China Travel 2.0

不到长城非好汉，到了长城是傻蛋，只有箭扣不一样，磅礴逶迤任你看。二登箭扣长城。 在北京几年，每每有外地朋友到来，我都要带他们去看长城，我一般是带去看慕田峪长城，因为那里游人比较少，柯灵顿当总统的时候来北京，就是在这里观赏长城的。长城在蜿蜒的丛山峻岭理游走，很有看头，这里的长城修复得比较好，有索道可以直达山顶。还有一个好处就是游人少，好几次我带人去那里，整个山上看得见的地方没有其他游人。眼前蜿蜒的长城，游人有着把酒凌风的感觉。我去过最东面的北戴河的老龙头长城和最西面的嘉峪关长城，感觉不够野，后天人为的因素太多。 箭扣长城在怀柔的西北面，距北京80多公里，在修好料京承高速公路以后，只要1个半小时就可以从四元桥到达山下。箭扣长城之所以有名，是由于其绵延20多公里的野长城（没有现代的维修），险象环生，这里崇山峻岭，长城依山势蜿蜒起伏，非常壮观，是长城摄影爱好者的天堂。到上个月为止，还没有去过这个箭扣长城。不过世上不怕有心人，我最近一个月，两次分别从南线和北线登上箭扣长城。 箭扣长城登山的路线分为两条，南线和北线，我两条线都走过，北线非常容易，30分钟到达箭扣长城，对于我来说是胜似闲庭信步，一般游人从此上山以后再沿着残长城走到慕田峪或者司马台长城，由于这里下山也很容易，可以待天黑以后下山住农家院。南线比较困难，基本没有路，从山底下的村落，我花了2个半小时才爬到长城，我说爬，就是真正的手脚着地的往上爬，基本没有路，顺着山势在山坳里爬。不过很多拐点都有前人留下来的标志，而且一路上能看到长城的垛子，也不容易丢。 我爬的这两次都是下午才开始，所以爬到山顶的时候太阳就快下山了，我没打算在山上过夜，天黑了以后下山比较危险，所以需要马上下山，基本没有时间观赏长城。能看到夕阳西下，长城的白砖在金黄色的夕阳映照下，正是把酒临风，宠辱皆忘。 自驾车线路 南线（自虐登山） 京承高速路怀柔下，——怀柔开放环岛左转——到头红绿灯右转——见慕田峪标志左转——直到慕田峪环岛（不要往慕田峪方向区）——环岛过慕田峪出口50米，从下一出口有一条小路上写卧佛山庄，下去以后即长城红鳟鱼养殖场方向行驶——登山的路线在鳟鱼养殖场旁边，车可以停在鳟鱼养殖场。从这里上山要2个半小时，体力消耗很大。 北线（腐败一游） 京承高速路怀柔下——开放环岛左转——到头见红绿灯右转——富乐环岛直行——雁栖环岛左转奔神堂峪方向——莲花池直行——直至一小桥，桥头右手有一商店，左手有一路口，左拐进此路，一直走即到箭扣。见箭扣牌子时有两条路可选，左边一条(杨二家)较近，很快可以进村停车，但离山稍远；右边一条，就是大家熟悉的西栅子村，再往前开还有一个专门的停车场，旁边是有名的老赵家影友之家。从这里上山只要30分钟左右。
