Hello, my dear Hive friends.
As a nature lover, I prefer visiting the natural scenic areas with forests land with lashes of green, mountains with their peaks with the opportunity to explore the world underneath, rivers with the sound of water flowing and the ripples with reflecting sunlight having the zigzag wat through the green lands, and the sea with the infinity view o the rest of the world next to you. And so, I love visiting each corner of the natural surrounding me with he eagerness to feel the beauty of nature that most of us started overlooking in this modern world of fake technologies!
So as my habitual activity, anywhere I smell nature I start to plan to explore natural beauty by any means and go beyond what we observe at first glance. As I have shared in my previous posts, Beijing is a very large city surrounded by mountains, woods, and many water basins that look like lakes. Especially the northern region of Beijing is bestowed with an insane level of natural beauty. This makes it a great place to live if you like to explore nature like me. As long as I am living here, I've explored a lot of different places, and I still do that whenever I have time.
Ziyunshan Natural Scenic Area is a large forest area on the northern side of Huairou City where I am currently living. The location is around 25 km from the location of my institute. It is so large and there are other forest parks in this area as the surrounding is completely covered with hundreds of mountains and the road through I went there is also one of the best ones I have ever traveled.
So, the total distance of the scenic area becomes a huge number as my living place is around 65 km far from Beijing downtown, thus adding another 25 km north from my location the scenic area is around 90 km from the Beijing downtown. Furthermore, there is no direct bus from Beijing city but there maybe some train stoppages can be found which are also not convenient in these mountains. The only way to use the public transport to come to Huairou first and then the scenic area.
The complete area is properly connected with the city life at least the radside area is very safe if I observe first. But the number of tourists is very low in numbers as the area is really so far away. And also public transport is not so good option to come here without private transportation.
I have seen some people around the area but the traffic on the road was unfortunately quite normal. As this is the only highway that connects the far north of the Beijing Municipal and other northern city, so traffic was quite busy on the mountain roads.
It is true that exploring mountains and nature is so difficult when you want to deep dive into nature. But in my observation so far in China or especially in Beijing, you have the finest tracks to explore the extreme wild nature without too many difficulties. The transportation through these mountains and the available supplies into the deeper valleys will not make you lost from the world at all. At the farthest point of the mountain, you can find the temple of the relic of the Chinese culture.
Besides, a strong mobile connection will always keep you connected to your family wherever you go or wherever you lost in nature. Though the outside of Beijing may be the scenario can be very difficult, especially the desert can be deadly for such exploration, but we are supposed to explore the nature with lives not like the deadly desert.
Actually, my plan was not to enter into these scenic parks as I was quite late to go there and mountain climbing needs m, such more time and energy which was not appropriate for me that day. But what I explored from the outside of that area is that I am going to enter into the deeper area and climb some of these mountains in the near future.
Also, there I saw some native people who were selling their local products covers some kinds of fruits and vegetables, eggs, and some drinks. I didn't buy except some drinks as the area is tiring as the altitude of this area is higher than the normal area where I live.
The place was really a very satisfying one as the surrounding was just like in the deep in the forest and the air was so good o breathe in. Thought he high altitude was a little bit troublesome if you are doing excessive cardio-type hiking.
I came back with a great memory of this place with such amazing beauty of these mountains. Though I haven't gone so far into the deeper section of the area but I am sure that I will come back again with more time to explore into the deeper section of the beautiful scenic area. The alongside road is also very beautiful that will give you a great ride in the nature in this northern region of the Huairou district of Beijing Municipal.
I hope you like my photos of the beauty of the mountains, river, and the green forestry area with blue sky. It was an amazing experience to have such a fantastic place like this, with the discovery of natural beauty, to enjoy my Beijing life! If you have any queries, let me know in the comments, and I will try my best to answer them.
Thanks a lot for your time and attention. I will catch up with you at the next one.
Wish you a great weekend!
