For me, who likes flowers and plants, the place I want to check in recently is naturally the just-opened "2019 China Beijing International Horticultural Exposition" (referred to as: Expo). During the Expo, more than 1,200 new and excellent plants were on display, and there were also more than 600 rare plants. As a nympho, do you really want to see these exotic flowers and plants?
However, the area of the World Horticultural Exposition is too large, so it is necessary to plan the tour route in advance. Here are two routes that I personally like, and friends can refer to them.
A: Gate 2 - International Pavilion - Float Parade - Chinese Horticultural Exhibition - Lunch in the Garden - Children's Paradise - Plant Pavilion
Route planning:
B: Gate No. 5 - view Guirui Lake by car - get off and look at Yongning Pavilion - Tiantian Mountain Flower Field, Hefeng Pavilion, Zhuli Pavilion, Youlan Pavilion - China Pavilion - Master Garden - Chinese Horticultural Exhibition Area - International Pavilion - return by car to gate 5
(Tips: There are many visitors in the China Pavilion, and the queue time is long, so be sure to prepare for sun protection.)
Among the many venues in the Expo, my favorite is the Beijing Pavilion. It not only shows the culture of Beijing courtyard house, but also integrates gardening into the culture. Against the background of flowers and plants, the children pushing the hoop and the little girl kicking the shuttlecock remind you of your childhood?
When visiting the Beijing Pavilion, I saw a lot of dry embossed works in a small shop. They are very delicate and ingenious, and I like it very much. So I asked the service staff and learned that this is the work of Orenda Tribe · Yuanxiang Huayouhui. He also told me that the dry embossed works of the Leo Londa Tribe were also invited to enter the China Pavilion, which became the "most special" existence in the exhibition hall, and must be seen.
After visiting the World Expo, I thought that since I was out of the city, I would drop by the suburbs of Beijing to find a good place to relax for two days. It would be nice to spend a leisurely weekend. Just when I saw Yuanxiang’s dry embossed works at the World Expo, the waiter told me: If you like it, you can go to Huayouhui in the small town of Yuanxiang to make it yourself. Moreover, Orenda Tribe Yuanxiang is only 20 kilometers away from the Expo, which is also convenient. In addition, friends who have been here before recommended it, saying that the town is full of green and leisurely life, which is not only suitable for living but also for vacation. Especially the "Fifteen Flower Street" in Yuanxiang is very beautiful. There are always flowers blooming according to the season: peonies, lilies, roses, tulips, hydrangeas...
The concept of the 2019 Beijing Expo is "to integrate horticulture into nature and let nature touch the soul". So the theme is: "Green Life, Beautiful Home". It seems that this theme is also very suitable for use in Orenda Tribe·Yuanxiang. Then walk, go to Yuanxiang for a relaxing and happy weekend.
It takes only 20 minutes to drive from the Expo to Orenda Tribe·Yuanxiang Town. This is a resort town in the western style of the United States, with well-arranged wooden houses and villas, full of quaint atmosphere. This season, the flowers in the urban area have withered, but the flowers here are in full bloom. In the courtyard in front of the wooden house villa, under the decoration of flowers, it looks more quiet and comfortable.
Tips: Because of the climate, the temperature here is lower than that of the city in summer. It has the title of a 22-degree summer town, which can be said to be a good place to escape the heat.
I came here to make dry pressed flowers by myself, so naturally I went to the "Flower Friends Club" on Dream Street in Xizhen first. This is a gathering place for Yuanxiang garden lovers. In Huayouhui, you can see the dry pressed flower works made by "villagers", each of which is as exquisite as a work of art. Naturally, I can't help but come to make a dry embossed work of my own.
Although my dry embossed works are not as beautiful as those made by the villagers, I still feel a sense of accomplishment from learning to finished products by doing it myself!
As the most lively place of the Orenda Tribe, there are not only Huayouhui on Xizhen Commercial Street, but also: Oil Painting Garden, Dream Collection Space, Xizhen Tea Room, Red Wine Museum, Freedom Club small bar, Lohas Sports Hall, U-Crowd Home Furnishing Orenda Tribe Experience Hall, etc. Therefore, since you are here, you should stay in such an atmosphere and quietly learn and experience your favorite projects.
I have experienced the production of dry embossed flowers, and seeing many people creating in the nearby oil painting garden, I can't help but want to experience it. Under the guidance of my teacher, I chose to draw woodblock prints. Although there is a big gap between the painting and the picture, but I draw it stroke by stroke, and I am still very self-indulgent. (It seems that I will come here to study often when I have time, and hope to draw an exquisite woodblock print in the future.)
Since you are here to enjoy the time, a cup of coffee and a short rest are also indispensable. So, at Time Cafe, I tried to learn coffee latte art from the barista in the store and make a cup of latte art coffee by myself. Then slowly taste the aroma of coffee in the corner, and quietly read a book you want to read. Time seems to have stopped here, and it belongs only to yourself.
If you like tea tasting, then in Xizhen Tea Event, you can taste tea, discuss tea, talk about tea, and feel the nature of people among the vegetation in tea culture, which is also very pleasant. If you meet a few tea friends, although you don't talk about the past and the present, you can chat about life in the sea and the sky, what more can you ask for!
Now more than 4,000 books have been added to the tea room. If you like to read, you can choose a book you like, sit in the tea room, enjoy tea, read and study.
Or like wine tasting like me, then the Red Wine Museum in Xizhen Commercial Street must come to check in. The first floor shows the history of red wine development: from the original production, planting to modern canning, fermentation technology...
On the basement floor, the family red wine produced by the Orenda Tribe and the owner is stored. Here you can experience the red wine of the Orenda tribe, and you can also experience red wine appreciation and salon services. Or listen to stories about villagers and members and red wine, and look at the private wine labels they designed for themselves, and you will know that these stories are all about the love of red wine.
Such a rich day, although not to mention cultivating the mind and nature, is to enjoy oneself. However, this is only a part of Orenda Tribe Yuanxiang Town. If you experience everything, you may have to live for a few days.
But if he stayed for a few days, he might be reluctant to leave. Just like what was written on the painting I saw in Dream Space: Find a small town to guard one person for the rest of his life.
When the night is getting darker, stay in the wooden house villa in Yuanxiang or the super five-star American luxury hotel in West Town. In the green mountains and green waters, enjoy the elegant wild luxury life. Whether you are sitting in front of the window watching the starry sky, or lying on the bed listening to the poetry of songs and insects, in short, such a hometown night will make you miss the person in your heart.
Such a romantic night must have delicious food to match. Here we recommend the French cuisine at the Orenda Tribe·Yuanxiang Town Dream Clubhouse. The elegant environment and exquisite French cuisine, together with the fine wines from the wine club, are really: only delicious food and romance can live up to it.
If you feel that tasting two glasses is not enough, then go to the small bar of Freedom Club and have a few glasses of cocktails prepared for you. Taking advantage of the taste of the wine at night, you will gradually get drunk.
Then say: Good night. End the happy time of the day in Orenda Tribe·Yuanxiang Town.
In the early morning, it is quiet, smelling the fragrance of flowers and looking at the scenery alone, it is very good!
Especially the Orenda Tribe·Yuanxiang town’s scenic lake, along the trails along the lake, whether it’s jogging in the morning or taking a walk to see the scenery, the fresh air is as refreshing as the lake water. And I prefer to stop at a place by the lake, quietly watching the lake water slightly rippling, reflecting the reflection.
In Orenda Tribe Yuanxiang Town, if you are interested, you can also choose to learn horse riding in the equestrian club, visit the equestrian museum, etc.
However, the Psychosomatic Health (Medical) Museum of the Orenda Tribe is especially recommended, where there are psychotherapists who can channel emotions and reconcile the mind; physical therapists for sports injuries and post-disease rehabilitation; according to traditional medical theory, use Physiotherapists who regulate sub-health with acupuncture, scraping, massage and other treatments; nutritionists who use modern nutrition theory to regulate and balance health through daily diet...Through conditioning, we can drive away our sub-health and give us the opportunity to be with our 100-year-old self shake hands.
There is a saying: If it is sunny and sunny, enjoy the idle clouds quietly. If the rain knocks on the window, just listen to the wind. If there is love in fleeting years, the heart will bloom with the flowers. If time passes, cherish the past.
Therefore, if you are tired, you can come to Orenda Tribe·Yuanxiang Town to live, to see flowers, taste tea, and drink wine... So, it is just: go to the distant clouds to have an appointment, and return to the mountains intentionally.
