology.
The Jiming Post was first built in the Yuan Dynasty. In 1219, Genghis Khan led his troops to the west, opened a post road on the avenue leading to the west city, and set up "zhanchi", that is, a post station. In the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420 A.D.), Jiming Station was expanded and became the first station for Dinghuofu to enter the capital. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, post officials were set up to take charge of post station affairs. Jimingyi built an earthen wall in the eighth year of Chenghua (1472 A.D.) in the Ming Dynasty, and built a city pool with bricks in the fourth year of Longqing (1570 A.D.). The city has a circumference of 2,330 meters and a wall height of 12 meters. There are two floors of Yuelou, the Yuhuang Pavilion is built in the middle of the city, and turrets are built at the four corners of the city. The east and west "horse roads" are the entry and exit passages for post horses, and the "South Official Road" in the south of the city is the main road for postmen to pass orders. In the third year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (1738 A.D.), the city wall was repaired and a moat was built in the east of the city.
In the city of Jimingyi, there is also the He Family Courtyard where the former command office of Jimingyi stayed where Empress Dowager Cixi stayed when she fled westward. In the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu (AD 1900), the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded and occupied Beijing, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was in panic all day long. In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled to Xi'an in a panic under the escort of the Imperial Forest Army.
At that time, the He family was a well-known rich man in Jimingyi City. There were five courtyards in total, all of which were brick and tile houses carved with dragons and phoenixes. It was night, and both Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu lived in the second entrance courtyard. Cixi lived in the east room of the north room of the main courtyard, and Emperor Guangxu lived in the east wing room. The entourage of civil and military officials and concubines had their own lodging places. At present, these buildings are well preserved and open to tourists.
The last stop of the reporter group's Zhangjiakou collection trip was to pay homage to the Martyr Dong Cunrui Memorial Hall. The memorial hall is located in Nanshanbao Village, Cunrui Township, Huailai County, the hometown of heroes. Over the past fifty years, the deeds of heroes have been widely read throughout the country. The name of the hero is well-known to everyone, and the spirit of the hero has inspired millions of passionate young people to dedicate themselves to the cause of peace and construction of the motherland. The people of Huailai are also very proud of it.
Dong Cunrui was a famous combat hero during the War of Liberation. On May 25, 1948, he died heroically in the battle to liberate Longhua County. To commemorate Martyr Dong Cunrui, Hebei Province built the Martyr Dong Cunrui Memorial Hall in his hometown Huailai County in 1968.
The old building of Dong Cunrui Martyrs Memorial Hall has a construction area of 8,800 square meters and an exhibition hall of only 100 square meters. It receives more than 100,000 young pioneers, young students, PLA commanders and party members and cadres every year.
The reporters visited the museum after singing the national anthem and laying flower baskets at the statue of the hero Dong Cunrui. Museum commentator Li Zhixing's affectionate and moving explanation made the glorious image of the hero Dong Cunrui deeply imprinted in the hearts of every reporter once again. The press corps revisited history here, experienced the touching deeds of heroes with their own eyes, and received a profound patriotic education. So far, the three-day event of hundreds of media from the capital going to the five counties in Zhangjiakou area has come to a successful conclusion. (Photo: Feng Ganyong)
