There is fire in July, and weeds in August. Almost in the blink of an eye, autumn is here. However, the early autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is still hot and humid. Where can we go to see the colorful brocade?
The photos of friends in Moments gave me a hint: Fengning, Bashang, the first day road in Beijing North! The cows and sheep bathed in the sun, the golden birch forest, the blue sky, and the winding mountains all attracted me bewitchingly.
Speaking of the autumn scenery on the dam, it is naturally well-known for a long time. When it comes to September and October, it becomes a place where photography enthusiasts gather. It was overcrowded. But in fact, the scope of the dam is far more than these few places. Bashang is a broad geographical term that refers to the transition zone from Hebei Province to the Inner Mongolia Plateau. Because the surface rises steeply and forms a ladder shape, it is named "Bashang". It specifically includes Zhangbei County, Shangyi County, Zhangjiakou City, Guyuan County, and Chengde City's Fengning Manchu Autonomous County, Weichang Manchu and Mongolian Autonomous County and other places.
So this time, I will find another way to go to Fengning, which is less crowded and comfortable, the first day in the north of Beijing!
Bashang Grassland in Fengning is known as the No. 1 Grassland in North Beijing, and the First Day Road in North Beijing is the undulating mountain road between the mountains and ravines on this grassland. In the Fengningbatou area, the scenic spot is composed of two scenic spots, Qiansongba Forest Park and Liushugou Savannah. The total length of the road is nearly 200 kilometers. It is a new paradise for photography lovers.
Entering the Liushugou savannah, birch forests can be seen everywhere.
Before the leaves are all yellow, the green and yellow are mixed together to become a dazzling golden green. The white tree trunks and the yellow leaves on the ground bring the breath of autumn.
Picking up two leaves at random, Hackberry's "Birch Forest" suddenly echoed in my ears: "The two names are engraved on the birch tree, and they swear to love each other for the rest of their lives"...
Birch is actually a romantic tree.
Half green, half yellow, but as long as the autumn wind blows for a few more days, these leaves, like lights, will all turn yellow and light up after brushing.
This is the charm and mystery of northern autumn.
The sun just got into the clouds at this time, but even so, these leaves are bright enough.
But in the south, if you want to see the autumn colors, you have to see whether the gods will reward you or not. Often in autumn, the cold air has not yet come, and after a few rains, the leaves will fall before they turn yellow. Or because of the long-term rain, even if it turns yellow, it is still a dull gray-yellow.
So I have always felt that autumn in the north is the real autumn, with the sky high and the earth far away, clear and open, and colorful and picturesque.
Larch, birch, aspen, and river willow grow separately in the ditch, interlaced with each other. The ground is covered with green grass, and the stream flows briskly by the roadside. Cattle, sheep, and horses cross the road from time to time. At this time, we cars, stop and give way to them.
The horses are unhurried, swaggering across the road, here, they are the real masters.
The car drove up to the top of the mountain, overlooking the dam.
Liushugou is located in the bashang grassland, at the head of the dam, where you can clearly see the large area of land below the dam.
The wind is howling on the top of the mountain. The altitude here is a little more than 2000, and the temperature is much lower than that at the bottom of the mountain. If you stand for a long time, you need to wear cotton clothes to keep out the cold, so in summer, this is also a summer paradise.
Looking back, the Tianlu winds across the top of the mountain, and driving on it seems to be walking through the clouds.
The wind turbine not far away is as cute as a paper pinwheel from a distance. When you walk to its feet, you will find out what kind of giant it is. You have to look up to see the top.
The mountaintops in this area are covered with large windmills, all of which belong to Datang International Hebei Wind Power. Looking at these wind turbines arranged in a random order, a sense of pride arises spontaneously in my heart.
Qiansongba Forest Park got its name because there are more than 133 hectares of rare sandy spruce forests distributed in the area. There are Red Leaf Valley, Lover's Cliff, Prince Lake, Acacia Valley, Squirrel Wa and other scenic spots in the scenic area. Some of these scenic spots are accompanied by pines and fir trees, and the pavilions are sentimental; Wild fruits are fragrant; some paths are deep, and birds sing. Every place, every season, is a different scenery.
Seeing that the forests are all dyed and the mountains are red, this is probably how it feels!
In the park, the original ecology is basically maintained. Tourists enter by car. Because it is a weekend, there are almost no people along the way. It is very quiet. Walking on the side of the road, the fallen leaves rustle under your feet. At that moment, you will feel that the whole world is full of my own.
Sorbus is full of red fruits, looking from a distance, it looks as warm and bright as the poinciana in the south.
"Ah, this tree is full of red flowers!" Myopic me exclaimed in surprise, and a local friend kindly reminded me: "Those are fruits, not flowers."
But what does it matter, whether it is fruit or flowers, they are all equally bright and vibrant, and they are all indispensable scenery in the northern scenery this autumn.
Don't underestimate this green road. Both sides are covered with Prunus japonica and Shandingzi trees. In spring, they will be covered with white flowers. Walking under the trees, or driving a car, is like passing through a fragrant white tunnel. .
I'm drunk just thinking about it. Next spring, I will come again!
Birch trees with black eyes. Qingjun and slender, just like the old song: Slim white birch, leisurely blue sky...
The beautiful scenery can always touch the softest part of the memory.
The tree is red.
The small red fruit is quietly adorned on the branches, and it is also a surprise to find it among the branches and leaves.
Record a short video and keep this beautiful moment!
Qiansongba Forest Park is very large, with mountains, lakes, grasslands and streams. To be honest, if someone who likes photography comes, one day of shooting may not be enough, and you can spend a perfect weekend here.
In the ditch, you can often see cows or horses grazing in a big way.
The cows and horses are all free-range, and the owner does not come to drive them at night, so they are allowed to roam freely among the mountains and rivers. The simplicity of the folk customs here can also be seen.
These cute and docile animals also add a bit of agility to the scenery.
During the two days on the first day in the north of Beijing, in addition to chasing the colorful autumn colors in the mountains and plains, I also watched a sunrise.
I went out at 5 o'clock in the morning. In the faint morning light, my friends and I drove up the mountain. When the car drove to the middle of the mountain, there was already a red glow in the sky. It was cold and windy, so I picked up the camera and got out of the car wrapped in a military coat.
Although it is cold, it would be a perfect thing to watch a gorgeous enough sunrise during a trip!
In the gorgeous red glow, on the hilltop in the distance, the silhouette of the wind engine.
These rotating large windmills have become the best embellishments in the scenery.
Because it rained the day before, a lot of water vapor gathered in the mountains, and the sea of clouds also appeared!
The temperature in the early morning is about 8 degrees Celsius, and the wind is strong at high places, which is especially cold. I took pictures outside for a while, and then got into the car to warm up for a while.
The so-called "frozen and happy" is probably like this! After all, compared with the visual feast in front of you, a little chill can be completely ignored.
The sun gradually jumped over the mountain tops, and the dawn light illuminated the windmill.
Turn down the aperture and shoot a star-shaped sun!
On the hillside, a lonely tree. Sunlight makes grass and leaves as intense as oil paintings.
After breakfast, drive around the mountains.
A large piece of green grass, horses and sheep are on the grass, grazing freely. The small white shed in the distance is a temporary shelter for the herdsmen.
Being in such a scene, I suddenly have the pride of "the sky is blue and the wild is vast".
The pace of autumn is speeding up. Some of the flowers and grass on the meadow are withered, while others are still blooming tenaciously. In short, the grassland here is always full of wild flowers from spring to autumn every year. As long as it is during this time period, no matter when you come, there are flowers to take pictures and see.
The windmill not far away is the best painting element under the blue sky and white clouds.
Looking at these windmills from a distance, they are as small and cute as paper pinwheels. Only when you walk in can you realize how big they really are!
Standing at the foot of the windmill, I looked up, and the sun hat fell off... Each windmill is tens of meters high by visual inspection, and makes a huge buzzing sound, reminding you that it is not a toy, but a modern high-rise building. Behemoth of technology!
If you are a fan of windmill photography, there are thousands of windmills on the mountain ridge of Beijing North First Day Road, which can really easily satisfy your wishes.
The world under the mountain has the same color palette. The green ones are large vegetable fields, and the yellow ones are cooked naked oats.
Mani piles of stones.
Small wildflowers bloomed in the meadow. "The day is not everywhere, youth just comes, moss flowers are as small as rice, and they bloom like peonies"-even if they are small and inconspicuous, they work hard to bloom, and they are also touching.
The cows walked in groups, walking across the grasslands and roads, swaggeringly, not afraid of people at all. Our cars often stop to give way to them.
When they see the camera, as long as they are not too close, they will not avoid it. It adds a lot of dynamic elements to the photos.
Big windmills, herds of cattle and sheep, green mountains, and white clouds will really make you feel "how magnificent the motherland's rivers and mountains are".
There are farmers' cars parked on the side of the road to collect Chinese cabbage.
The cabbage in the field was cut and piled in the field, and a car was filled and drove back. These dishes will be sold to Beijing. These are the scenery that I cannot see in my hometown. The wonderful thing about traveling is that you will come into contact with new worlds and new things.
In the evening, although the clouds were thick, there was still a red light stubbornly shining in the western sky.
So the friends drove to the Tiandi T platform, which is the best place to watch the sunset.
Looking back at the road when I saw it, the middle of the mountain was covered with clouds and fog.
The birch trees on the hillside have already turned half yellow, and it will be the best time from now to the end of September.
So, if you want to enjoy autumn, hurry up this time!
The gentle and gentle slopes of the mountains, the birch forests, the golden and green grasslands, the mist in the mountains, the horses, cattle and sheep flashing in the bushes - all the autumn elements you want are gathered here. All you have to do is find a good angle and press the shutter.
The little golden light in the sky has been refusing to end for a long time, so the two trees in the wind have become the most beautiful chapters in the sunset.
Near the scenic spot is Erdaohezi Village. You can stay at Tianlu Station at night. In addition to hotel rooms, there are also restaurants at reasonable prices. It is a cooperative unit of the scenic spot. A small vegetable field was set up at the door, where water radishes, coriander, and shallots were planted. Pull them out, wash them and mix them with seasonings. It is a fresh cold dish.
The lamb stick bone in Figure 1 is highly recommended, it is so delicious! When eating, first use a straw to suck up the marrow in the bones, which is extremely delicious.
The restaurant takes pre-orders.
There are also many hotels and restaurants in Datan Town not far away.
