[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Baimayu (Updated Jun)

📍: Five-Color Shallow Mountain Waterfront Hiking Trail 📆 Viewing period: Now to mid-December I didn't know what it meant to be surrounded by colorful mountains until I came to the Five-Color Shallow Mountain. And it's free! Compared to the well-known Fragrant Hills, Shunyi is a bit more atmospheric. Currently, the white hair valley is at its peak for red leaves, with 100% autumn vibes. The mountain is not high, with a gentle slope, making it friendly for all ages. The view is great for fall foliage. The road is a bit wild, with lots of gravel, so be careful. I would call it the best small mountain to climb! If you only go to the white hair valley, it takes less than 40 minutes to complete the whole journey. There are no restrooms or food supply points, so be prepared in advance.

Stop going to those crowded scenic spots to see the red leaves. Come and enjoy the red leaves at this free Wucai Qianshan in Shunyi! There are tens of thousands of acres of colorful leaf forests with different characteristics. The red leaves have entered the best viewing area, and the scenery is beautiful with few people! In the golden autumn, trees such as torches, cotinus, ingot maple, ginkgo, and ash all over the mountains and plains together outline a colorful landscape. At a glance, the shallow mountains and forests are dyed with dancing colors, shining like clouds. The Wucai Qianshan area is very large. Today we came to the [Wucai Qianshan-Longwantun section]. This section is in Longwantun Town, Shunyi District. The main line is 60 kilometers and the branch line is 30 kilometers. This 90-kilometer long Wucai Qianshan-Longwantun section The Duan National Hiking Trail is a comprehensive mountain country park that integrates forest landscape, pastoral scenery, and landscape culture, and features sports and leisure, self-cultivation, and health. 🍁Autumn viewing route: This is a leg-friendly route suitable for all ages! 🍁Wucai Qianshan is very big and has many entrances. We went up the mountain from the Baimaoyu parking lot, where the red leaves are the reddest and most abundant. The whole journey is less than three kilometers and only climbs more than 100 meters. It is very easy to take photos while walking. 🚗 Navigate to the Baimaoyu parking lot by car, enter from the main entrance, first walk up a dirt road up the mountain, and turn right after going up to the Red Leaf Tunnel, which is very beautiful. 🍁After taking pictures of the red leaf tunnel section, return to the dirt road and continue to the end where you turn right and there is a super beautiful forest. 🍁Follow the path past the iron tower and return to the main road and then turn left. This section is a bit wild but the path is clear, so don’t be afraid of getting lost. There are signs along the way to go down the mountain or go straight to the pavilion and then turn back. 🐶You can play with your cute pets here! Address: Wucai Qianshan, Shunyi District, Beijing 🎫Tickets: Free 🚗Parking: 20

Today, the red leaves of Wucai Qianshan are as beautiful as ever, but the number of visitors has surpassed that of the past two years on weekends, making the experience much less enjoyable. Route suggestions: 1. Enter the wooden walkway from the Zhonglong Leisure Station entrance and turn left at the end, where there are fewer people than at Baimao Valley. 2. For those with good physical strength, you can enter from the Baimao Valley entrance, pass the pavilion, and turn left at the fork in the road to reach the left turn of Route 1, where you can see both sides. Parking is free on the roadside, but after 9:00, parking spaces are limited, and you may have to drive far away. There are also picking gardens on the roadside where you can park for 20/vehicle.

Location: Wucai Qianshan Riverside National Hiking Trail, Baimaoyu Parking: Free Tickets: Free I don't know if it will be open normally this year. There are many small paths to enter. The main entrance is the Baimaoyu parking lot. If it is not open, you can DM me for the route. The nearby mountains are also great places to view red leaves. The mountains are easy to climb, just wear a pair of sneakers, and you can also bring pets. From the foot of the mountain, the layered colors come into view: the nearby black and gray tree trunks, and the red and yellow leaves. In the distance, the red, yellow, green, and the color of the mountain rocks overlap, creating a perfect color contrast. Both the close-up and distant views are great for photography. The parking lot closes around 5 PM, so if you want to watch the sunset, park outside the parking lot. If you just want to see the red leaves, you can return the same way after going up the mountain. There are also many orchard paths to go down the mountain, all of which easily lead to the parking lot. During the red leaf season, there will be a lot of people, and it gets extremely crowded every year. There are many stalls at the entrance of the parking lot selling pure natural and pollution-free fruits and vegetables. Best viewing period: Mid-October (the time may vary depending on the temperature each year) Precautions: 1. There are no restrooms on the mountain, but there are at the parking lot. 2. The temperature fluctuates greatly in autumn, so pay attention to adding or removing clothes. 3. There are usually many people in previous years, so it is recommended to go early.
