May Day Travel Guide to the Outskirts of Beijing: Discover Yanqi Lake Amidst Mountains and Waters
🍃Spring is the season of revival for all things, and also a great time for outings and enjoying nature. In Huairou, Beijing, there is a place where you can not only enjoy the mountains and waters, but also find tranquility and romance in the embrace of spring. This place is Yanqi Lake in Huairou, Beijing.
🚗I am Zicheng, a travel enthusiast, here to show you a different kind of beautiful scenery. Follow me to explore Beijing without getting lost, and to find romantic surprises on the outskirts of the city. Let's accept the spring invitation to Yanqi Lake together.
🌷Many people like to enjoy the greenery and flowers when they travel. When you come to Yanqi Lake, you will be surprised to find that it is a beautiful landscape painting by the mountains and waters. The willows are graceful, as if they are messengers of nature, telling us that spring has arrived. The distant mountains are unadorned, and the spring scenery leaps onto the paper, like a natural ink painting, refreshing to the soul.
🌸Strolling along the lakeside plank road, every step is on the breath of spring. Peach blossoms, apricot flowers, magnolias, lilacs... various flowers bloom in competition, like a visual feast prepared by nature for us. The fragrance of the flowers intoxicates, instantly making one's mood much more pleasant.
🚢Of course, besides enjoying the flowers, you must not miss the boat tour on Yanqi Lake. As the boat sets sail, beautiful ripples are left on the water, as if adding a touch of liveliness to the lake. The commentator in the cabin will also enthusiastically bring you many histories and stories about Yanqi Lake. Of course, if you climb Yanqi Island, you can feel the wonderful blend of mountains and waters and the grandeur of Chinese architecture, as well as the tranquility at the foot of the Yanshan Mountains and the historical accumulation beside the Great Wall. All of this can be perfectly presented during the boat tour.

On May 2, the main entrance of the scenic spot is very blocked. It is recommended to park in the parking lot of P6 or more south. There are amusement facilities everywhere in the scenic area, and the scenic area is not like a park like an amusement park. If you don't play amusement facilities, the scenic spot can walk around in an hour. Yanqi Island is not casual. The cruise ticket is 90 yuan a little expensive, but there is an explanation on the boat, and only this kind of boat can visit the lake for a week, so it is recommended to buy a joint ticket experience. It is enough to go to an attraction like this once.
The lake and mountain scenery is beautiful. The lake view room in Beijing is the most. ~ You can do nothing here for an afternoon. ~ There is a swimming pool 🏊♂️ But the hotel's consumption is relatively high. Menglong is 25 yuan apiece. Water and everything are 20 starting. It is not necessary. You can bring more snacks and Chinese food can be richer, and vegetarians have less choice.~
I have come to Yanqi Lake more than once, but this time I feel that the lake is more clear, the flowers and plants are more beautiful, the hardware facilities are more humane, and there is no hard work to drive for an hour and a half.
I have taken my children to June 1 Children's Day. I bought a package ticket, tickets and a few play facilities. I also spent money to buy a speedboat. The overall feeling is OK. It is very windy when I go. The cruise ship stops in the afternoon because of the strong wind. The children can play, but I want to see the scenery or go to the Xishan Trail to hike. It is suitable for children to play with amusement facilities
The scenery is beautiful and spectacular, the service is good and cost-effective, suitable for all ages, enjoy the scenery and flowers and autumn colors, ginkgo forest, red leaves, games, boating, beautiful crossing the pontoon bridge, awesome
Because I often take it in the city, I take advantage of the weekend to ask friends to come to Huairou Yanqi Lake in the suburbs. It is a good place to go for a walk, but I went a bit early, the cruise ship has not yet opened, but I took the mountain road, the scenery along the way is very beautiful.
