Mom and Dad have been thinking about it for a long time and want to go out and play, they are not very demanding, and it is very satisfying to walk around the suburbs and eat a meal of rainbow trout.
So at the end of the summer, I took advantage of my spare time after work and drove them out for a walk.
Before the coveted Huairou Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall at the foot of the characteristic homestay Yijie Resort Hotel under the Yiyun Rural Residence No. 26 courtyard and No. 27 courtyard, a small courtyard belonging to the guests themselves, you can bask in the sun, or even barbecue, room decoration style Each courtyard is different, some Mediterranean style, some are pastoral style, how good it is to live in such a place to spend a leisurely weekend. Put a picture and you can feel it first.
So choose to play the place around the Yijie Resort Hotel, the water Great Wall parents went last year and did not want to go this year, next to the Lotus Mountain Forest Park, the map looks next to each other, but the scenic entrance is on the west side, and the hotel in its southeast direction, try to navigate, it takes an hour and a half to drive, basically around the Lotus Mountain Forest Park turned around, decisively gave up. Later chose the Hongluo Temple, just in the way from the city to the hotel, and the Hongluo Temple is so famous, but has not been there, I heard that it is still quite beautiful, parents are older and can not visit too big scenic spots, Hongluo Temple is suitable.
The destination is ready, so let's go.
Weekday morning staggered peak travel road conditions is much better, drive to the Hongluo Temple took a little more than an hour, only 11 o'clock, or better, eat early and play early.
In the vicinity searched for a good reputation of the stove fish, really good business ah, so light days the door are full of cars, noon late no seat, I heard that the weekend need to book, otherwise you can't eat. The taste is really good, the ingredients are really thick, but it is not worth queuing up to eat, after more people, the pasta is very slow, about 100 yuan per capita. I guess that there are so many stove fish around, casually looking at the cleaner and healthier, the taste is similar.
The parking lot of Hongluo Temple is not worried about parking spaces at all, most of them are empty, I really like to travel on weekdays, all kinds of cool.
Hongluo Temple ticket adult 54 yuan, parents over 60 years old can buy half price, but to bring a valid ID (old age certificate or ID card), the ticket is the autumn ginkgo yellow day Day Daxiong Treasure Hall photo, it can be seen that autumn is indeed very beautiful, we came a little earlier.
Hongluo Temple is famous, it is a thousand-year-old giant brake with a history of more than 1600 years, and it enjoys a very high reputation and status in Buddhism, and it is conceivable to hear that "there is Putuo in the south and Hongluo in the north".
Come to Hongluo Temple to leave a "visit here" photo here, right? It is estimated that there are so many people that they can't queue up on the weekend, and now there is no one.
Hongluo Temple is a treasure of feng shui, backed by Hongluo Mountain and south of Hongluo Lake. The famous tree in front of the Great Male Treasure Hall is still very green in the male and female ginkgo trees that are more than 1100 years old, and it is said that the male trees bloom in the spring and do not bear fruit in the autumn, while the female trees do not bloom in the spring and are fruitful in the autumn, so the magical husband and wife tree. The Daxiong Treasure Hall is dedicated to Amitabha Buddha and Shakyamuni, followed by the Three Holy Temples, dedicated to Amitabha, Guanyin, and Dashizhi Bodhisattva.
Hongluo Mountain Guanyin Temple is even more famous than the Daxiong Treasure Hall below, it takes two and a half hours to climb more than 1,000 steps, my parents are too tired to leave in the pavilion halfway up the mountain, the staff advised us: Young people go up to ask for a tall man, do you old people go up? I didn't look at it either. Yes, it is said that the Guanyin Temple of Hongluo Temple is very spiritual, saying "male Yonghe, female red snail", there is always an endless stream of people to worship, and some people say that they worship once pregnant, and some people say that they can be pregnant with friends, which is too scary, I don't want to get pregnant before marriage, nor do I burn incense to worship Buddha, I really just come to play. Look at the scenery halfway up the mountainside, the visibility is not good enough, it is estimated that you can't see the particularly beautiful mountain view when you climb up, and your parents will go down after a while.
Malu, also known as a millipede, this is not a centipede Oh, females can grow 750 feet, the world's most legged creatures. They don't bite, curl up into a disc when attacked, but they also secrete poisonous gases and stink. It is said that if you eat them by mistake, you will have lip allergies, and I don't think anyone will want to eat them.
Spotted wax cicadas, very common, commonly known as flower girls, like ailanthus trees, but can also be seen in the poplar and plane trees around us, the whole body is gray-brown, there are polka dots on the wings, and the base is bright red when spreading its wings, which is beautiful, but it is a pest.
It usually grows on stone walls or rocks next to hillside roads, and is used to stop bleeding, disperse stasis, detoxify, and treat bruises.
Five hundred Luohan Garden is still worth seeing, 500 statues of Luohan carved by bluestone in real proportions are distributed in 20 hectares of pine forest, the center is a 5-meter-high White Jade Buddha, here is a large group of art sculptures, I still like this place, my parents are not interested.
These 500 arhats are really hard to remember, just the following good memorable -- Attainment Karma Venerable, yes, I did not typo the word, it is karma, not marriage, the Buddhists call good deeds and good deeds karma.
Well, just go straight to the homestay, there is a turtle pond at the exit, and many people throw coins into it to pray for blessings.
From here to The Yijie Resort is about 40 minutes by car, the place to stay is not here, very close, 2 minutes by car. Check-in procedures are to be done here, the design of the lobby feels very stylish, reminding me of those homestays in Yunnan, where I really have a holiday mood.
Needless to say, I'm really a little hungry, why am I still hungry after eating so much at noon. Next to the front desk is a large restaurant, which can accommodate 10 large tables at the same time, and there are about 8 tables in the courtyard outside. We ate their special "egg dumpling pot", the upper layer is egg dumplings and wild boar meat, around a circle of organic tofu, the lower layer is full of wild shoots, the taste is really unexpectedly delicious, there is a taste of childhood, because when I was a child, my grandmother often made egg dumplings for me to eat, and now my grandmother is also confused in her 90s, and she can no longer cook but needs to be taken care of by others, far away, I want to say that it is really delicious, delicious taste. There are two sets, small pot with 4 cold dishes, large pot with six cold dishes, I think we have enough of a small pot for three people, the big pot is really much.
Eat and drink enough to quickly come to see our small courtyard - Yiyun Township No. 26 courtyard, the village road must be slow to drive, because I don't know if it will suddenly come out of people or animals, and there is no sign outside the courtyard, on the road can not see the opening too fast easy to miss. I wonder if there is no parking space, I can only park my car at the base of the courtyard wall, although it is really safe here (don't ask me how I know, I will tell you that one night there was no lock of the car), because the people who come here are basically self-driving, a separate courtyard is two rooms, that is, you can live in two families, if you drive two cars to how to park ah? It doesn't seem very convenient to park your car at the front desk.
The walls of the courtyard are decorated with warm tones of earth yellow, Mediterranean-style pools and stone chairs, planted with some monthly seasons, and a persimmon tree, barbecue grill and kitchen for guests to use, especially for life.
Open the glass door, inside are the left and right two rooms, the room is also yellow and white tones, the bed is raised, including the bed and sofa area, you can find your favorite place to sit on the floor, fully enjoy a kind of unrestrained leisurely life.
The half-height wall separates the bed area from the bathing toilet area, and the cross-section of the wall can also be used as a bar counter, which is both beautiful and practical. The sink is placed outside, the toiletries are fully equipped, and the important point is that the bedding is super comfortable and it is drowsy to lie down.
Such a small resort does not want to go out to visit the attractions, just want to drink tea in the courtyard, chat, have a full meal, and then have a good dream, and spend one leisurely day after another to escape the city.
