On November 24, I drove to Dongling Mountain Scenic Area. I wanted to escape the smog in the city, so I drove to Dongling Mountain Scenic Area, which is 100 km away. I didn't climb Dongling Mountain, but I found the small hill I discovered in the summer. You can see Beiling Mountain, Huangcaoliang Mountain, and Dongling Mountain from here. The view is very open!

The autumn scenery in Huichuan Scenic Area, Xiaowutai, Yu County On October 3, 2024, 64 of us came to Yu County. Because Xiaowutai is a nature reserve and is currently not open, we were curious and wanted to visit Huichuan Scenic Area, which is close to Xiaowutai. This place has the most beautiful autumn scenery in the north. The ticket is half price at CNY 47, and the round-trip fare in the scenic area is CNY 30. If you don't buy a scenic spot bus ticket, it is about 2 kilometers to walk to the ticket gate, which takes half an hour. I took a car up the mountain. The winding mountain road has no scenery. It is just a climb all the way. There are some nondescript thatched huts similar to African natives on the mountain. There is a mountain god temple built in 2023 at the highest point. The main scenic spot of Huichuan is built along a mountain stream. There is a gurgling stream along the way, and waterfalls of various sizes converge into the mountain stream. You can walk down the wooden plank road to the ticket gate in 2 hours. A few hundred meters before the ticket gate is the return station of the scenic spot bus, and it is only a few minutes to the gate. Huichuan Scenic Area in Yu County is located in Songzhikouyu, Yu County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province.

I heard you can harvest leeks here and make dumplings on the mountain? I heard this is the top-level alpine meadow landscape in Beijing? I heard this is the Beijing version of Altay!? Before even entering the real Beiling Mountain Scenic Area, you can see blue skies, white clouds, and herds of cattle and sheep. The distant slopes are lush and green, layer upon layer, all proclaiming: This is already the most beautiful time of midsummer. This is my first time going to Beiling Mountain. They say it's a hike, but it's really just a weekend stroll~ Two people with just a small backpack, packed with apples and sausages, two bottles of water, wearing short sleeves, shorts, hats, and a sun-protective shirt, and we set off. The route we chose ultimately took 2.5 hours, including climbing the mountain, lying on the grass to sunbathe, and taking photos. Except for a small section of gravel road that was a bit slippery and needed caution, the whole route was easy to walk, and regular sports shoes were completely fine. 📍 Navigation: Jiulongwa (Zhuolu County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province) 🎫 Tickets: Free 🆓 ✔️ For those departing from Beijing You will first arrive at Ta'ersi > Jiulongwa > Jiangshuihe Folk Village. After reaching Jiulongwa, walk two hundred meters in the direction of Jiangshuihe, and you will see a sign by the roadside that says 'Beiling Mountain to Leek Slope,' from where you can climb the mountain. ✅ Weather When the weather is good, it's very sunny, so bring a sun hat and sunglasses; the perceived temperature is cool, just wear a long-sleeve shirt to block the wind, as it's quite windy at the top of the mountain. ✅ Camping Carts can't make it up, so you need to carry your gear if you want to camp. ✅ Pets Pet-friendly, we even saw a very cute little dog climbing the mountain with its owner at the top. ✅ Supplies There are no places selling food, so bring your own water and food. 🈚️ No restrooms

Dongling Mountain Night Climb⛰️: Stars and Sea Within Reach🌌 🌙Departure Under the Night Sky🌙 ⛰️Dongling Mountain, the peak of Beijing. Having experienced several night climbs, I never encountered the ideal starry sky, sunrise, and sea of clouds. After several days of heavy rain, it was still raining during the day on Friday. I was hesitant to go, but after checking several weather apps with different forecasts, I decided to take a chance and followed X on the journey to Dongling. 🌟Accompanied by a Sky Full of Stars🌟 🌌 Fortunately, the rain stopped when I left. There were only two groups due to the rain, and there were many empty seats on the bus, so each person could occupy a row. When the bus departed, it started raining again. I rested immediately after taking my seat, and when we arrived at the starting point, the rain had stopped, the sky was clear, and the stars were visible to the naked eye. It was the first time I saw such a clear starry sky. 🥾Leisurely Night Climb🥾 🌟The most enjoyable part was hiking under the starry sky. When tired, I looked up at the stars, and there was lightning in the distant valleys. The night climb was a round-trip route, mainly consisting of steps and boardwalks. To avoid reaching the cold summit too early, I stayed in a small house at the mid-station of the cable car for a long time to shelter from the wind. About 1.5 hours before sunrise, I set off. Near the small house, I tried various angles to photograph the starry sky, using laser pointers, headlamps, and flashlights when taking pictures of people. 🌅Imperfect Sunrise🌅 ⚠️Before reaching the summit, yaks🦬 and cows🐮 may appear. Be sure to pay attention to the black yaks and walk in groups to avoid disturbing them. While waiting for the sunrise at the summit, I kept taking silhouette photos and observing the sea of clouds. Unfortunately, near sunrise, there was always a layer of fog on the horizon, and the sun emerged from the fog, lacking some brilliance. ☁Foggy Sea of Clouds☁ ☄️Although I didn't see the desired sunrise, the sea of clouds was also not ideal, with only a little in the valleys. It seems that weather forecasts cannot be fully trusted. However, a few uniquely shaped clouds drifted in from the west, and their colors were brilliant under the morning sun. I continued taking photos at the summit for a while before reluctantly descending in the morning sun. ⏰Night Climb Reference Time⏰ 🔸00:03 Start hiking 🔸01:30 Arrive at the small house at the cable car station 🔸03:25 Depart from the small house 🔸04:25 Reach the summit 🔸05:23 Sunrise (sunrise time varies, check the forecast in advance) 🔸05:44 Start descending (descend early due to lack of sea of clouds, can descend at 6) 🔸07:40 Reach the endpoint 🔸08:10 Depart for Beijing 📝Notes📝 1️⃣The wind is strong and the temperature is low🥶 at night on Dongling Mountain. A windbreaker, fleece, thermal blanket, and lightweight down jacket are essential; 2️⃣Load the track in advance, as the signal📶 is poor on the mountain. Charge headlamps and flashlights in advance, and hang a small bell for night climbing; 3️⃣Respect cows🐮 and yaks🦬, do not approach them when encountered, as they may be grumpy and chew on stones when angry; 4️⃣For photographing the starry sky with a phone📱, set white balance to 4800, exposure to 30s, maximum aperture, and ISO3200. If you don't have a tripod, use stones or railings as a support; 5️⃣The road surface is covered with dew in the morning, making it slippery. Some people have slipped and injured their hands; 6️⃣There are farmhouses🏠 at the endpoint in Shanhe Village, with a good restaurant called Haolai Farmhouse. Breakfast🍜 costs 15💰 per person.

Beiling Mountain is located in Zhuolu County, Hebei Province, and it should be considered a top-level beginner hiking route in the suburbs of Beijing. Beiling Mountain is also known as Jiushan or Jiushan, with an altitude of about 1950 meters, located in the northeast of Dongling Mountain, the highest peak in Beijing. 1. Scenery: Personally, I think it is better than Matianling. You can see cliffs, a gathering of mountains, and cattle and sheep grazing. Pay attention to the weather forecast; it is not good to go on smoggy days, and climbing on dusty days is like eating dirt. 2. Difficulty: The hiking route is beginner-friendly, with a length of 5-10km and an elevation gain of about 400 meters. The trail is mainly dirt roads, and the overall road condition is good, making it very suitable for outdoor newcomers to take a walk. You can go without trekking poles. 3. Others: It is recommended to wear a windproof outer layer and a quick-drying inner layer, which can be put on and taken off at any time. The wind on the mountain is very strong and it can get cold. When I went, I only wore a long-sleeved sun protection shirt and was actually frozen. There is a dry toilet at the foot of the mountain, but no toilet on the mountain. You can ride a horse on the mountain, and the cost is 200-300. Beiling Mountain

Zhuolu, Zhangjiakou Starting from Deshengmen in Beijing and heading 130 kilometers north, you can reach Huangdi City in Zhuolu, Hebei. Huangdi City, also known as Xuanyuan City, is an ancient city site located on the west side of Fanshan Town in Zhuolu County. It is said that this is the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Banquan between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, as well as the Battle of Banquan between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou. Here, the Yellow Emperor's tribe united with the Yan Emperor's tribe to defeat Chiyou's tribe, leading to the Yellow Emperor unifying various tribes of China and establishing the first capital city in Chinese history. To this day, Zhuolu still preserves multiple sites and relics related to the culture of the three ancestors, such as Huangdi Spring, Chiyou's Three Villages, and the Hall of the Three Ancestors. The Battle of Banquan was a key battle in the establishment of the Huaxia ethnic group. There are various historical accounts regarding the exact location of the Battle of Banquan. Some believe it was in the southeast of today's Zhuolu County in Hebei Province, while others think it was within the borders of Changzhi in Shanxi, or Yanqing County in Beijing, or other places. However, regardless of the exact location, the Battle of Banquan is the most famous battle between the two ancient ancestors of the Chinese nation, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor. It holds significant importance in the ultimate formation of the Chinese nation and is therefore regarded as the battle that marked the beginning of Chinese civilization. Of course, this period of history is still largely in the realm of legend, with not much archaeological evidence to support it. Even the history of the Xia Dynasty is not yet clear, let alone the history before the Xia Dynasty. However, people today still tend to believe that this is the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Banquan, providing a focal point for their remembrance. Today's Zhuolu County is a small, unremarkable, and not very affluent county not far north of Beijing, with no visible traces of the tribal conflicts that took place here five thousand years ago.

📍Zhuolu Museum Recently opened, still not very complete, but the content is rich enough. 🌟Unique architectural style: With the theme of 'Ancient Civilization Begins in Zhuolu', it fully embodies the Chinese cultural concept of 'harmony and unity', promoting the connotation of 'shared bloodline, cultural origin, and national unity'. The main building is divided into three floors, and its exterior design is inspired by the human-shaped architecture and semi-subterranean covered earth construction methods from the Three Ancestors period. 🌟Rich and exciting exhibits: The museum houses precious cultural relics such as stone flakes, stone cores, and animal bone fossils from the Paleolithic period, showcasing the historical culture of the Zhuolu area and allowing people to deeply understand the development and cultural heritage of this land.

⛰️ The golden lotus flowers on that mountain have bloomed! The scenery here is absolutely stunning! ✅ The reason it is called 'that mountain' is because the national nature reserve currently prohibits entry. Entering the mountain without permission is a violation. 📍 Xiaowutai is located at the border of Yu County and Yuanshi County in Zhangjiakou, Hebei. It is known as the 'Roof of North China,' with the highest peak, East Peak, at an altitude of 2882 meters. It has the most challenging hiking route around Beijing~ Those without any outdoor hiking experience should really not attempt it lightly! 💕 July is the season when the golden lotus flowers bloom the most beautifully and profusely. The golden lotus is a nationally protected plant of the second class, growing in high-altitude areas such as Xiaowutai and Nanbei Tuoliang. ⚠️⚠️ 👉🏻 For friends with hiking experience who love to challenge themselves, this season is definitely the best choice to come here.

One of my favorite hiking routes is through Beiling. High altitude and large alpine meadows make it one of the most popular routes in the suburbs of Beijing in summer. However, the Beiling Mountain route has different intensities. Which one should you choose? 🚶‍♂️1️⃣Route (1): Jiulongwa-Beiling Mountain-Huangcaoliang-Boyu🌟Route Intensity: The whole journey is about 18Km, with a climb of 700m and a descent of 1400m 🌠Route features: The most classic crossing route in Beiling Mountain. It is slightly more intense and is a beginner-advanced route. It is not recommended for novices and outdoor novices to try. The roads are mainly gravel roads. There are two steep slopes up and down. There is a 10 yuan entrance fee. The first section of the climb: the starting point - the top of Beiling Mountain is a climb. There is a small section of tree-lined paths. There is no shade in the meadow, so sun protection is required. The top of the mountain - Huangcaoliang, mainly descends. The first section is steep, and it will be slippery if it rains, making it easy to fall. Huang Caoliang - solid building, is the ascending road, which is relatively slow. But it takes some effort. Solid Building - Baiyu, the descending section is basically walking in the valley, and the slope is not small. If you have bad knees, I don’t recommend taking this route. In addition, this route has forks, so it is easy to get lost without using the track. 2️⃣Route (2): Jiulongwa-Beiling Mountain-Jiulongwa Route intensity: The total distance is about 8km, with an ascent and descent of 350m. Route Features: The most beautiful section of the route through Beiling Mountain, with the highest point of Beiling Mountain as the turning point, suitable for novices, or friends who want to play more and enjoy the scenery on Jiucai Slope. This is also the regular route for camping in Beiling Mountain. The entrance fee is 10 yuan. 3️⃣Route (3): Kumbum Temple Village - Beiling Mountain - Kumbum Temple Village @Route Intensity: The whole journey is about 11km, with an ascent and descent of 800m Features of the route: The climb is slightly larger, similar to the 18-kilometer classic route. There are more gravels at the beginning and end of the road, and the middle section has a gentle slope that rises. The road conditions are better than before. There is no entrance fee to the mountain. Novices who have enough physical strength can also walk. (Self-driving can take this route, non-self-driving can end at Jiangshuihe Village) 4️⃣Route (4): Jiulongwa - Beiling Mountain - Baimugou - Jiangshuihe Village Route intensity: The total distance is about 18km, with a climb of about 900m. Features of the route: The mileage and difficulty are similar to the route to Baiyu. It goes up to Jiulongwa and down to Baimugou. The road conditions are similar to those to Baiyu. The second half is a highway. If you want to avoid taking the road, you can only go to Baimugou, which is about 15 kilometers. . This is an advanced route, not recommended for novices.

With the gentle breeze blowing and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of me, I really don’t feel tired at all.

It is Hulunbuir in Inner Mongolia and Bayinbuluk in Xinjiang. ❇️A mountain road, as Mr. Lu Xun once said, there is no road in the world, but when there are more people walking, it becomes a road, looping through the entire autumn fairy tale world. ❇️In the fairy tale world, in addition to plants, there are also lively animals, including mini squirrels, black crows fluttering in flight, and pheasants soaring into the sky... · 🍁How to go to Fairy Tale World in autumn⁉️ 🧭Navigation: Tarsi Village (Zhuolu County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province) 🚗It’s a 2-hour drive from Beijing, and you can go back and forth on the same day! 🗺️Hiking route: Kumbum Temple Village - Beiling Mountain - Kumbum Temple Village, with a total length of about 10km, a climb of about 700m, and a 6-7 hour journey. 🔄There is no turning back on the circular route, so it is recommended to climb in a clockwise direction. ✳️Walking through tall and dense birch forests on the way up the mountain, you don’t have to worry about being too exposed to the sun; ✳️On the other side of the alpine meadow on the top of the mountain is the cliff, and the scenery is very beautiful; ✳️On the way down the mountain, you are walking more on the ridge, with a wide view and a feeling of being in the wilderness on foot! · ❤️Thinking Tips: 1️⃣The hiking route has a three-star difficulty level and is friendly to novices. It is a wild mountain road. It is recommended to prepare trekking poles and non-slip hiking shoes. 2️⃣The weather is getting colder after autumn, and the temperature difference in the mountains is large. It is recommended to wear warmer clothes when hiking outdoors. 3️⃣Except for a small shop at the parking lot, there are no supplies during the whole journey into the mountain, so be sure to bring food and drinking water! · ⁉️If you have any questions, please ask me if you need the footprints! 👀Don’t forget to comment and let me know your photos of Beiling Mountain!
