The autumn of Beijing is a gorgeous picture scroll which is painted with attractive bright colors, and is full of the all-year-around arduous cultivation and the joy of harvest. In a sunny autumn morning, I drove my JIMNY and headed for Fangshan Changgou to appreciate the full-bloom sunflower sea, hear the spring gurgling merrily and enjoy the scenes of new socialist countryside. If you like the natural rural life, Fangshan Changgou must be listed in your Beijing to Xian tour. The sunflower in Changgou Town is the nearest sunflower sea to Beijing.
The sunflowers here usually bloom later than that of other places. However, it is the delay of the florescence that make the passionate sunflowers and the mid-autumn atmosphere perfectly complemented with each other. Beijing’s autumn would be always kind enough to provide a bright blue sky and white clouds for the vast sunflower sea. The thousand-mu sunflowers are just like a guard of honor, facing the rising sun and blooming vigorously, which make the vast land paved with gold all along to the skyline.
When the word ‘sunflower’ occurs in my mind, it always reminds me of the abstract beauty of the Sunflower paintings by van Gogh. The growing status of sunflowers always gives people a feeling of rejoicing and enthusiasm of life. Perhaps it is the warm life that encourages numerous artists to get inspired and make them see sunflowers as the embodiment of life.
Unlike Beijing, the Xian tour will provide you a romantic feast of sakura in the Qinglong Temple in early April every year.
