Since the end of February, friends from the south have begun to show various spring flowers and plants, but there was still snowflakes in Beijing at that time. The spring breeze blows all the way to the north, and in a few days, the bare and gray capital is painted colorful.
The spring in the imperial capital is very short, and it often changes rapidly from dry and cold winter to hot summer within two weeks to one month. How can such a good spring be missed. The cherry blossoms in Yuyuantan, the begonias in Yuandadu, and the magnolias in Dajue Temple are all popular places for people to enjoy flowers. In fact, there are many places in the urban area where people don’t spend much on beauty and don’t need money. Hundreds of flowers are blooming and everything is available. The most beautiful scenery is around us.
In all fairness, the environment and greening in the urban area of Beijing have really improved a lot in the past ten years, and the air quality has also improved greatly compared to before. Although the time of PM2.5 in a state of serious pollution has been reduced a lot, smog still occurs from time to time. Will come to Beijing, coupled with the increase in spring pollen, my sensitive nose is always the foresight.
When traveling, especially in spring, you must have anti-allergic drugs. Even if I go out to enjoy the flowers at the door of my house, I am used to taking a board of astemizole orally disintegrating tablets and a bottle of Renocort with me to relieve allergic symptoms at any time and prevent rhinitis, nasal congestion and continuous sneezing. All kinds of embarrassment.
My favorite is Jingshan Park, which is located on the central axis of Beijing. Since the Yuan Dynasty, it has been a royal garden for emperors to appreciate flowers and climb mountains. The tallest of the five peaks is only 43 meters, but it is the commanding height of the old Beijing city. Looking north, the mountains are full of flowers. , Drum Tower, Bell Tower, Olympic Park are all clear at a glance.
Looking south from the Wanchun Pavilion, you can overlook the Forbidden City. The resplendent imperial city is exceptionally spectacular. The panorama of the Forbidden City from this angle is classic, even more spectacular than the inside of the Forbidden City.
Appreciating the turrets from the perspective of God, the ancient buildings stand out in the modern city. Jingshan Park is now a 4A scenic spot. Tickets have been kept at a low price of 2 yuan for many years. The elderly and students even enjoy a half-price ticket of 1 yuan. It is really the most conscientious scenic spot in China. on the landscape.
The most important thing is that there are not too many tourists here, so it is better to enjoy the beauty of Beijing quietly here than to squeeze into the crowded Internet celebrity spots. On the edge of the Forbidden City in early spring, the old trees have sprouted green branches, and the ducks on the Tongzi River are looking forward to the arrival of spring.
The most well-known thing in Jingshan is that Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, hanged himself here. Many foreign tourists will go to see the legendary crooked neck tree. In fact, it was replanted later, and it is only left to future generations. think.
Various flowers, plants and trees are also planted in Jingshan Park. Some retired elderly people have monthly tickets and will exercise in the park in the morning and evening. It is especially appropriate for young people to wear Hanfu.
Longtan Lake Park is also a place I must go every spring. Tickets are always 2 yuan. A large number of different varieties of flowers and trees are planted in the park, which is colorful in spring. Coupled with careful garden design, this park with water Quite a bit of Jiangnan charm.
However, for a few years I did not know why I was allergic to pollen. I would sneeze and have a runny nose if I didn’t pay attention, and I started to be frightened when spring came. For a while, I even took precautions against all flowers. Later, I was recommended by friends to use Reno special
, Unknowingly, the symptoms will gradually disappear. When spring comes, the elderly, children and other frail and sick people with low immunity must pay more attention.
Magnolia, peach blossom, apricot blossom, pear blossom, and crabapple in Longtan Lake Park bloom in turn in spring. The delicate and beautiful flowers embellish the best days of the year in Beijing. There is also a Sino-Japanese Friendship Forest here. The cherry blossoms will bloom in a few days later.
The island in the middle of the lake is a paradise for children. The active children followed the coach to practice roller skating under the Huajian tree, and every move was quite similar.
The sun was just right on the weekend, and some fashionable young ladies put on spring clothes early, and the colorful ones are the best match for spring.
Early in the morning, the Dalmatians were having fun in the grass, jumping up and down in excitement, making passers-by laugh with their funny moves.
I also accidentally photographed a few birds. It turns out that there are not only sparrows and magpies in Beijing. The soft light in the morning is especially suitable for taking pictures.
Anyway, I got up early in the morning, and friends who are not yet satisfied have asked to go to the suburbs of Beijing. Some people suggested to go to the Baili Gallery, which ranks first in the self-driving tour in the suburbs of Beijing. Anyway, the transportation is convenient, there is no toll, and the trip is free. , leave as soon as you say.
In this section, the scenery on both sides of the tens of kilometers of highway in the urban area is winding and varied. Sometimes gentle as water, sometimes thrilling, the cliffs are steep and majestic, and the car circling and shuttling between the hills is like entering a magnificent adventure with unknown results, which always makes people look forward to the future.
It is a pity that although the Baili Gallery is not too far from the city, it seems to be two weeks later than the season in the city due to the terrain and location. Not only the flowers are not blooming, but there are not even a few leaves, but the birch forest in the clouds is also very beautiful. Elegant and romantic.
There are many natural and cultural landscapes hidden in the beautiful valleys and magnificent mountains, such as Wulong Canyon, Chaoyang Temple, Guandi Temple, Wenchang Monument, and wood fossil groups, etc. If you have enough time, you can drop by for a stroll. A friend recommended to eat at a homestay in Huming Village, Liubinbao Countryside, Yanqing. It is said that it got its name because there used to be tigers here. Looking down from the road halfway up the mountain, Xiahuming Village is not big, surrounded by mountains on all sides, the houses are low but well arranged, the mist is pervasive, the shadows of the trees are dancing, it is very peaceful and serene.
This B&B called "Mr.'s Yard" has transformed several old farmhouses that were left unused by farmers into a comfortable and modern new high-end B&B. The decoration and transformation not only take care of the nostalgic obsession of modern people, but also meet the needs of pursuing comfort and enjoyment.
Each courtyard is a separate homestay. Open the courtyard door, walk into the simple and quiet courtyard, and start the long-lost and short-lived farm life.
The red brick and tile-roofed house with large floor-to-ceiling glass windows looks like an old rural house from the outside, but the inside is quite different. There are two bedrooms on both sides, and a large room in the middle for the living room and dining room. This kind of facilities is no less than that of Gaoxing Hotel, and many details are more homely. It is not accidental to become an Internet celebrity homestay.
There are also two sheep in the yard, they are very cute, and they are very close when they see people coming. I have never thought that sheep are so cute before. Adults like it very much, and children will definitely play crazy when they come.
Each yard is equipped with a housekeeper, who is an aunt in the local village. Although she is a farmer, she has obviously undergone professional training and treats people very well.
The housekeeper also prepared hawthorn juice for us, with a thick layer of hawthorn pulp underneath, sour and sweet, very appetizing. This hawthorn juice is hand-boiled with wild hawthorn picked from the mountains. It is also an organic green food, no wonder it is so delicious.
Although it is just a simple farm dish, the ingredients and taste are very commendable. Freshly picked celery and beans in the greenhouse, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stone-milled tofu all won my heart. The same food is different in the countryside.
I continued to drive around, and a friend who was traveling with me probably had an allergic constitution like me. I didn’t know what I had eaten, and a large rash appeared on his arm, which was quite itchy. I didn’t even need to drink water, just took it orally. After a while, he said that he felt much better. It seems that my many years of anti-allergy experience is still useful.
At the foot of the mountain not far away, there is a mirror-like small lake. It is formed by mountain streams converging from the crevices of the rocks on the top of the mountain. It is not only crystal clear, but also has an attractive green color like gemstones. Sections of the incomplete Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty stretched and twisted among the mountains and looming, adding a strong historical imprint to the magnificent nature.
Take out the guitar and sing an old song that I loved when I was a student, as if I have returned to the carefree days before.
In another two weeks, the suburbs of Beijing must be full of spring, and I look forward to the blooming flowers all the way at that time.
It was already sunset when we returned to the city, and the flowers under the backlight were even more beautiful.
Some early blooming flowers have already begun to wither.
At this moment, Jingshan is probably the most romantic place in Beijing. Someone played soothing music, and couples kissed passionately in the sunset.
Beijing at this moment is quiet and graceful, as if it has returned to the way it was many years ago.
The White Pagoda under the setting sun tells a true Beijing love story.
The winter sunshine covered the high-rise buildings in the CBD with a golden coat, and the busy and noisy streets on weekdays also quieted down. , ancient and modern integration, complement each other. Beijing, where the East and the West combine, I hope you will have a better tomorrow.
