Fangshan has always been the best tourist destination in the suburbs of Beijing. Shidu, every crossing is scattered like pearls among every landscape in Fangshan! But this time I want to talk about a secret place, which can be evaluated as a newly promoted and popular spot on the Internet, a Yosemite hidden in the mountains! Here is West Taiping Village, 16 kilometers north of Fangshan Shidu Tourist Area.
West Taiping Village, like most other scenic spots in Shidu, wins by water, but it is even better! The name of the scenic spot is also named after the combination of the village name and Tianchi Shengjing, Taiping Tianchi ~ a quiet small mountain village that was never disturbed during the war! "Taiping" lives up to its name; while "Tianchi" is inlaid between two mountains by a small city-level type 2 reservoir with a storage capacity of 170,000 cubic meters. It is at an altitude of 500 to 900 meters. "The beauty is even more well-deserved!
As for why this place can be regarded as a new Internet celebrity scenic spot, it is necessary to count the unique natural resources here and a beautiful landscape formed after transformation and development based on its own advantages. In Taiping Tianchi Natural Scenic Area, there are lush vegetation, hundreds of springs, silver streams, lakes and waterfalls, clear water and blue sky, and the valleys on both sides are green and beautiful and the air is fresh!
And just at the entrance of the scenic spot, a nearly 4,000-square-meter parent-child play place "Talang Square" was built. As the name suggests, if you wear a swimsuit or a You can step on the water and play in the colorful pool with bare feet in a cool dress...Of course, there is absolutely no need to worry about safety. According to the height of the child, the deepest part is not without knees, and the shallowest part only reaches the ankle, and it is flat and The colorful bottom of the pool makes you feel like you are in Huanglong Jiuzhai! The Talang Pool is layered down, relying on the water potential of the natural artesian waterfall to slowly flow down to form a pool, and there are even small fish in the pool for tourists to fish. It can be described as a landscape with multiple ways to play!
It is also from the "Talang Square" that the secret tour route of Taiping Tianchi is opened. Walking along the small path interspersed with stone steps and plank roads, and climbing up the sluice gate, you will see a pool of clear water jumping in front of you. This is the Taiping Tianchi deity. Of course, from a parallel perspective, it is impossible to see how thorough and vast this pool of clear water is. But judging from the fish swimming in the water and the wild ducks and geese in groups, there is no doubt that the water quality here is excellent. It is no wonder that the drinking water for the villagers in West Taiping downstream comes from here!
Going further inside, you can truly experience what it feels like to be cool and cool like a large natural air conditioner. The rumbling mountain spring gushes down, naturally forming a pool of water, which is what it says about the dependence of the pool and the waterfall. And the air is filled with cool water splashes and thin mist, which will not make people wet but full of coolness. Just at the relocated Dragon King Temple, you only need to stay here for a while, and you will feel cool all over your body, the sticky heat will dissipate immediately, and you will feel extremely comfortable all over your body!
If you stay here for a little longer at Longwangmiao, you may even feel cold. So, enjoying a little and moving on is the best option. Turning around the Dragon King Temple and walking along the Qingxi Stone Road, a mountain road with stone steps from bottom to top and streams from top to bottom appeared in front of you, accompanied by streams. The mountain road is neither long nor steep, about 100 meters long. The mountain spring sometimes jumps down on the ground according to the steps, and sometimes disappears under the stone steps and spews out from the mouth of the faucet on the ground! The gurgling sound of the stream is like musical notes jumping in and out of time, making your hiking trip not boring at all. "Symphony Waterfall" is the name here, isn't it very appropriate! ?
After passing the "Symphonic Waterfall", another wave of coolness hits, and sure enough, there is another waterfall in front of it! Because it is the rainy season, the injection of rainwater and the abundant water resources here make the flow rate of this waterfall faster and the water volume larger! The cold mountain spring water meets the sultry air, and it is often foggy, especially after one o'clock in the afternoon. Xianqier Piaopiao believes that this is the best explanation. And similarly, here is also a shoal, playing in the water and touching small fish must not be missed.
Parallel to this pool and waterfall is a peach forest, walking along the Taolin corridor and the stream beside it. The stream almost overflows the corridor, densely covered with luxuriant aquatic plants and aquatic plants. In addition to the singing of frogs and cicadas, All kinds of small creatures in the mountains and forests appeared one after another. Butterflies and insects of different colors appear one after another. I accidentally captured such an insect. It is said to be called "Yan Niang". I don't know if it is.
And if you continue to go further, you have almost reached the end of the Taiping Tianchi Natural Scenic Area. First, I passed by a mountain shaped like a squatting frog. It is said that this place is called a golden frog looking at the moon, and it is really similar! The scenic spot is also very enthusiastic, and also specially marked the place to watch the golden frog. After passing the Golden Frog, you can see mountains on three sides and another waterfall flowing down. After here, there is no more road. Is it the end of the scenery? Really not, if the outbound journey is the A side of Taiping Tianchi, then the return journey is the way of the return journey, and you can appreciate the B side of Taiping Tianchi!
The route on the B side is to walk to the commanding height of Taiping Tianchi, "Fulu Observation Deck"! The gourd is big enough, and the scenery on the viewing platform is spectacular enough! The meaning of the gourd is also the introduction of Beijing’s intangible cultural heritage "Old Beijing Fire-painted Gourd", and the traditional "Fulu" culture represented by the gourd combined with the village name of West Taiping Village to create the cultural and creative IP of "Taiping Fulu". , Isn’t it very ingenious to serve multiple purposes!
In short, in the Taiping Tianchi Scenic Area, you can enjoy the fairyland-like scenery and beautiful scenery, and it is far from being finished here! However, the theme of "watching mountains and water, enjoying peace quietly" spreads from the inside out to every corner of the Taiping Tianchi Natural Scenic Area. Even the Happy Macaque Valley, which is adjacent to here and belongs to the Taiping Tianchi Scenic Spot, is the same!
Happy Macaque Valley is less than a ten-minute drive from Taiping Tianchi Scenic Area, and it belongs to West Taiping Village. The scenery of the scenic spot is almost the same as Taiping Tianchi, where there are many pools and waterfalls, and the vegetation is beautiful. The difference is that there are more (nearly 500) Taihang macaques here, which makes the macaque valley more lively and spiritual!
How happy the macaques here are, you can understand it from the moment you enter the gate of the scenic spot. As soon as you walk into the gate of the scenic spot with your front foot, you can see macaques in twos and threes starting to jump up and down or watching the changes around you at a distance of five or six meters when you turn your face. Their purpose is only one, have you brought delicious food. But don't worry, the macaques here are not as "monkey anxious" as monkeys in other places, let alone snatch things from tourists. Because the scenic spot feeds regularly and at fixed points, when the meal time comes, a whistle sounds, and the monkeys know that it is time to eat! Therefore, the monkeys here are not hungry, and they will not rush to grab food from tourists.
The favorite of macaques here is peanuts, and there are also various snacks sold to tourists in the scenic area, of course, peanuts are the most sought-after. Look at where the macaques go and what they hold in their mouths. Even their cheeks are bulging. They are all peanuts they love to eat. The monkeys here are also assigned, one wave goes up the mountain, another wave goes down the mountain, there is less food on the mountain, and they are often driven away by the current monkey king, but don’t worry, the staff of the scenic spot will feed at fixed points no matter who is the king. , so most of the macaques here are fat!
In short, whether it is the Taiping Tianchi Scenic Area or the Happy Macaque Valley Scenic Area, everything here allows visitors to enjoy this beautiful place hidden in the mountains in the suburbs of Beijing! At the same time, I will be amazed that Fangshan has come and gone so many times that I didn't discover this long-standing Internet celebrity attraction earlier! No matter whether the purpose of this trip is to play or to explore the secrets, the poetic and artistic mountains and rivers in Taiping Tianchi and Happy Macaque Valley Scenic Area will always give you the freedom of "being in the cage for a long time and returning to nature". wild fun......
TIPS:
If you are tired and hungry, there are not only 12 rest and viewing pavilions, but also a self-operated "ecological restaurant" in the scenic area that serves all kinds of mountain delicacies. Among them, the most recommended taste must be Taiping small moon cakes, also known as Taiping small sesame cakes.
Although there is no sesame, there is no layering! It’s just brown sugar ➕ walnut kernels, spring water and noodles, brushed with ordinary salad oil, and baked in five minutes on the electric cake stall! The taste~ Only after eating it will you know what it means to be crispy, soft, sweet and smooth... If you haven't eaten, it's not a big problem if you eat it while it's hot! If it is not for this delicacy, even if you taste wild vegetables or have a drink in the mountains and rivers, the feeling, it can be said that you will not change it for a god...
