Stop stressing and come to Beijing's Little Switzerland, Pofengling, for some fresh air

Dear friends, it's the most comfortable season in Beijing again, and not going out to have fun is simply a waste! Today, I must highly recommend Pofengling to you 🌄 June here is outrageously beautiful! 🎫 A 30 yuan ticket covers a whole day of happiness, with excellent value for money! 🅿️ Parking is super convenient too, costing only 10 - 20 yuan, so no worries about parking troubles~ 🚗 If you’re driving, starting from downtown Beijing, take the Jinggang'ao Expressway all the way, exit at Zhoukoudian, then follow the navigation. It takes about 1.5 - 2 hours to reach this paradise. Public transport is possible but slower: take bus 836 from Liuliqiao East to Zhoukoudian Road Intersection, then transfer to bus Fang 32 to Huangshandian Village Entrance. It takes about 3 - 4 hours, so driving is recommended. Every year from May to June is Pofengling’s peak beauty season, with hydrangeas and smoke trees blooming wildly, as if you’ve stepped into a real-life Monet garden. Every step is a scenic view, every glance is a painting! 🌸 Hydrangea Sea: Vast clusters of hydrangeas packed closely together in pink, purple, and blue, like God spilled a palette of colors. Standing in the flowers for photos instantly boosts the atmosphere! It’s best to wear light-colored dresses for a perfect match with the flower sea~ 🌳 Smoke Tree Boardwalk: Stroll along the winding boardwalk flanked by dense smoke trees. Sunlight filters through the leaves, creating dappled light and shadow—feeling like the heroine of an art film! Take photos as you walk; every shot looks great straight out of the camera. 🌄 Summit Viewing Platform: Climb to the top and take in the endless mountains and vibrant flower sea. Snap a full-body photo with the vast landscape as your backdrop—everyone will say “Wow!” when they see it! Here are some photo tips for you 👇 🌅 Morning and evening light is soft, making photos rich in layers. Find a spot with light and shadow for an easy atmospheric masterpiece. 📸 Crouch or lie on the ground to shoot from a low angle with the sky as the background, highlighting the person and flowers for a more impactful image. 💃 Run and spin freely in the flower sea while friends capture candid shots—natural and lively moments are much better than posed ones! The red basket helo noodles in the scenic area have chewy noodles and rich, fragrant broth. Paired with fresh green vegetables, one bowl fills you with happiness, costing about 20 yuan per person. Nearby, there are many farmhouse inns offering fresh local dishes like free-range eggs, fried pepper sprouts, and stewed free-range chicken. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, serving authentic flavors, with prices around 50 - 80 yuan per person, offering great value. We’ve also planned the route for you: Scenic area entrance → Hydrangea Sea → Smoke Tree Boardwalk → Mid-mountain Pavilion → Summit Viewing Platform → Red Basket Shop → Scenic area exit. The whole trip takes about 3 - 4 hours. If you’re not very fit or short on time, feel free to adjust as you like for maximum comfort~ This June, stop staying home scrolling on your phone and come to Pofengling for a date with nature! We guarantee you’ll gain loads of happiness and countless beautiful photos 📸
