Scenic spot introduction:

The Huairou Reservoir in Beijing has the most beautiful mountains and clear waters. It can be said to be one of the most friendly and frequent outing spots in the suburbs for Beijingers. Standing on the shore, the breeze blows on my face, the mountains in the distance are like black clouds, and the water near is smokey. It seems as if I have arrived in a fairyland on earth, and in the distance is the beautiful lady, so charming and pitiful. Especially in the golden autumn season, the forests are dyed with green and gold, and the soft autumn colors are unique.
