The autumn colors here are rippling and colorful, and the coming is shocking, from mid-September to early October the beautiful grassland a color a day!

The golden grassland is scattered with brilliant and colorful birch trees and elm trees, and the light and shadow are dynamic ......

Forests and grasslands meet, both the elegant and beautiful femininity of the south and the rugged and majestic masculinity of the north.

Friends see the first look as if in WoWu, autumn color such as fantasy, endless; accidentally found and like in northern Europe, color forest sparse and dense appropriate, river beach light and shadow overflowing, visual texture is strong.

You ask where is this?

The secret land discovered by chance: the seven-colored forest of Shenxian Valley

It's located in the border zone between Fengning Dam and Inner Mongolia in Hebei, Chengde City, Fengning County, Datan embrace, there are more than 20,000 acres. It is currently a large-scale tourist area with the highest standards, largest scale, most distinctive features and most complete infrastructure in the entire Damshang area.

From Beijing, a group of 5 people driving over about 4 hours or so. Departure of Beijing is a rainy day, rain, worry about the original plan will be disrupted, so with hope, all the way north, open the early fall dream trip.

(Unexpectedly, the seven-colored forest gave us a big surprise)

Arrived at the seven-colored forest visitor center, the left side of a large parking lot, and then forward there are three different styles of hotels, we first went to the hotel to check in.

After a short rest and lunch, it was still raining outside, so we chose to visit the indoor attractions inside the scenic area first.

Manchu Folklore Exhibition

The Damshang Grassland used to be the most frequent base of nomadic activities, and it was the favorite summer resort of the emperors of the Liao, Jin, Yuan and Qing Dynasties.

Today's Fengning County still lives a lot of Manchu people, has always wanted to understand the past and present life of the Damshang orange seeds, in this folklore exhibition, through the combination of graphics and physical objects detailed and comprehensive understanding of the historical development of the Manchu people, the process of Manchu culture, Manchu clothing culture, Manchu paper-cutting fishing and hunting and other cultures.

What surprised Orange Seed the most is that there is a piece of birch bark made of clothes and boots, a closer look, the lines are clear, tightly connected, very delicate.

Personally, I think this exhibition area is designed to be particularly meaningful, so that we can have a better understanding of the Manchu people, not in a one-sided belief in the unrealistic background assumptions of the ancient costume TV series, while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery, but also increase the knowledge, it is well worth a look.

With the sound of rain, I am looking forward to a sunny day tomorrow, although the weather forecast on my cell phone still tells me "rain tomorrow morning".

Pull open the curtains, the mountains flowing gold color, sunny, today's weather is surprisingly good, local friends said, the dam weather is like this, rain comes and goes quickly, the weather changes quickly.

Treading in a cheerful pace, wearing brightly colored dresses, full of joy to enter the scenic area again.

There are 2 paths to visit the colorful forest of Shenxian Valley:

1. From the entrance of the scenic spot, walk along the foot trestle to the innermost end, and then return by small train/battery car.

2. From the entrance of the scenic area, take the small train directly to the end of the innermost, from the inside to the outside tour (tired can also be directly at the site of the scenic area to pick up).

Recommended to choose the second, because the scenic area is too big, the most wonderful inside, save good energy.

Sitting on the forest train, our group, breathing the fresh air after the rain, in the jungle between the shuttle, exclaimed in front of the eyes to see the beauty of the gift of nature.

Cloud Pavilion

This is the end station of the forest train, get off the train and walk into the jungle tribe, the left side of the highest point is the "Cloud Pavilion". This is the highest point of the scenic area, and the Cloud Pavilion at the top of the mountain is also the best viewing place of the Colorful Forest Scenic Area. Standing on the top of the mountain, green leaves and yellow flowers, high and low into the shadow.

Wide-open view, there is a kind of a glimpse of the feeling of the mountains, far away from the view, the mountains are low and majestic, hills such as the sheer waves undulating far, under the feet of the undulating yellow carpet of grass, the field of view is a colorful forest, frame by frame, are beautiful like a movie and television images.

Finally understand why, this scenic area covers 60% of the forest, convergence of grasslands, forests, wetlands, hills, lakes and other landforms are available. The "colorful forest" is well deserved.

Horseback Riding

When you come down from the Cloud Pavilion, you may be a bit tired, then you can choose the classic grassland program: horseback riding, not only can sit down for a while, but also can experience the fun of galloping horses.

Horses come in a variety of colors, white clean, black handsome, brown sturdy... Horse's shiny mane in the sunlight shining, visible usually maintained very carefully, do not know how to ride a horse does not matter, there are experienced horsemen, accompanied by the whole process, very safe.

Glass Trail

Reach out and touch the tip of the tree, this unique experience, not everyone can try. At the entrance of the Jungle Tribe, we boarded the glass stacks of the Netflix.

Although not as high as the Cloud Pavilion, but there is a lot of fun, walking in the group of trees surrounded by glass stacks, as if the elves through the jungle, close observation of the difference between the trees, listening to the figure of nature.

On the glass walkway, look down and you will find a long wooden bridge leading to the white jungle, which is our next destination: the white birch reflecting the sun.

White Birch (Birch Forest)

The birches here are dense and numerous, one straight and upright, rows of pure and simple, a piece of quiet elegance. The gray-white bark under the setting sun is like a memory frozen in time.

Looking up at the top of the tree, golden yellow leaves falling, seems to be welcome, but also seems to stay, looking for you to stop and look again, because they are about to be turned into nutrients, nourish the roots of the tree. Nurture the hope of the next spring, wish in the next year can present a better self and you do not see each other.

As the name suggests, there are different colors of pool water, like terraces like layers and layers, the arrival of autumn, making this place into the world's richest palette, when the palette reflected in the pool, it is more so that this place has become a beautiful painting, colorful, beautiful to the extreme.

Forest Ranch

Across the colorful pool is a forest ranch, in which live a variety of cute little animals, a door to greet us is a tall camel, hump full, you can guess the usual nutrition is good, the further we go, we can also see the peacock, sheep, horses...

The happiest thing is to see a group of sika deer scattered all over the place, the stag is full of spirit, the deer is charming and cute, they are running freely in the garden, unrestrained, and nature as one.

Tianjing Lake

Water is the source of everything.

Lake as its name, this is the largest water area in the scenic area. When there is no wind, the colorful forests, quietly reflected in the lake like a mirror, people can not distinguish between fantasy and reality.

Blue sky, white clouds, reflected in the lake, bright and delicate flowers in the water swaying bloom, as if waiting for people to quickly pick, but there is no place to step, some beauty, we can only appreciate from afar, to get the beauty of it.

Walking on the transparent glass bridge, as if the water and the sky are one color, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the forest is full of color, the game of color is interpreted to the fullest here.

Night Light Show

At the beginning of the night, the picturesque Lake Tianjing fades into color and becomes more and more mysterious under the light of the setting sun. With the sound of music, the shore of Lake Tianjing is gradually illuminated by warm lights.

The verdant mountains, the quiet lake, the brilliant light show, make people in this night, drive away the cold of the early fall, with the rhythm of the joyful dance swing.

Bright and bright moon seems to want to join our team, but unfortunately they can only watch.

Bonfire Fireworks

After dinner, people came to the colorful forest square to open the "night carnival" people around the bonfire jumping, indulge in the release of the pressure of life and work, holding fireworks draw your heart most want to express that sentence, the heart of the wish, with the fireworks in the air, bloom in the black night.
