The best places to go for a self-driving trip during the Spring Festival in Beijing

The best places for a self-driving trip during the Spring Festival in Beijing are Tanghekou, Shentangyu, Qingliang Valley, Diaowo Village, and Lianquan Xianggu.

1. Tanghekou

The terrain of Tanghekou Town is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The terrain is divided into three types: plains, hills and mountains, river valleys and ravines, but the terrain is mainly mountainous. The terrain south of Tanghekou Town is dominated by plain landforms. The highest peak in the territory, Siduhe Gaojian, is located at the junction of Laogoumen Manchu Township and Nianzi Township in the northwest, with an altitude of 1,507 meters. The lowest point is near Hou'anling at the southeast end, with an altitude of 247.4 meters.

2. Shentangyu Valley

At the bottom of the valley is the clear and flowing Yanqi River, and on both sides are picturesque mountains with unique landscapes. In the Shentangyu Scenic Area, the hillside stone waterfalls have strange shapes, and the Longtan has clear blue water. In summer, you can swim while admiring the small waterfalls pouring down from the huge bare rocks.

3. Qingliang Valley

This place is surrounded by majestic peaks reaching into the sky. There are lush forests and abundant grass everywhere, especially many pines and cypresses, which grow lushly all year round without any soil. On the cliffs, this tenacious and majestic temperament gives people a sense of hard work and makes the mountains more majestic and green. The granite is covered with green makeup, which is a sight in Yunmeng and the suburbs of Beijing. Looking at the waterfall, it is more than 70 meters high.

4. Diaowo Village

The environment of Diaowo Village is beautiful, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with the fragrance of flowers overflowing. Looking up, you can see the rolling mountains, green and beautiful, which makes people relaxed and happy. Diaowo Village is both ancient and modern. It is a magical small mountain village where natural landscape and human civilization are harmoniously unified, mutually reinforcing, and perfectly combined. Therefore, it has attracted many cultural celebrities to live here, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and enjoy a paradise-like life.

5. Lianquan Xianggu Valley

Lianquan Xianggu Valley combines green mountains and green waters, dangerous peaks and canyons, spiritual springs and waterfalls, dense forests and caves, and strange mountains and rocks. In natural scenic areas, the year-round temperature is 3-5°C lower than that in urban areas. There are 5,000 meters of winding paths in the scenic area, and you can see Tiangong Cave, Maotou Mountain, Three Pools and Two Waterfalls, Shenmachang, May Glacier, Shougui Bearing, Yanqi Source, Original Secondary Forest, Wentian Terrace and many other landscapes.
