What are the fun places in Beijing? Can any Beijing friend recommend this? Thanks

The latest comparison of scenic spots around Beijing

It is close to 5.1, and many people may be planning to visit the scenic spots around Beijing. In fact, there are still many places to visit around Beijing. After SARS this year, I have climbed 9 scenic spots around Beijing. I have a better understanding of the current situation of these places. Based on my own subjective perception, I will make some evaluations of them. Please forgive me for any inappropriateness:

1. Jiankou Great Wall:

a) Located in Huairou, it is the most steep Great Wall near Beijing and also the most beautiful, surpassing the Great Wall that Jinshanling-Simatai crosses.

b) It takes about 10 hours to travel through Jiuyan Tower-Zhenbei Tower, and you must be energetic. Most people need to bring ropes, and some places require rope protection to pass. The reason for the slow travel speed is that the Great Wall has collapsed in many places and requires crawling in many places.

c) After September 1, 2003, the Great Wall Protection Regulations came into effect, and casual climbing of the Great Wall is no longer allowed.

d) The sunrise and sunset here are excellent places for photography

e) The Beijing Festival, the Ladder to Heaven, and the Eagle Flying Up are relatively dangerous places

f) People who climb here can basically take away their own garbage and have a strong awareness of environmental protection.

2. Five Towers:

a) On the way to Heilongtan, it is about 3 kilometers away from the Heilongtan Scenic Area;

b) Five Towers The top of the fifth building is an excellent place to view the Miyun Reservoir. On the third building (or the second floor) there is the site where the educated youth lived when they opened up wasteland;

c) The time to climb to the top is about 2-3 Hours later, the height is 1020 meters. The pond area formed by the two creeks in the middle is relatively easy to rest, but the road to the 5th floor is difficult to climb and requires a pair of good shoes;

d) The There are very few tourists at the scenic spots, and the Huaxi Village at the bottom of the mountain is also good. However, when I went there for the second time, the staff of the hotel actually said that the mountain was contracted by them, and that it was contracted to Siemens that weekend, and no one else was allowed to go up the mountain. The attitude is quite bad.

3. Wuling Mountain:

a) It is located at the junction of Hebei and Beijing. It takes about 3 hours to drive from Beijing to Nanmen (Xinglong County, Hebei). It is very good to watch the sunrise. The top of the mountain The altitude is about 2100 meters;

b) You can see the top of the mountain from the south gate, but you cannot drive up the mountain from the west gate and north gate (within Beijing);

c) Divided into 4 The west gate and the north gate enter one of the scenic spots respectively, but the four scenic spots are connected;

d) The best scenic spots are the Waitaofeng Scenic Spot for viewing the sun on the top of the mountain and the scenic spot near the south gate, followed by It is the scenic spot near the west gate, and the last is the scenic spot near the north gate;

e) If you want to visit all 4 scenic spots here, you need to stay overnight

4. Yunmeng Mountain:

a) Located in Huairou, there are not too many tourists in the scenic spot. The top of the mountain is 1413.7 meters high and is often shrouded in clouds and mist;

b) This scenic spot has mountains, water and waterfalls, and overall It feels good. If you are not strong enough, you don’t have to climb to the top, because if the top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and fog, the viewing effect will not be good; there is a Sun Bin Temple ruins near the top of the mountain, which may be disappointing

c) Drive from From Beijing to Huairou, take Huaifeng Road (Huairou to Fengning). It takes about 2-3 hours to reach the ticket office. The height here is more than 700 meters;

d) There are garbage baskets along the way, and there are people buying water. You don’t have to pay too much for food, etc.

5. Ziyun Mountain:

a) On the way to Yunmeng Mountain, this scenic spot is not well known and there are very few tourists. The mountain view is good, the water view of Tongtian River is even better, and the feeling of jumping along the stones in the river is also good;

b) The water in Yaochi at the end of the scenic spot is very good. Without others, I I stayed there for a very long time and it was an excellent place to rest;

c) The overall difficulty is not high, plus the scenery is good and there are few tourists, so it is very suitable for young people in love;

d) There are no supply vendors along the way, so you must bring all the food and drink you need; unfortunately, although there are not many people, garbage can be seen everywhere

e) The chestnut forest here is very good,

6. Fenghuangling:

a) It is located in Haidian, and the characteristics of Stone Mountain are more obvious;

b) It is not difficult and there are many tourists

7. Balcony Mountain:

a) It is located in Haidian and connected to Jiufeng. If you are not careful when climbing the mountain, it is easier to enter another scenic spot

b) In fact, you can drive there Relatively high places on the mountain,

c) Climbing back along Yangtang Mountain, you can enter Miaofeng Mountain in Mentougou. The ancient road to the back of the mountain is less crowded and has been covered by various shrubs, so long clothes are required. Long trousers are more suitable

8. Jiufeng:

a) Located in Haidian, the characteristics are not very strong

b) It is not difficult and there are many tourists

p>

9. Huyu:

a) No need to climb the mountain, just walk in the ravine, but the water flow is very small;

b) The mountain soil on both sides is ocher red, it is estimated that One of the eight scenic spots in ancient Yanjing where the Huyu Valley will appear golden at sunset

c) Overall it is not very fun

Except for Wuling Mountain, these places are all day trips, so they are suitable People who are willing to spend one day on the weekend to torture themselves, and the remaining day to rest and tidy up the house. Generally, the intensity of activities on this day is relatively high, so be prepared. If you are not strong enough, you don’t have to climb to the top. But generally speaking, the further you go up the mountain, the fewer people there are and the mood of viewing the scenery will be different.

The above ranking is basically based on my own feelings, and those ranked first are highly recommended.

A one-shot view for your reference.

Scenery: Chongwen District: Temple of Heaven

In Chongwen District, Beijing, a few kilometers southeast of the Forbidden City, there is a huge temple to worship heaven. This is the Temple of Heaven.

The total area of ??the Temple of Heaven is 2.7 million square meters, which is four times larger than the Forbidden City. The emperor of China is known as the "Tianzi", which is also the "son of heaven". Naturally, the emperor's residence would not be bigger than "God's". The Temple of Heaven covers an area of ??273 hectares. The architectural layout is in the shape of "Hui" and is divided into two parts: the inner altar and the outer altar by two altar walls. The total length of the outer altar wall is 6416 meters, and the total length of the inner altar wall is 3292 meters. The southernmost wall is square, symbolizing the earth, and the northernmost wall is semicircular, symbolizing the sky. The north is high and the south is low. This means that the sky is high and the sky is low, and it also means "the sky is round and the earth is round". The main buildings of the Temple of Heaven are concentrated at the north and south ends of the central axis of the inner altar, which are connected by a wide Danbi Bridge. From south to north they are the Circular Mound Altar, the Imperial Vault of Heaven, the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, and the Huangqian Hall. There are buildings and monuments such as the Divine Kitchen, the Sacrifice Pavilion and the Zhai Palace. The Temple of Heaven has ingenious design, harmonious colors and superb architectural art. It is one of the most outstanding ancient buildings in China. In addition to "Heaven", the Chinese emperor also had many gods to worship, including gods of earth, water, agriculture, military, society, religion, citizens, and his own ancestral tablets. Therefore, sacrificial activities were the emperor's main job, which continued throughout the year and consumed a lot of time. Royal sacrificial buildings were also spread across the capital and each had its own characteristics, becoming a unique scenery in Beijing. Tickets: 10 yuan in off-season (November 1-March 31), 15 yuan in peak season (April 1-October 31). Opening hours: 8:30--18:30 Transportation: Accessible by buses 17, 54, and 106.

Danbi Bridge is the north-south avenue connecting the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and the Imperial Vault. It is 360 meters long and 29.4 meters wide. It is named the bridge because there is a tunnel under the road that crosses it. The southern end of the bridge is about 1 meter high, and the northern end is about 4 meters high. It gradually rises from south to north, symbolizing the emperor's ascent step by step, implying the meaning of ascending to heaven. Because it is the way to heaven, it is also called "Shinto". On both sides of the Shinto is the "Royal Way" on the left and the "King Way" on the right. The gods of heaven follow the divine way, the emperor follows the royal way, and the princes and ministers follow the royal way.

The Yuanqiu Altar is located in the south of the Temple of Heaven. It is the place where the emperor worships the sky on the winter solstice, so it is also called the Tiantai, Tiantai, altar, etc. It was built in the ninth year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1530). The original altar surface and guardrails were made of blue glazed bricks. It was expanded in the 14th year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1749). The railings and pillars were made of white marble, and the altar surface was made of mugwort bluestone. . The altar is circular and has three floors. The number of pillars and steps on each floor are in Yang numbers (i.e. nine and multiples of nine, symbolizing heaven). Except for the round stone in the center of the altar, the outer circles are all fan-shaped, and their numbers are also yang numbers. There are two layers of relic walls (low walls) outside the altar, circular on the inside and square on the outside. There are white marble four pillars, three gates and a star gate on each side. There are three lampstands in the southwest corner (only one is left now), and there are burnt wood stoves, kankans, and service platforms in the south of the altar. The ancillary buildings of the Circular Qiu Altar include the Imperial Vault and its verandahs, the divine storehouse, the divine kitchen, the slaughtering platform, and the three storehouses (sacrificial utensils storehouse, musical instrument storehouse, and brown recommendation storehouse).

The echo wall is located in the Circle Qiu Temple of Heaven. To the north of the altar is the place where the sacred tablets of the Circular Mound Altar are stored. The round shape of the main hall symbolizes the sky. It was built in the ninth year of Jiajing's reign in the Ming Dynasty and was originally named Taishen Temple. In November of the seventeenth year of Jiajing's reign, it was renamed Huangqiongyu. In the Ming Dynasty, it was a building with double eaves and a round spire. It was rebuilt in the 17th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty and changed to a gold-plated roof with a single eaves and blue tiles and a round spire. There are five east and west verandahs each, which store the circular mounds and sacred tablets. The main hall and the east and west verandahs are completely enclosed by a wall. Because the inner wall is flat and smooth, sound can be transmitted along the inner arc, so it is called the echo wall. In addition, there are three wonderful three-tone stones in front of the south steps of the Imperial Vault. Standing on the stones and high-fiving, you can hear the echo, which is very interesting.

The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is the place where the emperor prayed for a good harvest and is the central building of the entire Temple of Heaven. It is a circular hall with triple eaves, 38 meters high and 32.72 meters in diameter. It has a basket-colored glazed tile roof, an all-brick and wood structure, and no long purlins or beams. It is entirely supported by 28 wooden columns and 36 beams. In terms of the shape of the building, Has high artistic value. The four "Longjing pillars" in the center of the hall represent the four seasons of the year, the 12 pillars in the middle layer symbolize the 12 months, the 12 pillars in the outer circle symbolize the 12 hours, and the 24 inner and outer eaves pillars represent the 24 solar terms. The stone pillars and pillars inside and outside the palace all use dragons and phoenixes as decorative patterns, which are extremely luxurious and are exquisite works of stone carving art.

Scenery: Haidian District: Xiangshan

Also known as Jingyi Garden, it is located in the western suburbs of Haidian District, Beijing, 20 kilometers away from the urban area, with a total area of ??160 hectares. It is named after the huge rocks in the mountain that are shaped like incense burners. It is a famous forest park in Beijing. In 1186, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty built Yong'an Temple here, and built a palace next to the temple. After successive expansions, it was named Jingyi Garden in the tenth year of Qianlong's reign (1745). It was looted and burned in 1860 and 1900. After 1949, most of the scenic spots were restored. The main attractions include Guijianchou, Yuhua Villa, Shuangqing Villa, etc. Guijianchou is the main peak of Xiangshan Mountain, also called Xianglu Peak, with an altitude of 557 meters. It is called Guijianchou because the mountain is steep and difficult to climb. Nowadays, you can take a cable car to the top, which only takes 18 minutes, or you can also hike to the top. Standing on the main peak and looking around, you can clearly see Shijing Mountain, the Summer Palace, and Yuquan Mountain. When the weather is clear, you can also clearly see the city of Beijing.

It is an elegant and pleasant place. Shuangqing Villa is a small courtyard with beautiful scenery, elegance and tranquility. From March to November 1949, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China moved here from Xibaipo Village, Pingshan County, Hebei Province. Mao Zedong once worked and lived here, and some pictures and cultural relics are now on display.

The red leaves of Xiangshan are the most famous. Every autumn, the leaves of cotinus all over the mountains and plains are as red as flames. These cotinus trees were planted during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Over the past 200 years, a cotinus forest area with 94,000 cotinus trees has gradually formed. The best season for viewing red leaves is from mid-October to early November every year. The red leaves usually last for about one month. Banshan Pavilion, Yuhua Villa and Langfeng Pavilion are all good places to see red leaves. Xiangshan also has scenic spots such as Spectacle Lake, Jianxinzhai, Zhaomiao Temple, Banshan Pavilion, Xiangshan Temple, Hongguang Temple, and Senyu Wat.
