One Mountain a Week| Lama Gorge, a place suitable for confession

| Lama Gorge, a place suitable for confession. "The best place in Beijing for stargazing", "The best place in Beijing to see red leaves" is what most people think of Lama Gorge. I've been longing for this place for a long time, set off from Tongzhou at 6:00 in the morning, and met up with friends in Haidian. It took 3 hours to drive to the village at the foot of Lama Gorge. The first day after the rain, the sky was still filled with large white clouds. We walked upstream through the "rainforest", the stones by the stream were covered with moss, and the dead trees by the road were filled with colorful mushrooms everywhere; sunlight filtered through the forest, beams of light shuttled between the mushrooms, plants, and moss. After reaching the top of the mountain, the sky cleared completely, with cliffs and the setting sun. In the evening we hadn't come down the mountain, until 20:00 when it was dark, we blindly entered a valley. Tired, we lay on the huge rocks by the stream and watched the stars all over the sky, with the Milky Way crossing the entire valley. The space station and meteor showers broke through the night sky one by one. It turned out that we had encountered the Perseid meteor shower, and when we looked up to count the stars, a chain of blue stars slowly crossed the sky (rumored to be Musk's Starlink project). This was on the 26th of the lunar calendar in August, the air, the date, the celestial phenomena, and the delay in coming down the mountain, all coincidentally let us lie in the valley and enjoy this moment of youth. 📍The pasture deep in Lama Gorge, the one you love is separated by mountains and seas, the mountains and seas cannot be leveled, the sea has a boat to cross, and the mountain has a road to walk Beijing Lama Gorge Primitive Forest Park
