Where can I shoot the starry sky around Beijing? Recommended locations for shooting starry sky around Beijing.

Beijing is an ancient city full of humanity and wisdom. The area around Beijing is very large. In some places that are not surrounded by urban development, the starry sky at night is still very Ming Che. You can find a good weather and shoot a wave of starry sky at night. Here, I'd like to share with you a complete set of exterior shots of the starry sky around Beijing.

Miyun Reservoir Shitang Road

Distance: 93 kilometers

Driving time: 1.5 hours

Miyun Reservoir has always been a place that I find very interesting and worth exploring. Its east and south banks are flat and vast lakes, while its northeast coast is rugged, and mountains emerge from the lake. There are the Beijing-Tianjin Railway that winds through it, and the unique canal in the 1960s.

In my opinion, the scenery of Shitang Road is the most worth seeing. The lake fills the valley between the mountains, just like an island floating on the water.

You can easily find a relatively high hill on Shitang Road. Standing on it, you can overlook the whole lake.

This is also where I filmed the total lunar eclipse. At that time, when the earth's shadow completely blocked the moon, the moon turned dull red. At this time, the stars and the milky way quickly emerged in the sky, and the lake was as calm as a mirror. There are stars in the sky and in the lake.

That moment really shocked me. Looking at the stars, I completely forgot the cold in late autumn.

In fact, Miyun Reservoir will surprise you from the evening. Looking in the direction of the backlight, Xia Guang glided on the water, flickering.

Tips: Shitang Road Village is a village with good tourism development. Food and shelter are not a problem. Eating fish next to the reservoir is naturally very convenient and fresh.

It should be noted that there are many wild wild jujube trees on the hill of Shitang Road. Their branches are covered with barbs, and if they meet, their clothes will often be scratched. It is recommended to wear coats and other clothes when climbing mountains.

Jinshanling Great Wall and Jiankou Great Wall

Distance: 90km from Jiankou Great Wall; Jinshanling Great Wall 138km

Driving time: 2 hours.

For shooting the starry sky, the perfect scenery is actually as important and rare as sunny weather. The Great Wall landscape must be close to Beijing, and it is easier to have its own characteristics. At present, only Jinshanling and some wild Great Walls can be opened near Beijing at night.

I think the most beautiful thing about the Wild Great Wall is the arrow buckle. In fact, I think it is not difficult to climb the mountain just to reach the shooting point of the arrow buckle, but it is more difficult to walk between the beacon towers of the Great Wall at night.

Jinshanling is more suitable for shooting starry sky with low difficulty and high efficiency. In this respect, Jinshanling's tickets are also very friendly. It is a universal ticket that can be entered many times in two days, that is, a ticket can be swiped repeatedly and entered at night. It is for the convenience of photographers who get up early to shoot the sunrise.

Moreover, the climbing difficulty of Jinshanling is very low, so I won't get lost. I think everything is perfect except that it takes a little time. People usually choose to go to the Great Wall to shoot the sunset in the afternoon, then happily go to the foot of the mountain for dinner and rest, and then go to the Great Wall to shoot the starry sky after dark.

Jinshanling is the Great Wall that was repaired in the later period, but it still retains a large number of damaged beacon towers and other relics. This original appearance makes the photos look more real and durable.

Moreover, Jinshanling is more than 0/00 kilometers northeast of Beijing, with mountains in the middle. At night, the purity of dark night is high, and there is little light pollution.

Compared with Jinshanling, the situation of arrow buckle is a little more complicated. Driving to the foot of the mountain requires climbing to the beacon tower. Personally, I recommend climbing directly from the foot of the mountain to the north building, which is the best shooting position and can avoid the danger of walking on the wall of the Great Wall at night.

It takes about an hour and a half to walk from the parking lot at the foot of the mountain to the North Building, and it has been shuttling through the dense forest. But when you climb to the North Building, everything becomes suddenly clear, and the majestic and steep Great Wall scenery is in front of you.

Tips:

In fact, the Great Wall with the arrow buckle can't be found on the map, and there are many hiking routes at the foot of the mountain. You must try to get to know it for the first time, or go to the village at the foot of the mountain in advance to know the specific route and the names of the different beacon towers you arrive at.

If you are going to Zhengbei Building, it is recommended to navigate directly to Nanjili Village, park your car in the open space at the entrance of the village, and then start climbing. Mark the location of beacon tower on the satellite map in advance to avoid going in the wrong direction at the fork in the road.

A large part of the road up the mountain is a dirt road in troubled times, and it is easy to sprain your ankle. Please watch your step. It is recommended to climb to the beacon tower before dark. The broken wall in the beacon tower has been blocked by everyone, so you can camp when the weather is not cold.

Whether it is Jinshanling or Jiankou, you need to mark the starting point on the map and tell your friends or innkeeper where you are going before you leave. Mountain climbing at night is still very dangerous, and personal safety is the most important.

Wuling mountain

Distance:152km

Driving time: 3 hours

Although Wuling Mountain does not belong to Beijing, it is indeed the boundary mountain between Beijing and Hebei, and it is also the highest mountain near Beijing that can drive directly to the top of the mountain. The altitude of 2300 meters can isolate most of the smog and light pollution from the field of vision.

Moreover, there is often an independent microclimate here, and a sea of clouds often appears in the early morning of late summer. Because of the relatively high altitude, the top of the mountain is often even above low clouds, and it is almost common to see the Milky Way.

Wuling Mountain is not only a good place to watch stars, but also a good place for natural tourism. Because of the great difference in vertical altitude, the distribution of vegetation on the mountain varies greatly, from shrub trees at the foot of the mountain to ancient pine trees in the birch forest above, and even to alpine meadows near the top of the mountain.

I think the best time to go to Wuling Mountain is around 1 October1day. Larch turns golden and birch trees are red and yellow, which is especially beautiful. There are many clear springs and streams in the mountains, but Shui Han is sweet, which is very suitable for small-scale hiking and tourism in a day or two.

Tips:

Wuling Mountain is very high above sea level, and there are many vegetation water systems in the mountain. The average annual temperature is only 8 degrees Celsius. After autumn, the temperature may drop below zero at night, so we must make full preparations for cold protection.

In addition, there is a hotel on the top of the mountain, which is relatively small and may be booked during the eleventh period, while there is a relatively large hotel near the top of the mountain, which is relatively large, but it is best to book it in advance.

In theory, tickets are sold in Wuling Mountain 24 hours a day, but people on duty often fall asleep at night, so they should knock at the door more often. As for accommodation at the foot of the mountain, eating is not a problem. Grilled fish and stewed chicken are still very recommended.

Miyun bulaotun weather station

1, a giant satellite with a diameter of more than 50 meters, shoots the best shape of the Milky Way.

2. It is far from the light pollution in the city (although there is still light pollution). Do the stars in the sky make you think this is Beijing?

There is a satellite array here, which is very magnificent and very suitable for the galactic orbit.

This is the closest place to Beijing where you can shoot the starry sky. I hope I can help you.
