Beijing has its own "Misty Jiangnan"

So far‼️My favorite "Misty Jiangnan" in Beijing has emerged||When I sat by the door overlooking the entire town, it was like seeing an ink painting, nestled at the foot of the Great Wall, with small bridges, flowing water, and ancient architecture complementing each other, blending the soft beauty of water towns with the grandeur of mountain cities~ 🔴This town is surrounded by rivers, 🛶with multiple boat-passable waterways within 🔴Could this be the place described by Bai Juyi as "In spring, the river water is as green as indigo"? So beautiful!!! ✅Recommended to visit for 2 days and 1 night. I explored the entire town and compiled many photo spots and itinerary sequences for your reference. 🟣Transportation 🚄High-speed train Gubeikou Station, depart from Beijing North, Qinghe, or Changping North.
