Lingxi, spring in Mentougou, Beijing-

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

Take 109 National Road, cross Xiaweidian Village, reach Jiaoling Village, and follow the signs to the scenic spot.

We entered the scenic spot along the mountain road and didn't see anyone collecting tickets.

My friend said, below, it is the ticket gate.

Looking down the hill on the left, there are plank roads, pavilions and some landscape facilities.

The stone landscape piled up in front of the pavilion is watered with ice, forming an ice waterfall.

The water has not thawed yet.

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

Rows of trees

With the ravine, I came here.

Enter an unguarded door

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

There are signs on the roadside.

The stream gurgled out, and there was still unmelted ice.

Someone stood in the tree and took pictures.

Someone is watching fish in the Woods.

Someone is lying on the stone.

What did he shoot? Are these big stones?

There are indeed many stones here.

Every piece is not small.

In a charging place, children's development 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 about to end.

Come to a fork in the road

This place was named Qin Xiangquan.

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

Real spring water! There are many stones, and the springs are clear and abundant.

Such a long stream, Lingxi lives up to its reputation.

Go on, the trees are mixed with the stream.

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

Someone is sitting on the root of a tree.

A stone falls from time to time.

And they're all big.

Being in a fresh and quiet place is like stepping into a paradise.

There are many weeds and thorns in front of us, and I wonder if the road we are taking now is still in the scenic spot.

As soon as I turned around, I saw the popular science knowledge brand 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 belt. The rock is controlled by multiple groups of joints, and it is severely fractured and looks like a spike.

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

Or a stone?

The bright moon shed clear light from the cracks and cleared the fountain on the rocks.

Half artistic conception.

This stone is smooth and delicate.

There is a popular science about paving stones by 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, distinguish this sandstone in front of you. The middle is bounded by purple gravel bedding plane, and there are two groups of oblique bedding above and below. It is more interesting to learn.

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

Boulder

A steady stream of stones

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

Cleavage, joints and strata composed of rocks crisscross in the mountain, which leads to the scattered and broken rocks. The broken rocks have been weathered by wind and rain, forming what we see.

After a few more steps, we came to a frozen pond.

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

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

Spring and the breath of life sprout here.

There is Lingtan handwriting on the rock.

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

After crossing the iron gate, it does not belong to the scenic spot.

Take suspicious steps, cross the iron gate and continue to climb the stone mountain road.

Bypassing the stone, it is a thorn.

Climbing over the thorns, the plank road appeared again.

It feels very novel. What kind of place is this Lingxigou?

The scene becomes deep.

Stones are smoother.

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

Turn around here, there is no plank road and no road.

Jump over thorns and stones.

The road turned into a canyon stream.

Naturally, it is. Follow the direction of the stream and you will find a way out.

There is no intention of turning back. Go along the stream.

The road has also become a jumping stone.

The sun shines on the stone, which is completely "the sunset shines on the mountain and the stone is crystal clear in the stream".

Wild trees are scattered on the rocks.

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

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

Climb the high platform and think of a poem or a song in the mountains-the wind in the valley.

The poet must have had such an experience, shouting at the valley, the wind of the valley!

Keep turning the boulder

I saw a dam suddenly appear in front of me. The weather is cold, strange and pleasant. The ingenious combination of nature and labor. When did we industrious and great people build water conservancy projects in the mountains a long time ago and arrange the lives of future generations?

Climb the dam and you see the reservoir.

The mountains are rolling in the distance, and the ice surface is spotless. Against the background of blue sky and white clouds, it is magnificent!

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

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

At sunset, they disappeared in the weeds and came back from the road.

We also came down from the reservoir and went back to Lingxi Mountain Stream to find our way.
