What are the scenic spots worth visiting in Houhe River?

Houhe is on the north side of Badaling Great Wall, only 80 kilometers away from Beijing. It only takes about an hour to drive down the mountain, which greatly saves travel time and is very convenient. On the precipice of Houhe Gorge, the mountains are full of flowers in spring, clear springs and waterfalls in summer, red leaves in autumn and pure snow in winter. This is a rare outdoor paradise, which preserves the relatively primitive and unspoiled natural landscape, with both northern and southern customs.

Houhe Canyon is not clearly marked on the usual tourist maps. On the official map, this river winding in the low mountains on the northern edge of Yanqing Basin is called Gucheng River. In fact, Houhe River is a tributary of Gucheng River, which originates from Haituo Mountain, more than 30 kilometers northwest, and branches from Duyushan Mountain. The river that flows into the canyon in the south is what we usually call Houhe, and the river in the north is Gucheng River. The two rivers meet at Guishui River in the southeast. Because their water flows along the mountain, it is called the nine bends of the ancient city.

Because Houhe Canyon is an ancient limestone and dolomite geological structure, after thousands of years of surface water erosion and weathering, knife and axe cliffs have formed on both sides of the canyon. There are many stone pillars, stone tablets, swords and caves on the gorge wall, and there are stalagmites, stalactites and stone curtains in the caves, which are quite similar to Zhangjiajie, Hunan. The lake in the canyon is green, the mountains are reflected, the water is clear and foggy, the climate is cool and pleasant, the landscape is rich in layers, and the four seasons are distinct: the mountain flowers are warm in spring in bloom, cool in summer and crisp in autumn, and Ming Che in winter.

Guishui River is known as Lijiang River beyond the Great Wall and Rhine River in the East. The beauty of Houhe lies in mountains, rocks, forests, waterfalls, flowers and grass. You can feel the harmony between man and nature, and you can strike a chord between clarity, tranquility, seclusion and wildness.

In addition to returning by the original road, you can also choose Duyushan and Haituo Mountain, which have long routes, and you can choose Huangbai Temple and Longqing Gorge in the canyon (with ice in winter and boats in summer). In fact, there are many routes from Yingmengsi Mountain to the bottom of the canyon, but some routes are few or no one, and shrubs are difficult to walk. Newcomers are advised to take the conventional route as much as possible. The old donkey who likes exploring can try to open up a new route in and out of the canyon without destroying the ecology as much as possible.
