The greenway of Qiangu Creek is full of aura and has a lot of personality.
During the summer vacation in early August, my brother-in-law and a fellow villager and old colleague Man Hong took advantage of the opportunity of the teacher's summer vacation to take their children about 10 years old to Qingyuan for vacation as mothers. His wife, who is also a middle school teacher, was so happy that she decided to accompany them for a few days. The wife's plan was to visit one attraction every day. Qingyuan is a strong tourist city with many scenic spots, and the first thing his wife thought of was to take them to visit Bijia Mountain and explore Shanggu Creek.
Originally, my sister-in-law came by car, but considering that she was not familiar with the road up the mountain and the road was not easy to walk, we decided to let her and her car take a break, so I became their driver.
Beacon Hill is a forest farm, with mountain peaks and deep forests. Every day, there is an endless stream of vehicles of all sizes going up the mountain. The road leading to Beacon Hill is nearly 20 kilometers of two-lane cement road, but it is narrow and has nine twists and eighteen bends, especially the section of the road at the foot of the mountain has fallen into disrepair due to a long time, with potholes, and passing vehicles are all swaying forward, and from time to time they fall into puddles. On such a road, people are happy to drive the car and circle up, what is the intention? In fact, the answer is very simple: the tourists who come by tour bus are for sightseeing, swimming, and rafting, while the locals are only for three things: or leisure exploration, or take mountain spring water, or eat mountain chicken, and taste mushroom feast.
Without exception, today, we drove up Beacon Hill for these three things, and none of them were left behind: exploring, fetching water, and eating chicken. I can't remember how many times I've been on Beacon Mountain, and I've been on the same tour as a host, and I'm just as happy to take photos for guests, but this time I learned something from the adventure.
We chose to explore, the name of the place of exploration is Qiangu Creek, as the name suggests, Qiangu is everywhere deep valleys, deep valleys.
Located in the Beacon Hill Resort, Thousand Valley Creek, known as the King of Adventure, has long been famous. The adventure trail up the stream is the canyon, sandwiched between two mountains, flanked by lush green hills, and in the middle of the canyon is a walkway and a cool stream that gurgles down. Tracing the river adventure, you can see everywhere the love of the wooden bridge, the valley of the spring, the Bailian waterfall, the 100-meter wooden path and the magnificent stone road, pontoon, soft ladder, chain bridge, pontoon, zipline, and other amusement facilities.
In the deep valley of the halfway mountainside to set up a dam and form a deep lake with green water, the bottom of the green lake is the rafting supreme - Beacon Mountain Qinglong Gorge drifting, lose this lake water naturally there is no drifting of Beacon Mountain.
The trees on both sides of the river are clear and dense, and the sound of birds chirping and pheasants clucking can be heard from time to time in the dense forest, and the sound is subtle and crisp, allowing people to truly enjoy the sound of nature. The stream is more active, and it flows along the slightly sloping path, telling passers-by with its roaring sound what it means to be endless; From time to time, it rushes down from the cliff, forming one after another Bailian waterfalls, and its super-imaginative masterpieces show that the galloping sea is the goal, but the process and every detail of the activity cannot be ignored. The sidewalks of the canyon are also different from the general mountain roads, and people walk on them, walking through a section of mountain and stone roads, which are either pebbles, mud and sand water, or all kinds of small bridges and plank roads. In the hot summer, people often play barefoot when walking on the muddy and sandy water, and the cool and pleasant feeling is different.
Walking on the tightrope bridge, crossing the single-plank bridge, walking on the basket bridge, climbing the spider rope, climbing the ladder, carrying the swing frame, almost every danger, I have not missed the pass, and from time to time I run to the front to take pictures for them. Whether it was climbing or climbing, the two children always ran in front, so to take pictures of them, I had to surpass them, and I had to walk in front of them to demonstrate how to climb some dangerous things.
In my opinion, the most delightful thing is the way down the mountain. Walking on this turquoise greenway, the mood is particularly comfortable. Compared to the vast forest of Beacon Mountain, each of us seems too small. It is precisely because we are in the vast forest that we have such a love for green. The road, just in the middle of the mountainside of the dense forest, there are dirt roads, as well as a variety of man-made exploration roads, plank roads are of course indispensable, walking on the footsteps of Ding Ding Dongdong, will inevitably give you a feeling of emptiness. Of course, the coolest thing is to walk on the stilted building-style boardwalk, it does not have the risk of the plank road, but it is better than the plank road is secluded, and it is a little itchy. In the middle of this kind of greenway, I couldn't refuse the enchanting deep greenery around me, so I had to take out my camera and let these intoxicating greenery with endless aftertaste be ingested into the camera, and then slowly watch and savor it when I got home.
Looking down on the green water lake formed by the dam below on the greenway halfway up the mountainside, it is a beautiful scenery: a green belt is tied to the strong and thick waist of the green mountain, which is particularly dazzling. The further down the trail we went, the thicker and darker the green belt became.
Along the green water lake, there are two long bamboo benches on the greenway not far away, we sat on the bamboo benches and rested for a while, and then slowly descended the mountain and walked out of the Qiangu Creek Adventure Zone, which is nearly three kilometers long, and the journey is about one and a half hours.
Leaving Qiangu Creek, we drove down the road and fetched spring water on the way; Further down the Bijia Mountain Forest Chicken Restaurant ate mountain chicken, swam in the private bath of the free restaurant, and after playing for a long time, the two children were full of interest. It wasn't until half past four in the afternoon that we reluctantly left Beacon Hill.
In this trip to Beacon Mountain, Qiangu Creek Adventure, we crossed the pontoon bridge, took the pontoon boat, took the zipline, climbed the soft ladder, pedaled the iron cable, climbed the rock, and walked through the dense forest, and enjoyed the gift of nature to the fullest. But what I experienced the most and what made me remember the most was the greenway of Qiangu Creek, a vibrant and aura green road.
