Traveling, many times, you will jump over thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally meet the long-lost unique scenery, and feel happy. In fact, in a familiar city, you can also comfortably start a beautiful and romantic discovery journey. Choose a sunny weekend and drive for 2 hours to come to this paradise, away from the city and close to nature. I think, This is the life you yearn for, right?
The feeling of dreams come true is infinitely wonderful, as if the trip to Gubei Water Town that I have been thinking about, finally embarked on a pleasant journey in this childlike June 1st.
Starry sky reading in the night
It's not impossible, the Great Wall Starry Sky Reading Club. I am very lucky to have close contact with countless cultural celebrities, but the premise is to climb the west section of the Simatai Great Wall. In the evening, walking through this lush stone road, I occasionally meet a few women with lanterns. They are simple and elegant, reminding you to pay attention to your feet. The flowers are all in bloom, and the joy of climbing to the top, looking at the winding Simatai Great Wall and the lights on the beacon tower, also shows a little poetic flavor.
Listening on the Beacon Tower, from dusk to dusk, I participated in a gathering with artists, film and television artists at close range. Wang Luodan, Shi Hang, Cheng Fangyuan and others gathered to start a cultural journey. In many cases, poetry can make the heart pure and peaceful, and everything around you instantly quiets down. Listening to insects, watching the lights of the stars, the brightest stars in the night sky, night tours with lanterns have a special artistic conception, just because the Simatai Great Wall is a bit fun.
Beautiful and romantic music water dance show
This water dance show located on Wangjing Street attracted tourists from all over the world, children and the elderly gathered together, and the show started dazzlingly. The colorful fountain is just a prelude, and the highlight is actually the virtual reality performance reflected on the Wangjing Tower, deducing soft, enchanting and thrilling scenes.
Wangjing Tower keeps changing colors, even shapes, phoenixes, lions, and ancient generals appear one by one, like a living magic building, where water and fire blend together, unpredictable, and a wonderful audio-visual feast can be lit up This bright night.
Firepit inspired by Hakka Tulou
Staying here tonight, the name is very interesting, Huotang, I always feel a sense of warmth that stops in my heart, in fact, it does symbolize reunion, it is enjoyable, stepping into the room, the large guest room area, Tibetan style blows your face, finely interpreted , the ideal of life hidden in the city.
The inspiration comes from the combination of "Hakka Tulou" and "Great Wall". The exterior is made of adobe bricks, but the interior has exquisite craftsmanship. Carpets, hanging ornaments, water glasses, and bathtubs are printed against each other to create a comfortable and comfortable living atmosphere.
Walking in the corridor at will, the light beam becomes neat and bright, and the printing on the wood is particularly eye-catching.
The courtyard is a place for taking photos. Standing anywhere in this circle is a beautiful scenery. The sky is round and the place is probably such a beautiful artistic conception.
Sunshine in the morning, morning tea on the boat
Come to the water town, wouldn't it be a pity to miss the morning tea on the cruise? We deliberately woke up early, got out of the hotel, shuttled through the quiet ancient town, and arrived at the cruise ship pier in a short while. Everything was ready, and when we boarded the boat, everything around us became quiet and easy.
There are many types of morning tea, such as quinoa yogurt, whole grain vegetables, bread juice, seasonal fruits, which are not only rich, but also a natural expression of service quality.
On the boating water, the blue waves are sparkling, the distant mountains, and the houses are all reflected on the water, like a poem and a picture, wandering among the mountains and rivers.
In the fresh air, smelling a little honeysuckle fragrance, reminding me of returning to the summer of my childhood, laughing carefree and wanton.
Cycling through nature
Vacation and leisure are inseparable from cycling, but if you ride the Great Wall by bicycle, does it sound full of longing? The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery here is unique, and the nature is leisurely and comfortable. You can appreciate the winding and charming Simatai, and at the same time, you also encounter the beauty of Cotinus cotinus flowers.
Look, this is the green trail for hiking, the natural ecology, full of vitality.
Wearing Hanfu to visit the ancient town
The area of Gubei Water Town is too large. In fact, you can’t finish it in a week. When you first came here, you seemed to lose the concept of space and time. The infinite space seems to stop time, it seems to be opened It is hard to imagine that this is a starry sky town that exists around Beijing. It is natural and simple, not the hustle and bustle of the city, but it has the unique slow-paced and lively feeling of an ancient town, like in a costume drama. The scenes that appear, during the walk, the heart has infinite leisurely reverie.
Go to the House of Wind and make a kite for your family.
At the post office in Shuizhen, send the thoughts of relatives far away.
Or, wearing a Hanfu, holding an oil-paper umbrella, like us, walking slowly across this small bridge, graceful and gentle.
Mottled tree shadows, ancient dwellings, and cruise ships, it turns out that this is the real appearance of the water town in the dream.
And I couldn't help putting on the Hanfu, combing my hairpin, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and pacing lightly. In such an infinitely beautiful ancient town, with a smile, the journey of time travel began.
Far mountains, near water, after all, the beauty of this poetic and picturesque artistic conception is fascinating. Looking around, it is the scenery that stops in the heart.
Gubei Water Town not only has nature, but also has a lot of fireworks. There are countless restaurants here, which can make gourmet lovers enjoy themselves while feasting.
Handmade DIY tie-dye works
Sometimes, when you see the scene in front of you, you can't help but feel good about it. I think this is how I felt when I saw the dyeing workshop for the first time. The colorful cloth is sun-dried on such bamboo poles, creating an alternating aesthetic feeling of space. It is an artistic style, and it is the most realistic presentation of daily life. Apart from understatement, it adds a little more smoke and fire to ordinary life. Pure and stable beauty.
The process of DIY tie-dye works is not complicated, but it requires more brain cells, because behind each pattern is actually the rules of geometry and physics. Circles, squares, or irregular patterns are all formed by pressing these long and short wooden boards in different directions. If you think about it carefully, it is really a wonderful pattern formation process.
After pressing, put it in your favorite dye, cook it for five minutes, and then open it curiously, it really is the pattern you like.
Enjoy cloud afternoon tea
In the beautiful afternoon, we came to the viewing platform on the top of the mountain, looking down, we can see this beautiful picture of nature and humanities, which is like a dream, like a peaceful feeling of a water town in a dream.
The vegetation is lush and grand, and it is a favorite scenery when you take a photo. Regarding the color of summer, I think this touch of emerald green can best reflect the yearning for coolness.
Very interesting door design, smart and cute.
The sweetness of macarons, the freshness of velvet cake, and a cup of matcha latte make this afternoon lively.
Star theme party
How can a sunny afternoon be separated from the lawn and music? Just in time for the Great Wall starry sky theme party, stroll on the lawn, have a good time with your loved ones and interesting friends, enjoy cocktails and snacks, by the way, don’t forget to decorate your head with hair accessories, although it’s not a masquerade party, But there must also be a playful and lovely sense of ceremony, isn't it?
walk in tent camp
Every child has a childhood dream about tents. The feeling of returning to nature is a pure dream from the heart. In the cool air in the evening, it interprets the infinite yearning for freedom, being close to nature, being home, and even the ideal of life in the wilderness.
Sit casually at the entrance of the tent, and you can shoot a blockbuster movie of the forest. Look, isn’t my little Nezha’s hairstyle very interesting?
Looking at these orderly tents, they look like sprouting forest huts, evoking memories of childhood joy.
I really like this kind of travel life. In nature, there is an infinite beautiful yearning, just like this greenery, and the flowers bloom lightly and leisurely.
The night view of the water town is intoxicating
The singing night of the church on the top of the mountain attracted countless children, sitting around under the lamp, playing interactive games, but I was very interested in the church in the night, it seemed like a church growing in the jungle, with flowers and green trees, The blue sky and dreamy lights are a bit more like a fairy tale.
The night in Gubei Water Town seems to be more peaceful than the daytime, the brightest star in the night sky, everything around is quiet, peaceful and beautiful.
Drone Kongming Lantern Show
That's right, in Gubei Water Town, it is possible to fly drones and open up a stunning bird's-eye view, and the drone equipped with Kong Ming can naturally transform into a specially arranged pattern in the process of slowly rising into the sky—— 2019. I think that the friends who witnessed this big show will definitely be moved by this romantic and sweet scene, hug the loved ones around them, and wish everything well, happiness and peace.
Mucheng, the city I have admired for a long time
For this romantic night, we chose to stay here, a hotel room called Mucheng. The overall design is "blank" geometry, well arranged. The large floor-to-ceiling windows provide an unobstructed view of the mountain scenery outside the window. In summer, it is surrounded by greenery and very lush.
The guest room subtly presents the geometric features of the space. When you take a step, you can see the unique intentions of the design, and the three-dimensional geometry becomes ingenious and interesting. The wooden structure expresses more intimacy.
The modern art-rich bathroom style is transparent and bright, extending the space infinitely, and the cloakroom and dressing table have also made more flexible functional partitions.
Unknowingly, I fell in love with the design style of the balcony. Looking up at the top, or the three-dimensional void around it, it is a bit more exotic.
Hangu breakfast fresh moment
After walking about 500 meters from Mucheng Hotel, we came to Hangu Restaurant. It has a small, fresh and artistic style, and it is a little more natural and comfortable in its beauty. For breakfast, you can choose rich bread or pasta to start a full day. vitality.
william edgar lunchtime
To commemorate geographer William Edgar's protection and contribution to the Great Wall, this Chinese restaurant is specially built. We especially recommend big fish head with beer, crispy squab, and blueberry yam. Praise the unique taste buds to enjoy.
Gubei Water Town, the starry sky town under the Great Wall, was able to meet and rejoice in this beautiful summer. I think that three days is too hasty to describe all the beauty of this small town, but it allows me to feel the paradise, the infinite scenery of the small Jiangnan in the north, like a dream, and travel through In leisurely time. It's like a gentle breeze blowing in summer, the clouds are very light, the wind is very light, everything is just right, the beauty that stays in my heart.
