autumn leaves

It is said that autumn will come after the beginning of autumn, but in fact the weather is still hot, and I have not seen a bit of autumn color. I can’t forget that there must be an echo. I always talk about the beginning of autumn, but I have never seen the shadow of autumn. At this moment, it may be a coincidence that I discovered this red leaf Gubei Water Town hidden under the Simatai Great Wall in Miyun, Beijing.

There are many ways to appreciate autumn leaves. Different appreciation methods will naturally lead to different views. Here, I specially recommend a method that focuses on the various methods of autumn appreciation that I have measured.

Strolling through the streets to enjoy autumn

Walking on the streets of Gubei Water Town, from northeast to southwest, without setting a goal, without planning a route, just because the autumn leaves under the sun make the wide and narrow roads red, and the walls of the old houses of Gubei people are red. .

It seems that every step is a kind of artistic conception, and every time you look back is a kind of scenery, which really makes people fascinated and intoxicated.

Walking in the alleys of this red-hot ancient town, caressing the red leaves covering the walls, when a gust of wind blows, a few red leaves suddenly fall down, making people wonder whether there will be three or two red leaves at the corner of the wall. The cat was lazily lying on the corner of the wall, and her owner was a dainty lady in an ancient costume.

Famous spots to check in and enjoy autumn:

When you go to Yinghua College, you can listen to the melodious sound of the piano in the courtyard of Sanjin, taste the fragrance of books in the garden behind the screen wall, and see the red leaves on the corridor by the pond full of eaves. The antique building, dressed in red leaves, walks through the promenade under the leaves, and interprets the "paradise in autumn in the north" written by Mr. Lao She.

Find a corner, spy on the whole academy from the gap, and try to find the shadow of autumn red leaves from some angles that have never been found before.

Go to Yongshun dyeing workshop, stand in the middle of the drying yard, and watch the dyed cloth with unique patterns fluttering in the wind on the rack. Coincidentally, there was a breeze blowing up the long dyed cloth. I wondered whether after the dyed cloth, there would be a handsome girl's face. The eyes met and felt good, and it was love at first sight.

How to appreciate autumn in hot springs:

Go to the Duanjia Hot Spring House, enjoy the autumn leaves while soaking in the hot spring soup rich in minerals, enjoy the comfortable hot spring and enjoy the beautiful scenery of red leaves in the warm and lazy sunshine.

Riding around the lake to enjoy autumn:

Rent a bicycle, drive to Yuanyang Lake, follow your heart, control the speed of the journey, listen to the sound of the wind blowing autumn leaves in your ears, meet the breeze on your face, and enjoy the scenery along the way.

How to enjoy autumn by boat:

Take a scull boat and walk along the Xiaoyang River to enjoy the autumn. With the swaying of the scull boat, the water waves are reflected in the prying. From a third-person perspective, you can see that all the flowers have fallen and the town is full of red leaves. Burning, small bridges and flowing water, weeping willows, red leaves all over the walls, and boats drifting with oars.

gourmet food

Beautiful and delicious, perfect combination. As a 180-pound foodie, how to eat must be one of the important links in travel. Here I recommend food that has been tested by me and recommended by my real name.

Guguan Hot Pot

The soup base is rich and mellow, the mushroom soup is spicy, and the tomato clear soup has everything you expect. You can choose to share one pot, or one person per pot, choose the pot type according to the needs of the number of people or personal preferences, order your favorite ingredients, and choose the taste of the bottom of the pot.

Hot pot is different from table meals. To a certain extent, hot pot needs to be developed by yourself. For example, you can prepare different dipping materials according to your own preferences, and decide the cooking time according to your taste requirements. These series of factors determine the final result. smell. But the premise of this good taste must be that the ingredients are fresh and the dishes are full, and there is absolutely nothing to say about Guguan hot pot.

Gubei Roast Meat Restaurant

It is said that Beijing Miyun has three roasts, sesame cakes, roast meat and shochu wine. Although it is not possible to gather and taste the three roasts, but when you come to Gubei Water Town and enter this roast meat restaurant, how can you miss the roast meat, which is one of the three roasts?

Select the best tenderloin, go through 18 pure manual processes of old technology, and then use fruit wood fumigation to make Miyun Roasted Pork, which is fat but not greasy, and has a faint fruity fragrance.

Wangjinglou Restaurant

It is said that beautiful scenery and delicious food are more suitable, so the coexistence of the two is not a kind of enjoyment. At the foot of the Simatai Great Wall, next to the Gubeikou River Embankment, there is an open-air panoramic restaurant, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while tasting delicious food, and the visual and taste buds will have a good harvest.

Highly recommended after the real-name evaluation, Maggi marinated kelp has a crisp taste, sweet in the mouth, and aftertaste, an absolute delicacy. Stewed tofu with sea urchin and classic sea cucumber with scallions are also not to be missed!

night view

Small bridge, flowing water, weeping willows Yiyi

In autumn in the north, the daytime is constantly shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye. In this way, the night view of Gubei Water Town will come earlier and earlier every evening.

The night view of Gubei starts with the dark blue of the sky just after the sun sets, and strolls to a bridge, looking at the shops on the banks of the Xiaoyang River.

Looking at the sound of oars and lights on the water, the swaying of the boat, and the fluttering of weeping willows, there is quite a sense of sight in Jiangnan water town "smoky cage, cold water, moon cage and sand". in the north.

Great Wall Light and Shadow Water Dance Show

The night view of Gubei Water Town can be said to be unique. Since it is said to be unique, it is natural to have his specialties. The Great Wall light, shadow and water dance show on Wangjing Street can be said to be the highlight of this night view. Composed of lights, fountains, music and water curtain movies, the water dance movements are matched with the rhythm of the music to create an immersive panoramic shocking effect. It is a visual feast that must not be missed!

If you walk here during the day, you may not think there is anything amazing, but at night, dancing fountains, cool lights, realistic sound effects, and lifelike 3D pictures, just a little bit is enough to make people Stop and watch, not to mention the light, shadow and water dance show created by combining the four.

So when you come to Gubei Water Town and want to watch the Great Wall Light, Shadow and Water Dance Show, you must keep in mind the time. The following performance schedule is strongly recommended to "save screenshots". Before the start of each show, arrange the time in advance to go first, so as to occupy a good position, so as to better watch the water dance show, and better enjoy the sense of substitution presented by the visual impact and sound rhythm.

20:45—21:05

21:20—21:40 (performances on Friday and Saturday)

Hilltop Church, Cloud Cafe

The night view of the ancient town, in addition to shuttling through the streets, there is another more shocking way to watch it, that is to stand on a high place, climb up and look far, and overlook the panorama. When it comes to climbing high and looking far, the most excellent location is the church on the top of the mountain. The church on the top of the mountain is located on a mountain in the central area of ​​Gubei Water Town. It belongs to the Roman Catholic Church. There are 112 seats.

There are also coffee shops, Chinese and Western style wedding rooms, souvenir shops, etc. around the church. Standing in the courtyard of the church, you can overlook the beautiful water town and the steep Simatai Great Wall. This is the best place to shoot the panorama of Gubei Water Town, and it is also a good place to shoot the starry sky. It is a place not to be missed when visiting Gubei Water Town.

The cloud coffee house next to the church on the top of the mountain, the exposed viewing hall part is the entire top of the mountain, overlooking the night view of Gubei Water Town, the best viewing location. Coffee and distance, who says you can't have both? Taste the bitter and mellow coffee, enjoy the panoramic view of Gubei Water Town, and experience both visual and taste.

Simatai Great Wall morning yoga, picnic

Doing yoga in the morning can not only achieve the effect of health preservation and exercise, but also scientifically wake up various functions of the body. Use yoga to wake up the silent body, inject fresh energy into the body with breathing, embrace a good life with a positive attitude, sincere heart and practical actions, help the body wake up from sleep, and start a day of vitality.

Since morning yoga has so many benefits for the body, it is naturally not to be missed. But have you ever thought that on the 100-year-old Great Wall, there are professional Indian teachers who patiently and meticulously teach and lead you to do morning yoga? Some people may say, go to the Great Wall? Still doing morning yoga? When you get to the Great Wall, it's good that you can get down as far as you can.

Before coming to Gubei Water Town, you told me to do morning yoga quietly on the Great Wall, and slowly wake up the body that is still sleeping. I wouldn't believe it if I was killed, but when I came to Gubei Water Town and boarded the private Great Wall in the west section of Simatai, I realized that it turned out that doing morning yoga on the Great Wall was not a dream.

After doing yoga, the body is fully awake. Before starting a full day of energy, there is another important link, which is a hearty breakfast.

Take out the pre-prepared food box, lay out a picnic blanket, put bread, eggs, corn, jam, pour a glass of milk or drink, bathe in the morning sun, breathe the fresh air, and enjoy a hearty breakfast after yoga , a sense of life ritual.

Night Tour Simatai Great Wall

Yoga in the morning corresponds to the night tour. The two good experience methods of Simatai Great Wall are included in this morning and one night. Take a night tour of the Simatai Great Wall, take the cable car to the viewing platform at the foot of the Great Wall, stand on the Simatai Great Wall on the top of the mountain, and have a panoramic view of the prosperity of the entire Gubei Water Town.

Stay America

Eating, drinking, playing, traveling, going out to play, accommodation is naturally also a big key, how to live, how to live, is also a small knowledge. In Gubei Water Town, there are many themed boutique hotels, folk inns and tent camps. Not only can friends who come to play, swim in the water town, play in the water town, eat in the water town, but also live in the water town.

Firepit Hotel

The firepit themed hotel deep in the Orchid Valley takes the Tibetan firepit as the theme element to create a light luxury themed hotel. The overall structure and pattern are very unique, and the atmosphere of the Tibetan-style firepit is rich and full of sense of substitution. The interior decorations in the room are luxurious but unobtrusive, and the theme colors are particularly coordinated and comfortable.

Modern and retro are always two opposite styles, but Huotang Hotel integrates the two into one, which is natural. Advanced coffee machine, electric curtains with automatic opening and closing. Retro Tibetan carpets, wall decoration patterns, copper-colored fish tanks and washstands. This completely different style is perfectly integrated everywhere, and the whole room is like a work of art.

Huotang Hotel also has a design that makes you dare not even think about it. Have you ever thought that you can see the "Great Wall" in the "Hakka Tulou"? Such an idea of ​​the Arabian Nights may never be realized elsewhere, but in Huotang Hotel, in addition to the warm and comfortable rooms, there are some unexpected and bold designs.

Sitting on a circle of sofas around the bonfire, the four-story round earth building makes you feel as if you have stepped into the picture of "Big Fish and Begonia". You can stand on the top floor during the day and overlook the Great Wall of Simatai, one of the eight wonders of the world. The Great Wall, one is a Hakka earth building with a history of 100 years, the combination of the two is really unimaginable.

Light a bonfire at night, sit in the tulou, look up at the starry sky, and enjoy the wonderful scenery of the collision between the beauty of the night and the tulou.

camping tent

For many people, there may be a dream of camping in the wild, but they can't find a suitable place or opportunity. And such a problem is not a problem for Gubei Water Town.

If you feel that conventional hotels cannot meet your fantasy requirements for accommodation, then the tented camp not far from Huotang Hotel can definitely satisfy your "wild" camp. In Langu at the foot of Simatai Great Wall, you can get close to nature at zero distance. You can enjoy the warmth and comfort in the tent when you enter, breathe the fresh air when you go out, and watch the stars when you look up at the night sky. What could be better than having such an experience while traveling?

Niancheng Hotel

The Niancheng Hotel, which is also in the Langu Water Town, looks like an art exhibition hall to me from the outside. The design integrated into the aesthetic point of view is like a painter's unique composition.

From the front desk to the corridor in the hotel, the serious business style is matched with more abstract 3D artwork shapes. The rectangular channel going up the slope, with irregular light source openings, walks inside, as if entering an abstract world.
