🚄【Take the S2 train to enjoy the flowers】
The S2 line of Juyongguan is a commuter train from Beijing North Station to Yanqing. Along the way, you can see peach and apricot blossoms all over the mountains. Along the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, you can feel the twists and turns of the herringbone. Your soul will be further sublimated in this short journey!
The S2 line does not require seat assignments. You can take Metro Line 13 to Huoying Station, exit at Exit G4, walk 110 meters, and transfer to the S2 line at Huangtudian Station. Or take Metro Line 8 to Huoying Station, exit at G4, walk 110m and transfer to Line S2 at Huangtudian Station.

If you don’t want to take the S2 but want to take photos of the beautiful flower sea train, we recommend “shooting on the Guangou Plank Road” and “shooting on the Juyongguan Great Wall”
🌉【shooting on the Guangou Plank Road】
Navigate to Juyongguan No. 2 parking lot, then walk to the “Guangou Plank Road”, which is opposite the Juyongguan Great Wall. Along the way, cross the arch bridge built by Zhan Tianyou and you will reach the entrance of the plank road. After entering the plank road, there is a section of road close to the railway, where you can wait for the train to turn. There are 4 observation decks on the plank road, and No. 2 observation deck has the most people and the best view. The most representative S-bend pictures were taken here. If you are lucky, you can take a picture of two cars passing through the sea of flowers; if there are many people, you can climb to the top, but if you want to take beautiful photos, you may need a professional camera.

⛰【Climb the Juyongguan Great Wall to take photos】
Navigate to Juyongguan No. 1 parking lot, which is closest to the entrance. The Beijing-Tibet Expressway is very congested, so be sure to leave early. After climbing up the enemy tower, you can take pictures of the train and the sea of flowers from every lookout. There are relatively few people on the flower-viewing train on the Great Wall, but the steps along the way are quite steep. Those with children should do so within their ability and put safety first.
