Which village in Beijing is called Potala Palace? Can you introduce it?

Fearing that there would be too many people during the holiday, I automatically canceled my trip to Beijing and moved to Zhou Bianyou, Beijing. In Mentougou District in the western suburbs of Beijing, there is a place called Cuanxia Village, which has been built for nearly 400 years. Old Beijing quadrangles and three-way houses have been preserved to this day and built on the mountain. They are mainly attracted by the quiet life and simple folk customs here during the holidays.

The earliest Cuanxia village was built by the Han people and lasted until the 17th generation. At present, there are not many well-preserved quadrangles in Beijing, but there are more than 70 sets in Cuanxia Village, not including the ancient buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties. All the houses are piled up to the top of the mountain on the basis of mountains and rocks. The layout of the village is unique, and it is built in full accordance with the five elements of Feng Shui. There are two arc-shaped high walls up and down, which are connected by three tunnels, which can not only prevent floods and disasters, but also prevent bandits from stealing.

There is basically no need to worry about staying in Cuanxia Village, because every family is an inn and you can choose at will. I suggest looking for it halfway up the mountain. It's convenient to go up and down, let alone bargain. The quadrangle with better conditions can come down around 200 yuan, which is much cheaper than Beijing. But many quadrangles have no heating and air conditioning, which is a disadvantage. When choosing accommodation, look at it before you check in. If it is this season, it will be more convenient and the temperature is moderate.

When you enter the mountains in autumn, you can see the most beautiful autumn colors in a year. Semi-red branches and leaves are dotted in the scattered gray tile quadrangles, which makes people feel like they are in a painting. Walking on the village road, leisurely walking to the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of this small village dyed with autumn colors from top to bottom. It is so leisurely and quiet, but I feel that the arrival of tourists disturbs it.

Take a slow swim when you come here. Take a look at each yard, and you will find that each yard has a different story. From the murals of the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the good news of the Qing Dynasty, they are all old photos, as if they had taken a time machine. The slogans of the 1950s and 1960s printed on the exterior walls are the most striking, as if they brought people from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the early days of liberation. Looking at the humble small village, it is shabby but simple, quiet and charming.

There are two days to visit the village, because the air in the village is good and the living atmosphere is quiet and harmonious. You can stay a few more days if you like. Attention should be paid to cold prevention at night in this season in mountainous areas. Diet is a big pot of stew, which may be quite fresh at first, but it feels tasteless after a long time. You can go to the restaurant at the foot of the mountain and solve it yourself. It will be more expensive in the tourist season, but you can buy some local honey when you come back. It's pure, and the most important thing is pure natural.
