These days nature is becoming more beautiful, especially in the northern area of Beijing where I am currently living is experiencing sound weather with a very clear sky after a couple of days cloudyness and a little bit raining that has cleaned the air to a good level. It has been a long that I experienced such clean and sound weather with a mild temperature also which is around 26-degree centigrades which going to touch the 30-degree level very soon. For extremely high working hours, I frequently find myself longing for a break from the concrete world and having a breath of fresh air after experiencing the rush of professional life. I had the good fortune to be able to go out of the workplace this weekend and spend time in Huairou District's surroundings with amazing natural beauty.
The institute location is also in a great open space which is away from the busy city area. An there was blast of fresh, chilly air greeted me as I got out of the dormitory for my exploration. The thick vegetation that appeared to cover the entire area of my institute was bathed in a pleasant glow from the summer sun, which had ceased to be a harsh glare in the winter. The sky overhead me was a canvas of the purest blue and the dust and cloud that frequently beset the metropolis had vanished. A towering wall of mountains in the northern area gives an excellent landscape at the first observation if you are here.
Huairou has a really amazing natural beauty in the summertime. Streets are lined with trees that create cool shadows on the pavement, thanks to their vivid leaves, which come in a thousand colors of green. Every color under the sun appears as flowers protrude from every nook and corner. Their delicious scent casts a light perfume over the surroundings.
The mountain's far horizon added another layer of beauty which is really a heavenly surrounding to have a relaxing time here. Huairou provided me with more than simply a weekend. It was an opportunity to rediscover the simple pleasures of life and reestablish a connection with the natural world. I will never forget the lush, green scenery, the brilliant night sky, and those mountains where I always want to go.
I spent the afternoon meandering around this natural beauty. Every move I took with my bicycle revealed a new gift, whether it was a copse of trees providing a nice view or the wind that made me feel fresh. In sharp contrast to the noise of the city, the buzzing of bees, and the tweeting of birds created a calming symphony that will definitely sooth your heart with peace.
I have also had my dinner at a distant Muslim restaurant which is from Xinjiang people and is the most common Halal restaurant in all of China. As I went along a charming street adorned with neighborhood restaurants, the perfume of spices was really hunger-appealing. I have ordered a plate of noodles, barbeque, and a ram's feet which I was to experience there.
There was an explosion of flavor in the first mouthful of the noodles which was served with beef and potato with added some capsicums. Warm and a rich combination of spices was very favorable as a Bangladeshi as we love spices in our foods too much. The ram's feet was mind-blowing, especially the chewing part was very delicious and well cooked.
During my returning time, I was mesmerized by the amazing beauty of an evening in Huairou as the sun had just set, painting the sky with streaks of orange color. The sky, clear of the light pollution of street lights, became a brilliant display, and the air became surprisingly chilly.
Thanks for your time and attention hope to catch you at my next exploration.
Have a good day!
