Chongli's First Snow and Bold Old Beijing Hotpot

I started a league a few years ago, and I want to choose my destination from Qinghai, Japan and Rainstorm. I hesitated for a moment. Between Japan and yubeng, I chose to walk in yubeng. At that time, my hiking experience was just crossing the North Peak.

The recent group building is divided into two routes: Chongli and Chaoshan. After a long struggle, I chose to go skiing in Chongli under the temptation of eating.

If life is a game, then many times I will manually choose the "hard" mode for myself.

Why? Maybe challenging yourself is a kind of life interest. In the process of trying new things, you will feel a little uncomfortable and then overcome your fears. After a big circle, God will give you a candy, and you will get some little happiness that you can't get on weekdays.

How long is this road to Chongli?

First, I stayed up late, took a bus to Shanghai at two in the morning, and then flew from Shanghai to Zhangjiakou at seven in the morning. The moment I got off the plane, wow, it snowed. It was beautiful.

After feeling, the next two hours, because of the ice, the high-speed rail slipped, and it was almost impossible to drive in the tunnel. It took more than two hours to walk to the hotel.

Along the way, I slept and woke up, in a daze.

When we arrived at the hotel, it was already twelve noon.

Because the room has not been cleaned, I have to eat, and the room is not ready after dinner. But maybe it's because I saw snow. Southerners have an instinctive excitement and temporarily resist fatigue.

We cleverly ran to the bath center on the fifth floor to soak our feet and lay in the room, slowly feeling refreshed. The guilt of staying up late slowly disappeared. Looking at the snow outside the window in a steaming room seems to have the illusion that Christmas is coming soon.

After all, there is seldom such thick snow in the south.

The fun of skiing begins with going to a ski shop at night to choose skiing equipment. This town is full of ski shops. For us novices, most of the equipment is still rented, and it is absolutely expensive to enter the equipment pit. Coming to the ski shop is like opening a new world.

Different from running and mountaineering equipment, ski equipment is particularly cool, from single boards to ski clothes, all kinds of beautiful styles. However ... it may not be available.

In a pile of colorful clothes, I found the brightest one, green with purple, which is really a collision color system that I would never wear on weekdays. At least put it on so that people around you can't see you.

The next day, I woke up and opened the curtains. Because it rained all day, the pine tree was covered with a layer of white snow, and the outside was white.

I was a little excited at first.

In this way, we started a happy group building of skiing during the day and writing at night.

I really don't have much exercise cells. I skated three times in my memory, once in Shaoxing Qiaobo and once in Yabuli. This is the third time. Every time it's a junior track, just learn to brake.

However, although it's terrible, I still like skiing. Maybe it's because you can immerse yourself in nature and learn to balance your body.

Skiing should be in the north after all.

There are many snow fields in Chongli, such as Wu Tai, Genting, Long Fu, Cuiyun Mountain and Bandung. This time we lived in Genting, so we played Genting's slide.

The snow trails here are really cool, as well as the track of the 2022 Winter Olympics. The facilities here are really perfect, just like on a cruise ship. Into the hotel, eating, drinking and skiing together.

Don't worry about not being able to skate. There are ski schools here. It's really different from what I used to do in the south.

At present, three ropeways are open. Although I only skate at the primary level, the intermediate and advanced ski slopes are also super beautiful and can be used for sightseeing. So staying up late is a little tired, but the first snow in Chongli in 2020 is still worth it.

This time I saw many children playing skateboard, and I thought of coconut children. Maybe I can take him with me next time.

Chongli's food is also particularly unrestrained. Perhaps because this is the back garden of Beijing, there are many old Beijing hot pots in the town. Most people who come here are from North Renye Fang, and the whole hotel lobby is full of northern accent.

Eating meat is the mainstream here.

In a copper pot, instant-boiled mutton and beef; In the iron pot, stewed sheep scorpion. When you come to Chongli, it is necessary to eat mutton. Because it is backed by the Inner Mongolia prairie, the quality of Chongli mutton is particularly good. The roast whole sheep often used to entertain guests in Chongli District is golden in color, tender in the outside and delicious in meat, and can never tire of eating it.

In the old Beijing hotpot, besides mutton, the best food is pork belly with skin.

The braised live fish in Chongli District is also famous. This is the choice of fresh live fish, charcoal fire, so that the fish tastes delicious, as well as corn flour cookies, all of which are delicious, so to speak.

We didn't eat it, because the stewed fish in the hotel had to be reserved, so we could only eat sheep scorpions.

As soon as it is served, the spicy and delicious taste is very attractive. With tortillas. Great.

Besides iron pots and hot pots, the most popular local dishes are barbecue and craft beer. It feels like being in a northerner's gourmet house. The weight is large and the meat is solid.

If you are a meat lover, you are lucky to be here. However, I really can't eat any meat. Southerners say that local dishes (except sauerkraut) are eaten too little, which leads to a little indigestion.

Bold people, bold food, bold sports and worship ceremonies seem to be a good place to liberate nature. Tired of playing, come to a bath center package, and you will feel that your life has reached its peak.

If Christmas comes, it feels like a good choice.

In short, although it was hard, the trip was particularly enjoyable. It was ten degrees below zero, and I finished writing this article in bed. I hope you can sleep well tonight. Sleep super well every day in Chongli.
