Qingyuan is not far, only two hours' drive from Guangzhou. The first time I went to Qingyuan, Guangdong, it was in a golden autumn.
When the car drove into Qingyuan, the mountains, rivers and fields came into view, and the mood suddenly became clear. Nature has this magical power that makes the most shy people want to sing for her.
The south is the harvest season, the autumn wind is blowing gently, and the golden rice waves are surging everywhere, shining in the sunshine. In the distance, under the blue sky, green mountains and forests, winding rivers pass through fields, villages with large and white walls are scattered among them, orchards and vegetable fields are connected, hardworking farmers work in crops, and leisurely fishermen fish by fish ponds. What a beautiful landscape and pastoral picture!
To enter Qingyuan city, you have to cross a wide river from the bridge, that is, Beijiang River. Not far away, there is a bridge, which spans the river like a harp. This is the Zhou Xin Bridge. I heard that it was just built a few years ago, and it is brightly lit every night, which is very beautiful. I can't help sketching out that charming scene in my mind, because I know that only gentle night color can deserve her peerless style.
I first came to Qingyuan Flower Town. The flowers and potted plants in the market are dazzling and eye-opening. There are all kinds of beautiful porcelain and colorful lovely goldfish, which attract girls to take pictures. What caught my attention was an archery range not far away. Maybe men were born on the battlefield, and the spirit of martial arts is engraved in their bones. At the sight of swords and halberds, their blood will boil. I walked quickly to the shooting range, holding a full-moon bow, looking at the northwest, shooting Sirius, and feeling the charm of heroes shooting sculptures on the grassland.
Out of Huacheng, I took a bus to Xiaobeijiang Pier, ready to take a boat tour of the scenery of Beijiang, which is known as the "Little Three Gorges". Autumn is warm and sunny, with clear water and blue sky. The local preserved fish, shrimp and salted duck eggs have been dried on the local specialty shop near the pier, which feels very delicious. Strips of salted fish hang on the riverbank, reminiscent of a classic line by Stephen Chow in the movie shaolin soccer: "If there is no dream, what is the difference with salted fish?"
There are many boats moored by the dock, and some yachts shuttle back and forth on the river. I can see a small fishing boat in the distance, and a fisherman in a hat is paddling on the Xiaobeijiang River. According to the tour guide, all the fishermen on the Xiaobeijiang River make a living by fishing. I watched all this quietly and remembered Fan Zhongyan's Fisherman on the River: "People come and go on the river, but they love the beauty of perch. Look at a boat, you are in the wind and rain. " Time has passed, it is undeniable that the small fishing village here has now become a beautiful business card for Qingyuan tourism.
Boarding a cruise ship, I started a water trip in Qingyuan, met Beijiang and had a romantic date with her. "The green hills on both sides of the strait are opposite, and the sails are alone." Beautiful mountains and rivers, panoramic view. Xu Lai is breezy and relaxed. That mountain, that water, that day, that ship constituted a magnificent landscape painting, which was fascinating and amazing. No wonder the banks of Beijiang River have the reputation of "Little Three Gorges". Tourists invariably took out their mobile phones and took pictures in the bright water and mountains. The beautiful Beijiang River, even the air is free. If you can't take away the wind from Beijiang River, you might as well take away the beautiful scenery you met along the way.
It was already lunch time, and the boatman prepared a sumptuous banquet for the fresh Beijiang River. According to the tour guide, you can't go to Qingyuan without visiting the Three Gorges of Beijiang River. When you visit the Three Gorges, you can't help but taste the authentic Beijiang seafood dinner. It would be a pity if there is no food to entertain at present. Therefore, on the cruise ship, the most wonderful thing is to taste the fresh banquet of Beijiang River cooked by local boatmen.
Euphemistically called "seafood feast", it is not limited to seafood. Usually, only three dishes and one soup in a table provided by boatmen are made of seafood. The food is expensive but not expensive. A few dishes are enough for people to taste the beauty of seafood. The first thing to serve is the steaming river fish tofu soup that has just been cooked. Tender, smooth and delicious, sweet and delicious. After that, the fried fish is yellow outside and burnt inside, which is very crisp and full of fisherman's original flavor; The most brilliant thing is steamed Beijiang pincer fish, which is natural in texture and delicious, without too much fancy and foil, and explains with strength that the most delicious thing in the world is Qinghuan; Boiled crabs are also good. Although it is not as big as lake crab, it is very tasty after being stewed with various seasonings, and its teeth and cheeks are fragrant. There is also a plate of authentic Qingyuan chicken at the seafood banquet. In Guangzhou, it is not easy to eat authentic Qingyuan chicken. When you come to Qingyuan, how can you let go of this crispy and tender food?
This is a time when the heart is full of entanglements. There are mouthwatering delicacies in front of the seat. Outside the window, Zhong Ling has beautiful rivers and mountains. You can't have it both ways, so you must give up. After some ideological struggle, I made a difficult decision and didn't have time to savor the unique Beijiang fresh banquet. I took a few bites to cheat my stomach, ignoring the temptation of food to my eyes, leaned out of the window and picked up my mobile phone to record the beautiful mountains and rivers. Someone reminded me to eat first, and I replied while taking pictures that I could eat rice every day, but the scenery is not seen every day. Life is like this. Know how to choose when making a choice. Just follow your heart and you won't regret it.
Just after dinner, the cruise ship came to the bank of Feilai Temple under the shadow of a mountain, and a canoe passed by, dotted with wonderful moments in the green water river. Feilai Temple is known as the first Feng Shui Temple in South Guangdong. The blue bricks paved in front of the temple are magnificent and solemn, and the heavy sense of history has attracted many devout people to make wishes here.
Over the Beijiang River, several white Jiang Niao are flying around on the water. I quickly picked up my mobile phone and recorded them in the camera. This is the meaning of travel. You can record some beautiful or interesting things with your camera when you walk.
One journey, one scene, one dream and one drunk. Be able to stand loneliness in a place where the water is gentle, and jump on it when the waves are rough. The cruise ship sailed around Feilai Temple and began to return, which also allowed the tourists on board to look at the scenery outside the window in a different direction.
After lunch, everyone ran above the deck, and they could have a panoramic view. May the world be beautiful and the soul be free. Feel bold and calm in the dignity of the mountain, and look for tenderness and sweetness in the spirituality of water. Looking at the lush mountains and trees on both sides of the strait, looking at the rippling water surface of Bijiang River, everyone was intoxicated, and they set up their own photos one after another to integrate themselves into the beautiful scenery of Bijiang Castle Peak. When they think about it later, they will go back to the original meeting.
Before, I went ashore by boat from Xiaobeijiang Wharf and went to the crowded open-air market to patrol the streets. I'm going to buy my favorite souvenirs and local products. After shopping around, everyone gained a lot. The preserved fish, shrimp skin and salted duck eggs that teased our taste buds before were collected by everyone, because these local products are not only authentic in materials, but also reasonable in price.
Go back to the parking place, have a rest, and then drive to the last scenic spot, Huangtengxia.
Huangtengxia is located in Qingcheng District, Qingyuan City, about four kilometers away from the urban area. Huangtengxia drifting is known as the "king of drifting" in the hometown of drifting. But at this time, the autumn is getting cold and not suitable for rafting, so I decided to challenge the high-altitude glass hanging gallery.
I have seen the online video of the glass plank road in Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, Hunan Province before. Many people were scared to scream, unable to walk, and even collapsed to the ground. This time, we will come to Huangtengxia, Qingyuan, and truly experience the Tianmen glass hanging gallery, which is called "the masterpiece of South China glass covered bridge". The mood is very complicated, some curious, and some uneasy.
When the bus approached Huangtengxia Scenic Area, the tour guide pointed to the building that looked like two tennis rackets not far away and said that it was a glass covered bridge, which was equivalent to160th floor above the ground. I looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough someone was walking on it, and I could see clearly through the glass.
After getting off the bus, we walked through a winding mountain road and climbed the stairs to a house shaped like a water cube under the glass bridge. This house is called Tiantangge, as the name implies, where we can pick the stars with our bare hands. We put on shoe covers at the entrance of the elevator and took the elevator to the covered bridge. Many tourists have been walking freely on the glass, and some tourists have repeatedly stepped back and stood outside the covered bridge, afraid to cross the line. At first, I was afraid to stand on the glass, because transparency works well. I can see people like ants on the ground. I feel that the glass will crack as long as I stand on it, so I'm afraid I'll fall.
It was not until a colleague volunteered, took the lead in standing up, challenged success, and encouraged everyone to stand up and take a photo together that I slowly overcame my fear and stood on tiptoe on the glass, feeling that I was suspended and afraid to open my eyes to see the scene under my feet. There are more and more tourists behind, except for a few who dare not challenge, most of them are striding on it. Some people also generously lie on the glass and pose for photos. What's more, he deliberately pretended to be scared and cooperated with his companions to shoot a funny video.
Go to the end of the glass plank road, where the scenery is beautiful and unique. The mountains are towering and undulating, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery around you from many angles. When you look at the mountain, you can see the peaks, and the distance is different. The mountains are stacked, the mountains are clear, the streams are winding and the canyons are deep. As if out of the world, hanging alone in time, through this psychedelic dream, forgetting the east, west, north and south. Above Tianmen Glass Hanging Gallery, the red logo of "Masterpiece of South China Glass Covered Bridge" is particularly eye-catching. This is really a game for the brave. If you want to see the scenery you haven't seen, you have to do something you haven't done.
After coming out of the glass covered bridge, I climbed the mountain road. A golden dragon model flew above the top of the mountain, making a low whistle from time to time. Many tourists have been standing there enjoying it, which attracted me to climb to the top of the mountain to find out, regardless of the steep mountains and roads.
Nothing is difficult to the man who will try. We won't know until we get up there. The scenic spot here is called Longtengtai. This simulated dragon is controlled by electricity, and it can make swinging movements. Coupled with the sound of dragons coming from the speaker, I feel like I am about to fly to heaven. I wonder, is the name of Huangtengxia derived from this? Isn't Huangteng Gorge the one where Huanglong flies?
It's almost time to return. I came down from the mountain with other tourists. Anyone who has climbed the mountain knows that it is easier to go down than up. Our group took their time, walked and watched, and harvested the scenery along the way with a happy mood. Huangtengxia Scenic Area is dominated by natural scenery, with beautiful mountains and beautiful flowers, winding water, strange rocks everywhere and misty peaks. The mountains are heavy and the waters are complex, the willow trees are dark and the flowers are bright, the winding path is secluded, and the scenery is infinite.
After returning to the foot of the mountain, I took some photos beside a stone engraved with three red characters "Huangtengxia" as a souvenir.
During this trip to Qingyuan, I took some photos, but there were few videos, which was a pity. The scenery has been missed, and you can look back when you have the opportunity; If you miss your life, there is no turning back.
