A snow suddenly struck the heart of the birch forest. As a result, a grand party was completed in a noisy or stop-and-go rest.

In the past, people always yearned for it in my friend's photos and Kan Kan's talk which was passed down from mouth to mouth.

Fortunately, in the morning after the snow, my friends and I went to the birch forest.

The birch forest is not far away. It is located in Gaojiawopu, Reva Village, Basong Township, Kangle County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, next to the national highway G3 10, which is more than 500 meters away from Yaoshuixia Scenic Area 1000, Songmingyan 4A Scenic Area 1500, and 24 kilometers away from Kangle County.

Driving all the way, listening to the explanations of friends and tour guides, unconsciously the quiet birch forest has come into view.

Looking around, the early morning sun in winter shows a corner in the distant mountains, which is a crimson mass, as if the painter lit a bright red yellow spot on the dark blue canvas with a brush. At this time, the mountains have already presented layers of outlines; At this time, the birch forest is quiet and quiet.

After a short rest, we walked along the plank road, feeling the warm sunshine in the cold wind, which made people feel extremely precious. You will really feel that a new day has really begun!

Why do birch forests attract tourists from all directions? Perhaps, with the company of the misty Taizi Mountain and the care of the wind, rain and sunshine all over the mountain, the birch forest has become one of the punching points.

The winds of the four seasons are punching in, the sunshine is punching in, and everyone's eyes and joy are punching in, so the birch forest is beautiful. Even in winter, it is poetic.

Although the birch forest in late winter has lost the vitality of spring, the thick green in summer and the dip in autumn, it shows people the beauty of elegance, simplicity, perseverance and tranquility. Walking into it, people will forget the noise and troubles of the city in an instant and feel the comfort of mind washing.

The wooden plank road endows the birch forest with a different kind of scenery, and those amusement parks that attract attention in Tik Tok or Aauto Quicker fall into silence from the noise. Climbing the stairs, the wooden plank road is also made of birch, which is particularly beautiful against the white snow. Stretch up, as far as the eye can see. Looking up, people feel that they are constantly moving forward and stepping into it, and it is true.

In the forest, the snow on the plank road disappeared without a trace. And the snow in the forest, happily absorbing some sunshine, is particularly beautiful.

Walking in the snow, there will be a creaking trampling sound under your feet, which matches the rustling sound of falling snow in the ethereal valley and plays a beautiful movement of "I have forgotten what to argue about".

At this time, there is no human voice around, only the mountain wind whistling in the ear. But everything is fresh, snowy and quiet, and people can't help but continue to explore.

Walking slowly in this quiet white mountain forest, sucking the cool and fresh air, while walking, I watched the uneven density and all kinds of hanging snowflakes, from the crown, trunk to branches, the whole body was crystal clear. Those trees whose leaves have all fallen off hold snowflakes and become fluffy shiny silver bars. The trees are covered with fluffy snowballs, just like white coral trees. Occasionally there are birds chirping in the forest, and they seem to be welcoming another ordinary and quiet morning like us.

The birch forest is not all birch, but also linden, spruce, golden willow and so on. There are many kinds of trees, so it is a large botanical garden.

Stop in the forest, your mind is washed, calm and empty, and you never forget to come back. No matter which angle you look at, the birch tree in front of you stands tall and has linear holes. From a distance, it seems that there are countless pairs of eyes, looking in all directions; Branches and leaves are scattered, branches are soft and swaying in the wind. The bark of birch is white, smooth and delicate, with a layer of hoarfrost, which can be peeled off like paper. Birch trees are 20 to 30 meters high and 60 to 70 centimeters in diameter. It likes light and cold, straight and upright, just like the simple character of northerners and the spirit of defying difficulties and obstacles and going against the wind. I breathe the fresh breath, and my heart is finally far away from the noise and glitz. The birch forest in front of us, with its elegant and lofty posture, gives people a firm belief, a tenacious spirit and a warm attachment.

I think the quiet birch forest has accepted many dream seekers. Painters, looking for colors here, poets, looking for inspiration here, photographers, looking for light and shadow here. Approaching them, it's like I'm chasing my dreams like a birch tree.

In an unconscious chat with friends, we climbed over the top of the mountain and went down the mountain along the plank road. Hay and fallen leaves that used to be everywhere on the roadside were deeply buried by snow.

Looking back, under the afterglow of the sunset, the white birch forest covered with snow looks more beautiful and charming. The beautiful scenery and picture scrolls we saw today are worth collecting and commemorating. ...

In the meantime, water conservancy, forests, coal and other resources are abundant. Zhenwu, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, wrote: "I remember that Lintao is good, and the clear water comes from the south of the city; The cliff flies high and the stone comes out, and the gorge breaks the lock forest. " So Haidian Canyon is also called Sorin Canyon.

Beads on the river are round and bright, beautifully carved, and float with the waves. Especially in the winter morning, when the sun rises and the morning glow is all over the sky, the beads on the Taohe River are covered with a layer of fiery glow, which is more beautiful and magnificent.
