Little Switzerland on the outskirts of Beijing is a good place for summer vacation.

I have been to Beijing on and off many times in recent years. Compared with Shanghai, I like Beijing better, like the leisure of old Beijingers, like the gossip in Hutong, and like the daily life of Uncle Bird Walking.

Perhaps because I haven't lived in Beijing for a long time, I can't perceive the fast pace here. Last August, I also visited Beijing once. In those days, I plunged into an alley on the Second Ring Road, lived in a quadrangle, got up early to have a Beijing-style breakfast, and went to Houhai to listen to a song after sunset.

After a year, I returned to Beijing, but this time I started a short trip to go on road trip with my father. My father stayed in Beijing for seven years. He wants cooked food more than I do in this city. This is a big suburb of Beijing. He hasn't been there like me.

This short holiday, let's go to Camel Valley.

It's three and a half hours' drive, and it's almost little Switzerland.

I have always yearned for Switzerland, and I like its environment and scenery.

However, travel is always delayed by such and such things. Taking advantage of a little leisure in August, let's take a closer look at this little Switzerland in the suburbs of Beijing and see if the scenery here is as unforgettable as it is said on the Internet.

In order to travel more conveniently the next day, I chose to live in Nanfaxin the night before. The advantage of living here is that you can enter the expressway relatively quickly the next day without experiencing the terrible morning rush hour in Beijing.

Depart from Nanfaxin at 7: 00 a.m. via Badaling Expressway and arrive at Haituo Valley in three and a half hours.

Haituo ravine is located at the junction of northern Zhangshanying Town, Yanqing County, Beijing and Chicheng County, Hebei Province, about18km away from Yanqing. It's close to Haituo Scenic Area, and the natural environment is very good, so many Beijingers come here for fresh air on weekends.

Before I arrived here, I was driving on the road, with mountains on both sides. I really thought I was in Switzerland.

At present, the architecture of Haituo Valley is quite good, and there are special trails and sightseeing bus to ride.

Walking on the path, the mountains in the distance are particularly green against the blue sky and white clouds.

Walking, I saw the words. On this path, signs like this abound, and many young people sit here and punch in.

It's nothing like summer in the valley. If there is wind, the temperature is about 20 degrees. You need to prepare a thick coat to come here. Compared with the temperature in downtown Beijing, this place is really a good place for summer vacation.

Such statues can be seen everywhere on the lawn of Haituo ravine. They are so cute that many people take photos with them.

At present, many experience areas, tourist areas, holiday areas and so on have been built here. Come here for a weekend, besides camping, you can also experience some projects here.

Er 1473, the tallest coffee shop in Beijing.

Cafe 1473, which is also one of the biggest highlights of Haituo Valley.

It is said that this is a hut with the same door as the Queen's hunting hut. Every piece of wood used for building here comes from the west.

The coffee shop is built on the top of the mountain, and it takes about 10- 15 minutes to get there.

The stairs are not easy to walk, which is a "challenge" for a family with difficulty in climbing mountains. Fortunately, the weather is cool and the trees are swaying along the way. Stop and go is also a kind of scenery.

Meeting such a statue on the road should show us the process of carrying goods. We are much happier than other people who carry heavy objects.

Signs like this guide us all the way.

Remember, don't walk too fast, happiness is chasing you.

This is the road in the mid-levels. The leaves blocked most of the sunshine, and the trees on the steps were mottled.

As soon as I arrived, I could already see the corner of 1473 cafe through the cracks in the leaves.

The building wood used in this cafe has been growing for more than 100 years, and the quality is the same as that of the hunting lodge of the Queen of England in 1962.

The elevation of the hill where the cafe is located can reach 1472 meters, but the reason why it is named 1473 is that the extra meter is a feeling and an attitude.

In the cafe, you can drink coffee, taste drinks, eat freshly baked pizza, enjoy exquisite afternoon tea with friends and so on.

I also saw a warm reminder in the ordering area, but unfortunately I didn't see a cute hairy child. Maybe it's taking a lunch break.

Cafe is not big, there are not many seats on the first floor, and there are spires on the second floor with fewer seats. Comparatively speaking, the second floor is quiet, and many people sit quietly reading books.

There are also seats outside, but the wind at the top of Beijing is really too strong. I just stayed outside for 10 minutes and caught a cold.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the whole Haituo Valley.

On the other side of the cafe, there is a mountain around.

Seeing the rolling mountains and floating clouds in the distance is probably the so-called climbing and looking far.

Third, it is another year when Gesang blossoms.

Summer here is the most comfortable summer.

There is a breeze blowing, and the wind is high and the clouds are light. I wander between the mountain roads and spend the weekend leisurely.

The Gesang flowers in the mountains are in full bloom, so it is very comfortable to walk here without driving along both sides of the road.

Here is a small hillside, where Gesang flowers are planted on the slope, and there is a European windmill at the foot of the mountain. In this way, it feels like being in a foreign country, but in fact, we are only three hours' drive from the city.

If you come here, you may like it as much as I do, and like the purest air here.

Four. Comparison of Swan in Swan Lake

The heart of Haituo is actually two lakes, one big and one small, in the ravine of Haituo.

This lake, whether viewed from the tent area or from the side of Rui Y Lan Hotel, feels very good. All the places you can see here are high mountains.

The green mountain forest landscape and fast-moving clouds in summer are unforgettable.

There are many beautiful European buildings by the lake. If I didn't say it was in Beijing, I might really think it was in some European lake area. During the day, the reflection of the building on the water surface, combined with the blue sky and white clouds, is like a gem with unique decoration.

The owners of the lake are flocks of swans, black swans and white swans. They are swimming and playing by the lake.

They are not afraid of people, but when there are many people, they will show their "singing voice" and long necks.

Compared with the white swan, the black swan is more likely to attract people's attention. When two black swans are together, their long necks can easily form the shape of love, and they are also expressing love and friendship to us.

Many supporting facilities have been built along the lake, such as lawns, wooden plank roads, campsites and so on.

Walking by the lake is the best slow time.

Wu Children's Library, a place that only serves children.

In Haituo ravine, there is another place that I feel particularly intimate, that is, there is a special children's library here. This is for 3- 12-year-olds with independent reading ability. The bookshelves are also divided, and books of different ages are placed in different places.

It is also to cultivate children's autonomy and reading habits, and adults are not allowed to accompany them.

Several families travel together, and the children read books here and are taken care of by special people. Adults can also look at their own things, killing two birds with one stone.

The design of children's library is very beautiful. In addition to the appearance, the bookcase with "rolling mountains like mountains" is specially designed in the indoor sea.

This design is also inspired by the rolling mountains in the suburbs of Beijing.

The bookshelves are densely packed with books, mainly picture books, and some reading materials suitable for older children. Of course, in addition to books, there are Lego bricks here, which are mainly for younger children. Generally speaking, children who walk in here will keep quiet spontaneously and will not affect other children's reading.

On the other hand, for safety reasons, bookshelves are not allowed to climb, although this structure is like a slide.

Several children were reading quietly when I came in. They seem to be frequent visitors here. Their parents left after they left here, and they also chose their favorite books to read.

This quiet space has become a paradise for children.

In Lu camping park, what it looks like in summer.

On a hot summer day, how can you miss a different starry camping? Although this mode of camping has been very common abroad, it is still relatively rare in China, especially in providing camps on a large scale like this, and even having immature facilities.

The camp is a large open grassland, where you can camp, have classes, drink, chat and stare blankly, and watch the stars and listen to music at night. At present, Haituo Valley provides several kinds of tents, such as this spire, which is relatively better and bigger, and can sleep for two people or a family of three for 600+ one night.

Of course, there are also ordinary tents, the price is relatively cheaper, but the space is small and the whole is more ordinary. A bowl costs 200+. If you choose to bring your own equipment, it is ok, but the temperature in the mountains is low in the morning and evening, so you must pay attention to cold and warmth.

Sleeping here, full of stars, watching the most beautiful sunrise, filtering out the impetuousness in the city, is lively and quiet, natural and beautiful. Now it has become one of the favorite ways for young people to get together.

Asia's largest RV, European and American trend life.

The RV theme hotel here is the largest in Asia. This RV travel life has been popular in Europe and America for many years, but the domestic craze for it has just begun.

The RV hotels in Haituo Valley are all American Jayco trailer RVs. The interior space of the RV is still very large, including the basically independent bedroom, living room and bathroom. Living here is not much different from living at home.

The RV hotel here basically has a camp covering an area of 600 square meters, and each RV is assisted by a tent. You can play in the tent during the day and go back to your room to sleep at night.

Of course, here, besides sleeping, you can also do some barbecues and picnics. On the grass, looking at the distance and enjoying the food, is it soon?

There is also an exclusive area in the RV camp, and the occupancy experience is still relatively high. Compared with tent hotels, it is more suitable for young people's high, but more suitable for family travel.

Some little surprises from Barry Y Lan Hotel.

In Haituo Valley, besides tent camping and RV hotel, there is also a Ruilan hotel, which is built according to the standards of star-rated hotels. Compared with the first two, the environment is better and the occupancy experience is naturally more comfortable.

As soon as I entered this area, I saw the slogan "Companionship is true love". Coming here for a holiday is a process of companionship.

The architectural styles of Rui Y Lan Hotel are all Western-style, and the rooms are built on the mountain. Some small details always make people think that they are in Switzerland, which is very exquisite.

There are two important places in Rui Y Lan Hotel, one is if Book Bar and the other is Taotaro.

If the book bar owners is used for people to rest. There is not much space, but there is a special person in charge, so the room is very quiet. There are rooms on the left and right sides of the second floor, which can be accessed, and there are many projects that can be experienced.

First, I met a place where clay was made. Generally, there are many people when I engage in activities, and a special teacher teaches me to pull embryos. It was noon when we came, and no one was there.

In the two rooms on one side of the hall, one is full of magazines and books, and the other is potted plants and exquisite dishes.

The entrance to the other room is a reading place. The bookshelf is full of all kinds of books. If you want to read here in the afternoon, you won't be bored.

I sat on the sofa and read for a while. Some of them are works that I am familiar with, and I have read them many times when I was a student.

But the most surprising experience is probably this small room.

When I entered the room, I saw old tapes all over the wall. In this era when listening to songs has completely relied on mobile phones and computers, it is not easy to see the tapes popular in the last century.

I said, maybe we can find Alec Su's tapes here.

Taotaro is more of a good place for children, and the interior decoration of the room will be more cartoon, which is very suitable for children to play here by themselves.

When I came, there was a girl dressed as a little princess who was so devoted that no one could influence her. Her parents should do other things and leave her alone. Her parents can rest assured that someone is taking care of her here.

At the entrance of Rui Y Lan Hotel, there is a scenic traffic waiting platform. Stand here and wait for the bus to go to the next destination.

Nine black pine riding clubs, coffee and riding fun.

If you think that coming to Haituo ravine can only be a leisurely trip, you are all wet. Here, there is also the Black Pine Riding Theme Park, which also gave birth to the Black Pine Riding Club.

In the Black Pine Riding Club, you can have coffee and afternoon tea here. Sitting indoors, with the theme of riding in your eyes, sitting outdoors, blowing a breeze and looking at the empty scenery is also a good experience.

In the afternoon, there are many people here, mostly small groups of family and friends. When you walk in here, the fragrance of coffee is everywhere, and the air is a little sweet.

Sitting in an open-air seat, listening to the music from the wind and feeling the petty bourgeoisie life in Beijing.

Black pine forest cycling theme park is a cycling park built by Haituo Valley with a million dollars for cyclists. Cyclists can get the greatest satisfaction here. Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not particularly professional. There is a professional TO team here, so that you can immediately experience what is "freedom like the wind".

There are professional mountain off-road vehicles and high/middle/junior track, which is a "knight" experience that the whole family can play.

Come here and start a friendship race along the professional track. If you stay in the city for a long time, the pressure of life will be great and your physical function will decline. If you come here to exercise, you can ride healthier and healthier.

Shiheidebao restaurant and lawn barbecue

In the valley, you don't have to worry about food. There is also a restaurant here. The most convenient and quick restaurant is Haibao Restaurant, which is a restaurant where delicious potatoes are found. In addition to potatoes, there are also meals such as hamburgers, fried chicken and pizza.

It is also good to try these fast foods once in a while. Of course, it has become the most popular western-style fast food restaurant in the valley.

The dining room is large and can accommodate many people at the same time.

Unlike fast food restaurants in the city, French fries here are cooked with high-quality potatoes that have been baptized by high altitude and strong sunshine, and fried chicken and the like are also organic poultry selected by local farmers, which are both delicious and healthy.

In addition to the castle on the sea, there is an all-weather barbecue these two days because of the music festival. The lawn is full of tables, chairs and umbrellas, so you don't have to worry about getting sunburned when you eat, and you can also blow a breeze. It feels very good.

There are many things to eat here, such as old Beijing flavor, like noodles with dregs sauce, as well as very common cold noodles, tea eggs and so on.

There are many seasonings here, which can be added according to your own taste.

This kind of sausage seems to be very common, and meat lovers prefer it.

There are fried chicken, kebabs and baked sweet potatoes. Actually, I'm not particularly interested in anything else, but how can there be no kebabs in summer? A summer without skewers is an incomplete summer!

Luchuan with beer, summer night, perfect.

In Haituo Valley, there is also mineral water specially provided. The packaging is customized. Just like on the way here, it's some interesting words. Just like this bottle, it says, "This bottle of water has no taste. If you feel sweet, it is because your heart is sweet. "

Summer Memories of Super Burning in Haituo Mountain Valley

What I look forward to most after dinner is this Birch Forest Music Festival.

When it was just a little dark, the music on the stage began to ring, and the lights, stage equipment and music were all ready, just waiting for the 18:30 activity to start.

The night here is very burning, accompanied by rock musicians, and everyone present has become a small fan, waving their light sticks and integrating themselves into the music.

Every band can sing a few songs, and sometimes I feel that playing music in Beijing is really atmospheric. I can turn it into a career as long as I like it.

I also stood under the stage, like all fans, swaying to the music.

People gathered here, waving their arms and interacting with the singers.

The night in Haituo Valley is like this, a crazy and lively night.

The light shines far here, taking pictures of the infinite horizon.

On the lawn, the picnic mat is still there, sitting on the grass, blowing the wind, drinking wine, listening to songs and telling their own stories.

Twelve endings

Busy city life has been too long, remember to slow yourself down.

If you live in a different environment, maybe the years will be gentler.
