On this trip, we will go from Deshengkou in Changping District to Dishui Lake Scenic Area in Yanqing County. First of all, we will drive to the Beijing-Baicheng line, from Deshengkou to Baihe main canal. On the way, you will pass through two ditches and one village, namely Shuiquangou, Shanjinggou and Python Shanzhai.

Liugou Fenghuang ancient city

Then when we crossed the main canal of Baihe River, our first journey was over. Starting from Liugou Fenghuang Ancient City, we entered the second section of the trip, which is a journey with few people and beautiful scenery.

After passing the Baihebao Reservoir Dam, we will enter the core landscape corridor of our trip, which is basically a fun attraction and can be played all the way to the end!

dishui lake

Dishui Lake is a place we can't miss. There is a lotus cave in it. We must go for a walk. There, we can also experience the feeling of walking in the "water curtain cave".

Baihebao Reservoir

In addition to Dishui Lake, Baihebao Reservoir is also a place we can't miss in this trip. It is the fifth largest reservoir and the highest reservoir in Beijing. Here we can see not only the reservoir, but also the Yanshan Mountains.

Then, let's drive all the way from Deshengkou to Dishui Lake and start our relaxed and happy tour of Yanqing Landscape Gallery.

Introduction to the core landscape of the route:

Liugou Fenghuang ancient city

Speaking of Fenghuang ancient city, you may think of Fenghuang ancient city in Hunan for the first time. Indeed, it is very famous and beautiful, but the name Fenghuang Ancient City was actually taken by Beijing first. At that time, it was the most brilliant time. Looking down at the city from a height, you will find that it is like a phoenix spreading its wings, so everyone calls it "Phoenix".

In addition to historical sites such as city walls, city gates and ancient temples, Fenghuang Ancient City also has a distinctive ancient well. Its bottom wall is paved with wooden boards, so everyone calls it "wooden well". The tofu ordered with it is especially fresh and tender, and the surface will ooze yellow oil, so the "well" and "tofu" in Liugou have become legends.

Yongning ancient city

baked wheaten cake

There are many delicious foods in Yongning ancient city, but two of them are famous. One is a fire spoon with a history of more than 2,000 years. Yongning fire spoon is crispy and tender, delicious and affordable. Just pinch it along the edge of the freshly baked fire spoon and it will crack a hole. You can put anything you want.

How about another delicious meal? This is Yongning tofu, a tribute of the Qing court. Compared with tofu in other places, the tofu in Yongning is made of sour sauce. This technology takes a long time, is difficult to use, and has strict requirements on season, weather and sour water. But the tofu made by this high-tech is also more delicious.

Yanshan Tianchi viewing pavilion

Yanshan Tianchi viewing pavilion

In the viewing pavilion, you can not only see the Yanshan Mountains, but also vaguely see the Yanshan Tianchi Lake. This Yanshan Tianchi is an artificial reservoir built on the Ganhe River, the main stream of the Baihe River, so it is also called Baihebao Reservoir, which is about 600 meters above sea level. It is the fifth largest reservoir and the highest reservoir in Beijing. If you want to see the whole picture, we will have other viewing platforms for you to enjoy afterwards.

Baihebao Reservoir

There are many shoals on the north bank of Baihebao Reservoir, with mountains and water. This is a good place for camping. We are used to the noise of the city, and it is also a good choice to go to the outer suburbs of Beijing occasionally to experience the wild life and breathe the pure breath of nature.

The best thing about camping is at night. At night in Baihebao Reservoir, you can see many stars. We sat in the tent, ate our own food and chatted with our family and friends. This is very pleasant.

natural bridge

Tianshengqiao is actually a hole in the mountain. Because it looks like a bridge from a distance, it is named Tiansheng Bridge.

Tiansheng Bridge is more than 80 meters away from the ground, where the peaks are steep, the rock strata are almost upright, and the natural caves under the bridge are like spindles. In the winding Baihe Canyon, this natural bridge looms. From a distance, we look like a flying bridge, which is a very unique scenery.

Dinosaur footprint showroom

Dinosaur fossil footprint

In the dinosaur footprint showroom, we can clearly see dinosaur footprints in different shades, some are oval, some are rectangular, some are clover-shaped and so on. Those dinosaur footprint fossils belong to Ankylosaurus, theropods, ornopods and sauropods. There are many Ankylosaurus footprints, which are the first dinosaur footprint fossils found in China.

Here, I want to remind you that we should pay attention to civilization when watching dinosaur fossils. Don't go over the railing, just watch from outside.

Xiao Kunlun

Do you know why a small print should be added in front of this Kunlun Mountain?

In fact, the Little Kunlun Mountain and the Kunlun Mountain in Xinjiang are the landforms of the same period, so it is named "Little Kunlun Mountain".

In summer, the peaks of Little Kunlun Mountain are lush and full of vitality. In winter, the Little Kunlun Mountain is wrapped in silver and white, just like the snow-capped mountain, which is very beautiful. Its beautiful scenery in different seasons shows the world the magnificence of nature.

chaoyang temple

Chaoyang Temple is a typical Buddhist and Taoist temple, which belongs to the county-level cultural relics protection unit.

This Chaoyang Temple consists of two parts. One is the temple. The whole temple is dedicated to more than ten buddhas, bodhisattvas and immortals. It has the Queen's Hall, Yan Palace and Yaowang Hall respectively. The other part is outside the temple. The area outside the temple is mainly used for holding various festivals.

As one of the most important scenic spots in Baili Landscape Gallery, Chaoyang Temple holds grand folk temple fairs on April 18 and September 9 of the lunar calendar every year. At that time, you can see many local folk performances, visit the market and eat delicious food. If you come at this time, you can feel the lively atmosphere of the temple fair.

He' nan huahai scenic spot

This flower sea in Henan does not refer to Henan Province, but refers to the flower sea south of Baihe River in Yanqing.

There are many sunflowers, lavender, a bunch of red flowers and so on. You can take many beautiful photos there.

Everyone must pay attention to civilization when enjoying flowers, and don't litter.

Guihuamu National Geopark

Silicified wood

Silicified Wood National Geopark is the main body and important part of Yanqing Baili Landscape Corridor. It is the first comprehensive national geological park in China with rare silicified wood as the main landscape. It integrates tourism, leisure and popular science investigation.

In the central area of the Geopark, 57 wood fossils have been unearthed, which were produced in the Jurassic volcanic basin10.40 billion years ago. It is the largest silicified wood group in North China at present. Silicified wood, also known as "wood fossil", is a precious physical object for studying paleogeology, paleobotany and paleontology.

dishui lake

dishui lake

Dishui Lake, composed of unique lakes and waterfalls, is the core area of Baili Landscape Gallery. Because the waterfall in the scenic spot has a drop of more than 20 meters, the sound of water is roaring, and the upper part of the waterfall is relatively small, just like water poured out of a pot, so everyone calls it Dishui Lake.

Dishui Lake scenic area is tall and straight, with cliffs everywhere, where you can enjoy very beautiful mountain scenery. In addition, the scenery of Dishui Lake will change with the seasons.

Xi You Ji Lian East China

In addition to the scenery of the four seasons, there is also a must-see cave in Dishui Lake, and that cave is inside the waterfall, which can be said to be a veritable "water curtain cave"! This cave also has a very poetic name, Lotus Cave.

The whole scenic spot of Dishui Lake is actually very small, but there are mountains and rivers, waterfalls and caves, and a hill will be climbed on the way. The whole tour time is only 2 hours, so everyone will not be too tired while enjoying the scenery. This is a very suitable place for leisure and holiday.
