strawberry picking
Picking isn't just fun for kids, adults love it too. The freshly picked strawberries are very fresh and have a good taste. They don't need to be washed, they are really delicious, sweet and refreshing! Tasting is allowed in the picking gardens, and you can pick it after you taste it, and buy it after picking it.
Picking takes time, and we arrange half a day for picking. The important thing is that the picking process itself is fun.
These picking orchards are all on the side of the road, and you can see them when driving by. Each household has several greenhouses. This home has a large yard for easy parking. The boss is also very nice.
I bought too much, and the boss couldn't figure it out. This is a large shed run by Boss Sun and his wife. This year is the second year of harvest, and it is very meticulous. We bought dozens of catties, and it cost 15 yuan per catty. My wife bluntly said that the sale was a loss. But his house is not easy to park. A sign was erected on the side of the road, and the greenhouse was on the slope next to it.
The strawberry picking garden below is relatively large, with several greenhouses. When we arrived, it was the second day of the holiday, and there were not many strawberries left. We picked a lot of 7 or 8 ripe ones, and it was just right to take them back.
The scale is large and the people are generous, let us taste it at will, and even offered to pick some for the elderly to try! It doesn't matter if you don't buy it? I'm so touched, the four of us unknowingly picked up more than ten catties. Remember her house, I will come again next time, the boss said that strawberries can grow until July!
Next to Liu’s Strawberry Garden, the mother and daughter looked at the tourists, each of them was only allowed to taste 2 or 3 strawberries, and then handed you a pot. There are many picking gardens on the roadside, and the stingy ones do not sell well, and there are few customers.
Paotanggou Hot Spring
Tanggou Hot Spring has a high surface water temperature, and the water contains manganese carbonate, sodium carbonate and other chemical elements and minerals, which can treat arthritis, skin diseases, indigestion, limb paralysis and other diseases.
Tanggou is a forest area, located in a remote mountain valley, but the air is fresh, the scenery is beautiful, and the geothermal resources are abundant. It has been proved by investigation that the hot spring water is sufficient.
Not every hotel has a hot spring pool, which can introduce hot spring water. The most famous one here is the Huaxi hot spring, and the tickets for holidays are also expensive.
I visited Tanggou once in 2018 and chose a hot spring hotel. My joints were uncomfortable, especially in the cold season. I felt good after soaking in hot springs, so I came again this year. This time I booked a hot spring apartment, with 5 people in a car, it is good to have a hot spring.
In fact, the condition of the apartment in Xigu No. 1 is quite good. It is a tube building with rooms facing east, west, north and south. Not only is it easy to turn around, but most of the rooms cannot see sunlight.
There is also a single-person soaking pool in the restroom. The quality of hot spring water is the most important! The pool is also clean. Hands are smooth after soaking.
There are electric mattresses, and it is very cold at night in the mountains. Especially during the Ching Ming Festival, the weather is still cold, the creek is not fully opened, and the ice and water are fused.
Bubble pool, tatami bed, bathroom, air conditioner, kitchen, table, stools, etc. B&Bs are different from hotels in that there is no uniform supporting standard and they are newly opened. There are a lot of supplies, including induction cooker, spatula and tableware. Another room even had a rice cooker. Neither has a wardrobe.
There is no farmer's market or shopping mall in the ditch, and there are roadside stalls selling dry goods, various mushrooms, dried fruits, honey, etc.
Benxi Xiaoshi Lamb Soup
Everyone says that the mutton soup here is delicious, so let's have some! Navigate and locate the Xiaoshi Yangtang main store, the parking spaces are full, and the business is booming!
Lamb soup bowls, 30 yuan per bowl, there are mutton and haggis in it, old soup is added for free, and seasoning is added after filling the bowl, it is not bad!
The fried lamb chops are very fragrant, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, very popular.
I'm full! Open the way! There is still a 6 hour drive to go! Can not eat too much, easy to sleepy driving.
make a sightseeing tour
The grass on the mountain has just sprouted, and the river water is still in the period of mixing ice and water, and it is cold.
The river water has not been civilized, the old thorns have not sprouted, the mother-in-law has not grown, and there are no wild vegetables. No grass, no flowers. The old thorn buds stand upright like a small tree, in the budding period.
Green Stone Valley has not yet been built and is not open to the public. There was not enough time this time, so I didn't go to the Guanmen Mountain Scenic Area.
Tips: During the Ching Ming Festival, it is warm and cold in the valley, so you still have to wear cotton clothes, which is colder than the urban area.
