Hello, my dear Hive friends.
During the winter, it is quite impossible for me to have a cycling session as the temperature drops to a very lower level and the strong freezing wind from the north pole is much colder than the real temperature of the area where I live in the northern region of the Beijing Municipal. In the mid of November, it is winter in the Huairou district I belong to starting the winter and temperature drops suddenly and sometimes increases on some days. It was one of my best cycling sessions through nature last week on a sunny day with moderately higher temperatures. I had an opportunity to get more connected to nature, being a nature lover it is a great scope for me. I always try to explore nature in the mountains, in the forest, and by the lake as I get the most out of such places surrounding the place where I am currently living. Indeed, it is a great favor upon me from the Almighty that I am living just in the lap of nature.
I have visited the area previously in the summer, and in the fall with colorful vibes and I walked along the river and saw how much the land had changed in just a couple of weeks. In early fall, this area was full of life. The grass was lush and green, and the leaves were thick with a deep green in color. There is now a clear view of the winter touch in the surroundings. Now there are empty spots with the naked branches of the trees. This is where a lot of people used to visit but now it has been lowered. The bare trees and dry grass make the scenery look earthy and simple right now but the rest of the trees with strong colorful views are so attractive. The outdoors seemed to be taking its time getting ready for the coming winter.
I always enjoy my Huairou life as it is famous for its beautiful scenery, which includes many mountains, lakes, and rivers. I can say that things move more slowly here than in the city center of Beijing. I like how different each season is, but winter makes it hard to do more physical activities outside due to excessive cold. With a long nature, I also love to rest and get away at this time. So, it was a great time to ride a bicycle in the mountains last week, and this makes me think of the beautiful late fall colors there. It is now more peaceful and more attractive to spend time here with the colorful surroundings.
I kept cycling until I found a quiet place to relax and take in the view. It wasn't so cold due to the relatively stringer sun, but the air was cool. That kind of cold wakes you up and makes you feel comfortable during cycling. I stood and watched the scenarios there with my heartful peace. In the quiet and peaceful environment, I felt very close to nature. The trees will look different winter snow will dominate here, they will be dark forms against the white snow. I am always amazed by the change, even though it takes place every year. The area is under the Quanshuitou village which is a mountain village but I have visited the outside village area with the mountains road with the beautiful roadsides and stunning views. I arrived at the location after riding for more than an hour. The area is empty of businesses and homes, with only a few international convention centers. Most of the area is covered with forest parks and these are perfect places for hiking. However, the park areas along the roads are open to everyone.
As I was riding my bike, I was able to quickly get to know the area since I didn't have to walk slowly, which saved a lot of time during my visit. I had another plan to ride into the deep mountain road that was about 10 km more, but I was already tired because I had to return to my dormitory. So I skip that road so I don't get even more tired. Maybe in the coming days I will visit that area. It's hard to keep riding through these mountain roads, so I stopped several times to rest and also drink some water though it is not necessary in the winter too much to drink as it is not so hot to sweat a lot like the other season. The temperature started going down after I arrived at the spot as the daytime is very short at this time.
But I really enjoy traveling by myself because I can do and see whatever I want and spend my time however I want. I took some shots in the area and I was able to feel the dried leaves breaking under my cycle's wheel which was fantastic. Huairou is beautiful in the winter in a different way. The outdoors is beautiful all year round, and each time I visit, I see something new. The plants, trees, and even the river seem to know this. I hope to come here as soon as possible to visit the area and explore the beauty of nature.
I hope you like my photos of the beauty of winter nature during my cycling session in this area with colorful surroundings and a crystal clear blue sky. It was an amazing experience to have such a fantastic place like this, with the discovery of natural beauty, to enjoy my Beijing life! If you have any queries, let me know in the comments, and I will try my best to answer them.
Thanks a lot for your time and attention. I will catch up with you at the next one.
Wish you a great weekend!
Nice ride with beautiful autumn colours!
