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! 🌞

How can you experience such beautiful grasslands without visiting Huitengxile? It's a truly stunning spot for photography.
June, July, and August are the best months for visiting the grasslands! The average summer temperature is 18°C.
A great summer escape: Huitengxile Huanghuagou Grassland
Huanghuagou is still worth a day's visit. It is not recommended to stay in a yurt as the sanitary conditions are poor. You can stay in Ulanqab City. You can go shopping and eat at Ulanqab Night at night, and you can also see the volcano the next day.

I decided to visit Tanzhe Temple on a whim and bought tickets on Ctrip. The QR code was a convenient way to enter the temple. The temple is visible from the front, and Beijing City is nearby. There are many ancient trees and the incense is very popular. There's also a coffee shop there, which is delicious and very comfortable.
I've long heard that Tanzhe Temple came before Beijing, but as a Beijinger, this was my first time here. Transportation is very convenient, with direct access via the subway and then the bus. Tickets are 50 yuan and can be purchased online or at the venue. The scenery inside is truly delightful, nestled against the backdrop of mountains and water, and the air is fresh. Gazing at the ancient trees, touching the stone fish, and smelling the incense, my restless heart is easily calmed.

Who said that Pofengling is only worth coming in autumn? Summer's cloud stone house is a hidden fairyland! 💫 You must check in at Pofeng Cafe hidden in the treasure place halfway up the mountain. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows + tent area. Watermelon ice American is a summer life-sustaining artifact. The C position by the window should arrive early, and the light is gentle beyond the film. Yunshang Shiwu B&B Reality version of the Wizard of Oz, small bridges and flowing water + fog forest, the baby can play in the water to fish, but also meet Tilian, wear a white skirt, the fairy is directly full. Red back grocery store retro feeling full score, the little tiger puppet is cute to foul, the old objects are like movie screenshots. ⚠️ Notes 1. Anti-mosquito liquid + sunshade hat is necessary, there are really many bugs 2. Wear anti-slip shoes, the ground in Wonderland area is slippery 3. Bring enough snacks and water, the mountain is small and expensive 4. It is recommended to take the cable car directly under the age of 6 (80 yuan/person)
I have only seen Pofengling in autumn. Pofengling in autumn is famous for its red leaves, especially the red leaves of cotinus coggygria and torch, which form a sharp contrast with the green mountains and blue sky in the distance, forming a beautiful picture.
The best viewing period for red leaves: October 1 to November 20 every year.
History and Culture: At the foot of the mountain are the villas of Li Lianying, the great eunuch of the feudal dynasty, and Cao Kun, the warlord, where tourists can learn some history and culture.

Absolutely breath-taking and a once in a lifetime experience for us. Pictures have always shown it as impressive but actually being on the Great Wall in person was an even incredible experience, hard to describe. Accessibility can be challenging in places, even with a cable car, for anyone who has mobility issues (I was in crutches). There is a lot of climbing just to get to the stunning views but absolutely worth it!
The guide was very informative, also this is not a walking wall , it is a climbing wall.

The water lilies planted in the south are beautiful! The water lilies planted in the north are also beautiful! 😁 Park is 30 minutes, but no, stay in the botanical garden for 30 minutes, you can forget your troubles and find a good mood! I like to walk around the lake of Beizhi!
Spend five yuan for tickets to the north planting movement and enjoy flowers. In the early autumn, you can also see water lilies and lotus. The water lily and lotus sister flowers, in the pond of the bonsai garden, show their style: a pillow of water and sleep, a water standing, sketching the twin beauty above the clear water lily and lotus, are completely different species. Water lily, for the water lily family water lily plant. There are about 70 species of water lily family in 6 genus, widely distributed in temperate and tropical regions. Lotus, a genus of the Lotus family, has only one genus and two species, and is native to East and South Asia, northern Australia, Central and North America. Botanists once thought they were close, so they attributed both to the lily family. But in the past 20 or 30 years, molecular systematic studies such as DNA sequence analysis have confirmed that the lily and lily are far apart. Water lilies belong to one of the most primitive groups of angiosperms. They are ancient groups that differentiated from the early birth of angiosperms. Lotus belongs to the mountain dragon eye in the true bicotyledon branch, and the differentiation time is later than water lilies. The Botanical Garden science popularization is doing very well 👍

Camping in the alpine meadows was so comfortable! It's pet-friendly, so it was a great experience bringing your dog. The road around the lake was also nice, but it was a bit crowded. The mountain road is a bit winding, but the scenery is worth the price of admission!
It was beyond my expectation. There were alpine meadows, boat trips on the lake, and waterfalls and streams. The temperature in the city was over 35 degrees, but here it was around 30 degrees. Although camping on the meadow was sunny, the wind was cool, and you could leave your tent there and go rafting to cool off in the hottest afternoon. The car was parked in parking lot No. 2. The meadow was right at the entrance, with a wide view, and it was named "Little Switzerland in the Suburbs of Beijing". The path next to the meadow took 6-7 minutes to the stream, and the water was so cool that you couldn't stand. The ticket (60) and parking fee (20) were a little expensive, but you really get what you pay for.

It's definitely worth a visit.
You'll first see the cute pet park upon entering, then take the shuttle bus up the mountain.
There's a miniature train ride up the mountain, and there's a yurt at the top. There's also a sky mirror and grass skiing.
It can be quite windy at the top, so bring a jacket.
"Chunkun Mountain" means "mountain with deep ravines". It is the largest alpine meadow grassland in western Inner Mongolia, with beautiful environment and cool climate. There are dozens of wild medicinal materials such as Astragalus, Gentiana macrophylla, Scutellaria baicalensis, Bupleurum chinense, and more than 300 natural grass species growing here. In the hot summer, Chunkun Mountain is recommended for self-driving tours in the suburbs.
Chunkun Mountain, located at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain, has grasslands in the clouds like a woven carpet. Having seen the beauty of alpine grasslands in oil paintings, it is hard to believe that it is real. However, when you are in Chunkun Mountain, the natural beauty of grasslands in the clouds is far beyond your imagination. The colors splashed by nature have created a splendid landscape between the mountains and valleys of 30 square kilometers. The undulating mountains and colorful colors are intoxicating and intoxicating. People will stop their feet inadvertently, stop and gaze, and appreciate quietly.

If you drive there, the parking fee is 10 yuan. You can purchase a sightseeing bus to and from the ice cave for 5 yuan each way. You can also walk up. The lower part of the ice cave is a staircase, with a single route in and out. The ice cave has a variety of lighting. It's best to wear warm clothing; if you don't have any, there are rentals available in the parking lot.
The scenic area is currently undergoing a short road renovation. After checking your ticket, you'll board a tour bus to the foot of the Hanging Village. Looking up at the village, it seems quite high, but it's actually quite easy to climb. There's a stall selling roasted corn and sweet potatoes up there, which are delicious and fragrant. A cool breeze, gurgling water, and flowers strewn across the grounds are a delightful experience!
