Not Xinjiang! This is Beijing! |||

|||. I can’t believe there is such a great place in Beijing The view is without a doubt! Beijing ceiling! You must climb Dongling Mountain in summer - Alpine meadows, yaks and young horses, and low clouds, it’s like being in a Miyazaki painting☁️🐎⛰️🌼 The most important thing is that it is 40 degrees in Beijing and less than 20 degrees in the mountains. I almost died of cold here in the summer! 🚗The journey takes 2.5-3 hours (either self-driving or joining a group tour) The route is also very friendly! Multiple levels of difficulty are available, including night climbing, camping, and day trips. 1⃣️Novice-friendly route: Jiangshuihe Village-Donngling Mountain The whole journey is 12km with a climb of 800m and leisure time of 5-6 hours. (You can park your car next to the red-roofed building. It is a very popular route. It is friendly to novices. Even many children and dogs can climb to the top.) 2⃣️Advanced Route: Juling Gorge-Donling Mountain The whole journey is 16km with a climb of 1300m, which is very tough on your legs. 🎒Equipment: -Breathable trousers (shorts are a bit cold) -Sun protection clothing/jackets (if you are afraid of the cold, you must have a jacket! The wind is strong🌡️minimum 18 degrees) -Treeking poles (must bring them! Going down the mountain is too bad for your knees) - Disposable raincoat (there is a jacket that can be used as a raincoat) -Water 2L/person (you can’t drink much if the weather isn’t hot, you can buy it on the mountain) - Food (sandwiches, apples and cucumbers, energy bars, bread, etc. -Sun hat/sunscreen -Sunglasses🕶️ -power bank -Camera/Drone 🚩Finally! The Jiangshuihe Village-Donling route is really very friendly! On the way, I met many people who returned halfway through the climb. Many of them were because it was too cold without any clothes! Everyone must be prepared! As long as you climb the most difficult first hill, you are 80% done. The meadow behind is almost flat! With the gentle breeze blowing and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of me, I really don’t feel tired at all.
