Places to Take Kids in Fangshan, Joyful Songs and Laughter Amidst Mountains and Waters
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, parents of little ones are planning where to take their kids for a trip. In Fangshan District, southwest of Beijing, these scenic spots are worth parents' attention.
1. Bai Rui Valley for Courage Training
Located on the eastern slope of Baihua Mountain in the Taihang Mountains, Bai Rui Valley is a place to see high mountains and temper children's willpower. Taking a shuttle bus up the mountain, the winding mountain road is thrilling like a roller coaster. After getting off at the Tianma Grassland platform, head straight to Glass Stone Island. There is a high-altitude swing at the top of the mountain for those seeking excitement. From the top, you can see the old coal mine site and enjoy the canyon scenery. On the way down, you can take the jungle slide to the Jurassic Forest, an artificial dinosaur cluster that moves and makes sounds. After visiting, head west to the glass walkway, cross the Floating Cloud Bridge, pass Baihua Spring, and reach the small zoo. The entire trip takes about 3-4 hours. Here, children can see the beautiful mountain scenery, listen to mythical stories, try swinging on cliffs, slide down forest trails, and experience the thrill of walking on a glass walkway. This trip is more suitable for older children.
2. Le Valley Silver Beach for Mountain Sliding and Aerial Walking
Located in Sandu, Fangshan, Le Valley Silver Beach features mountain rafting and water play. With the temperature dropping during the Mid-Autumn Festival, water activities are not suitable, but you can take your kids to experience the Taihang Flying Car mountain slide (non-powered small slide), walk on the glass walkway and glass suspension bridge on the cliffs. Visitors can take an electric car from Le Valley Town to the starting point of the Taihang Flying Car at the top of the mountain, then control the car down the mountain. This project is relatively safe, with a dedicated track and flexible speed control. The Qingtian Glass Suspension Bridge is near the starting point of the Taihang Flying Car. You can walk the suspension bridge first, then take the flying car down the mountain. The Qingyun Glass Walkway can be accessed from Le Valley Town or after descending, take a cable car from the Big Eagle starting point (near Jinchan Cave) up the mountain, walk the glass walkway, and return. Comparatively, the projects in the scenic area are more thrilling.
3. Youlan Mountain Happy Forest with Non-Powered Amusement Facilities
Youlan Mountain Happy Forest is a newly established parent-child park specifically for kids. The scenic area is located in Huangshandian Village, Zhoukoudian Town. The park has various science and expansion projects such as the Plant Herb Garden, Archimedes Water Engineering, Waterwheel Culture, and Jungle Adventure. The cute pet park on the hillside houses gentle animals like alpacas, piglets, white horses, and roosters. Compared to the previous two scenic spots, this place is more suitable for kids to play.
4. Niukouyu Wetland Park for Close Contact with Birds
Niukouyu Wetland Park is located about 2 kilometers southwest of Fangshan Chengguan Street. It was originally a reservoir and has now become a free park for nearby residents to exercise, relax, and maintain health. The park is lush with plants, and rare birds like swans, mandarin ducks, sparrowhawks, kestrels, and rare birds like black-crowned night herons, purple-backed bitterns, and kingfishers often visit. There is a playground for kids in the park. Taking your kids here allows them to learn about birds and take boat rides. Compared to mountain scenic spots, this place is more relaxing.

Fangshan Bairui Valley ·| Slide | Dinosaur | High Bridge | Spring Water | All in one stop
| Slide | Dinosaur | High Bridge | Spring Water | All in one stop. The scenic area is in Fangshan, and the Jinxiu Huabei Card can be used. It took us 2 hours to drive from Haidian, and during the trip, we met a family who drove from Fangshan, which also took 1 hour. The main reason is that the mountain road is winding and cannot be driven fast. Last year's flood damaged the roads in Fangshan, but they have been repaired now. The car is parked in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, and it costs 30 yuan per person to take the shuttle bus up the mountain. Along the way, we saw that the roads in the scenic area were still being repaired, and the scenic area also needed renovation due to the flood.
Getting off the bus, you are already on the mountain. Overall, it is not tiring, as you are basically walking on the mountain with not much elevation gain. It is very friendly for the elderly and children, as it is mostly steps or gentle slopes.
At the top of the mountain, there is a high-altitude swing. The price is as shown in the picture, and it feels quite high and thrilling. Moving forward, there is a glass platform that is great for taking photos. Continuing along the path, there is a high-altitude zipline, which we did not try. Further along, there is a jungle slide for 30 yuan per person. You wear pants, shoe covers, and gloves, and control your own speed. It takes about 3-4 minutes to slide down, and you will arrive at the entrance of the Jurassic Forest.
The Jurassic Forest is considered a special area of Bairui Valley, with more than 20 animal models of various sizes. Besides dinosaurs, there are tigers, spiders, snakes, and crocodiles, some with sound effects. Children love it and it feels very realistic. There are also dinosaurs you can ride for photos. The overall experience is walking in the forest, which is quite cool.
After exiting the Jurassic Forest, there is a floating bridge for 30 yuan per person. Note that it is not made of glass, and the bottom is hollow, so your phone can fall through. Be very careful! If you don't take this bridge, you can continue walking in the mountain. If it's your first time, it's recommended to take the bridge, as the scenery from the bridge is great.
After crossing the bridge, you can collect spring water on the right side. It is very clear and cool, and the bottle frosts immediately after filling. It is drinkable and very refreshing.
On the way down the mountain, there is a zoo. Feed costs 20 yuan per bag, including carrots, cabbage, and sausages. Along the way down, you can see pigs, horses, cows, sheep, raccoons, and peacocks. At the foot of the mountain, there is a slide car for 20 yuan per person, but it is very short and just makes a turn, so it is not recommended. If you want to slide, go to Yexian Tower.
After descending, you can eat spring water noodles for 20 yuan per bowl. There are no other options, just this one place. After eating, take the shuttle bus down the mountain and go home.

Summer Retreat | Deep Forest Sanctuary! Immerse yourself in a walk through Jurassic Park
☀️ Summer has arrived, and the scorching heat of Beijing leaves no escape. Fortunately, hidden deep in the mountains is this natural summer retreat, also known as Beijing's 'Jurassic Park.' Just over two hours from the city, you can reach this mysterious green world.
🦕 'Jurassic' Bai Rui Valley's top experiences:
🦖 Dinosaur Adventure
Bai Rui Valley is famous for its dinosaur theme. Tyrannosaurus rex, Velociraptors, and small dinosaur models can be found throughout the park, not only moving but also emitting lifelike roars. Walking into this jungle is like traveling back to the Jurassic era. Listen to the roar of dinosaurs and experience an immersive adventure.
🎠 Sky-high Swing
The swing is definitely a hotspot for social media. Swinging high in the mountains, enjoying the cool breeze, and feeling the thrill of an accelerated heartbeat. This swing feels like a return to Bali, perfect for taking photos.
🌿 Plant Kingdom
The plant species in Bai Rui Valley are rare and native. Using your phone to identify the names of flowers and plants will amaze you. These plants are also known as 'eye-cleansing artifacts,' and taking pictures for phone wallpapers has a better effect than eye exercises.
🌉 Suspension Bridge Adventure
The suspension bridge in Bai Rui Valley is a highlight. The green bridge spans across the valley, and walking on it, you experience the emotional shift from tension to relaxation. If you're afraid of heights, even I got a bit scared walking to the center because the gaps gradually get bigger, which is indeed thrilling, with mountains surrounding you closely. The suspension bridge is the only time-saving and effortless way to get from one end to the other.
🎫 Suspension Bridge: 30 yuan
🚐 Mini Transport Adventure
The mini transport experience in the park is also unique. The drivers are skilled, and the 3-kilometer road winds through the mountains, with the scenery appearing and disappearing on both sides, as if you are in the melody of a song, and the whole body swaying is inevitable.
🍜 Culinary Experience
Spring water noodles are a specialty here, delicious and made with mountain spring water, priced at 20 yuan. Additionally, the park has pancakes and snacks, although the selection is not extensive, they are convenient for an afternoon meal.
🏞 Tour Routes and Zones
Bai Rui Valley is mainly divided into two parts:
Mountain Viewing Area
Climbing, sightseeing, sky-high swing, cableway, glass walkway (free) 2-3km
🐲 Jurassic Era Zone
A park themed around dinosaurs, offering an immersive Jurassic Park experience. From the jungle to the large suspension bridge, passing by the spring water spot (recommended to take water home), on the way back you can see the animal park (with alpacas, goats, peacocks, raccoons, and other animals) as well as the waterfall at the foot of the mountain.
📅 Tour Time
Duration: 4-6 hours
Ticket: 80 yuan
Mini Transport: 20 yuan (highly recommended)
Glass Walkway: Free
🕙 Tour Suggestions
Climbing to the sky-high swing takes 30 minutes, touring the Jurassic area takes about 1 hour, and descending the mountain takes about 40 minutes.
It is recommended to bring your own food, although pancakes and snacks are available in the park.
Reminder: The climb is long and physically demanding, so the mini transport is a good choice.
📸 Photo Tips
🌅 Morning light:
8 am to 10 am: The light is soft, suitable for shooting details of dinosaurs and plants. The morning sun through the leaves casts mottled shadows, adding a dreamy atmosphere to the photos.
🌄 Afternoon light:
4 pm to 6 pm: The sunlight is slanted, creating excellent light and shadow effects on the corridors and suspension bridge, suitable for portrait photography. The afterglow of the sunset sprinkles in every corner of the park, filling the entire scene with warmth and tranquility.
🛡️ Travel Guide
Close to the scenic area is a village slope, which is difficult for large vehicles to climb, especially tourist buses that may slip. Small cars should be cautious and give way.
There are many places in the park where you can stop and rest, and with abundant vegetation, be aware of mosquito bites.
🏞️ The Beijing version of 'Jurassic Park' is cool, especially when you are immersed in mountain hiking, and suddenly a loud roar from the distant tyrant road, as if chasing, and as you walk, a huge 'dinosaur' suddenly swings vigorously, which really scared me.
