I heard you can harvest leeks here and make dumplings on the mountain? I heard this is the top-level alpine meadow landscape in Beijing? I heard this is the Beijing version of Altay!? Before even entering the real Beiling Mountain Scenic Area, you can see blue skies, white clouds, and herds of cattle and sheep. The distant slopes are lush and green, layer upon layer, all proclaiming: This is already the most beautiful time of midsummer. This is my first time going to Beiling Mountain. They say it's a hike, but it's really just a weekend stroll~ Two people with just a small backpack, packed with apples and sausages, two bottles of water, wearing short sleeves, shorts, hats, and a sun-protective shirt, and we set off. The route we chose ultimately took 2.5 hours, including climbing the mountain, lying on the grass to sunbathe, and taking photos. Except for a small section of gravel road that was a bit slippery and needed caution, the whole route was easy to walk, and regular sports shoes were completely fine. 📍 Navigation: Jiulongwa (Zhuolu County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province) 🎫 Tickets: Free 🆓 ✔️ For those departing from Beijing You will first arrive at Ta'ersi > Jiulongwa > Jiangshuihe Folk Village. After reaching Jiulongwa, walk two hundred meters in the direction of Jiangshuihe, and you will see a sign by the roadside that says 'Beiling Mountain to Leek Slope,' from where you can climb the mountain. ✅ Weather When the weather is good, it's very sunny, so bring a sun hat and sunglasses; the perceived temperature is cool, just wear a long-sleeve shirt to block the wind, as it's quite windy at the top of the mountain. ✅ Camping Carts can't make it up, so you need to carry your gear if you want to camp. ✅ Pets Pet-friendly, we even saw a very cute little dog climbing the mountain with its owner at the top. ✅ Supplies There are no places selling food, so bring your own water and food. 🈚️ No restrooms

Beiling Mountain is located in Zhuolu County, Hebei Province, and it should be considered a top-level beginner hiking route in the suburbs of Beijing. Beiling Mountain is also known as Jiushan or Jiushan, with an altitude of about 1950 meters, located in the northeast of Dongling Mountain, the highest peak in Beijing. 1. Scenery: Personally, I think it is better than Matianling. You can see cliffs, a gathering of mountains, and cattle and sheep grazing. Pay attention to the weather forecast; it is not good to go on smoggy days, and climbing on dusty days is like eating dirt. 2. Difficulty: The hiking route is beginner-friendly, with a length of 5-10km and an elevation gain of about 400 meters. The trail is mainly dirt roads, and the overall road condition is good, making it very suitable for outdoor newcomers to take a walk. You can go without trekking poles. 3. Others: It is recommended to wear a windproof outer layer and a quick-drying inner layer, which can be put on and taken off at any time. The wind on the mountain is very strong and it can get cold. When I went, I only wore a long-sleeved sun protection shirt and was actually frozen. There is a dry toilet at the foot of the mountain, but no toilet on the mountain. You can ride a horse on the mountain, and the cost is 200-300. Beiling Mountain

One of my favorite hiking routes is through Beiling. High altitude and large alpine meadows make it one of the most popular routes in the suburbs of Beijing in summer. However, the Beiling Mountain route has different intensities. Which one should you choose? 🚶‍♂️1️⃣Route (1): Jiulongwa-Beiling Mountain-Huangcaoliang-Boyu🌟Route Intensity: The whole journey is about 18Km, with a climb of 700m and a descent of 1400m 🌠Route features: The most classic crossing route in Beiling Mountain. It is slightly more intense and is a beginner-advanced route. It is not recommended for novices and outdoor novices to try. The roads are mainly gravel roads. There are two steep slopes up and down. There is a 10 yuan entrance fee. The first section of the climb: the starting point - the top of Beiling Mountain is a climb. There is a small section of tree-lined paths. There is no shade in the meadow, so sun protection is required. The top of the mountain - Huangcaoliang, mainly descends. The first section is steep, and it will be slippery if it rains, making it easy to fall. Huang Caoliang - solid building, is the ascending road, which is relatively slow. But it takes some effort. Solid Building - Baiyu, the descending section is basically walking in the valley, and the slope is not small. If you have bad knees, I don’t recommend taking this route. In addition, this route has forks, so it is easy to get lost without using the track. 2️⃣Route (2): Jiulongwa-Beiling Mountain-Jiulongwa Route intensity: The total distance is about 8km, with an ascent and descent of 350m. Route Features: The most beautiful section of the route through Beiling Mountain, with the highest point of Beiling Mountain as the turning point, suitable for novices, or friends who want to play more and enjoy the scenery on Jiucai Slope. This is also the regular route for camping in Beiling Mountain. The entrance fee is 10 yuan. 3️⃣Route (3): Kumbum Temple Village - Beiling Mountain - Kumbum Temple Village @Route Intensity: The whole journey is about 11km, with an ascent and descent of 800m Features of the route: The climb is slightly larger, similar to the 18-kilometer classic route. There are more gravels at the beginning and end of the road, and the middle section has a gentle slope that rises. The road conditions are better than before. There is no entrance fee to the mountain. Novices who have enough physical strength can also walk. (Self-driving can take this route, non-self-driving can end at Jiangshuihe Village) 4️⃣Route (4): Jiulongwa - Beiling Mountain - Baimugou - Jiangshuihe Village Route intensity: The total distance is about 18km, with a climb of about 900m. Features of the route: The mileage and difficulty are similar to the route to Baiyu. It goes up to Jiulongwa and down to Baimugou. The road conditions are similar to those to Baiyu. The second half is a highway. If you want to avoid taking the road, you can only go to Baimugou, which is about 15 kilometers. . This is an advanced route, not recommended for novices.
