Today, taking advantage of the Qingming Festival holiday, I took a short trip with my daughter's family to the commune at the foot of the Great Wall in Beijing. The commune at the foot of the Great Wall is located at the foot of the Shuiguan Great Wall, more than an hour's drive from downtown Beijing and close to the Badaling Great Wall. (Original)
The car drove into the rural road of Yanqing Shifo Village, where there are no high-rise buildings, what is presented in front of you is surrounded by mountains, quaint village homestays, the air emits the afterscent of food, and the cars going up and down the mountain are shuttling back and forth on the road.
Although it is a Four-month day on earth, the bare trees here can not find a single green leaf, and the contemporary buildings are hidden among the trees. Built by 12 of Asia's top architects, these buildings are forward-thinking holiday villas, each with a very different architectural style: bamboo house, forest hut, little monster house, red house, chase shop... These names are unique.
Bamboo house, built on a narrow mountain rock, with a large number of bamboo will be traditional Chinese architectural style and Japanese architecture sense of space organic combination, the biggest highlight of the house is separated by fine bamboo "tea room", when you leisurely taste the faint aroma of tea, look up through the window can see the Great Wall beacon.
We live in the forest cottage a total of 3 bedrooms, built with local materials, with transparent glass inlaid in the middle of the wooden board, forming an overall vertical distribution, through this novel way of construction, let people visually see the sense of having different views, resulting in the scenery with people to move effect, the simple design of the house is not simple, the whole house with warm bright yellow lighting, giving people a sense of comfort of full relaxation.
As night falls, the light through the room echoes with a series of street lamps, like the stars scattered in nature, sparkling.
This holiday is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and in the quiet and natural environment of the commune at the foot of the Great Wall, it is a very meaningful experience to climb the ancient Great Wall and enjoy the apricot blossoms.
