It is a great opportunity for me to live in the Huairou district, one of the largest districts in the Beijing Municipality, which allows me to explore the nature from very close. The location of this district is in the northern mountains that create a close relationship between the district the nature. Besides, this mountain region of the Huairou District is home to so many scenic spots which I have already written about in my previous blogs. These attractions are great place to explore the natural beauty, and your time will be well spent in the entire area. In my recent weekend in the last of the October, I have a great visit to the west mountain range of the district and from the mountain peak, I have explored the beauty of the surrounding area including the northern mountains, the city area and the excellent views of the Yanqihu lake which is really breathtaking.
I have never been to this deeper mountains area before and from the top of the mountains the surrounding area looks so stunning that I have stopped at various location on the hiking trail on the mountains and tried to capture the scenic beauty from different angle. It was an unbelievable journey to discover such beauty of the area from the mountains top. Before the upcoming winter season, this is a great time to explore the area though still the full fall was absent there so I have found the greenliness at the start of declining state which will be gone within a months.
There are many mountains in the area and the area of the whole scenic spot is so large that I ahve covered only some specific area from where I was able to take some scenic shot of the surrounding beauty. When I reached almost at the top area, I was shocked by so many tourists as I found very less people to this area when I have visited the ground area near the Yanqi Lake Scenic area. Beacuse of the weekend and the upcoming fall beauty I saw so many people in this area to explore the scenic beauty there though fall beauty was still missing in the area.
When I have clijmbed to the top area of the trails which are designed to proper exploration of the area, I saw many people going out of the railing to climb the peak as the trailing path was not at the peak but around 20-30 meter down from the peak, but I didn't go outside as I think the view I can get from the stairs is much better and closer than the peak of the surrounding area. I can cover the western, northern and eastern area properly, as the southern side was the mountain itself. I always enjoy such beautiful scenic area but these views from the mountians have different charm which is more healing with the peaceful beauty of these area.
I have explored the western mountains region which is the completely wild forest area and there are only mountains and mountains without any habitats or city area, may be some villages can be found but in the figure you can feel there is no building except in the horizon to thos area. The northen section is the Yanqi lake and there are some city are of the Miyun district and after that area you can find the mountains again. This area is the perfectly visible form the peak where I have stood for taking these beautiful shots with my phone and 200 mm lense extender to get the close looks of the views.
The eastern section is the Huairou city area and I can see my institutes building from this mountains top which is almost 10 km away from the location of the mountain range. So, you can easily understand the excellent air quality of the day so I can clearly see more than 50 km from the mountian top. The surrounding eye-cathingbeauty was really so soothing and healing for me to enjoy. It is a great experience to explore the down earth from the mountain top.
I hope you like my photos of the beautiful surroundings from the top of the Yanqihu West Mountains Range in the Mountains Region of the Huairou district with these amazing scenic views in the afternoon. It was an amazing experience to explore such a fantastic natural scenic place like this, with the discovery of natural beauty, including everything you want to explore, to enjoy my Beijing life! Furthermore, the favourable weather with clean air and clear blue sky made these views more beautiful and more soothing, with healing power for removing the stress that we get in our daily work routine.
