Let me share with you the detailed travel notes of the scenic spots.

Address:

Northwest of Qingsongling Village, Xinglong County, Chengde City, Hebei Province_Heyuan Scenic Area

_Heyuan Scenic Area is known as the first spring in Beijing and Tianjin

After the heavy rain, the air is moist and the light is just right; looking from a distance, the dark blue mountains are looming among the misty clouds; the absence of dazzling glare makes the nearby mountains appear even more majestic. Weather like this is rare. Presumably the valley where the source of the river is located will be more beautiful than usual, so we changed our plan temporarily and headed to the source of the river.

Since there is no mark on the map, I cannot search for the location and cannot navigate. After asking around, I learned that the scenic spot is not far from Qingsongling Village. Take the Jinxing Line to the north and pass through a tunnel. , there is a gas station on the right side of the road. The intersection opposite the gas station is the entrance to the scenic spot. There is a big stone at the entrance with the words "_Source of the River" written on it. There is a scenic spot sign and a guide map next to it.

Scenic Area Guide Map

There is no charge for the scenic area. From the entrance, drive inward along a cement road to the first spring in Beijing and Tianjin. It is 3.6 kilometers long. The road is in good condition, but it is a bit narrow and it is not convenient to miss the car. There are several small attractions along the way, including rare species of wild cherry blossoms, monkey caves, fairy bridges, natural botanical gardens, etc. There is also a place where a TV series was filmed. Every time you visit a small scenic spot, there is a sign on the roadside with relevant introduction to the scenic spot.

Monkey Cave

Attraction Introduction

It can be seen that this road was originally supposed to be a scenic trail in the scenic spot, because there are few places to park. Although there is a small open space near each attraction sign, a car cannot be completely stopped. Occupying part of the road, it would be very inconvenient for passing vehicles, so we only took a few photos at Monkey Cave and Xianren Bridge on the way, and then went straight to the first spring in Beijing and Tianjin.

The _ River originates in the Qingsongling area, flows through Jizhou, Pinggu, and Sanhe, and finally joins the canal in Baodi District, Tianjin City, and flows into the Bohai Sea. The first spring in Beijing and Tianjin is one of the sources of the _ River. When you get closer, you can see that the spring water gushes out from the ground. It is different from the waterfalls flowing down from high places, which makes people feel very magical. Moreover, this is a constant temperature and non-freezing spring that flows all year round.

The No. 1 Spring in Beijing and Tianjin

If you follow the instructions on the scenic area guide map, the No. 1 Spring in Beijing and Tianjin is the end point, but in fact it is not the case. The best things are yet to come. From here, walk along the cement road deeper into the mountains until the end, which is about 1.5 kilometers. The scenery in this section is better than the previous 3.6 kilometers.

The mountain peaks in the distance are shrouded in clouds and mist. The vegetation on the nearby slopes is lush and lush. Various unknown mountain flowers are in full bloom on the roadside. The petals are covered with raindrops and are crystal clear. A winding road The mountain trails take us to an unknown green world.

This green world is so nice. There is no dirty air and no noise in the world. The eyes are green and the ears are filled with the chirping of birds and insects. The spiritual energy contained in heaven and earth seemed to be completely released at this moment. After taking a few deep breaths, I suddenly felt that my whole body was clear. While feeling the nature, you may sing with the birds or dance with the grass and tree elves, and you will be really at ease.

Tour methods and routes:

If you start hiking from the entrance of the scenic spot, you can park your car at the first small scenic spot. The open space next to the stone in the Middle and Upper Proterozoic Realm is not bad. It is wide, but from the entrance to the first spring in Beijing and Tianjin, there are many passing vehicles and the experience is not very good, so those who want to walk the whole journey are best to choose early morning.

If you come at other times, park your car at Beijing-Tianjin No. 1 Spring and only walk the next 1.5 kilometers. The navigation can set the end point to Yulingou Village when you turn from the Jinxing Line to the mountains. , you can see the scenic spot sign.
