Just 4 hours from Beijing, Sandao River is truly a camper's paradise!

Just 4 hours from Beijing, Sandao River is truly a camper's paradise! As autumn arrives, if the high-altitude meadows around Beijing feel too chilly for camping, Sandao River offers the perfect forest retreat for a cozy outdoor experience. There's an inexplicable sense of relaxation the moment you step into Sandao River—it's undoubtedly every camper's happy place! Navigation: Pendikeng (not Pendikeng Village) | Trash management fee: ¥20 per tent Reasons why you'll love it here: • Immerse yourself in dense mountain forests, where flowing springs, meadows, wildflowers, and canyons create boundless serenity • Perfect for both drive-up camping and backpacking—hiking along the streams feels magical • Thick trees filter mountain winds into gentle whispers, creating a supremely comfortable and relaxed camping atmosphere • Dappled sunlight on clear days, misty veils on rainy days—every visit brings delightful surprises • Minimal light pollution for spectacular stargazing at night On our journey here, autumn rain pattered softly. The Chicheng Mountains, usually glimpsed from highways, now revealed themselves along national roads winding at their foothills. Clouds draped the slopes like brushstrokes in an ink-wash painting. We pitched our tent beneath poplar trees, with sweeping meadows, rugged cliffs, and meandering mountain streams before us. The post-rain forest felt profoundly tranquil, its crisp air infused with earthy fragrances that filled our lungs—we couldn't help breathing deeply. Sunlight filtered through leaves, casting mosaic shadows. Mountain time unfolded to a symphony of insects, birdsong, and woodland scents gently enveloping us. We'll return to Sandao River in late autumn to follow its streams deeper into idyllic, poetry-worthy valleys and witness their fiery autumn colors. Travel notes: • No cell signal at campsite—inform family beforehand • Close to Laozhanggou (4WD vehicles can explore there too)
