Lingxi, the spring land of Mentougou, Beijing-

Lingxi Scenic Area is located near Miaofeng Mountain in Mentougou District, Beijing, about 35 kilometers away from the urban area. It is a newly developed scenic area. Many people don't know this place.

Take the National Highway 19, cross the Xiaweidian Village to Lingjiao Village, and follow the signs to reach the scenic spot.

We entered the scenic spot along the mountain road, but we didn't see anyone who collected tickets.

my friend said, down there, it's just the ticket gate.

stretch your head and look down the hill on the left, where there are plank roads, pavilions and some landscape facilities.

The rockfall landscape in front of the pavilion was iced, forming an ice waterfall.

The water surface hasn't thawed yet

Those facilities are related to water conservancy science popularization, such as waterwheels and water rafts.

There are rows of trees

Accompanied by ravines. Walking here

Entering an unguarded gate

The scenic spot is obviously managed by someone, but I don't know whether to buy tickets.

There are signs on the roadside

Streams are gurgling and there are unfrozen ice cubes.

someone is standing on a tree and taking pictures

someone is watching fish in the Woods

someone is lying on a stone

What did he take? Are these big stones?

There are indeed many stones here.

Every stone is not small.

When we get to a place where fees are charged, children can expand their paradise.

There is a shooting range

There is a skating amusement park, but no one plays. It is estimated that the weather is getting warmer, and the ice on the ice channel is not thick enough, so this business is coming to an end.

Come to a fork

It's called Qinxiangquan.

There are popular science brands to explain what "spring" is. Spring is a natural outcrop of groundwater, which is common in valleys and foothills. There are two kinds of springs. One is that the upward movement of water with pressure is called rising spring or fountain. One is that the water flow has no pressure, and the downward movement is called the falling spring. This ditch is full of falling springs.

a real spring! There are many stones, and the springs are clear and abundant.

Lingxi has a good name for such a long stream.

Go on, the trees and streams are mixed together.

There is an ice waterfall on the mountain, which is man-made at first sight.

someone is sitting on a tree root

stones come from time to time

and they are all very big

. Being in a fresh and quiet place, it seems that you have stepped into a paradise.

There are weeds and thorns ahead, and I wonder if the road I'm taking is still in the scenic spot.

when I turned around, I saw the popular science knowledge sign on the roadside. It seems that the scenic spot is very big and this ditch is very long.

the appearance of this kind of stone is called dense knot zone. The rock is controlled by multiple groups of joints, which is severely broken and looks like a spike.

a huge flat stone. Imagine sitting on it and playing chess, and lying on it in summer and letting the wind blow.

or stone

moonlight in its groves of pine, stones of crystal in its brooks.

half artistic conception.

The stone is smooth and delicate

There is a popular science introduction to stone bedding on the roadside. There are two groups of bedding on this sandstone in front of us, and the formation of bedding represents the sedimentary environment of "shock-stability-shock-stability".

According to the introduction of popular science, identify the sandstone in front of you. It is bounded by the purple gravel bedding plane in the middle, and there are two groups of oblique bedding above and below. It's more interesting to learn.

The setting sun shines gently, and the mountain breeze gently caresses your face. Spring is coming.

Stones in an endless stream

Finally, the sign shows that the scenic spot here is called "Thousand Buddha Rock", and I saw rocks piled up on the opposite mountain, like a living Buddha meditating and chanting. This stone is known as the "strange stone Buddha". It seems that the level is very high. It's the stone in this ditch!

Cleavage, joints and rock layers composed of rocks crisscross the mountain, which causes the rocks that make up the mountain to be scattered and broken, and the broken rocks are weathered and eroded by wind and rain, forming what we see.

a few more steps, and you come to a frozen pool.

The geographical structure here is called "fault pool". Two groups of faults meet here, forming a large-scale depression, and local water pools.

Because it is running water, the lake is partially thawed, and below it is the rushing spring water.

The breath of spring and life is sprouting here.

There is the writing of Lingtan on the rock

Here, there is a sign, and at the end of Lingxi Valley, the visit is over.

after crossing the iron gate, it does not belong to the scenic area.

Go through the iron gate with doubtful steps and continue to climb the stone mountain road.

bypassing the stone is a thorn.

after climbing the thorns, the plank road appeared again.

I think it's very novel. What kind of place is this Lingxi ravine?

the scene becomes deeper

the stones are smoother

the scenery here makes me feel like I'm in the south, which is completely different from the bare Jingxi mountains I usually see.

after turning here, there is no plank road and no road.

jump over thorns and stones.

The road turns into a ravine stream

Nature is like this. If you follow the direction of the stream, you can definitely find a way out.

There is no intention of turning back, so going forward along the stream

has also turned into jumping over rocks.

The sun shines on the stone, which is completely "the sunset shines on the mountains, stones of crystal in its brooks".

The rocks are littering the sky, and the trees grow wild

Finally, the road in the valley was cut off by stones, and a high platform appeared.

The foot for climbing the mountain is chiseled on the rock, and there is a long chain, which can only be climbed with both hands and feet.

Go up to the high platform and be in the mountains, and think of a poem or a song-the wind in the valley.

The poet must have had the same experience, shouting at the valley, the wind in the valley!

Continue turning the boulder

I saw a dam suddenly appearing in front of me. It was cold, strange and delightful. Nature and artificiality are skillfully combined. When did we industrious and great people build water conservancy in the mountains long ago and arrange the life of future generations?

when you climb the dam, you will see the reservoir.

the distant mountains are rolling, the ice surface is spotless, and it is magnificent against the blue sky and white clouds!

Clouds come to the mountains better, clouds go to the mountains like a picture, and the mountains are bright because of clouds, and clouds compete with mountains.

This is the Weigou Reservoir located in Shangweidian Village, Mentougou, Beijing. We came up from Lingxi River and walked to the reservoir dam. Others came from Tanchang Village.

in the sunset, they disappeared into the wild grass and never came back.

We, too, came down from the reservoir and continued back to Lingxi Mountain Stream to find our way.
