There is a place called Wang Qing.

Wangqing is the place where my husband go on road trip and I went during the National Day holiday last year.

When I first heard the name "Wang Qing", the name alone touched my heart, reminding me of a clear water and a pool of green springs. Even before I met each other, I was already very happy and yearning.

? Walk into Wang Qing

Wangqing County belongs to Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture of Jilin Province and is a typical Korean settlement. It is located in the east of Jilin Province, at the junction of Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province, 45 kilometers east of Russia and 20 kilometers south of North Korea. The county covers an area of more than 9,000 square kilometers with a population of less than 220,000. There are abundant forests and grasses in Wangqing, and the forest coverage rate is close to 89%.

We started from Shencheng on 1 October1day and went to Jilin City and Jiaohe County in Jilin City successively. 1On the morning of October 3, we went from Jiaohe to Wangqing.

It's a sunny day, breezy and the sky is blue and high. Our car is driving on the expressway, and there are not many cars coming in this direction, just in line with our quiet and leisurely mood.

My husband drove all the way, and I was responsible for enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. Expressway is flanked by mountains stretching to the end of the line of sight. Sometimes I clearly see a mountain peak blocking my way, but when I get closer, I turn around and see a hole in the sky. On the hillside, the vegetation is lush and layered, stained with autumn frost and scorching sun, like a huge oil painting, stretching in front of your eyes. There is an unknown big tree, standing upright one by one, with its top proudly pointing to the sky, and its leaves are golden and dazzling.

Sometimes when walking, a farmhouse and a village suddenly appear at the foot of the mountain, and a large gentle slope appears between the two peaks. The crops on the slope are ripe, and a large area of Huang Cancan, one or two old cows are grazing leisurely on the hillside and beside the field.

My heart was suddenly shocked by the beauty of nature, and I sighed from time to time. Several times, I really want to stop, hug a tree, touch a leaf, listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, and talk to the old cow. But we are on the expressway, and we can't stop. I could only look greedily through the window, but I didn't want to blink. The beautiful scenery came into view all the way.

Halfway through, in a service area called Yilan, we stopped to take a nap. This is the most beautiful service area I have ever seen. Under the vast blue sky, in the distant mountains, a small building with ochre color stands quietly there, and it has already entered your eyes unobtrusively. The small building is randomly connected by two floors and one floor, and a spire tower stands in the middle connecting part, which adds charm to the small building.

In this way, we enjoyed and intoxicated all the way. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at Wangqing, a city of green water.

? Zaiwang Qing

Curious about the place name "Wang Qing", I searched Baidu. The name of Wangqing County comes from Jurchen language, and the local sound "Qin Wang" means "fortress". The south of Wangqing County is low-lying. In the rainy season, the accumulated water flows into the stream, forming the Hewang Qinghe River, from which the present county name comes.

I fell in love as soon as I entered Wangqing County. The town is built on the hill, and a clear stream flows through it. When we entered the city, we thought we had reached the end of the county, but when we turned a corner and passed a ravine, small buildings appeared in front of us.

Our hotel is at the foot of the mountain. After checking in, we put down our luggage, took a hot bath and went out.

Driving slowly in the county, the buildings on both sides of the street are not high and the decoration is not gorgeous. There are no bustling crowds and endless traffic in the street. The whole town is quiet, beautiful, elegant and calm, like a girl without makeup, which makes people happy.

We want to find a small shop called "Hundred Years Stone Pot", which is said to be very distinctive. As a result, the navigation led us to a store, and we went in to ask, not the store we were looking for. The shopkeeper is a middle-aged woman with a kind face. She told us that her shop only has soup and rice, and the one we are looking for is not far ahead. She also deliberately walked out of the store and showed us the location of the store.

Following the guidance of the female boss, we arrived at our destination smoothly. My eyes lit up as soon as I entered the store. The storefront is small, but clean and tidy, with unique style and artistic atmosphere. One wall in the store is divided into frames with wood-colored boards, some are decorated with porcelain plates with exquisite colors and styles, and some are decorated with rich Korean customs. The wall near the bar is antique bookshelf style, and books, dolls, pots and cups are scattered around. In this elegant environment, we enjoyed the well-deserved bibimbap and exquisite dishes.

After dinner, the sun sets and the sky is full of sunshine. On the edge of a crystal clear river, a woman made an anvil on a bluestone board, and a young couple polished their shoes by the river. Not far from the other side of the river, I don't know what factory it is. A tall chimney towering into the sky, not far from the chimney is a Russian-style dome building.

I talked with the young couple who brushed shoes for a while before, and I heard that we are from Liaoning. They are very enthusiastic and tell us that this river is called Jiaya River, which is the largest tributary of Tumen River. I heard that I will visit Lanjia Grand Canyon Forest Park the next day. The young couple specially told us to prepare enough food and drinks for ourselves, because the road is long, there are mountains along the way, and occasionally there are villages and there is no place to eat.

The next day, we went to Lanjia Grand Canyon Forest Park early. There are several roads under construction along the way, so we have to bypass the dirt road next to it. The road is narrow and bumpy. After nearly two hours' drive, I finally entered the entrance of the scenic spot. I thought it would arrive soon, but it is still far away. The roads inside are narrow, and they are all dirt roads, and both sides of the road are virgin forests. After a walk, there will be a forest protection checkpoint, a forest ranger will patrol, and people with signs will warn tourists not to bring fireworks and flammable items in. Like I said just now, why hasn't it arrived yet? I saw a car parked on the roadside not far ahead, and tourists in twos and threes got off the car. We knew that we had finally arrived.

When I got off the bus, there were only six or seven cars on the roadside. Except for us, they are all local licenses. It seems that few outsiders know about it here. A local who looks like a mountain man, maybe a staff member here, looks at our car brand, pouts, shakes his head and mumbles. What's the point of coming all this way?

We are not influenced by him. It began to rain lightly when we arrived. Put on the already prepared coat and rain-proof shoes, and we walked on the wooden plank road by the roadside, and our eyes suddenly became clear. All kinds of trees and shrubs on the opposite cliff are crowded with each other, and I won't let them, so I put on colorful clothes for the cliff.

Stones washed down from the cliff are scattered in the mountain stream, and clear streams flow between the cliffs. Some boulders block the way of the stream, and the stream bypasses the boulder, and the water becomes turbulent; In some places, streams flow and suddenly encounter steep slopes, forming natural waterfalls. The forest on the mountain is dyed, and the mountain stream is gurgling. In this misty and rainy mountain canyon, I took a deep breath of fresh air and my heart suddenly stretched out.

After wandering here for a while, we followed the guide of the road sign and drove forward, not far from the original dense forest.

At this time, the rain has cleared up and the sun has come out. We walked along the forest path, and the tall trees on both sides grew freely, such as red maple, century-old poplar, tall and straight Korean pine and yew soaring into the sky. Some trees may not have deep roots and be uprooted by the wind, lying there quietly. Some trees have a big trunk covered with green moss. Some trees have huge holes in their roots, but the whole tree still stands proudly and is full of vitality.

How quiet and beautiful it is here, just like Tao Yuanming's "I don't know how to have a Han, no matter Wei and Jin Dynasties" Peach Blossom Garden. The tourists in twos and threes have dispersed, and my husband and I are reluctant to part.

? Chu Wang Qing

Leave Lanjia Grand Canyon and go to helong city via Hunchun.

Navigation leads us into the country service road. After a very wide section, the road suddenly became narrower and narrower, and only one car could pass. Sometimes there is a forest on one side and a cliff on the other. Sometimes you will suddenly encounter steep slopes and sharp bends. There are few pedestrians on the road, and it is often a long way to see several houses in the mountains. It's getting darker and darker, and then it's completely dark, with no street lights or even cell phone signals. I beat drums in my heart and turned to look at my husband, but he looked calm and calm. I asked my husband if he was afraid and what to do if there were wolves. Mr. Wang smiled easily: fool, there is no wolf, even if there is a wolf, it can't take us in the car.

I just think this section of the road is particularly long. When we finally walked into Kaminooji and saw the bright street lights and the shadow of the city, I took a long breath. I asked sir, is it true that you just said you were not afraid? Mr. Wang said with a smile that he was actually a little scared. If the car breaks down on the road, there is no signal and he can't call for help, then he is in trouble. But he didn't say it because he was afraid I was worried.

Although I was a little nervous along the way, I liked this near-miss journey. Sometimes in retrospect, it is like a dream, illusory and mysterious.
