"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to Tiger Mountain." This sentence first came from the Ming Dynasty Yu Yunshi's "Records of the Measurement River", and later commented on the artist Wang Shaotang when he said "Wusong", interpreting it into a well-known aphorism for women and children. This morning, knowing that it was raining, we also went to see the "tiger" and went to the "tiger" British country park to see.
Qifeng City Park Plaza
Before this, I have been to Qifeng Park many times, and I have also seen Huying Country Park along the way, but the difference and connection between the two are not clear, and today I want to find out. Before going out, look at the weather, these days have been forecasting rain, Baidu's results are consistent with the clouds shrouded in the sky, 70% probability is that it will rain at eleven or two o'clock; Looking at the map, from the spread out urban map, these two parks are located on the Yellow Flag Mountain running northwest and southeast, but separated by an S-shaped Cuifeng Road, the northwest side has the Guanyin Ancient Temple for the Yellow Flag City Park, the southeast direction is larger, more peaks are Huying Country Park, fortunately there are several exquisite overpasses on Cuifeng Road, so that people visiting the park can come and go at will.

Huangqi Mountain, also known as Zushan Mountain and Wenbi Peak, is 189 meters above sea level, resembling a flag exhibition, formerly known as "Huangling" in the Tang Dynasty, and has always been a holy place for Dongguan people to spring travel, step on the green and climb high. Especially known to the world because it ranks first among the "Eight Scenic Spots of Dongguan", the first sentence of the Dongguan folk song of the Ming Dynasty is "hanging lanterns on the Yellow Flag Mountain". Legend has it that there was a thousand-year-old banyan tree on the top of Yellow Flag Mountain, and because of its long empty heart, fireflies all over the mountains flew to the tree hole at night to perch, and the insects were so bright that they looked like lanterns from afar. Today, the huge red lantern on the top of the mountain, although it was made by today, but it follows the legend and allows the miracle of "hanging lanterns on Yellow Flag Mountain" to be reproduced. On Huangqi Mountain, there is the Guanyin Ancient Temple built in the Song Dynasty, where incense is flourishing, and the festival is celebrated every year, and tourists are crowded. There are still ancient wells in the foothills, called "Lian Quan", and it is said that drinking this spring water can make people become honest and guarded. Historically, it became a gathering place for literati and scholars, leaving many wonderful poems. Another book records that Huangqi Mountain is actually Daling Mountain in south-central Dongguan, not in the urban area of Dongcheng, which was called Huanggongling in ancient times. This is just a passing sentence, far from what we can verify.
Lanterns are hung on Yellow Flag Mountain
We got off the bus at Cuifeng Road Station, saw that there was an intersection going up the mountain, walked a few steps quickly, and asked the person in front how to get to Huying Park? The middle-aged couple enthusiastically informed: "Follow the road in front of the left, half an hour." The lady who was walking in front looked back and said, "Just follow us." "After we thanked us, we followed the fast walk for a while, then slowed down. They come here on weekends to work out, and we wanted to take a closer look and learn more.
Crowded with tourists
The mountains and waters are beautiful, the forests are abundant, the layers of verdant, fresh and pleasant, Huying Park is a lush forest, a natural oxygen bar. We walked along a gentle and undulating road around the mountain on the north side of the foothills, and as far as the eye could see, there was greenery: green trees, green mountains, green lakes, and blooming flowers. Perhaps historically because of the state-run forest farm, although the mountain is misty and foggy, the water vapor is thick, but there is no barbaric scene of ancient trees stretching across and slanting out of the side, more tall trees, green branches and green leafy shrubs, roadsides, waterside everywhere can be seen are anemone, alocasia (commonly known as dripping water guanyin), crape myrtle, Brazilian iris and so on. This weekend, there is an endless stream of people who come here, some walk briskly, run fast, stroll leisurely, stop and go, bring families to bring family to parent-child travel, let children get close to nature; Walking together may be a calm mind, which is conducive to communication in the green ocean.
Great view of the park
Along the way, I was also moved and thought. On this weekend, the students of Donghua Middle School collected waste and garbage along the way, and sometimes several people held hands to pick up a plastic bottle on the steep slope of the hill, looking at the light yellow vest with the words "Canglan Class 41 Youth Volunteers", naturally praising these cute children. Every few tens of meters of road, you can always see a stone tablet of different shapes standing on the side of the road, a few brief words on it, recording the past Dongguan created one after another "national first", Dongguan from a traditional agricultural county, quickly rose to an international manufacturing city, out of a remarkable "Dongguan Road", carved stone display, remember history, is also an inspiration and inspiration for future generations. I thought it was a really good idea, but it was necessary to stick to it as it was, and some of the firsts in the last six or seven years could not be absent. I don't know if it's because the trees on the side of the road cover the sky, or if I am too involved in viewing the flowers, and I don't know if it rains.
Volunteers, middle school students
Madame's reminder, the crisp sound of the roadside children exclaiming that it was raining, I felt that the rain was getting tighter and tighter, and on the surface of Huying Lake not far away, the dense raindrops blended with the lake, impacting into pieces of splashes, and rippled slightly... Rainfall continued unabated, and water flowed in the recesses. People around them held up their umbrellas and quickened their pace. We also trotted out in a hurry, choosing the nearest exit to leave. Follow the tips given by Baidu and quickly come to a platform in the north of Huying Park, where the public transport facilities are enough to shelter from the wind and rain, and you can also sit and rest. In the cloudy sky, there was a roar of thunder, the rain poured down, the wide asphalt road formed a stream of water, the passing vehicles, hurriedly splashed the rain into flying flowers, presumably the people in the car are also in a hurry to go home! The most pleasant thing is the palms, sunflowers and trees on both sides of the road, they dance happily, even if the storm knocks off a few leaves, a few stamens, it seems that they don't care, still enjoy the baptism and purification of the spring rain...
Cuifeng Road, trees and flowers in the rain
When the bus arrived, we looked back at Huying Country Park that gradually disappeared in the rain curtain through the window, although the fun was not ending, but think about it, a long-lost happy rain, so that the trees, flowers, seedlings on the vast land of a hearty bath, will definitely grow more vigorous and spirited, renewed, vibrant Wanyi land, isn't it the spring beauty that people are looking forward to?
