A must-visit in autumn! Fragrant Hills Park holds Beijing's most captivating four-season poetry.
If you were to ask which Beijing park embodies the beauty of each season to its fullest, the answer would undoubtedly be Fragrant Hills Park. Nestled in the foothills of the Western Hills, this classical garden not only carries a thousand years of history, but also offers a visual feast, making it a must-see destination for countless visitors.
Spring in Fragrant Hills is a gentle prelude. Wild peaches and apricots bloom along the mountain path, their pink and white petals drifting in the wind, creating a romantic "flower path." Within the park, the century-old cypresses sprout new green leaves, creating a striking contrast with the red walls and yellow tiles of the temple. A stroll through the garden is a delight.
I took a stroll through Fragrant Hill today. Autumn was in full swing, and the forests were ablaze with color. 🍁Walking along the winding mountain path, it felt like stepping into a flowing oil painting. The rustling of fallen leaves with every step lightened my mood. From the vantage point, I could see the entire city of Beijing. In that moment, all my worries drifted away. 🍂 Fragrant Hill, you're such a relaxing place! I'll definitely be back! 🌞

[View] Ulan Butong is a three-dimensional landscape blending grassland and forest, with elegant and beautiful Yin and soft in the south, masculine masculinity in the north, colorful feasts in the four seasons, humanistic and natural symphony of lakes and wetlands, and characteristics of biological diversity and multiple experiences.
The tourist highlights of Wulanbutong Grassland are rich and varied, covering natural landscapes, cultural history, special activities and food. The following is a detailed introduction:
Natural Landscape
- Vast grassland and diverse landforms: Wulanbutong Grassland is located in the Inner Mongolia Plateau, with an average altitude of 1,640 meters, and the grassland is vast. The eastern and central mountain ranges in the scenic area are continuous, and there are many sand dunes in the northwest. There are also wetlands, rivers, lakes, etc. For example, there are large areas of wetlands along the Wulan River and Jiangjun Paozi, with excellent vegetation and rich species.
- Colorful autumn colors of Wucai Mountain: From September to October every year, Wucai Mountain presents a colorful landscape due to its rich vegetation. The birch and poplar trees are yellow, the maple and oak trees turn red, the pines and cypresses are green all year round, and various shrubs are also of different colors, as if the palette has been overturned.
- European style scenery area: The rolling hills and grasslands are dotted with sparse or dense birch trees. The grassland and forest are perfectly integrated, and the scenery is charming, comparable to the European grassland scenery.
- Panlong Gorge: The Sarik River flows through the mountains and ridges in this valley. The steep banks are densely forested, and the valley bottom is covered with water and grass. The river is winding like a dragon for dozens of kilometers.
Humanities and History
- Ancient battlefield site: This was the ancient battlefield where Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty personally fought against Galdan. There are ruins such as General Paozi, Twelve Camps, and Tong Guogang's Tomb. It is said that General Paozi was formed by the gushing out of groundwater after the Qing army's artillery scattered Galdan's camel formation.
- Film and TV shooting base: Wulanbutong is a famous film and TV location shooting site. More than 60 film and TV works such as "My Fair Princess", "Kangxi Dynasty" and "Emperor Wu of Han" were filmed here. There are many stone tablets of film and TV dramas in the scenic area, which has become a popular choice for tourists to check in.
Special activities and food
- Folk culture activities: Grassland Nadam is a traditional Mongolian festival, with horse racing, wrestling, archery and other competitive events. In addition, there are bonfire parties, Wulanbutong Night and other activities, where tourists can sing and dance with herdsmen and experience ethnic culture.
- Grassland entertainment projects: You can experience horse riding, camel riding, sand motorcycles, sand sliding and other entertainment projects, galloping on the grassland, feeling the pleasure of the wind whistling in your ears, or take an off-road vehicle deep into the hinterland of the grassland to explore those little-known beauties.
- Mongolian specialties: There are meat delicacies such as roasted lamb legs, beer-baked lamb, and air-dried beef, as well as special drinks such as kumis. Visitors can taste the authentic Mongolian flavor.

Shi Tiesheng Ditan Temple is a famous Beijing scenic spot. It is clean and has a good environment. It is generally well received. It is quite recommended and affordable. It is recommended for people from all over the world to visit, especially for travel enthusiasts and those with children.
I went to the altar of the altar of the earth, and the altar of the heavens was square. Although it is not as big as the altar of heaven, the altar is shocking enough, and the tickets are much cheaper. And there are really not many people in the altar, and it is very suitable for sunbathing. It is a great thing in life to move a chair to the temple park in the afternoon! ! !

Xiucai said that Guide Li's explanation was excellent, humorous, and knowledgeable. He taught me a lot. This was not only a tour but also a historical education. Thank you Guide Li, I am very satisfied.
The Summer Palace is worth a visit. Guide Sun's in-depth explanations are both historical and interesting, and it was fun to take the children along. My only regret was that the long-awaited boat tour was cancelled due to strong winds. I'll have to experience it next time!

The road to Tanzhe Temple is currently under construction, with some sections now only open in one direction. I recommend going early or avoiding weekends and holidays. The temple itself is also undergoing repairs, with some areas fenced off. The ginkgo trees haven't even turned yellow yet, but burning incense and worshipping Buddha isn't affected. I especially love standing between the two ginkgo trees; I feel so insignificant.
It's a bit early to come here, the ginkgo leaves haven't turned yellow yet, it will probably be early November. The road is under construction and the traffic jam is too serious. The two big ginkgo trees are really shocking, I can't imagine how beautiful they will be when they turn yellow.

If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, Gubei Water Town is the perfect place! Here, you can truly slow down. Stroll through the deserted alleys in the early morning, listening to birdsong and the murmur of flowing water. In the afternoon, sip tea in a window-side teahouse while watching the boats slowly glide by. At night, sit on the inn terrace and look up at the outline of the Simatai Great Wall. There are no crowds (especially if you visit during off-peak hours), just a leisurely pace of life. After your visit, you'll feel completely refreshed.
Very beautiful place. Water dance, Drone show and fire performances are amazing.

Today's trip to Hongluo Temple was particularly enjoyable. Although there were not many people on weekdays, the tour guide was very enthusiastic in explaining the tour and reminded us of the precautions. The scenery was particularly beautiful, especially when we climbed to the highest point and overlooked the scenery of Huairou, it was worth the trip.
We bought a direct bus, but it ended up being included with the bus to Mutianyu Great Wall. The trip did depart from Shaoyaoju at 9:30 AM, but the pickup from Hongluo Temple wasn't until 4 PM. And to make money, we had to take everyone to the Bird's Nest for a paid tour afterward. Those who didn't visit were dismissed in a place not close to the subway or buses. So, the long tour involved a lot of climbing up and down the mountain. We went up along Guanyin Road and down another way. It was quite steep, so be careful. Overall, the scenery was beautiful and quite interesting.

The Western Building Scenic Area was burned down when the British and French allied forces burned down the Old Summer Palace. The ruins preserve the remains of the Old Summer Palace after it was looted, burned, destroyed and protected, becoming the most direct historical witness of this series of historical events. These immovable but real and tangible relics bear witness to the destruction or protection that the Old Summer Palace has experienced, and are the most authentic.
Entering the Zaoyuan Gate of the Old Summer Palace, one is greeted by lush greenery. A crystal-clear lake teems with koi and ducks, while weeping willows sway gracefully, and stone bridges exude an air of antiquity. Within the gardens, tranquil paths dotted with flowers and plants reveal both the rich history of the site and the freshness and elegance of nature, creating a delightful journey between history and nature.

Beijing's most famous scenic spots are the Forbidden City, Badaling, and the Temple of Heaven. Badaling is located in the suburbs. When visiting Beijing, be sure to research how to get there.
This is a must-see attraction and the best-preserved section of the ancient Great Wall. You can drive, take a tourist train from Beijing North Railway Station, or catch a bus from Deshengmen.
The Badaling Great Wall, built during the Ming Dynasty, is truly magnificent. From the 8th floor of the North Tower, it looks like a snake with no tail. It's truly one of the world's greatest wonders.
The downside is that it was incredibly crowded. It was like waiting in line to climb Haohanpo (Hero's Slope). They might need to limit the number of tickets sold; the experience was truly disappointing.
