The fairy tale town under the Great Wall, a romantic Christmas trip

sequence

In the 21st century, where globalization is progressing, western festivals have gradually been integrated into the hearts of the public. Christmas is one of my favorite western festivals. This year, due to special reasons, it is impossible to go abroad to experience the traditional and authentic Christmas. What kind of experience would it be if we had an antique Christmas with Chinese characteristics in China? So I came to the fairy tale town under the Great Wall to spend a romantic Christmas.

Visit Gubei Water Town in winter, a different kind of novelty

Entering Gubei Water Town, you can see all the quaint antique low-rise buildings. The river under the small bridge has already formed thick ice, which makes people have the urge to go ice skating. The reeds in front of me are still swaying in the breeze, showing a sense of quiet desolation.

I still remember that I came to Gubei Water Town in summer, summer and winter are two completely different scenery. Gubei Water Town has a stone bridge building in the south of the Yangtze River, but the river under the small bridge has already frozen, and I have to remind me that this is indeed in the north. The gentle pavilions and pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River make me a little uncomfortable in the frozen north, but this may be the winter feature of Gubei Water Town.

Walk through the Nantian Gate and walk to Sima's Small Distillery. The lanterns at the door are used as a cover to shake in the cold wind. There are wine jars all over the courtyard under the stairs. A unique beauty.

A row of ancient wine bottles is placed neatly by the window. When you open the heavy curtain and walk into the room, you will be greeted with a mellow aroma of wine. It turns out that the wine racks are full of small pottery wine jars.

In the distillery, you can taste the shochu of Gubei Water Town, all of which are above 55 degrees. In Gubei Water Town, there are "three burns", shochu, sesame cakes and roast meat. Only after tasting the three burns can you really come to Gubei Water Town. Soju is one of them, you must try it.

If you taste it and think it tastes good, you can buy a bottle of wine and go back to taste it. I also took a sip curiously, and it was really spicy, and the burning sensation went straight into my throat. We wanted to understand the process of making shochu, so we went into the brewery to visit. As soon as you walk into the wine cellar, you can smell the faint aroma of wine, and the air is full of mellow soju. Here are all traditional equipment and tools for wine making. Under the introduction of the lecturer, you can imagine how the masters operate according to the original craftsmanship, and how the distilled shochu flows down.

After going out of the wine shop, I saw Yongshun dyeing house within a few steps. On both sides of the courtyard of the dyeing workshop, dyed fabrics are hung on bamboo poles to dry. This is the drying yard. Under the slanting light of the setting sun, the dyed cloth was slowly blown up by the breeze, as if traveling in an instant, returning to the slow days of ancient times, and couldn't help but be in a daze in the yard.

I walked back and forth among these floral cloths, which hung straight down from the sky, and the blossoming flowers were ready to come out. The swung floral cloths danced in the wind, which seemed to take me into the rich folk culture.

There is also a museum in the dyeing workshop to learn about the whole process of dyeing cloth. It turns out that dyes have so many colors. Through these simple color mixing and exquisite tie-dyeing techniques, there are such brightly colored and exquisitely patterned fabrics.

In the setting sun in winter, stepping on blue bricks and slabs, walking full, in this workshop China full of memories of ancient times, I kindly feel the simplicity and leisurely pace of life of Gubei Water Town under the Great Wall.

Every part of the fairy tale town under the Great Wall is decorated with atmosphere, and the entrance of the antique shoe shop is decorated with Christmas decorations to make it extra romantic. The entrances of some small shops are decorated with Christmas trees. Under the winter sun, the whole person feels warm.

As I was walking, I was attracted by a shop. There were many brightly colored goldfish on the outer wall. It turned out to be a kite shop. The inside of the kite shop is also decorated with Christmas elements. The Santa Claus hanging on the kite is very cute, and the whole atmosphere is very romantic.

As soon as I entered, I was attracted by the colorful kites on the wall. Seeing that many people were concentrating on painting and coloring their kites, I couldn't help but experience it. I chose the biggest kite - a big goldfish, and watch me turn you into the most shining goldfish in the sky! Dip up the matching paint boldly and paint freely.

The Christmas season in Gubei Water Town can be described as rich in programs and a strong Christmas atmosphere. In Riyue Island Square, a Christmas theater is specially prepared for everyone.

The clown performed magic tricks for everyone. Although the friends gathered in the Great Wall Fairy Tale Town come from all corners of the country, we have a heart-to-heart connection. Everyone had a great time playing, and the whole atmosphere was very active. The clowns interacted with everyone and sent balloons to the children. The Christmas theme song sounded, and at this time, the beloved Santa Claus appeared in front of everyone dancing happily. Everyone rushed forward and couldn't help but take a photo with Santa Claus to celebrate this unique Christmas.

The sun goes down very early in winter, and we seem to feel a little bit of chill, so we came to the Cloud Cafe in the church on the top of the mountain to drink coffee to warm our bodies.

At this time, the Cloud Café already has a strong Christmas atmosphere, so find a corner to enjoy afternoon tea. The cafe is divided into indoor and outdoor parts. The indoor part is decorated in Western style. The sofa seats are filled with Christmas atmosphere. The walls are covered with bouquets of flowers, and there are three cute Christmas snowmen on the wine cabinet. a shadow.

Even the decorations on the dining table are little snowmen. With a strong and cute Christmas atmosphere, I slowly enjoy the chocolate chestnut cake, as well as the exclusive signature cake in the store - the promise under the starry sky, the colorful box is like sprinkled Like magic, the stars are dotted, like stars twinkling.

Sip a small cup of hand-brewed coffee and enjoy your own slow time. After a short rest, the night has fallen, and I thought about going out to the outdoor viewing terrace to enjoy the night view of Gubei Town. It is said that there is also a lighting ceremony, but I didn’t expect to find small snowflakes outside as soon as I went out, the second snow in Beijing’s winter!

When we arrived at the viewing platform, the snow fell even more heavily, and the entire Gubei town was already decorated with lanterns. I suddenly felt that this trip was worthwhile, it was too romantic.

When I reluctantly left the coffee shop, it was already snowing heavily, and the snowflakes fell on the gleaming little elk outside the door of the coffee shop, the path covered with pebbles, Cupid on the lamppost, and the church building opposite. I am in a small town in a fairy tale world.

Fairytale town under the Great Wall

As night fell, Riyue Island Square became more and more atmospheric. Snowflakes fell on the city gate, and I welcomed the heavy snow with excitement.

The most attractive thing in the center of the square is a giant Christmas tree, which is full of colorful lights. Rows of lights embellish the whole town with stars, which is very romantic.

There are many Christmas decorations in the town. Next to the arch wreath, there are decorations such as Santa Claus and gift elk, which instantly add a lot of color to the town. I excitedly ran over to take a photo with Santa Claus, what a fantastic world.

The original stalls and shops on the square are also dressed up for Christmas, and the things they sell also have the atmosphere of Christmas. The cute and girly little things are the most popular among girls.

Tents are set up in the center of the square. After the winter snow, the tents are covered with a thin layer of snow, and the Christmas decorations are decorated with snowflakes, creating a strong Christmas atmosphere.

Inside the tent are warmly placed gift boxes or doll bears and other decorations, and there is also a warm space in the ice and snow. I couldn't help but go in and check in to take pictures, and use the photos to freeze the warm moment.

How can Christmas lack a Christmas feast? Walk into the warm Arrow Tower Steakhouse in Riyue Island Square to have a full meal. The restaurant is also full of Christmas atmosphere, looking forward to this Christmas long table banquet.

The feeling of everyone sitting around eating Christmas dinner is really very warm and happy. The tender turkey, the juicy and delicious steak, I sighed in satisfaction, I was so happy.

Just as I was enjoying the delicious food, I suddenly found something sparkling floating in the night sky outside the window. I took a closer look, and it turned out to be a Kongming lantern! Did not expect another big surprise! I couldn't help but open the window, and my eyes were filled with flying Kongming lanterns, and I didn't know where they were going.

Bravely climbing the Simatai Great Wall, another beauty after snow

It snowed heavily last night, and I am full of anticipation, what will the Great Wall look like after the snow? Before the snow melted, take the cable car to the Simatai Great Wall.

The cable car rises slowly, and you can see the Great Wall standing on the mountainside from a distance. From a distance, it stretches continuously, with no end in sight. When the cable car got closer and closer to the Great Wall, my heart became more excited. As a Chinese, I must climb the Great Wall once. I remembered that I also climbed the Great Wall several years ago. I didn't expect that several years passed in the blink of an eye.

After getting off the cable car, you have to climb a section of mountain road to reach the Great Wall at the top of the mountain. Although the road is short, it is also really cold. Fortunately, there are still snow scenes all over the mountains and plains to enjoy, and there are red wishing cards hanging on the side of the guardrail, which is also a kind of fun.

After finally climbing to the top, to be honest, the first feeling was still very cold! There are fewer obstacles on the mountain, and the strong wind is blowing, making me shiver from the cold.

Every step of the Great Wall is as high as knees. In such a cold weather, climbing the Great Wall is really a test of one's perseverance. If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero. With this will, I forge ahead!

After the snow, the magnificent Great Wall is covered with new snow-white clothes, as if the heaviness of history has been lightened a little, and it is a little more beautiful. My sense of accomplishment and joy is still full. The Great Wall has no end in sight, and the snow on the side of the road also winds up along with it.

At this moment, there are traces of snow on the Great Wall. The snow-white color blends with the desolate ancient Great Wall. The snow is hidden in the gaps between the stone bricks of the Great Wall, depicting the shapes of stone bricks. No matter how simple, the color of snow is the paintbrush of nature, coating the Great Wall with a layer of winter tenderness.

On the mountain where the Great Wall is located, the original summer green is now only bare branches. Looking down from the heights, the Great Wall stretches across the mountains, and the hillside is dotted with black and gray branches and white snow. completed screen.

Although the Great Wall in winter makes people feel very bleak, its momentum is still undiminished. It guards the territory of our country day and night. Standing on the Great Wall, the heart is rolling and heroic. I think this kind of lofty ambition can only be achieved after climbing the Great Wall. Only in the future can I feel this way.

Every inch of it, from every angle, is breathtaking. On the Snow Great Wall, wherever you stop and take a photo, it will be a blockbuster for Vogue magazine.

Soak in private soup and enjoy the romantic meteor shower

I heard that I will be staying at the Shisanmei Women's Theme Hot Spring Hotel tonight, and I feel happy for a while, and I can finally have a private hot spring! The overall design of the hotel is very stylish. Walking into the hotel, you can feel the charm of the Republic of China. The elegant front desk is filled with various books. The decorative cabinets in the restaurant are decorated with antique trinkets, and the walls are antique portraits of gentle women.

Stepping into the guest room area on the second floor, I walked through the long corridor, and the beautiful murals on both sides of the corridor made me stop. But my favorite is the portrait on the door plate, which is probably the most beautiful door plate I have ever seen. The portraits of ancient women on these exquisite paintings are subtle and slightly upturned, vivid and charming, with ancient poems on the side, and the elegant atmosphere of the hotel can be felt everywhere.

The room is very spacious, with a simple and quaint old style, with a living room area, and a welcome card, which is really distracting. There is a free capsule coffee machine in the room, so you can have a drink in your spare time.

In the room, you can see the private soup pool outside through the glass window. What surprised me most is that there is also a steam room, which is very well equipped.

It is said that the hot springs in Gubei Water Town are also quite famous, because the hot springs are rich in iron, so the skin will not wrinkle after soaking for a long time. How comfortable it would be to soak in a hot spring in such a cold winter.

In the small yard that comes with the room, you can comfortably soak in the winter night hot spring. The whole small courtyard is steaming. Suddenly a petal floated onto the water, and when I looked up, it was full of plum blossoms.

Leaning his head on the side, admiring the starry sky, there are so many stars tonight, he picked up the hot scented tea and drank it, and sighed comfortably, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight.

Hey...a meteor just flashed past! I heard that there will be a Gemini meteor shower tonight, but I didn't expect to see it! After waiting for a while, I saw a few meteors streaking across the starry sky one after another, so I quickly made a wish, let the meteor shower carry my wish across the sky, and then it will come true!
