Huairou is a beautiful place to live, and it feels like living in a secret park in Beijing's Huairou District. The rest of the city is busy, but Huairou is a quiet spots that offer untouched natural beauty surrounding whole region. These are havens of peace where rolling hills, calm lakes, and lots of grass make a dream for people who want to relax in the nature. Today, I want to talk about one of the beauty that a less well-known place near the city are, the small hills by the lakeside area near Huairou's city center.
Huairou is an area with a lot of differences in nature in various seasons. It is also a city area with the wild area also. It has markets, shops, and housing buildings in the city center, but if you walk a short distance outside of that, you can find yourself in a beautiful natural area. The place I have visted is the lakeside area where I like to visit quite often. There are lots of trees around this area, which is hidden between the city and the huge Huairou Reservoir. In my last blog, I talked about the area's dusty, sand-filled air. Today, I'd like to talk about the area's true character: a rich, green heaven that comes alive in the spring and summer season.
When I have visted the area it was not full spring so I have seen the dry wintery touch in the one side and the spring green lushes on the other side. Especially yhe hill area is covered with the green trees in that area. The area is not so large but it is very beautiful There is proper stairs with metal railing for hiking up to the hill's top area to explore the whole surrounding area in a fantastic way. There is a small shade structure on the top area which is resembling the traditional building construction of the Chinese history.
The unique thing about the hill is that is is very easy to get to. You don't have to do this for a whole day or bring climbing tools. The peaceful lake is located just by the the hill. It is also linked to the bigger Huairou Reservoir, which can be explored from the top of the hill. On clear days, the lake reflects the sky's bright blue color making the scenery even more beautiful. But that day the weather was not so supportive for stunning views of the lake.
Even though the area is beautiful all year, spring and early summer make it even more so. The hills and water come to life after the cold winter. There is soft pink flowering on the cherry and peach trees, and new green covers the ground. People can connect with nature and with each other there.
The thing that hits me most about this place is how well it heals. Some days I need to clear my mind by going for a walk here. The simple beauty of the scenery, like the way the sun shines on leaves and the sound of winds heal me.
Unlike overdeveloped vacation spots, this simple lakeside makes me so soothing. It is a place where nature is valued and not used for profit as it is completely free to enter.
Places like this are very important in this current world where towns keep growing. This lakeside area is more than just a pretty background for the people who live in Huairou to enjoy nature. The hill and lakeside beauty of Huairou show that you don't have to go far to find such natural scenic beauty.
I hope you like my photos of the Spring beauty of Huairou lakeside hill, where I live. This area will definitely soothe anyone's heart with its excellent natural beauty and the serenity of the large lake and green lushes. 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.
Thanks a lot for your time and attention. I will catch up with you at the next one.
Wishing you a good day!
I took all the photos, and these are my own property.
