It is a forest trail very close to Beijing. I entered from the east and walked up the mountain on route 331. It is a slope, not stairs. When I reached the top of the mountain, I saw a very beautiful view of the mountain. I walked to the mountain from another path. The trails can be connected. I spent 4 hours here. I was very impressed.

The weather is getting warmer, perfect for a weekend hike with the kids. I recommend Baiwangshan Forest Park, which is great for beginners and young children. 🥤🍞Bring plenty of water, snacks, and fruit to keep your energy up. 🎒Pack tissues, wet wipes, and garbage bags for fruit peels, snack wrappers, etc. 🚍Subway Line 16 or buses 325, 518, etc. will get you there easily. 🎫Tickets are CNY 6, or CNY 3 for children. There are several routes to choose from. We started at the east gate and reached the summit in about an hour. Most visitors were families with children. If you're looking for a relaxing weekend outing that won't tire you out, bring your kids here.

Autumn in Beijing is super short, so take advantage of the weekend to go out and play, but don't want to get up early, and want to go out to take pictures in autumn, search the map, and directly set - Baiwang Mountain! There is a She Taijun Temple on the top of the mountain, which originated from the legend that She Taijun stood on the mountain to cheer for his son Yang Liulang and the Liao soldiers. If you are interested, you can stay and watch. Baiwang Mountain is a peak at the easternmost end of the Taihang Mountains extending to the North China Plain, known as the "first peak of the Taihang outpost". Looking far away from the heights, the east side is a modern building complex, and the back of the mountain is densely forested, with a fragrant fragrance of wheat. In autumn, you can enjoy a large area of red leaf forest in Baiwang Mountain Forest Park. Looking west from the pavilion, the peaks of the Taihang Mountains are stacked, and the forests are dyed. Looking at the red leaves and green cypresses on the mountains, the red leaves are even more gorgeous. There are two routes: 🎈Enter from the south gate, the mountain is not high, only 214 meters, it is relatively low, almost no difficulty, more than an hour to Wangjing Building (peak). The whole journey is a slope, no need to climb stairs!!! There is a road for children, people are relatively scattered, and along the way, I also saw a lot of baby strollers and old people coming. It is really the most friendly climbing holy place! 🎈Enter the park from the north gate, take the main road, enter the plank road, and at the end of the plank road is the Heishanhu Battle Memorial Park. After leaving the memorial park, you can walk along the gravel inlaid path for a few minutes to reach the ancient tree garden. There are ancient trees around here, very quiet and there are wooden chairs suitable for stopping and resting. Continue along the asphalt road behind the ancient tree garden for 8 minutes to reach the Notre Dame Cathedral. The Notre Dame Cathedral does not open the door and does not need to stay. Walk along the road in the direction of Wangxiang Pavilion to go down the mountain. 📍Address: Baiwang Mountain Forest Park 🚌Bus: Baiwang Mountain Forest Park Bus Station 🚇Subway: Get off at Malianwa Station on Line 16 and get out of the A northwest exit and walk to the intersection and turn right to go straight, it's a matter of minutes ⏰Opening hours: 07:00-18:00 (18:00 stop admission) 🎫Tickets: ¥6/adult (available on site) ✌️Tips: Wear a pair of comfortable shoes and do sun protection.

#Beijing Attractions Baiwangshan Forest Park is famous for its exotic trees, including lush and tall pine and cypress forests, as well as ancient trees of various shapes. Some have branches winding like dragons, and some have crowns like umbrellas, which are extremely ornamental. I particularly like a thousand-year-old locust tree in the park. Its thick trunk is covered with traces of time, as if telling a long history. There are also many rare tree species planted in the park. The leaves of these trees turn golden yellow, forming a sharp contrast with the evergreen trees, forming a gorgeous autumn picture. What surprised me most was encountering groups of sika deer in the park. These graceful creatures roam freely in the woods, sometimes lowering their heads to nibble on the grass, and sometimes raising their heads to look around vigilantly, adding a bit of vitality and wildness to the forest. I stayed in the deer viewing area for a long time, admiring the natural ecology of the deer. Many tourists like to take a rest in the small pavilion in the woods, listen to the birds singing and cicadas chirping, and feel the tranquility of nature.

"Baiwang Mountain Forest Park, you really play so flowery" Baiwang Mountain Forest Park has two entrances, the East Gate and the North Gate. It is recommended to start from the North Gate. Here is the recommended flower viewing route for you: - Route One: North Gate → Route 2 → Wangxiang Pavilion → Route 5. This route is flat, but a bit distant, with no steps throughout. You can enjoy the spring scenery on both sides of the road, as well as a distant view of the mountain flowers in full bloom. - Route Two: East Gate → Route 3 → Wooden Plank Path → Heishan Hu Battle Memorial Park. This route is relatively flat, with no steps throughout, and you can enjoy flowers along the way. - Route Three: East Gate → Route 1 → Friendship Pavilion → Wangjing Tower.

Located on the bustling edge of Beijing's city center, Haidian District's Baiwangshan Forest Park attracts countless families with its unique charm of being close to nature. Not only is it a stone's throw from the urban area, but it's also a place where you can often encounter leisurely squirrels, bringing endless fun to the children. Xishan National Forest Park, as a zero-difficulty barrier-free recreational destination, is even equipped with facilities designed for strollers, allowing every family to roam freely and easily. Fragrant Hills Park is a paradise for parent-child activities, with some little-known parent-child activities hidden on its homepage. While playing, children may also encounter those cute squirrels, creating a harmonious scene. Shijingshan District's Badachu Park, with its toboggan as the main attraction, offers visitors a different kind of fun. The peach blossom forest in the Lao Shan City Leisure Park is a paradise for hikers, just 10 minutes away. The blooming peach blossom forest seems like a gift from spring, intoxicating visitors. Although the Jietai Temple Countryside Park is simple and easy to navigate, the presence of a large slide adds more fun to the visit. The ancient Jingxi Trail is suitable for a driving exploration, where you can feed lambs along the way and experience the pastoral life. The trails of Nangang Village and Wangping Village, connecting the Nangang Village Committee, are filled with the tranquility of the countryside with every step. The Fengcun trail winds and twists like a green ribbon through the lush woods, while the serenity of Baolin Temple offers a moment of peace amidst the hustle and bustle. In Huairou District, the Water Great Wall is complemented by mountain flowers and the ancient Great Wall, forming a magnificent picture. The Zhuangdaokou Great Wall witnesses the vicissitudes of history, while the Yaotaiyu Ancient Castle tells the stories of the years. The peaceful rural life of Shangwangyu Village is undoubtedly a journey back to nature. Each place has its unique charm, whether it's city parks or rural paths, all are telling the story of Beijing's diversity and the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature in their own ways.

Autumn came very slowly in Beijing this year, which extended the flowering period of many flower fields. Recently, this flower field first became popular because of the yellow cosmos flowers. Recently, countless Gesang flower fields have delayed their opening again, which is very rare in Beijing. 🉑Ge Sang flower, also known as Ge Sang Mei Duo (Persian chrysanthemum), is a plant from the plateau. It has thin branches and small petals. Although it looks fragile, it is beautiful without being delicate. It is weak but upright. The stronger the sunlight, the more brilliant it blooms. ☘️Just on the roadside at the foot of Baiwangshan Forest Park, you can see this sea of ​​flowers from a distance, eye-catching against the green background. When you walk closer, you will see tens of thousands of colorful Gesang flowers swaying in the autumn breeze. Coupled with the pure blue sky and white clouds, it is so beautiful to take pictures. The beauty of this flower lies in its high density and rich colors, which are very eye-catching. Because the sea of ​​flowers is large enough, visitors can greet them in any posture. ⏱️When to go? The flowering period is estimated to be more than half a month, so it should be possible to go before mid-October. 🌈What time is suitable to go? It is recommended to go in the morning, afternoon and evening as the light will be blocked by the mountains, so be sure to check the weather before going. 🧧Which scenery is worth seeing? Gesang flowers and cosmos flowers are separated, and both are beautiful, but I personally prefer the former. 🏠Which facilities are worth noting? The country park is rather deserted, without even facilities like toilets, let alone a canteen. There is a relatively high observation deck, suitable for overlooking. 📷About the photo location: The flower sea is huge, with a stone path in the middle, so it is easy to take portraits or landscapes 🚗How to get to this place? Locate the Jinwangze State Grid Charging Station in Haidian District. There are few parking spaces (I have personally tested that you can park on the northern side road), or take the subway line 16 and ride a bike to the station. ☎️How to buy tickets and make reservations? Free park, just go there 🔥Those must-see tips before checking in: 1. The sea of ​​flowers is not covered by anything and it is very sunny 2. There are many bees on the flowers, be careful of stings 3. There are dirt roads and high heels are not recommended 4. Pets allowed

Baiwang Mountain is not as well-known as Xiangshan Mountain, but its red leaves are just as beautiful and you can overlook Beijing from afar. Especially with its low altitude and multiple optional routes, it is very friendly to beginners and suitable for all ages. ⛰️ Compared to the spacious hiking trails in the park, I personally prefer the niche routes with a strong sense of forest, and you can also enjoy different beauty in late autumn and early winter. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
