In the increasingly autumn season, I embarked on a hiking expedition, aiming at the mountains that have been dyed deep red by time. This is not just a simple hike, but a purification of the mind, a grand narrative about "hiking, climbing ⛰️, admiring the red leaves🍁, crossing the peaks, transcending oneself". With the increase in altitude, the air becomes purer and seems to wash away all the sorrow of the world. Looking around, the layers of forest are dyed, and the red leaves are like fire, which makes the mountain forest extraordinarily charming. In that moment, I felt like I was melting into a colorful painting, and all my exhaustion went with the wind. Climbing the mountain is not only a physical challenge, but also a willpower exercise. Every peak you climb is a breakthrough in your own limits. Sweat soaked the clothes, but the persistence and love inside became more and more intense. For I know that only by constantly climbing can we appreciate the more beautiful landscapes and touch those victories that belong only to the brave. Transcending myself was my deepest realization during this hike. In the process of climbing, I learned perseverance in the face of challenges and learned to rediscover myself in them. When I stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the whole world, all the hard work and dedication was converted into satisfaction and pride. The mountains are full of red leaves🍂, picturesque, and I, too, completed self-transcendence and transformation during this hike. In the years to come, I will continue to climb the peak in my heart.

The red, yellow, and green leaves looked like beautiful clothes for autumn. There was a market with a variety of delicious food when we got off the car. Everything looked so delicious! Parking: There are free shuttle buses to the scenic area at every parking lot. Parking lot 1 was full, so my car was guided to parking lot 2. Parking lot 3 is the closest to the scenic area. Surprisingly, the scenic area announced that the last shuttle bus to the parking lot was at 5:30 pm, but I actually got on the 6:30 pm shuttle bus at 6:28 pm. I think the scenic area made a humanized consideration. When I returned to parking lot 2, the security guards waited for me to drive away before they got off work. I was so touched. I didn't know that the parking lot staff could only get off work after all the cars left. Time to play: I didn't calculate the time to climb the mountain. I was completely attracted by the beautiful autumn scenery, so I kept taking photos. The scenic area started to clear people from the top of the mountain at 5 pm.

❤️❤️❤️ The fall foliage at Pofengling is at its peak. Even though it was a Wednesday, there were still a lot of people. The traffic was terrible, but the beautiful scenery made up for it. Enter through the South Gate. Tickets are CNY 50 per person. The scenery is beautiful even at the foot of the mountain. Many people take photos here. Climb up the mountain, taking photos and enjoying the scenery along the way. Most of the leaves have turned red, and the scenery is beautiful everywhere. The view from the top of the mountain is especially beautiful. Unfortunately, I was too tired to continue. I asked some boys who were coming down the mountain, and they said I was only halfway up. I felt like a deflated balloon and decided to go back down. Even though I didn't make it to the top, I was satisfied with the scenery along the way. 🌟🌟🌟Tips 1⃣ You can take the cable car up the mountain. It's CNY 150 for a round trip, or you can buy a one-way ticket. The scenery is different from the cable car than it is on foot. 2⃣ The red basket restaurant in the scenic area serves delicious noodles, tofu, and fried Sichuan pepper buds. The noodles are especially famous and worth a try. ‼️‼️‼️ The worst part of driving is the parking lot. There is a parking lot at the South Gate. The strangest thing I've ever seen is Parking Lot 1. The screen showed that it was full, but the attendant insisted that I enter the parking lot, turn left, and exit. I couldn't go straight through. I was confused, but I did as I was told. I was charged CNY 20 for entering and exiting the parking lot. If you're driving, avoid this parking lot! Don't get scammed!!!

The Red Leaf Festival in Pofengling, located in Fangshan District, has opened. The viewing period lasts until the end of November, which is also the peak tourist season divided by the scenic spot. It takes nearly two hours to drive. Take advantage of the sunny weather and see the hundred-year-old yellow leaves turning red. Pofengling Scenic Area is well developed. From the parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area to the market along the way to the entrance of the scenic area, it is very neat, clean, and convenient. It takes more than ten minutes to walk from the parking lot to the entrance of the scenic area. You can also take a shuttle bus. The scenery on this road has already begun. The mountains stretch, the streams at the foot of the mountains are gurgling, and the natural scenery of the mountains is beautiful. The construction of the scenic spot is very complete. The mountain roads are all stone steps. The steps are wide. After a few steps, you will change to a wider flat step. It is not tiring to climb up. You shuttle between various trees. The blue sky and red leaves are exquisite in autumn. It is intoxicating. Looking far away, the forest is dyed, and the colorful trees are covered with slopes. With the autumn wind, the colorful waves are swaying, and it is beautiful. Blowing the mountain peaks, watching the red leaves, listening to the wind in the mountains, the soul is calm. One of the best attractions is Yunhu, which is close to the top of the mountain. It is like a sky pool, like tears. Sitting on the chair of the sheep pen coffee, you can enjoy the most beautiful scenery. The overall tour experience is good. The only downside is that there are too many people, crowded with people, crowded with people, noisy, reminiscent of many people's idioms... too dense crowds, the worse is that these people speak too loudly, female voices, high-frequency harsh, children's voices, chat, express, Even tell each other to go to the toilet, I want to plug in headphones, and I am afraid that I can't hear the sound of the mountain. Quality education must keep up, especially starting from the children, respect each other and give others space. If you want to avoid these, it's best to come again in the afternoon when there are fewer people:）

Pofengling Huangshandian Village, nestled in the mountains and rivers, hidden in the countryside - Grandma's House, Fangshan District, Beijing After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I participated in activities at the Youlan UFun Camp in Huangshandian Village, Zhoukoudian Town, Fangshan District, Beijing, and visited the featured homestays in Huangshandian Village. The golden autumn season has begun, and Huangshandian Village is about to enter a lively time. Go straight along the village road to Huangshandian Village (old village) at the foot of Pofengling Mountain. Huangshandian Village uses red leaf resources to develop and build the Pofengling Scenic Area and has held the 12th "Zhoukoudian·Youlan Mountain Red Leaf Festival". The Pofengling Scenic Area is the main scenic spot built by Huangshandian Village after its transformation and upgrading. The annual Red Leaf Festival has become a must-visit place for Beijing people to check in for autumn colors. When the mountains are full of red leaves, tourists can stroll around the agricultural product market at the foot of the mountain, hike up the mountain, look at the mountains gradually dyed red by autumn, and experience the magnificence of the mountains on the top of the mountain. After the heavy rain on July 21, the villagers of Huangshandian Village have moved to the new village not far away. The village transforms and develops idle old village farmhouses through scientific management and operation, and creates a mid-to-high-end homestay for eating, living, and traveling, leading the green transformation of the countryside. This not only enhances the overall tourism attractiveness of Huangshandian Village, but also provides employment opportunities for villagers, achieving full employment for villagers. On this day, it was drizzling, and we walked into several popular homestays such as "Grandma's House", which touched our nostalgia. Looking outside, people can experience the passage of time and vicissitudes, and walking into the house makes us feel warmth and comfort. This old-skinned and new-hearted homestay is amazing. Grandma's House Homestay is a homestay created by Jin Lei, the design director of Hidden in the Countryside. It also won the 2018 Italy A'Design Award International Design Award Gold Award. The warm wooden space surrounded by wooden beams in the century-old house, simple matching is very flavorful, transparent lighting design, there are surprises everywhere in the space. Many people come here admiringly and have a unique sense of intimacy here. No worries, away from the hustle and bustle, simple, full of story. In the village, there is also a Qiu Lan coffee shop. Several well-behaved cats outside the door seem to welcome guests. The cute cats are either lazy or naughty, adding vitality and can interact intimately with them. Here you can drink coffee and stroke cats, and you can also read books. The environment of Qiu Lan Coffee is even more unique, creating a warm and comfortable environment, making you feel like you are in a quiet garden. Here, you can enjoy leisure time and relax.
