Lingshan, the roof of Beijing (the most comprehensive guide to Lingshan tourism)

In Zhou Bianyou, mountaineering has become the first choice for most tourists like me: to escape the heat and enjoy the scenery. Even if I can't realize my desire to "enter Tibet" for the time being because of transportation and accommodation factors, it will not reduce my desire to see the mountains, enjoy the scenery, save my strength and challenge the sky. After all, there is a "little Tibet" around Beijing.

Lingshan, the highest peak in Beijing

Beijing Lingshan Scenic Area is located in the northwest mountainous area of Mentougou District, bordering Zhuolu County and Huailai County of Zhangjiakou City. There are three famous Lingshan in the network: Dongling Mountain, Xiling Mountain and Beiling Mountain. This makes many friends who have never been in contact with Lingshan lose their direction for a while and don't know which one is the "true Buddha". In fact, lingshan scenic spot in Mentougou is the orthodox Lingshan, namely "Dongling Mountain", while "Xiling Mountain" is the small Wutai Mountain (in Yuxian County, Zhangjiakou) commonly referred to as outdoor "donkey friends", while the so-called "Beiling Mountain" is the local name of a sub-peak (in Huailai County) on the north side of the main peak in lingshan scenic spot.

The main peak of lingshan scenic spot is 2303 meters above sea level, which is the first peak in Beijing in terms of regional scope. Together with tall mountains and scattered peaks, it forms the "roof" mountain network in Beijing.

Lingshan reiki

As the "roof" of Beijing, Lingshan is full of magic in the eyes of people who love it. In case of going to Lingshan in alternate seasons, under the changes of air pressure, humidity and vegetation, the dense fog and water vapor will make the mountain looming, more mysterious than sunny days, and look like a mountain from a distance and close. At this time, it happens that you are walking in the Panshan Canyon of Lingshan, so you can experience the "aura" of Lingshan in the nearest distance.

Lingshan is not only an ancient battlefield in history, but also a battlefield where the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese invaders fought fiercely many times. Today, there are still relics of the ancient Great Wall on the top of Lingshan Mountain, and stone walls and beacon towers are faintly visible. Within the 25 square kilometers of Lingshan Scenic Area in Fiona Fang, the most representative features are majestic peaks, various wild flowers, vast alpine meadows and abundant wildlife resources.

The alpine meadow, which rises gently in the main scenic spot of Lingshan, spreads on the top of the 3000-acre Fiona Fang, like a green carpet, with more than 800 kinds of plants. On the lush green carpet, all kinds of Shan Ye flowers, lush bushes, flocks of cattle and sheep, 5,000 mu of towering birch forest and pine forest complement each other. The daily temperature difference between Lingshan and Beijing is 10℃~ 12℃. When you are in such a cool and pleasant environment in full of green, you can fully enjoy the gift of nature.

Lingshan is a wild zoo in nature. There are more than 700 kinds of wild animals living here all the year round. Inadvertently, you may find many small creatures living in pine forests, meadows, grasses and even rock corners, such as active squirrels, shiny foxes, agile rabbits, flocks of pheasants, fearless wild goats, sensitive roe deer, jumping wild boar and so on. Of course, there is another kind of boat in Qinghai-yak. Lingshan scenic spot also has a rare bird-brown eared pheasant. These wild animals coexist harmoniously under the protection of Lingshan, and at the same time make Lingshan full of more aura and charm, forming a relatively primitive ecological natural landscape.

It's really a blur.

It takes only 25 minutes to reach the top of the mountain by taking the aerial ropeway with a total length of 1548 meters and a drop of more than 430 meters from the center of lingshan scenic spot, which is convenient for many middle-aged and elderly tourists and children.

When you take the cable car in sunny weather, most of the scenic spots will appear in your field of vision, which is convenient for photographers to shoot large scenes such as the prospect of Lingshan. However, if the weather changes (the altitude of Lingshan Mountain is high, and the climate changes extremely quickly), due to clouds, rain and fog, the eyes of tourists who take the cable car will be more confined to the very close visual range, and everything in the distance will be covered from time to time. Of course, optimistic and poetic people will describe this feeling as "being in a fairyland". When I am in the fog, I am covered with a summer mat, but it is not the cold feeling in winter. Fortunately, tourists don't look lonely in this environment. When you look down at the hillside grass under your feet and the nearby ridge road, you will find colorful wild flowers swaying to you frequently under the breeze and clouds, while tourists wearing colorful clothes are struggling to climb to the top of the mountain on the stone steps road not far from the ropeway.

The most interesting thing is to see the wild flowers and plants on the alpine meadow in the clouds. The relationship between clouds and fog will make your eyes more focused on a certain place. The flowering period of Lingshan starts from the end of June and the beginning of July every year, and it doesn't start to decrease until mid-September. By the end of September, the flowering period was basically over. After arriving at the meadow on the top of lingshan scenic spot, your sight is basically occupied by a wide variety of unknown wild flowers, among which the yellow flowers on Huanghuapo grow vigorously, while the bright golden lotus, wild poppy, slender green bristlegrass, blue-purple delphinium and pink wild roses in five rooms can be seen everywhere. In fact, careful tourists can easily find that with the change of altitude, the types of wild flowers and plants are also changing.

If you enjoy wild flowers and plants on cloudy days, rainy days and foggy days, it will be different from sunny days: wild flowers will look more beautiful, and weeds will look more quiet and pity. With the breeze, the moist air is filled with the fragrance of wild flowers.

Lingshan accommodation strategy:

Four seasons tourism in Lingshan, especially in summer (peak season). With more tourists, accommodation will be correspondingly tight, and house prices will naturally rise. How high is it?

The origin of Lingshan

The original name of Lingshan is "Tianyunshan", which means "the clouds are in the mountains and the mountains are in the sky". The sky, clouds and mountains are integrated, and the clouds turn the mountains into light and shade. The origin of the name "Tianyunshan" is evidenced by the inscription unearthed from Xiangu's tomb on the south side of the main peak of Lingshan, also known as "Fanshan". According to "Wanping County Records", Lingshan is also called "Fanshan" because of its perennial snow.

Known as Dongling Mountain, it is said that it began in the Yuan Dynasty, that is, after the completion of Lingyan Temple in Qijiazhuang Village, west of Beijing, a banner was hung in the lobby of Lingyan Temple, saying, "Lingyan Temple is looking for aura, and aura comes from Dongling Mountain". People thought that "Dongling Mountain" on the banner meant "Tian Yun" or "Fanshan", so the name of Dongling Mountain began.

It was called "Lingshan" not long ago. In the old society, when people were praying for immortals and worshipping Buddha, simple people at the foot of Lingshan thought that Lingshan, shrouded in clouds, must have aura. More and more people pray for holy water and immortal souls. Every time they pray for it, the name of "Lingshan" spreads.
