pink - sumac blossoms
The wind between the mountains and the countryside is pink; the sumac flowers on the branches between the trees are pink; the early summer at 20° is more pink... the weekend with pink bubbles carries a rare Relax, escape from the hot city, and go to Pofengling to count the pleasant time of slowing down.
When it comes to Pofengling, most people living in Beijing must know about it. One is 52km away from the urban area of Beijing and located 3km northwest of Huangshandian Village, Zhoukoudian Town, Fangshan District, southwest of Beijing. It is a top choice for spring outing, summer summer, maple viewing during golf season, and snow viewing in winter. Living in the city for a long time, I always want to escape or find a secluded place. Staying in silence for a few days can relieve the long-standing fatigue. Therefore, the mountains, rivers and rivers around Beijing became a good choice.
Pofengling in May has quietly entered the early summer season. The breeze is not dry, everything is just right. The sumac flowers in the mountains are blooming, and the flowers on the branches turn from green to pink and then gradually become thicker until purple-red... A gentle romantic affair spreads in the mountains.
Cotinus cotinus is also known as smoke tree and fireworks. In history, Beijing has a famous landscape of "Jimen smoke tree". Suddenly, the word "firework" is more suitable for this Cotinus cotinus flower, and it is so beautiful in an instant. Accompanied by the morning breeze, stepping on the stone steps on the mountain road, the flowers are like smoke and mist, and you have to see the sunflowers blooming all over the mountain in one day.
In addition to the cotinus flowers blooming all over the mountain in early summer, the 6000m mountain road at the foot of Pofengling is worth tracing back. Many years ago, a barren mountain relied on manpower to carry the stones and sand from the mountain to the mountain, build stones and work, and today's 6000m mountain road was formed. Stepping up step by step, the more than 3,000 meters of Pofengling up the mountain will be marked within a thousand meters, and from time to time on both sides of the mountain road, there will be a sign marked with a few years of marriage. It should be the tourists who came hand in hand. They all want to go from a paper wedding to a diamond wedding.
One end of the 52km connection is a city full of high-rise buildings and crowded people, and the other end is a village with flowers blooming in the mountains and limited tranquility. Take a subway to breathe the gentle wind in the mountains.
Compared with many high mountains, Pofengling, which is more than 600 meters high, is just an inconspicuous mound. But compared with the scenery around the capital, it is unforgettable. Stepping up the half slope, the two sides of the winding mountain road are dominated by natural tall cotinus cotinus, accompanied by elm, Maquanzi, jujube, and vitex. On the way to the high slope, tall sumac, eucalyptus, and poplar are densely distributed, so dense that you can't see the sun, it can be called a holy place for rest and relaxation.
From May to June, the entire Pofengling will be filled with a pink smog. Cotinus cotinus is in full bloom, how can you miss it! In fact, sumac trees grow very slowly, and there are two century-old sumac trees in Pofengling, which are even more spectacular when they are in full bloom. If you walk up to the top of the mountain, it will take more than an hour. You might as well ignore the concept of time, let the sunlight above your head tilt, talk to nature with your heart, fill your heart, and everything is a beautiful color.
The wind in the mountains is tender and tender, the flowers on the trees are swaying gently, but the hearts of tourists are joyful... When you go down the mountain, you might as well sit on the stool in the yard and have a cup of mellow soybean milk. Natural deep love.
Not far from Cotinus Cotinus Blossom B&B is a place for leisure and play—Happy Forest. Happy Forest is an open mountain forest among mountains and rivers. The river flows slowly through the lush forest. The bridge and flowing water, backed by the green hills, the mountain breeze is gentle, and the special geographical environment makes this an excellent summer resort.
You can do activities and play games in the open space under the shade of the trees, and you don’t have to worry about the sun exposure while hiding in the shade of the trees, and you can enjoy the rare summer comfort. The spacious venue here is clean and flat, shaded by green shadows, it can be used for leisure and play, or group building activities.
When there is a suspension bridge in the happy forest, it is swaying, accompanied by the wind blowing from the mountain, so pleasant.
Along the happy forest, you can see a drunk stone forest.
The narrow and long stone cracks alone make people unable to resist going to find out.

Green - living in the countryside
On the slopes and peaks of Youlan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, Cotinus cotinus flowers are blooming. You might as well give yourself a vacation and smell the smell of early summer. In the village at the foot of Youlan Mountain, there are lush trees and a unique and rustic courtyard under the trees. These gardens are called: sumac blossoms. A yard where dreams can be made.
Cotinus Cotinus Blossom B&B is scattered in Huangshandian Village, Fangshan District, Beijing. Along the stone-paved stone road in the village, along the long and quiet alleyway, it is built from north to south, with ten unique small courtyards. From the outside, it seems that there is not much favor, and it is just the yard of a farmer in the village.
In fact, it is also the uniqueness of the folk custom of Cotinus cotinus blooming, which retains the taste of the old house the most. Each small courtyard retains the pattern of the old house and the mechanism of the external building. After a series of renovations, restorations and integrations, those past years that have never been involved are passed down. It seems that by touching the mottled wall, one can feel a strange warmth.
Each small courtyard has a different style, and the landscapes are different from two-bedroom to four-bedroom houses. Approaching the small courtyard, you can see that the guest rooms made of old wood, rocks and other materials exude a warm atmosphere, and the interior and space layout are exquisitely designed. Just like this, in the courtyard where the sumac flowers bloom, you can feel the seclusion you want in the countryside. conveyed attitudes about life.
The guest rooms in each courtyard are different, but each room has large glass windows. When the mottled bamboo shadows and sunlight shine into the room, the quiet courtyard seems to maximize the release of inner peace, making people wholeheartedly Relaxation, and each room has a unique scenery waiting for you.
The No. 9 courtyard I stayed in has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 1 living room. There are 3 big beds, independent rooms, but connected to the public living room, which is quiet and not boring. The warm atmosphere in the room, lying in the quilt of pure cotton linen, seems to be sleeping in the embrace of nature. The facilities in the room are as simple as possible. All rooms use pure herbal toiletries and pure cotton linen, Australian organic skin care brand Sukin toiletries in the bathroom, wooden soap dispensers on the sink, log toothbrushes, wooden Products give a warm feeling.
Each small courtyard has a dedicated housekeeper, and each housekeeper will also present you with delicious food in the dedicated self-service kitchen on campus. As night falls, a few friends can gather around the stove to have a night chat and taste the signature gourmet brazier pot in the small courtyard, or the stewed noodles made by the housekeeper, etc. This beautiful night is also worthwhile!
When the sumac flowers are blooming, every small courtyard will have a beautiful afternoon tea time, which will slow down your weekend time. Sit in the sunny living room, sit around a small table with your family or friends, and enjoy it slowly. The sweet and sour hawthorn juice is hard to put down, and the soft and glutinous pumpkin and sweet potato are also the taste of the long-lost country. It is the most pleasant enjoyment to eat and drink enough to bask in the sun and listen to the singing of birds in the mountains.
