I like to play in the mountains, I have been to a few cities in the field to travel, but that kind of opportunity is not a lot. Although the outside world is wonderful, but the hometown of the scenery is not inferior, the natural landscape is unique, known as "Saiwai Su Hangzhou" reputation, which I am proud of.
In recent years, the government has changed all the dirt roads in the small town into asphalt or cement roads, which not only allows vehicles to flow freely, but also brings convenience to pedestrians. I will use some time every year, in addition to visiting the scenic areas around the small town, usually, a free time, on the bike along those roads to casually roam, through the exercise, but also can enjoy the scenery along the way. Xiushui Scenic Area, Ten Mile Embankment, Sisters Bridge, Street Garden, and Welcome Plaza are all places I often visit. When I have enough time, I can walk farther, time is short on walking closer, sometimes alone, sometimes about one or two companions to walk together. Each excursion is free to choose the walking route, no matter which route, the road encountered beautiful scenery will stop to watch, those landscapes, although admired countless times, but still not enough to appreciate, let me linger, because the road scenery is with the change of the seasons and different. Spring, bright spring, grass and trees budding; summer, willow, flowers; fall, the earth paved gold, opulent; winter, silver, icy clean. I love to travel in the spring, summer and autumn seasons, the number of trips in winter is reduced accordingly, because of the cold weather, cycling in the wind and snow will be very difficult to walk, this season in our northern cities, it is not suitable for cycling tour.
Ten Mile Causeway
From the southern end of the causeway to the north slowly walking, all the way to the view, breathing fresh air, the heart rose a burst of nameless excitement. This dike is repaired in the Yalu River, and the river bridge was built in 1999, the project is relatively large. Back then, a relentless flood will be the original wooden bridge washed away, the river over the embankment, washed away the crops on the west bank of the river and a number of houses, the people suffered serious losses. After the flood, the government will be the original embankment re-construction, both sides with large stone inlays, the surface is also covered with wire mesh, concrete pavement, very strong. The newly built embankment is both tall and wide, and it is very comfortable to bike around on it. According to experts, the life of the dike is more than 50 years. With such a dike guard, and then in case of floods, the people of the small town can rest easy.
With the footsteps forward, the scene in front of us is like a movie screen constantly changing. The dike on both sides of the only a few years of small elm trees grow tall, thin branches fluffy, is a warm welcome to my arrival it. Standing on the embankment and looking around, there is a boundless sea of green in the river loop under the embankment. It is a world of grass, trees and birds. There are many kinds of trees, the most poplar, elm, willow, and some santalum, thick seasonal seeds and other miscellaneous trees. Poplar tree is tall, snow-white poles crowded one by one, thick green branches and leaves cover the sky, with the swaying posture of the leaves issued by Sydney Sydney, swish, swish, swish, swish, pleasant ringing sound, like in the music of the Holy Scripture. And the period of the elm tree and poplar tree shoulder to shoulder high, but the branches and trunks are bent, disjointed, covered with strips of texture, century-old elm is more like the vicissitudes of life of the old man, which a plant that one of the plants standing on the river bank. Willow tree branches hanging in a mass of green leaves of plants, during the hidden countless small red fruits, like an enlarged ball of color, at first I really doubt that the willow flowers, look carefully, it turned out to be holly, this plant is evergreen, there is a bird called holly, specializing in pecking holly berries. Occasionally, you can also see the nests on the high branches, the hard work of the birds and amazing creativity that I admire. They take twigs, leaves, feathers and reeds in bite-sized pieces and build them up little by little to create those beautiful and cozy houses, most of which resemble baskets, and the ovoid ones resemble coconuts. In the forest, flocks of birds chirped and flew up and down the branches, most of which I could not name. Meadow wandering cattle and sheep, from time to time came moo ...... baa ...... call, nowadays, people and life is getting better and better, livestock eat and drink enough, go to the meadow to enjoy the blessings of cleanliness, with the song to show their inner joy. Dry rainy season, the Yalu River water from the mainstream part of the river and divided into a number of tributaries, seven * eight *, curved, silver light in the sunlight, like a huge ink painting, but also like a fairy from the air thrown down the silk scarf. Away from the river bank, the beach is scattered with a piece of creek, there are ducks and geese in it happily playing in the water, catching and eating small fish and frogs. Standing on the embankment looking west, the distant mountains undulating, soft lines, forming a semicircle, the small town closely embraced. Along the roots of the mountains are scattered with village houses, smoke curls up and clouds linger. In front of the village square farmland yellow and green, rows of cream-colored vegetable greenhouses in a neat and orderly manner. Heh! What an idyllic scene. The foot of this embankment said ten miles, see the road sign shows that the full length **** there are more than twenty miles, it is as majestic as a dragon lying on the banks of the Yalu River, next to the Yalu River has become a bright landscape.
Unconsciously traveling to the end of the embankment, came to a lake, through the gaps in the trees, vaguely visible a large red bridge shadow, feet into the bridge, hand touching the curved moon like the bridge railing, and look down on the bridge under the bright as a mirror of the lake, as if to the fairyland in general. The bridge is chic, bright red bridge body lying on the blue water, such as the sky flying a rainbow, so this bridge is called "Rainbow Bridge". Here is the Xiushui Scenic Area, look up and look out, the hill looms orange-colored pavilion, in the green bushes, very eye-catching, that is looking at the view pavilion, people stand in the pavilion on the south, the whole small town in full view, curved river is a piece of oasis, the city outside the city high-rise buildings, highway cars on the busy, a trip to the distant railroad tracks train to the north and south, in front of the landscape is breathtaking. Due to the steepness of the mountain, it is very difficult to ride a bicycle up the mountain, so stop here. I turned around and went back along a road next to the embankment. On both sides of the road, the tall trees stretch out their long arms to say goodbye to us, but also for the tourists set up an arched pergola, walking in the middle of a very pleasant feeling. In front of the roadway trees, there are many string of poplar last year by the tornado cut off the waist, high stumps this year and new green. But it also creates a different kind of scenery. The new branches are neat and well-proportioned, and the tender oval leaves are densely packed, forming a large bonsai. You can also imagine their posture, some like a peacock open screen, some like a squirrel wings and tails, some like a model headdress. Unconsciously, we came to a large fish pond where many people were putting out poles for fishing. The bank of a few stone tables surrounded by people, some playing mahjong, some play poker, there are gossip ...... these retirees have nothing to do to get together to enjoy the good life. This is a concrete road through the center of the city, line in this road to pass a street garden and square, square to green as a background, pairs of butterflies, bees in the flowers dance. During the embellishment, flower pools, lawn side, many visitors in a leisurely walk, some end of the camera and friends to take a picture, so that this wonderful moment to become an eternal memory. A corner of the square stood full of people, that is, the middle-aged and elderly people in the exercise with the help of sports equipment.
South Exit
Along the asphalt road through the city southbound, to the busy part of the market. The street is lined with high-rise buildings, stores, cars and people, and the market is booming. The scenery on both sides of the road is even more beautiful, willow graceful, the flower bed in the middle of the road, elm flowers are in full bloom, pink flowers, a cluster, a group of delicate, such as hibiscus out of the water. Gardens and roadsides are full of flowers, giving the impression that I have been surrounded by flowers. Come to the southern outskirts of the town, on both sides of the highway rows of brick houses are the new homes of suburban farmers. Fruit trees, green grass and flowers are planted all over in front of and behind the house, and the crops outside the courtyard are in good condition, and the `sunflower that you can't see the edge of the sunflower has dyed the earth golden, and the stalks in the cornfield that are more than one person high have already hung up three or two cobs. Not far from the south exit intersection, far from the center of the road to see a huge red Chinese knot hanging in the air, very eye-catching. On both sides there are many thick silver carved with patterns of stone pillars, some inner curiosity. Closer to see, the red Chinese knot is suspended on a towering silver Optimus Prime, looks both majestic and beautiful. Because here is out of the intersection, the road below forms a triangle, count the silver and white stone pillars *** there are 20, around the Chinese knot are arranged on both sides of the road, each stone pillar is carved with ethnic minority customs and paintings, known as totems. There are Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, Da, Ewenki, Oroqen, etc., symbolizing the great unity of 20 nationalities in the small town. Red Chinese knots and silver and white carved stone pillars appear at the end of the highway, more colorful, novel and chic. It turns out that this is the newly completed Welcome Square, the square ground are inlaid with colored bricks, planted on both sides of the small elm trees have grown vigorous leaves. Out of the intersection with the east-west direction of the 111 National Highway, the two roads form a d-shaped. Standing at the edge of the exit, back to the body to look toward the road, the road stood on both sides of the shape of a curved moon street lamps, such as the guards of the city. Some people have stood on the eastern slope of the hill at night and looked down to the Welcome Plaza, the background of which is the whole town in a sea of lights, and the bright lights make the Welcome Plaza even more colorful. Because this road is relatively far, often cycling to this very tired, it is almost to noon, back to the roadside restaurant lunch, the flavor of the snacks, corn soup, fried oil cake, millet cakes and other cheap, convenient for passers-by.
Za Mian line
Here is a section of National Highway 111, ride a motorcycle from the city south out of the intersection to the east, where there is an overpass, running under the bridge train, the bridge on the line of cars. The buses and trucks that come from the north and south run fast, and from time to time there is a train screaming from under the overpass. After the overpass, not far away from the Buddhist shrine "Vajra Temple". Into the inside to visit, the scale of the temple is not small, the main hall is a five-story hexagonal Buddha Hall, inside the thousand-handed Kuan Yin, reclining Buddha, the Three Buddhas, the eight vajra, but also hide the scripture building and so on a number of buildings. Inside the temple chime sound, smoke, wearing monk clothes and shoes of the monks in the mouth reciting words, a heart to Buddha. Out of the monastery, has been to the south, along the highway with the undulating mountain sliding, feel like being in the world. Buses and trucks from all over the country rubbed shoulders with me, and I thought that it was indeed a kind of fate for me to meet with those vehicles from all over the country only by chance once in how many years. The scenery in front of me is a sight to behold. The hills of fruit trees have been thankful for the flowers to fruit, standing on both sides of the highway with a line of small poplars, next to the camas plum blossom in full bloom, the flowers have deep pink, light pink, and white, trees and flowers for the highway inlaid with two beautiful lace. The lace stretches forward for more than a hundred miles, the scent of the flowers, let a person comfortably incomparable.
Sisters Bridge
The Yalu River runs through two bridges, which are similar in shape, one south and one north, and the two bridges are about 4 miles away from each other, which is known as the "Sisters Bridge". If you want to go from this bridge to the other bridge, you need to take a detour, and you have to walk more than 10 miles. I often rode my bike to these two bridges alone in the afternoon. After passing through the streets of downtown to the South Bridge and then setting off for the North Bridge, sometimes coming to the North Bridge first and then setting off for the South Bridge, I returned home having traveled exactly 360 degrees in an ellipse. North Bridge is by the yellow and blue colors, bright and eye-catching, the bridge stops on the beautifully carved pattern, above the arrangement of a number of equally spaced cylindrical lamp posts, each lamp post decorated with a large ball at the top of the bridge, so that the whole bridge looks beautiful and spectacular. Both ends of the bridge is a wide bridge square, the ground with colored tiles set into a variety of exquisite patterns, a line of small elms trimmed neatly into the square will be divided into trapezoidal, oval, triangular and other flower pools, full of string of red, crocus, marionettes, red, yellow, purple, blue and white, fighting for supremacy. Passing pedestrians and vehicles on the bridge, under the bridge in the clear stream, there are several people are swimming, the beach, the grass drying just washed clothes, colorful, such as floating colorful clouds. North Bridge standing in the North Bridge looking toward the river bank, a clump of branches end of the red low small trees swaying in the breeze, like a burning torch, while its branches are as white as snow, which is the bank of the river willow. River willow in the middle of a pool of water bright like who accidentally left a handkerchief. From the north bridge, through the bridge square, the road on both sides of the short type of lilac and wild roses, accompanied me all the way forward, the flowers in bunches, big purple, big red intermixed with the period of the fragrance of the flowers refreshing. Following that section of the road, this is the west part of the town, there are factories of dairy products, down, frog breeding bases, rabbit breeding bases, passing through orchards, schools, stores, and villages, where farmers are busy with their work in the fields with their farm equipment. Just in front of the farmers' houses, the trees on both sides of the asphalt road are alive with many kinds of birds. Swallows flying diagonally, sparrows chirping, and large flocks of birds perched on old trees fly up to cover the sky. There was one bird that looked beautiful one by one, with a white belly and flowery wings, and a flock of crows. Because the road is longer, walking is also very hard, especially the hot days, in order to prevent the throat dry drink, from time to time with a bottle of water, or meet the farmers driving oxcarts to sell watermelon, will buy a ready to arrive at the destination to share with friends.
Come to the South Bridge, caressing the patterned bridge railing, a long time overlooking the river under the bridge, the water in the breeze ripples like fish scales, such as children learning to paint, in the setting sun, golden, poetic.
交游，心情是快乐的，但也很辛苦，盛夏，火一样的太阳晒得人受不了，有时会遭遇到大雨的袭击，有时由于风大顶风骑车会很吃力。 Especially when it comes to voltaic days, the weather is like a child's face changing at the drop of a hat, so you can't take precautions. Once I went before, the sky is still clear, see the sky only a dark cloud, think not to prevent things, set off, but, go halfway suddenly the cloud area gradually expanded to open, and began to this side of the diffusion, only a moment of effort, the sky is cloudy down, then the lightning and thunder, it looks like it will be raining heavily, return to have been too late, had to "know that there is a tiger in the mountains, but to the tiger mountain line". I have no choice but to "know that there is a tiger on the mountain, but to go to the tiger mountain". All of a sudden the rain came, it was like a race with me, it was too late to avoid. At first, it was a sporadic downpour, then it became dense, and finally it turned into a violent storm. The rain got heavier and heavier, accompanied by gale force winds, and the rain poured down from the sky, making the road a sea of water. Unfortunately, there were no homes on that part of the road, and even the cars had taken cover. The rain poured down on my head, making me soaked to the bone and water dripped down from my head and face. Can be counted to the front of the gas station, cycling trips more than a foot of water into the inside, thinking, the gas station has a shed cover that will not be watered again, right? But the wind is raging like it will be overturned, the four sides of the shed cover on the water flow to the ground and splashed up more than one person high, splashing back to hide inside the body, at this time I was cold and shivering. The same is to hide inside the other people also with me the same encounter, we use the eyes to pay attention to each other, transferring the inner helplessness, at this time I thought of the Buddha said that Cain language, "five hundred years to repair the same boat crossing," everyone out of the door are not easy. Half an hour past, the rain gradually small, a found the road with cab action, I flew straight to the past, even people with the car on the taxi back home.
Riding on a bicycle to travel mood is happy, in the exercise of the body at the same time, but also to view the scenery along the way, through the viewing of the road scenery, understanding the changes in the small town, the heart will also be some kind of enlightenment. Nowadays, the reform and opening up, economic revitalization, the hometown's appearance is changing day by day, people's lives are rich and happy. From this I think, visit the scenery does not have to go out, around the beauty of a lot, just the lack of discovery, as long as you dare to go out of their way, willing to spend time to walk around, pay attention to everywhere, you will be able to find a satisfactory scenery.
