Just 2 hours from Beijing suburbs! The autumn scenery of Sumushan in Ulanqab is breathtaking

Autumn at Ulanqab·Sumushan Forest Park is truly a hidden treasure nearby! The entire mountain is wrapped in a golden coat, with layers of pine and birch forests. When the wind blows, leaves fall like stepping into a moving oil painting, every snapshot looks like a masterpiece~ Standing on the mountaintop is super stunning! You can see the magnificent view where three provinces meet ⛰️, and the best part is there are very few people! Even during the National Day Golden Week, it’s much quieter than other attractions, a perfect healing and less crowded spot~ 🏃‍♀️ Recommended routes ✨ Easy route: Take the shuttle bus up the mountain → hike down (about 2-3 hours), very relaxing to walk and take photos, easy even with kids~ ✨ Hiking route: Pay 15 yuan for the shuttle bus to the entrance, then hike up and down through Binglingjian (about 4 hours), fully immerse yourself in the autumn scenery, very satisfying! 🚗 Super convenient transportation 🚄 High-speed rail: Beijing Qinghe Station → Xinghe North Station (1h46min, 117 yuan), then taxi or rent a car to get there, less hassle with kids~ 🚗 Self-driving: About 3.5 hours, the scenery along the way is very healing, electric cars are fine too, with charging stations available 🔋 🏡 Accommodation tips Recommended nearby "Sumushan Yunding Wild Luxury Homestay," close to the scenic area, no need to rush with kids, and you can experience the mountain wilderness atmosphere~ 💰 Cost reference 🎫 Ticket + shuttle bus = 99 yuan/person, very cost-effective, no pressure for family trips~ 📌 Tips The mountaintop is windy and cold, be sure to bring thick jackets for the kids 🧥 to keep them warm~ Multiple viewing platforms are great for photos, easily capturing the beauty of autumn 📸~ The small waterfall on the way down is very refreshing, remember to stop and let the kids enjoy it~ Although autumn scenery is the most stunning, Sumushan has surprises in all seasons, worth visiting many times! Sumushan is synonymous with beautiful scenery, few people, and great photo spots ✅. If you want to escape the city with kids and shoot autumn family photos, this is definitely the right choice~
