Mount Wuling

Wuling Mountain is a national nature reserve, with a forest coverage rate of 93%, and the main peak is 2118 meters above sea level, which is one of the peaks of Yanshan Mountain. It has "peach blossoms under the mountain, snowflakes on the mountain", "rainy under the mountain, sunny on the mountain", "has three miles of different days, one mountain has three seasons".

At the junction of Beijing and Chengde, Yanshan is the highest peak, there are not many people, and the landscape is amazing. The scenic spot is very large. The south gate to the north gate and the top of the mountain have been repaired. It is not tired to drive all the way. The scenic spots along the way are very unique. The oxygen-rich ions are high. It is worth playing for a day!

Hebei Wulingshan National Nature Reserve is located in the north of Xinglong County, Hebei Province, the main peak Wuling Mountain is 2118 meters high, known as the "first peak of Jingdong".

It is also a good teaching practice base.

Self-driving tour of Wulingshan Forest Park during the National Day holiday. Departure from Beijing in time 3.5 hour, arrive at the south gate of Wuling Mountain from Xinglong, Hebei. After purchasing the ticket, drive in, follow the road of the scenic spot, take a car all the way to see the scenery outside the window, and park at the scenic spot to see the scenery. Fairy Tall, Yiran Pavilion, Wuling Jinshan, Qingliang Jiebei,... Wuling Mountain main peak 2118 meters, windy and low temperature. Fortunately, I brought my own cotton clothes. The top platform also has cotton coats for rent. The car drives to the top of the mountain platform, and you have to walk a step to the top of the mountain. There are hotels and restaurants in the scenic area. Tickets for the scenic spot are 108 yuan, 60-65 half price, and more than 65 are free. Self-driving cars do not charge fares. It took more than 4 hours to walk from the south gate to the north gate and stop. Maybe it saves time on weekdays. It takes 1500 meters to go to Longmen Waterfall, and time and physical strength are not enough and give up. Take the cable car for 80 yuan. The scenic road is a cement road, the road is narrow, and you need to drive carefully. The west gate of the scenic spot cannot be entered by car, only on foot. In short, self-driving tour Wuling Mountain is a good experience.

The writing is limited, written into running accounts for your reference. On July 18, 2020, I left at 6 am. I took Jinyu Expressway, Jinwei Highway, 233 National Highway, 556 Provincial Highway, 262 Country Road to the destination Wuling Mountain South Gate. There was an episode between them. There was a shortcut because of the rain the day before. The water in the tunnel could not pass and had to be diverted for half an hour. It was 10 o'clock in the morning before arriving at the main entrance. Stayed at the Linhai Yuntian Viewing Pavilion for 10 minutes. Because of the rain yesterday, I only saw a foggy area. The mountains in the distance were not clear. It was a sense of a fairyland on earth. "Tree stone wonder" has different shapes of boulders, feeling in the stone seams can also thrive on the weeds. At the Lotus Pool Hotel booked by Ctrip, the accommodation is generally soundproofed. I feel that the two rooms are directly separated by a piece of paper. The food is not delicious. If you eat, don’t order the so-called specialties. The dishes taste very salty, not generally salty, the bath water is very hot, the washing is comfortable, the mountain is really cold, It's a bit cold to wear half sleeves, of course, it's okay not to be afraid of the cold. My husband and I went to the hotel to take a shower first. Departing at 11 o'clock, I didn't look at the road seriously at the beginning (here is to explain that the scenic spot logo is not very conspicuous, I must be optimistic about the route), first opened the road to the top of the mountain for ten minutes, and then returned to the Longtan Scenic Area (the top of the mountain has no scenery except for the sunset and the sea of clouds and sunrise), It is estimated that it will be 12 o'clock to reach the Longtan Scenic Area, take the cableway 80/person, and reach the Longtan Waterfall. Although the Longtan Waterfall is not wide, you can still see it (there is a step here). Continue to go down, it may be that we chose lunch time very few people, before and after can not see people, can not hear people, rare quiet, all the way to enjoy the scenery that belongs to us. Xiaohukou Waterfall is not worse than Longtan Scenic Area, wider than it but smaller than the gap. It may be only for the two of us. I like it very much. I really want to live in a small house to escape the city. All the way to the creek, reminds me of the "Shepherd Song" in the movie "Shaolin Temple". I walked to the west gate and returned. There were more people. I was very fortunate that I didn't have lunch at the hotel. I came back a little anxious, quite tired, sweating, almost 3 o'clock back to the Longtan Scenic Area parking lot, continue to cool the border scenic spot. There are only some peaks in the Qingliangjie Scenic Area, and the scenic spot logo is not very obvious. We look at the first floor all the way and guess. Some sections will have places where you can park your car for you to see, but it is not as beautiful as the road. Wuling Jinshan did not feel it, maybe there is no sun. When I arrived at the Qingliangjiebei, I was amazed at how the ancients carved on such a high stone. I took a break and returned. When I immediately went to the parking lot of Longtan Scenic Area, there were two small observation decks to see. My husband said that it was no worse than the fog pine in Huangshan. It was almost 6 o'clock when I returned to the hotel. After dinner, I walked around the hotel and found the "Furong Pavilion" and "Ninja" and found a flower called "Short hair and live alone". Driving to the top of the mountain, due to the epidemic, the top of the mountain hotel did not open, there were several photography enthusiasts waiting for the sunset, but unfortunately the fog was too big and nothing was seen. We took advantage of the day to break through the thick fog and return to the hotel. At 6 o'clock the next morning, I went to the top of the mountain to see the sea of clouds (because I was afraid that the fog would not see the sunrise and I didn't go early). The sea of clouds was still very beautiful. I only had all the photos on my mobile phone. Although the equipment was not good, the scenery was still good (so the best scenery). But it was really cold. One big brother spent the night in the car in order to take pictures. He said that he saw the Milky Way at 11 o'clock and it was not frozen. If you want to see, you must wear cold clothes and warm pants. I was frozen into a dog (although at 7 o'clock in the morning, I only stayed for half an hour). Return to the hotel for breakfast at 7 o'clock (15 yuan a person, a boiled egg, some pickles, Hanamaki steamed buns, noodle porridge), check out and drive to the fairy tower scenic spot. On the road, I passed the Linhai Yuntian Viewing Pavilion, and it was a scenery. The sun came out and there was a feeling of Buddha light, but there was still fog on the mountainside. At 9 o'clock, I arrived at the parking lot of the fairy tower scenic spot. I climbed many steps. There is a small waterfall in the middle to see part of the fairy tower, and the entire fairy tower can be seen at the highest point. Walk back to the parking lot, go down the mountain in an inconspicuous small mouth is "18 Tan", we walked to the "Qianxi Waterfall" and returned (for fear that the physical strength is not enough to go home, the next day to work, plan to go again next year, the rest of the part). On the way back to the south gate, I went to the "Linhai Yuntian Viewing Pavilion" for the third time and the fog was scattered. I was fortunate to see the rainbow 🌈. In summary, for the first time friends, 1. Self-driving is a must. 2. Friends who have high requirements for eating are best to bring their own food. 3. Friends who want to watch the sunrise and sunset sea of clouds bring more clothes. 4. One day is definitely not enough, two days are almost 5. The better scenery is in Longtan Scenic Area and the Fairy Tower Scenic Area. If you want to slip through, I think it will take three days.

Very cool scenic spot, small streams, strange stones stand, dense vegetation, good weather, you can see the sea of clouds, sunrise, very suitable for summer summer!
