Beijing Labagou Primeval Forest Park

Labagoumen Primeval Forest Park is located at the northernmost end of Huairou District, 160 kilometers away from the center of Beijing. The autumn colors of the primeval forest park are intoxicating and magnificent. If you drive from Beijing to Labagoumen Primeval Forest Park, one day is a bit tight, so I advise friends who want to go there to add one day. Go to Sihetang Township, Miyun on the first day, where you can enjoy the scenery of Baihe Canyon and stay in a farmhouse. The next morning, go directly to Liuxin Road, cross Tanghekou and go to Labagoumen, which is closer. You will have more time to play in Labagoumen.

How to get there: Take the 916 express bus from Dongzhimen Hub Station (the earliest one leaves at about 6:40, the journey takes about 2 hours, and the ticket price is 6 yuan) and get off at Yangjiayuan Station.

Walk to Yujiayuan Station and take H11 (about 2 hours, 6 yuan) to Tanghekou

Take H16 at Tanghekou (about 1 hour, fare 5 yuan) and get off at Sunzhazi Labagou Forest Park

Anyway, it's very tiring, so I suggest you drive there yourself.

The same goes for the return trip, so I won’t repeat it.



Tips for Labagou

The scenic area consists of three parts: Nanhou Ridge, Baizhang Cliff and Glacier. In my personal opinion, Nanhou Ridge is better than Baizhang Cliff. I did not go to the Glacier because it is suitable for visiting in May.

Nanhouling is the highlight of the scenic area. There are shuttle buses you can take (the ticket price is 30 yuan, which I personally think is a bit of a rip-off because the ride is less than ten minutes). After getting off the shuttle bus, you have to climb the mountain. The mountain is not high and most people can climb to the top.

There are no vehicles to visit Baizhang Cliff, so you can only walk or drive. Personally, I think it’s okay not to go to Baizhang Cliff.

I went there in early October, but unfortunately the birch forest had not turned yellow yet, while some of the leaves of other trees had turned red or yellow, and some were still green. I asked the villagers and they said that it was not certain when the trees in the scenic area would turn red each year, and they could only say it was in October. Sometimes a drop in temperature would immediately bring us to autumn. The conclusion is: you need luck to enjoy autumn~

Accommodation: I looked for accommodation after arriving in the village during the National Day holiday, as there were very few reservations available online. In fact, there are many farmhouses in the village that provide accommodation, so it was still in time to look for one after arriving.

The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is large. During the National Day holiday, you have to wear a thin down jacket in the evening to avoid being cold.

Food and drink: There are small shops in the village, and farmhouses generally provide three meals a day.

I went there with my boyfriend last November and saw the scenery I wanted to see, green, yellow, and red, leaves falling in the wind. My boyfriend has become my ex-boyfriend.

The legendary azaleas are scattered here and there, mainly planted at the gate. There are some 50 meters above the viewing platform. I walked to a position about 200 meters away from the iron tower, but I didn't see the legendary large area of ​​azaleas. Maybe they are somewhere else. In short, the birch forest is the feature, and the others are very ordinary. It's too far away

The scenic area has been opened on April 15. The Labagou Primeval Forest Park is characterized by beautiful scenery, few people and good air. The mountaineering route No. 1 is a gentle slope and not tiring at all. Not far above the birch forest is a large area of ​​wild alpine rhododendrons, which is very spectacular.

The scenery along the way is beautiful, the scenic area is very large, and we only visited a birch forest before coming down. We went there in October, and there were still leaves. It was very cold on the mountain and we needed to wear down jackets.

I read Buzz Buzz before the trip and didn't want to come because the scenery was too ordinary. Only the photo of the birch forest in one comment was a bit attractive. But I went to Mutianyu the day before and stayed overnight before coming here, which enriched the whole trip a lot. I did one thing when I entered the mountain, which was to find a birch forest to take pictures. The leaves were almost all gone, but it didn't affect the photos. I didn't go to other scenic spots. I heard from people who went that there is no need to go inside, the scenery nearby is the best. The shuttle bus to the scenic spot is 50 round trip, you must take it, it's worth it, you can save 1-2 hours, and there is nothing to see along the way. The farmhouse meal at the foot of the mountain is good. The boss said that it is best to come the week after the National Day holiday, but it is too late now. He also said that the birch forest we went to is not a virgin forest, there is another virgin forest😇

Very, very beautiful. I just went there with a group and didn't read any guide before departure, so it was far beyond my expectations.

This place is simply terrible... nothing is there! It took 3 hours to drive from Beijing to here. After entering, I just walked around like crazy, and then I found that there was nothing else! There is nothing. There is no natural scenery or cultural landscape. Chaoyang Park is much better than this.

A place I've been thinking about for years~ I finally drove nearly 170 kilometers on the weekend, ⏰3h+ one way, ⛰️5h of climbing, but only completed 1/8 of the total itinerary of the scenic area~ The scenery there is really beautiful, with colorful maple forests🍁 & birch forests, and there are many maple trees & withered flowers on both sides of the mountain road in the scenic area, but it is very stylish❤️~ But if you are not very interested in climbing, it is recommended not to come. The mountain is very steep, and some routes have not been developed much. They are relatively primitive, with all kinds of dirt roads & stones~ And don't wear black jeans & black shoes, otherwise you won't recognize yourself when you go down the mountain [frown] It's so dirty

It's called early autumn, but there aren't many red leaves left here. But the red leaves in Beijing are not very red yet! Inner Mongolia has already had two snowfalls this year. Here in the north of Beijing, the leaves are falling to the ground before they are even red.

I went there on the afternoon of October 5th and spent three hours. I stayed in a farmhouse. I went to Nanhouding on the morning of October 6th and returned to the city at 12 noon. It took three and a half hours. Compared with popular scenic spots, there are not many people here. Go up the mountain on Route 1, which is mainly a gentle slope and easy to reach the top; go down the mountain on Route 2, which has many steps. If I go next weekend, I guess the leaves will fall off. It's very cold in the morning, so it's best to wear long johns and down jackets. The section of the shuttle bus is a firebreak, which doesn't seem worth walking. It's recommended to take the shuttle bus back and forth.

Labagoumen Forest Park is worth visiting in autumn, it is quite beautiful, with red-leaf birch forest; there are relatively few toilets, and the facilities need to be improved;

We set off at five in the morning. The journey was smooth and there was basically no traffic jam. The traffic jam started when we were 1.6 kilometers away from the scenic spot. The road was full of Gesang flowers and a kind of wild chrysanthemum, which was pleasing to the eye. As the traffic kept moving, we saw farmhouses one after another on the roadside. You can eat, stay and park. There is a spare parking lot when you are about to enter the scenic area. If you don’t mind walking to the ticket office, you can park here. We drove in with the traffic. I was lucky and parked the car at the nearest parking lot to the ticket office at 10:30. If there are not many people buying tickets, you can buy them directly at the group ticket office, or you can scan the QR code to buy tickets on WeChat. Adults are 40 yuan/person, students are 20 yuan/person, and the shuttle bus tickets must be purchased 500 meters into the scenic area. Round trip is 50 yuan/person, and one-way is 30 yuan/person. In order not to be too tired to visit, we chose round-trip tickets. (You have to queue up long to take the shuttle bus) After getting off the shuttle bus, we followed Line 2 into the mountains to start our tour. The scenery along the way was beautiful. The autumn sun was clear and a little dazzling. The sky was blue and transparent without a trace of clouds. The forest was mainly composed of maple trees and birch trees. The warm sunlight passed through the layers of leaves and was reflected on the faces and bodies of tourists. Occasionally, there was a cool breeze in the forest, and you could see the red, yellow, and green leaves jumping or spinning, dancing and falling with the wind. You can't help but be attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of you and can't move your feet. After a gentle slope, we climbed up the steps and took some photos while walking. We just wanted to take pictures of all the beautiful scenery we saw, but our photography skills were limited. Due to time reasons, we did not climb to the top of the mountain. After taking pictures at the Guangjingtai, we went down the mountain directly along Line 1. It was already 3:30 in the afternoon when we arrived at the parking lot. After two hours, we arrived at the scheduled hotel-Chuanggu Resort. The hotel is very large and there is a big lake. The accommodation facilities are a bit outdated, but it is clean and the breakfast is also good.

This is definitely an advertisement and promotional article. First of all, our family went to the so-called Labagoumen "primitive forest park" in the afternoon of October 4th. First, the parking lot is all mud. Although there are people in charge, there is no planning at all. It is just a temporary parking lot on land. Second, you need to take a battery car to enter the park scenic area. The fee is very expensive, 30 yuan for a one-way trip and 50 yuan for a round trip. It is just artificial income generation! Third: It is just an ordinary forest on a wild mountain. It is exactly the same as the wild mountains around Beijing. Anyone who comes here is an idiot. Of course, I am already an idiot. Fourth, after collecting the entrance fee, you can walk in and it is just a wild mountain. It is not suitable for taking children and the elderly together. It is only suitable for people who have eaten and come out for a walk or wild mountain climbing enthusiasts. I sincerely advise everyone not to go here. Go to other parks if you have the time. [Tears][Tears]

During the National Day holiday, the autumn scenery is really full, a colorful world 🍃🍂🍁🌾. Birch forest☞Nanhouding☞Maple forest☞Glacier.

PS: There is no toilet on the mountain 😥

I've been thinking about it for a long time, and finally came to Labagoumen. It happened to be the good weather two days before the National Day. The golden, green and red leaves intertwined, and were particularly gorgeous under the shining sun. There were so many people here on the National Day. The parking lot closest to the scenic area gate was full long ago, so you can only park below. You need to walk a slope to get to the entrance of the scenic area. The scenic area gate only sells scenic area tickets. It takes a few hundred meters to buy shuttle bus tickets. It takes about ten minutes to take the shuttle bus to the entrance of the birch forest and maple forest. You can enter and exit from either side, and finally return to the place where you take the shuttle bus.

The weather was fine and the scenery was nice! It was too early to see the first red of this autumn, and it should be the best in early October! However, the wild chrysanthemums blooming on the roadside made up for the regret, and the few people were just what I wanted. Stayed at Zheng Yufeng B&B! Clean and tidy! Worth recommending!

It feels like a primeval forest. We didn't climb to the highest point, but the scenery is still worth seeing. You can take a sightseeing bus up the mountain or hike up.

The environment is great. There are all kinds of beautiful wild flowers on both sides of the road to the scenic spot. It is very nice. The parking lot is also very large. There are endless tourists. It is a good place to stay at home.

Autumn in Labagoumen comes early and leaves early, and generally only lasts about two weeks. The most beautiful autumn scenery is usually in mid-October, which lasts about a week. As its popularity increases, more and more photography enthusiasts and tourists are coming.

Go on May Day to see the glaciers and the sea of ​​rhododendrons. Bring your baby with you.

Two days of mountain climbing will improve the baby's physical fitness.

There aren't a lot of people here, compared to the May Day holiday, there aren't a lot of people, so you can have fun.

In the flower season, in order to see the legendary first rhododendron sea in Beijing, I drove two hours on a weekday to look for flowers, crossed the birch forest, hiked to the West Monkey Ridge, and reached the top without realizing it. The top was more exciting to me than the scenery.

Choose the right time to come to Labagoumen, she will show you the most beautiful nature. In spring, you can enjoy azaleas, in summer, you can enjoy wild flowers, and in autumn, you can enjoy the colorful flower mountains. Spring, summer and autumn are suitable for mass tourism, hiking, relaxation and getting close to nature. There are many farmhouses in the Labagoumen village at the foot of the mountain. There are many scenic spots and farmhouses along the way. You can stop at any time according to your mood.

The azaleas at Labagou Gate are in full bloom, especially in the glacier scenic area, which makes Labagou dress up for the spring banquet. Wandering on the path shaded by azaleas, listening to the chirping of birds, the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, and every cell in the body is filled with the breath of spring. Under the beautiful azaleas, the glacier is quietly spread out.

The vast sea of ​​white birch trees



Labagoumen primeval forest has 677 plant species and more than 300 animal species; the forest coverage rate is 90%, and there are 60 kilometers of green trails.



The three major viewing areas are Nanhouling, Baizhang Cliff, and Glacier. In spring, the mountains are covered with rhododendrons; in summer, there are cool forests; in autumn, there are colorful leaves...

Labagou is located in the northernmost part of Huairou, 100 kilometers away from the urban area of ​​Huairou. It is recommended to drive by yourself. The best season to see the birch forest is autumn. However, please note that this place is far from the city, so the autumn here is earlier than the urban area, and the leaves turn yellow and fall earlier. It is estimated that you can consider going there in mid-October. The scenic spot is relatively less commercialized and wins in natural scenery.

Tickets are 40 yuan each, and half price is 20 yuan for senior citizen cards, student cards, etc.; no negotiation. I asked the lady checking tickets at the gate, and she said that the most beautiful time is early to mid-October, and we were a month late. The leaves on the trees have basically fallen off, and you can see frost, ice, and blue sky! A thin layer of ice has formed on the surface of the river. You can see gurgling mountain springs everywhere in the forest. The surface is frozen into ice, but there is still water flowing underneath. It was so cold that we turned back after walking to the birch forest. The scenery from the scenic area to the village entrance is also beautiful all the way.

Arriving at Labagou, I didn't expect there to be so many people! I really didn't expect there to be so many people! ! We took the shuttle bus to the top. The fog got thicker as we went up. We couldn't see anything after walking 50 meters. Although we didn't see the colorful forest, the thick fog brought a different scenery here, like a fairyland.

There is no highway and the road is difficult to travel. Don't go there now. It's all bald mountains.

There are several tour routes in the park. This time I took the Nanhouling viewing area. This route took 5 hours to walk back and forth. Although the leaves have fallen, you can still imagine the fairyland of the winding paths when they were lush and lush. It is a good place to escape the summer heat. The temperature on the mountain is about 5 degrees, so keep warm. The fallen leaves are heavy, so be careful of your feet. For the scenery, there are different beauties in all seasons. If you adjust your mind and focus on appreciating it, it will be worth the trip.

It's not as good as I imagined. Compared with Wuling Mountain, Haituo is incomparable. Maybe it's the wrong time to go!

I went to Labagou Forest Park on October 14. It takes about 3 hours to get to the scenic spot from Haidian District, Beijing. There are many people at the scenic spot. There are three scenic spots. In late autumn, the main scenic spot is Fenghuangtai Scenic Spot, which has maple forests and birch forests. The end point, the Iron Tower Pavilion, is 1,400 meters above sea level. The scenery along the way is very beautiful and colorful. The top of the mountain overlooks all the mountains. The mountains in the distance are dotted with red, yellow and green, which is very beautiful. There is also white snow. The roads and parking lots in the scenic area have been built, but private cars are not allowed to enter now. It is probably for the income of the tour bus. The tour bus only goes two kilometers up the mountain and it costs 30, which is a bit expensive. This makes people very unhappy! There are basically no toilets or things to sell during the climb. The infrastructure needs to be improved.

On October 10, it snowed in Labagou Primeval Forest Park. This was the first snow of the year. It was snowing on the top of the mountain and raining at the bottom of the mountain. The red leaves and white snow put on a gorgeous dowry for the autumn here, waiting for the people who love it to marry it. The snow was like tiny crystal ice balls, as if someone had kneaded them, smooth and even, and was swept by the whistling north wind, rustling, hitting people's faces and drilling into their necks. The lovely tourists shouted loudly: "It's snowing, it's snowing."

The best time to go there is in autumn, when the activity is not that intense, and it is suitable for a walk and a chat with a few friends. It is also a place where you can take great photos in autumn.

In order to see the sea of ​​clouds, we stayed at Ma Qinglan's farmhouse a day in advance on October 6. There were mixed reviews online, but I thought it was okay. They were down-to-earth farmers. We stayed on the kang in the upper room and ordered mainly vegetarian food. It can basically be considered clean!

We set off at 8 o'clock on October 7 and arrived at the scenic spot in less than ten minutes by car. We bought tickets to enter and then bought tickets for the shuttle bus. The birch forest is not far from where the shuttle bus stops. It is really beautiful. Everyone enjoyed the scenery, took pictures and continued to go up. I have to say that it is really good to go early and it doesn't affect much to take pictures.

After walking up from the birch forest, we arrived at Phoenix Terrace. There were two roads, one leading to Nanhou Peak and the other leading back to the parking lot from the maple forest. We continued walking and finally arrived at the viewing pavilion, thinking we had reached the top. In fact, we could have continued to climb to the top of the mountain, but it was a pity that it was cloudy that day and we didn't see the sea of ​​clouds.

Then return to the original route and walk all the way to Phoenix Terrace from the maple forest all the way to the parking lot. The scenery from the parking lot to the entrance of the scenic area is also good. It takes about half an hour to walk.

It was quite tiring to climb from 8:10 to 13:40 when we got down to the entrance of the scenic area. Friends who lack physical strength are better off taking the shuttle bus.

Time: October 2017. The scenic area is already in late autumn, and the red, yellow and green leaves are beautiful with the blue sky. There are three scenic areas in Labagou, Nanhouling, Glacier, and Baizhang Cliff. There are two routes to Nanhouling, one passing through the maple forest and the other passing through the birch forest. They both lead to Fenghuangtai, and then from Fenghuangtai, one route goes up to Nanhouding, where there is an iron tower pavilion; overall, the amount of exercise is not large. There is no glacier in the Glacier Scenic Area in October. The scenic area will be closed in winter. The glacier of the year will have to wait until the spring of the next year to see it. The other scenery is similar to Nanhouling, but there are fewer people. I didn't go to Baizhang Cliff due to limited time.

On October 7, we went to the Labagou Scenic Area in Huairou. We stayed in a nearby farmhouse the day before and drove out early in the morning. The ticket was 40 yuan per person, including 3 scenic spots in different locations. We went to Baizhang Cliff first. Halfway up, the mountain road was too steep, so we turned back and left. We drove to the next primitive forest park and entered the scenic area. We bought a commuter ticket, which was 30 yuan for a one-way trip and 50 yuan for a round trip. It is better to take the baby with you. It is really far. It is said that there is a 3-4 km hike. After getting off the bus, there are two routes, the maple forest scenic spot and the birch forest scenic spot. We chose the maple leaf 🍁 route and returned from the birch forest. At the beginning of the climb, it was much easier than Baizhang Cliff. The 🍂 at this time was not very red, and the photo was average. There was no sun today. After climbing to Phoenix Terrace, the kids were tired, so they turned back and went down the mountain. Considering that I was afraid of traffic jams when I returned to Beijing, I didn’t go to the next scenic spot and went home. The overall feeling was average!

During the National Day holiday, after a rain, the mountains instantly became colorful. It was raining. The scenic area is divided into Nanhouling, Wanzhang Cliff and Glacier. The glacier is only available in May. The scenery is very beautiful. At a glance, the mountains are layered and very refreshing.

Every time I mention this place, I always think of Pu Shu's "Birch Forest". It's true that there are large tracts of birch forests. It is also the scenic spot with the most birch forests in Beijing. It is quite far from the city, so relatively few people come here.

Labagoumen has the best forest in Beijing with extremely lush vegetation. Large tracts of poplar and birch forests on the mountain cover the entire peak tightly. Between the forests are various shrubs and deep and dense grass mats, and the rocks are covered with thick moss.

Labagou is located in the northern part of Beijing. Perhaps because of the low temperature, the leaves of the birch trees had basically fallen off when we arrived.

But if you look up, you will see another view. You need to climb up to the Labagou Scenic Area. The scenic area is very large and there are many roads to walk. The mountain is not high. It usually takes 30-40 minutes to reach the top. There are many ways down the mountain. It is best to follow the crowd. We went up the mountain from the birch forest, but it was another way down. But it is also good, as it will allow you to see more different scenery. The mountain is quite primitive, allowing you to leisurely appreciate its beauty. Labagou has a more forest feeling. Walking in the forest, you can enjoy the gifts of nature. I believe Labagou is also beautiful in other seasons.

I go there every autumn. Labagoumen in late autumn is like a colorful fairy tale. Red leaves, birch forests, and wild hawthorns on the roadside. Every time I go there, people forget to look at the scenery and only lower their heads to eat wild hawthorns. Not to mention, the hawthorn wine tastes quite good.

Don't miss the best season, otherwise, as a primeval forest scenic spot, there is nothing much except that the air is a little better. It is recommended to take a shuttle bus to the real park entrance, unless you want to go on a fitness and self-torture trip, low-top shoes are easy to get into small stones, and the journey is boring if you just walk, 4 kilometers one way. It is recommended to go up the maple forest and down the birch forest. If you are brave, you can climb Nanhouling.

On October 17, the haze cleared and the sun was shining. I left the North Third Ring Road at 8am and bought a ticket to enter the main gate at 11am. I ate a full meal as advised, took a bus to the birch forest, took photos while climbing the mountain, and reached the Iron Tower Pavilion in two hours. I also took photos while walking down the mountain. In fact, the scenery during the bus ride was also quite good. I left the main gate at 3am, left the parking lot at 3:20am, and returned home at 6am. It felt a week late. The National Day should be the best time for the scenery, but there were too many people.

Labagoumen Primeval Forest Park in Huairou, the northernmost part of Beijing, seems to be particularly popular in recent years. If you go there from Beijing, you can take the Beijing-Chengde Expressway to connect to the Beijing-Jiaxing Road. The road conditions are very good all the way. There are not many vehicles on the Beijing-Jiaxing Road, especially after entering the mountain. It is almost in a quasi-highway state, but after all, it is not a fully closed road. The intermittent intersections and many speed cameras (speed limit 60) make it difficult to drive fast, so it will take a little longer to drive there. Basically, you have to go out before 7 o'clock in the morning to go back and forth on the same day~ Labagoumen should have the best scenery in autumn, with maple forests, oak forests, birch forests, etc. all over the mountains, with rich colors~ The red leaves time is earlier than that in Xiangshan, about two to three weeks after October 1st. It is not too early to go there on the 17th. The leaves on the halfway up the mountain have basically fallen, and the halfway up the mountain is still red~ It is estimated that the best state is around October 10th~

The ticket price has doubled compared to the previous one or two years. It is now 40 yuan for adults. The mountain is relatively steep, and it requires a certain amount of physical strength to climb. You can take a tour bus to go up the mountain, but the price is very high. It costs 30 yuan per person for 4km. The tour bus drives halfway up the mountain. 500m up is a large birch forest. The place with scale is suitable for taking pictures! Suitable for all kinds of posing~ From the birch forest, you can go all the way to the top. They are all dirt roads in the mountains. The climbing difficulty is not too great, but because there are fewer leaves as you go up, you stop very close to the top of the mountain~ You can also take a car down the mountain, but it costs 30 yuan per person! What a pit! Decisive choice to walk by yourself, it turns out that this is very wise! Because the scenery all the way down the birch forest is very beautiful, and the red leaves are in season! In fact, there is a maple forest not far down the battery station, but I don’t know why it is not open, and you can’t go in to take pictures like the birch forest~ But the scenery is very beautiful all the way down~ However, because the pedestrian trail is a gravel road, it will be slippery when going down the mountain, so be careful~

When you go, you must find a day with good weather, which is suitable for all kinds of posing~

[Driving time] Located in Huairou, it takes about 2 to 3 hours by car from Beijing.

[Dining] There are many farmhouses around the scenic area, and the food tastes good.

[Scenic Area] It is mainly for mountain climbing. You can also take a scooter, but the scooter only goes to the fork of the maple forest and the birch forest. The birch forest is about 3km away, and the maple forest is on another small fork road. The two roads meet after walking for about 1km. If you walk to the top, the total distance is about 6 to 7km. It takes about 1-2 hours to walk to the birch forest and the maple forest. Basically, you will return here. At present, it gets dark earlier in autumn, and the park will not be open at 16:00.

[Tickets] 40 yuan per person, 32 yuan per person if ordered through Ctrip, but due to network failure at the ticket office only on-site ticket purchases are supported.

Very beautiful, it's just right to go there during the National Day holiday, the temperature is about 10 degrees lower than in the city

The ticket price is 40 yuan, including three scenic spots: Nanhouling, Baizhang Cliff, and Glacier Scenic Area. There is a three-way intersection at the entrance of Huangdianzi Village, leading to the three scenic spots.

Nanhouling Scenic Area is the most important one, and the birch forest is in it. After entering, there is a section of scooters, which cost 30 yuan per person for going up and down respectively, and it takes more than ten minutes to get there, which is a bit expensive! You can also walk, all are gentle slopes, and it is also good to take pictures while walking. The end of the car only reaches the birch forest, and you need to walk to Fenghuangtai and Nanhouling by yourself.

After checking the ticket of Baizhang Cliff Scenic Area, you can drive in for about 1.5 kilometers. After entering, there is a cool canyon with steep steps. The other road is Wulongtan Longquan, which is gentler. After the two sides meet, go up to the oak forest and Baizhang Cliff, as well as Beitianzhu Peak. There are gentle slopes all the way, mostly oak trees. When you reach the road blocked by wire, go back. I saw the sign of Baizhang Cliff, but there were trees outside, so I didn’t know where the cliff was. I saw a tall mountain in the distance, but I didn’t know if that was Beitianzhu Peak. It was rainy on the first day. Looking at the foot of the mountain online, it was surrounded by clouds and mist, and only a peak was exposed, like a fairyland. The next day was sunny, the sky was blue, and the high peaks were fully revealed, more majestic, but less fairy.

It's quite a long way to the glacier scenic area, which seems to have only a white stone hole. Inside, there is a thick layer of fallen leaves, birch and maple trees are full of golden or fiery red, and there are oak trees that are partly green and partly yellow. The colors of the forest in autumn are rich.

It is definitely not enough to visit three scenic spots in one day. If you stay in a farmhouse (the one in Huangdianzi Village is the closest to the scenic spot), you can stamp it and it will be valid the next day, but you can't go to the scenic spot you visited yesterday. The tickets for the three scenic spots are sold together, which seems a bit like bundled sales, but the total is 40 yuan, which is not too expensive.

The Labagou Gate scenery in autumn is so charming. There are many people during the National Day holiday. The folk custom is 180 yuan per person, including three meals. It is said that it only costs 60 yuan on normal days. The ticket is 40 yuan. The scenic area tour bus is 30 yuan one way. We went there on October 4th and it rained. We went to the glacier scenic area first and climbed up the stone pile of the White Stone Grotto. The scenery is beautiful. We went to the core scenic area of ​​​​White Birch Forest, South Monkey Peak, and Baizhang Cliff on the 5th. I didn’t have time to go there. I will go there when I have a chance.

The scenic area is very large, the ticket price is 40 yuan, and you can visit the three scenic areas of birch forest, Baizhang Cliff and glacier.

A heartwarming experience. Early October should be the best time to go! Five-star rating, the kids had a lot of fun!

The ticket is 40. It's far enough. Maybe it's because of the traffic jam during the National Day holiday. It took nearly five hours to get there. It was okay to come back, more than three hours. After getting off G111, we headed north. The scenery on both sides was very beautiful. There were many small wild flowers on the roadside, large patches of sunflowers, flowing water, and swings. It is said that there are three scenic spots. Due to limited time, we only went to the Birch Valley. There is a shuttle bus to go up, but it is recommended to walk up. The road is not too steep. It takes about an hour to walk to the birch forest. The scenery on the way is good. We didn't climb to the highest peak. We should be able to see the mountains in the distance from the high place. It's a little early to go now. In a few days, the leaves on the mountain will completely change color.

The primeval forest is closed in winter, but the scenery in the other three seasons is different. The local farmhouses are also managed in a unified manner, which feels very formal.

The best time is from the end of September to mid-October. It is not far from downtown Beijing, about 160 kilometers away.

This is an important tip for friends who travel green: there is no direct bus to Labagoumen Primitive Forest Scenic Area. Route 936 was rerouted a few years ago, and its mission was shared by H11 and H16, but no one updated the bus stop, so you can still see 936 along the way. The fastest route is 916 Express ~ H11 ~ H16 continuous transfer. In addition, Huangdianzi Village is the closest to the scenic area, and Sunzhazi is 1km away. Farmhouses are rich in resources, and their tickets can be used for two days after signing. http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/5698361.html For more information, see the travel notes.

1. Transportation to the scenic area

After driving north along G111 to Labagou Gate, you can follow the signs along the way to the "Nanhouling Scenic Area" of Labagou Primeval Forest Scenic Area. Tickets to the scenic area are 40 yuan per person (three scenic area pass), and there is a parking lot in front of the scenic area. It turns out that the parking lot halfway up the mountain in the scenic area is no longer open to the public, so after parking, there is still a 4-kilometer winding mountain road to the main attraction, the birch forest, and there are tour buses that can directly reach the birch forest. Because it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, and we were tired from the long journey and the children were sleepy, we chose to take a car up the mountain and walk down the mountain.

The tour bus has a longer departure interval on non-weekend days, for example, after the 2pm bus, there is only the 3pm bus. The ticket price is 20 yuan per person.



2. Scenic spot structure

From a visual point of view, the essence of Nanhouling Scenic Area is the birch forest, Baizhang Cliff is its cliffs, and the Glacier Scenic Area is a mixed forest of glaciers, alpine rhododendrons and colorful leaves. The ticket for Labagou Primeval Forest Scenic Area is 40 yuan per ticket, which is not sold separately. You can go to all three scenic spots, and you need to check your ticket at the entrance. If you want to visit all three scenic spots, it is best to stay in the local area for one night. This time we had limited time, so we only visited Nanhouling Scenic Area.



3. Best Season

The Labagou Scenic Area has relatively few tourists. In autumn, the forests are full of colors and the colors are charming. It is a good place to enjoy autumn in Gyeonggi Province. We went there in spring, and there is a unique green vitality, which is worth seeing. The weather warmed up late this year, so the alpine azaleas were not blooming all over the mountains when we went there in late April, and the birch forests had not yet sprouted green buds. If you want to go there in spring, it is recommended to go in mid-to-early May, when the azaleas will bloom better. It is said that there are relatively more people on weekends, so it is better to go on weekdays.



4. Accommodation and food

Bring your own lunch and enjoy it in nature. There is no restaurant in the forest park. If you plan to play in the scenic area for two days, you can stay and have dinner at the farmhouse in the scenic area at night. It is said that Manchu hot pot is the specialty here. We only played for one day this time and did not stay here.

I went there on the first Saturday of May to see the rhododendrons and stroll in the birch forest. It is about 150 km from the city, and public transportation is not convenient. If you have a car, it is recommended to drive yourself. If you don't have a car, it is recommended to find a tour group to go together, which saves worry, effort and money. The ticket is 40 yuan, and you can see three scenic spots, but you have to arrange your time reasonably. I think it would be good to go there in autumn, when the birch trees turn yellow. I plan to go there in late autumn next time. There are some farmhouses nearby, and accommodation is also convenient.

It is better to visit in midsummer and early autumn, which should provide a different flavor. Public facilities and accommodation should be improved.

When we went there, the road was under construction and the season was not right, so it felt average. It would be nice to come back in autumn~~ But there was a small patch of azaleas which was pretty nice.

The Labagou in Beijing is not too difficult. There are maple leaves, so go there in autumn.

Highly recommended!!! I never thought there would be such a paradise in Beijing, with flowers all over the mountains and overflowing with human kindness. Standing in this jungle, all the worries and pressures should disappear, how can it be described in one word "refreshing"! The delicious wild game and the graceful love tree will make you linger! !

The vegetation coverage rate of Labagoumen in Huairou District is very high. Although the journey is a bit far and the temperature is very low, the flowers are still in full bloom and there are flowers all the way. Although it is a winding mountain road, the road condition is very good, and the road is lush and green, which makes people feel very good.

Labagoumen Primitive Forest Park has three scenic areas: Nanhouling, Baizhang Cliff, and Glacier. If you want to visit all three scenic areas, it is best to stay there for one night. The birch forest and maple leaves in Nanhouling Scenic Area are very beautiful in autumn and are worth a visit.

Very beautiful birch forest, worth a visit in autumn!

The birch forest has great scenery and the weather is cooler than in the city. It is worth a visit.

The scenery is nice. It is located at the junction of Huairou and Hebei. The journey is quite long. It seems to be quite popular in the past one or two years. From Beijing city, you can take the Jingcheng Expressway, exit from Miyun, and then take the Jingjia Road. The road conditions are very good. You can navigate the other routes yourself. Even though the journey is long and there are many detours, the vegetation on both sides of the road is great. There are many scenic spots on both sides. You can stop to rest or change your destination. If you reach Labagou Gate, you will find that the air is really good and the temperature has dropped significantly. The ticket price is 40, and the relevant personnel: the elderly and students (all with certificates) are half price. When it comes to the red leaf viewing season, there are not many parking spaces. Just wait patiently for a while. Another thing to pay attention to is the time. The journey up and down the mountain is not close. You can choose a shuttle bus for 20 yuan/person/time, which only goes halfway up the mountain. In addition, the infrastructure up the mountain is not very good. Remember to bring dry food and water. At least I didn't see any for sale. The toilets are only available halfway up the mountain and at the bottom of the mountain. It gets dark early on the mountain, so pay attention to the time of going down the mountain, and choose the accommodation after going down the mountain. If you choose to continue driving to the next destination, Miyun Bulaotun is recommended. It is very good. There is mountain spring water, but the journey is also quite far.

Attracted by the unfamiliar name of the primitive forest scenic area, I stayed there for one night and went up the mountain early the next morning. The scenic area is lush with trees, birch forests, oak forests, and oak trees stretching across the mountains. The air is very good, but I came a little late. The red leaves have almost fallen, and only brown and red dead leaves are hanging on the branches. I look forward to coming again next year. The service is so-so. There is no place to sell water or rest in the scenic area. You need to take a separate battery car for 20 yuan each to go up and down the mountain. Tickets for the three attractions must be bought together, and you can't visit them all in a short time.

Labagou Primeval Forest Scenic Area is divided into three scenic areas, with unified ticket sales and a ticket price of 40 yuan. The three scenic areas are: Nanhouling, Baizhang Cliff and Glacier. The Glacier Scenic Area is suitable for visiting in May and June, with large areas of azaleas. Nanhouling is the better developed of the three scenic areas. It is mainly famous for a birch forest, so everyone is used to calling it the Birch Forest Scenic Area. The best viewing period is mid-September. It is recommended to take a battery car back and forth, because it is still a ten-minute drive from the ticket office of the scenic area to the real scenic spot. Baizhang Cliff is not much developed, and there are not as many people as the birch forest, but the scenery is super good, especially in mid-October, the mountain is colorful, it's intoxicating! Since there are relatively few tourists, you can drive into the scenic area after buying the ticket. It needs to be reminded here that the road up the mountain is a dirt road, so you must wear non-slip shoes~~

We went there on Sunday, October 11, 2015. The autumn colors were rich, the mountains were colorful, and we saw birch forests at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. We set out at 8:30 am on Sunday and arrived at the scenic spot ticket office at 11:10. We returned at 15:45 in the afternoon and arrived home at 18:45. The road was smooth all the way.

The Labagoumen Scenic Area is in the early stages of development, and the forest is relatively primitive. The scenery is amazing, and it is very beautiful in autumn. It is worth a visit.

It is better to go there in autumn, you can drive yourself or sign up for activities.

If you want to enjoy the autumn scenery in the north, you must be willing to walk! There are indeed beautiful scenery in the mountains, but they are really big. Along the way, there are people who bring their families to climb mountains and camp. If you can really carry a lot of weight and walk deep into the mountains, it takes time and energy.

I go back every October and walk on the fallen leaves, which make a rustling sound. It is very comfortable.

I went there during the May Day holiday, it was very nice, but it would be more beautiful in autumn. In spring and summer, the trees in the mountains are almost the same color, with no layers. I plan to go there again in autumn. An unexpected bonus is that the farmhouse in Zhongyu Village where I stayed was really nice. The whole village was so clean, the people were so nice, and the village planning was also very good. The wooden trestle bridge over the river in the south of the village and the wooden steps for climbing the mountain were very nice.

Before we knew it, we arrived at the birch forest scenic area. There are tall and dense birch trees growing here. It is a famous scenic spot at Labagoumen. At this time of year, the leaves of the birch forest have turned yellow, which is one of the highlights of the autumn tour of Labagou. The mother-in-law of the farmhouse told us that the leaves of the birch forest turn yellow in a relatively short time, about a week. If you come early, the leaves are still green, but if you come late, they have turned black. Moreover, due to climate changes every year, the time when the leaves turn yellow is not certain. Therefore, bees who want to see the leaves are better to call the local villagers of the farmhouse before coming, otherwise they may miss the best time of the birch forest.

The autumn in Labagou primeval forest is probably the most charming. It is more than 100 kilometers away from downtown Beijing. It can be reached directly by Jingjia Road. The transportation is very convenient. You can also visit the Baili Art Gallery on the way. The scenery along the way is good.

The farmhouses here are very developed, with food and accommodation. There are beds and kangs, which can basically meet the accommodation needs.

It was almost 11 o'clock when we arrived at the entrance of Labagoumen Township. A small asphalt road turned left, but the view was bright. Labagoumen got its name because the entrance was small, but it became wider and wider as you went in. You can imagine the feeling of morning glory.

On both sides, there are Gesang flowers and some flowers whose names I can't tell. I was shocked. This is the most spectacular "flower road" I have ever seen. From the entrance to the Labagou Gate Scenic Area, the road is paved with flowers for nearly 10 kilometers.

Because of the rain and the temperature drop in the past two days, leaves are falling everywhere. There is already a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, which have not withered yet. However, there are more golden leaves, which have not yet turned red. It rained for two days before, and it rained all night last night. But we are so lucky that today is a rare good day. Such a blue sky is something we rarely see after living in the city center for a long time.

The air is so fresh. My aunt has a bad heart and always feels choked up and breathless in the city. But here she feels light all over.
