It is thrilling when you discover some beautiful places all of a sudden, and it makes you so happy for that exploration. For that reason, I love cycling around the Huairou district where I live, which is the 2nd largest district in Beijing Municipality. And I often discover some places that make me stop there and explore the natural scenic views and enjoy the beauty that is always thrilling for a nature lover like me. The last weekend, I have not gone anywhere, I mean no scenic spot was on my schedule as I wanted to take some rest after a busy week. But after sleeping and resting half of the day I planned to go for a cycling season which is one my favourite outdoor activity.
So, after I took my launch at an outside Muslim restaurant, as the launch time in China is around 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, I set out from my room around 2 pm. So, I had to take a launch outside and I took my bicycle for a long session, at least three hours of my plan from 3/3:30 to 6:30/7 pm. And I chose a different route that cover the surrounding area of the Huairou city lake or the Hairou Rservoir but not the city side but the opposite side of the city.
The spot is filled with so many tall green trees that make an umbrella-like deep green canopy that prevents the sunlight from reaching the ground. The summer afternoon became quite cold and soothing here and I found many families were ling in the ground of the area to enjoy their weekend here. I have also found some visitors were catching fish in the river on the other side of the green canopy, but I think there are not so many fish in the river in my observation. They were just passing their weekend afternoon with their hobby.
I have tried my bicycle around one hour to reach to this green canopy spot which can be seen from the road on which I was riding. And I was stopped there and started exploring the area by walking there after putting my bike locked there. Though the area is not under any public park or scenic spot but it is a beautiful place that is also liked by many visitors. And the number of visitors were higher if I compare the size with the conventional scenic spots in Huairou.
The weather was cloudy and sometimes shiny but not like heavily cloudy or heavily brighter with excellent deep blue sky. But the location was quite far from the city do the air quality was fantastic with very comfortable weather for my cycling session.
I have paid a good walking session there and saw the fishing activity of the visitors very closely. And I found that there were no busy fish with the fishing hooks of the people. But the weather and the scenic place made these people spend their whole day in a lazy fishing activity without any hesitation.
In conclusion, I can say that discovering such beautiful places on your way to a cycling route is a thrilling experience when you have some extra time to explore the undiscovered beauty. And also such scenic places can be a greatly suitable place for having a break after cycling for a long period.
I hope you like my photos of the beautiful natural scenic views in Hauirou wild area and its excellent natural serenity in such a great time of the year. The weather was so comfortable and the excellent air quality was also enjoyable, making it a great time to explore nature as my outdoor activity. If you have any queries, let me know in the comments, and I will try my best to answer them as much as I can afford.
