The staff of the Unirule went for an autumn outing at Mangshan National Forest Park on October 20th. Located on the east side of Ming Tombs Reservoir in Changping District, with the highest peak at 659 meters, the mountain is named Mang (meaning python in Chinese) because it undulates like a huge python. Covering an area of 8,000 hectares, Mangshan National Forest Park is the largest of its kind in Beijing. Apart from the vast natural landscape, there are several cultural attractions such as the Grand Buddha, Mangshan Pagoda, and the Highland Corridor. Walking with at a brisk pace, we climbed up the mount. We stood on top of the hill, drinking in the beautiful view, which is harmony between the different colors. Maple leaves aflame with color. Chrysanthemums are sunlight yellow. Attractions each, like fine music, excited our heart and the calmed our soul. Our autumn outing coincided with the 9th Apple Culture Festival. So we drove into an apple orchard and picked apples. We played with bursting laughing and had an incredible time. The beautiful view, the great delicacy and delicious apples left us endless aftertaste.
