In late autumn, visit Pofengling to visit the feast of red leaves

Beijing's autumn climate has always been comfortable, and it is a good choice to go to the mountains in the favorite season. Around October every year, the Red Leaf Festival in Pofengling will come as scheduled. With the opening ceremony of the grand opening, the red leaves of Cotinus cotinus in the mountains will also echo

Pofengling is a famous scenic spot in Youlan Mountain. Listening to these two poetic and picturesque names, one can imagine how beautiful it will be. It is a different feeling to see the forest dyed through the red leaves. On October 10 this year, the 8th Red Leaf Festival of Zhoukoudian Youlan Mountain (Pofengling) sponsored by the Zhoukoudian People’s Government/organized by the Huangkoudian Village Committee officially opened, which means that the best time to enjoy the red leaves has arrived

After picking a good time with my friends, we drove to Pofengling. When we arrived at Huangshandian Village, the sun was already setting. Our group chose to live in Huangkoudian Village Cotinus Blossom B&B. Here we can experience the authentic rural life, breathe the fresh air in the countryside, rest, drink tea and watch the sunrise and sunset

The name of Cotinus cotinus Blossom is also poetic and picturesque. Although it is located in the countryside, the comfort of the internal facilities definitely meets the needs of urban people. It advocates restrained luxury and quality thrift here, and the combination of luxury and simplicity is just right.

A lot of green plants are planted in the courtyard. In order to respond to the arrival of autumn, all the greens have been added with a lot of green and yellow. The layout of No. 9 courtyard where the sumac flowers bloom is very reasonable. The privacy needs of everyone are taken care of in the living room. Each room has its own independent courtyard and entrance door. If you want to have your own independent space, you only need to close the entrance door.

Reading in the afternoon here is definitely a good choice. It provides advanced books that can teach you the philosophy of life and picture books for children. Traveling in person is also very cost-effective

What I like the most is the public area in No. 9 courtyard. In addition to resting and chatting for seven to eight people, there is also a dining table for more than eight people. In the afternoon, the housekeeper here will make afternoon tea for the tenants to eat. A rich dinner will be prepared, so you don't have to worry about the food and drink here

Get up early in the morning and rush to Pofengling in the morning light

At the entrance of the mountain, you can see the red lanterns hanging high

The ivy in Pofengling also began to turn red with interest

There will be many interesting bronze figures on the way up the mountain. They are placed on the side of the road or in front of the stalls in different poses. The girl playing in the water and the big brother eating noodles have lifelike expressions, and the craftsmanship is worthy of praise.

There are beautiful scenery everywhere on the way up the mountain, ripening persimmons, quiet mountain roads and trickling water

Just take some close-ups, and you will have the charm of autumn

When the sun sets, we also start to return the same way

The red leaves on the way down the mountain are even better than those on the mountain. At the bottom of the mountain, you can also see the Internet celebrity employees of Pofengling, a donkey who opens his voice on time at four o'clock in the afternoon. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the donkey will call its owner on time to clean and feed, super spirit

For the night's accommodation, I chose the grandma's homestay near the flowers of Cotinus cotinus. This homestay, which was remodeled from a compound in the late Qing Dynasty where five generations lived, reveals a touch of simplicity.

There are many old objects left in the courtyard, and the red brick rattan chairs are good tools for taking a nap

It is not easy to find a touch of tranquility in the bustling city, so we must enjoy it perfectly during this holiday. In the autumn night, there is a little coolness on the mountain. Turn on the air conditioner and watch a movie in the living room to spend a leisurely time. Definitely the best option for the weekend
