Miaofeng Mountain is a popular place for burning incense and praying in the western part of Beijing, and it is also a paradise for hiking and cycling enthusiasts; the main attractions are the Niangniang Temple, Yuhuang Peak and the main peak, all of which are located in the Jinding area.
The order of the tour is generally from Niangniang Temple - Yuhuangding - Main Peak - Huixiang Pavilion, which is also the standard order of burning incense in Taoist temples.
In the fourth month of the lunar calendar every year, there are hundreds of traditional performances at the Niangniang Temple on the top of the mountain, as well as activities such as distributing porridge, tea, and steamed buns.
Every autumn, the mountains are covered with colorful red leaves. The best time to view the red leaves in Miaofeng Mountain is from mid-to-late October to early November.

One-day tour of Miaofeng Mountain. It feels like driving for two hours and playing for ten minutes [snickering R] It’s not that exaggerated, but the scenic area is indeed very small.
【Scenic Spots】
The Jinding Miaofeng Mountain Scenic Area consists of three temples, the Niangniang Temple, the God of Wealth Temple, and the Jade Emperor Temple. It is said that many people come to burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, but there are basically no tourists on ordinary days. We chose a Monday, which was very quiet. There is also a rose garden in the scenic area, but it is deserted after the viewing season.
I didn’t do any research, so I didn’t know where else to go nearby. I searched on Amap and found a terraced viewing platform nearby, but the navigation didn’t allow the car to pass by, so I gave up. . .
【TOLL】
The ticket to the scenic spot is 40 yuan.
The parking fee is 10 yuan. When you are close to the scenic area, you will pass by "Mentougou Jiangou Village", where you will be charged a parking fee of 10 yuan before you are allowed to pass.
【Rice】
At noon, I returned to Jiangou Village for lunch. I searched for "Miaofengshan Dasiheyuan Farmhouse" on Dianping.com. The taste, environment and service were just average. The whole village is full of farmhouses. You can actually go around and choose. Roses are grown here, so the specialties are rose cakes, rose jam, rose tea, etc. Although I don't like roses, I still ordered a rose pancake, which was not as delicious as my mother-in-law's!
【Play time】(See Figure 5)
In another month, in September, you can come here to see the red leaves. It is said that there will be the Qiuxiang Temple Fair from the first to the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, and the scenery should be great.
【transportation】
As for transportation, it is a winding mountain road but it is easy to drive on, there are no sharp turns, and there are not many big cars, but there are many motorcycle and bicycle riders. We also met a team shooting a car promotional video. There are parking areas not far away, which is very safe.
I saw a lot of red walls and strongly requested Boss Gao to take a photo of me (as if I saw Boss Gao’s disgusted look again). This is the only photo that looks good (I used the Brooklyn filter on Xiaohongshu before I dared to show it to others, haha). I am really fat now~
It’s a very relaxing one-day trip to the outskirts of Beijing. The most important thing is to be happy.
Miaofeng Mountain Scenic Area is located in Mentougou District, Beijing. It has beautiful scenery. There is also a mountaintop rose garden nearby. The villagers here make delicious rose pies. In autumn, the mountains are covered with colorful leaves, which are charming. Miaofeng Mountain is very popular. Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, people from the surrounding areas will go into the mountain to burn incense, especially to burn the first incense.
The official tour route of Miaofeng Mountain is very short. After entering the main gate, there are only two temples on the left and right. The so-called Jade Emperor Peak is also a temple, very small, and this is not the real peak of the mountain. The real peak requires walking up the path next to the rose garden. It is all dirt road without stone steps. Many hikers take this road down the mountain.
If you can’t catch the bus after getting off the subway, you can choose to take a black car, but you must be careful! Be careful! Be careful! !
Negotiate the price before going up the mountain. Many drivers will tell you the price of going up the mountain, and then halfway through the journey, they will tell you that they will also take you down the mountain. They will ask you for the round trip price.
So before going up the mountain, you must make it clear to the driver that you only pay for going up the mountain. And you pay at the main gate! ! ! ! ! !
After climbing the mountain, you can walk down the mountain to the bus stop and take the bus home.
There is a driver here. Don't take his car! He is cheating us😡
The scenery is very beautiful! It is suitable for taking big pictures! The climbing distance is not far. I thought I had to climb 1299 meters, but the parking lot is 1019 meters high, so I only climbed more than 200 meters. No one was tired~
yeiquuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
We went to Miaofeng Mountain, which is 3 degrees cooler than Beijing. There are fewer people in the park in summer and the sun is very strong at noon, but the scenery is still good, with blue sky, white clouds floating, and beautiful mountains, which is very beautiful.
Miaofeng Ancient Incense Road was once the main route for people to go to Miaofeng Mountain for incense worship. From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, the Central and Northern Roads were the most prosperous. The entire ancient road is 20 kilometers long, with 5 tea sheds along the way. Jinxian Temple is the famous Tianjin Chongxiutang tea shed on the Central and Northern Road.
I went there in autumn, the colorful mountains were in full view and the air was good.
Miaofeng Mountain is a cycling mecca in Beijing, with many cycling enthusiasts and experts. The scenery along this stretch is beautiful, the Yanshan Mountains are steep and dangerous, and it is spring, and everything is green.
As a cycling enthusiast in Beijing, I have always been proud of riding from the archway at the bottom of the mountain to the archway at the entrance of the scenic area. The 40 RMB ticket is not expensive. As a place for friends to hang out together on weekends, it is actually quite cost-effective.
I wanted to enjoy the blooming mountain flowers, but instead I encountered clear snow on the western hills.
Miaofeng Mountain is the nearest thousand-meter-high mountain to Beijing. The main peak is 1,291 meters above sea level. From the top of the mountain, you can see the Yongding River. It is the best place to watch the sunrise, sunset, and sea of clouds. Miaofeng Mountain is known as the "No. 1 Fairy Mountain in North China". It also has a thousand acres of roses of the best quality in my country and the largest traditional pilgrimage temple fair in North China.
When the car is ready, go hahahahaha burp!!!
The main peak of Miaofeng Mountain is 1,291 meters above sea level. It is the nearest thousand-meter-high mountain to Beijing. Miaofeng Mountain is a tourist attraction in the suburbs of Beijing that integrates religious pilgrimage, folk customs, getting close to nature, health and leisure, flower and fruit sightseeing, mountain vacation, and summer vacation. It is more suitable to go to Miaofeng Mountain to see the red leaves in early November. There is no frost and the red leaves are still yellow. It takes an hour to go up the winding mountain road, so everyone should pay attention to safety.
I was lucky enough to walk in Miaofeng Mountain in Beijing during the first snowfall. The red walls and green tiles looked even more historic under the white snow. The gathering of various gods and goddesses reflected the strong atmosphere of life. Even in the snow, there were many cycling and cross-country running athletes. I look forward to seeing the roses in May and the long golden autumn in October.
Miaofeng Mountain is a popular destination for people in western Beijing to burn incense and pray. It enshrines various gods of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and secularism, and the temple fair in April is particularly prosperous.
Miaofeng Mountain also houses the Wang San Nainai Temple, Dongyue Temple, Wusheng Temple, and Wenchang Temple, while Yuhuangding Temple houses the Jade Emperor, the king of all gods. It is said that the Yue Lao Temple here is very spiritual and popular, with many people coming here to seek marriage.
In Mentougou, it is naturally recommended to drive there. The mountain climbing is all dirt roads, and there are basically no steps, but when you climb to the top of the mountain, you will feel suddenly enlightened. You must insist on reaching the top of the mountain. It is definitely worth the trip. It is difficult to see such a mountain scene in Beijing. It is still quite spectacular. The wind on the top of the mountain is a bit strong, so be careful to keep warm when taking pictures.
Miaofeng Mountain in winter. I like the shadows cast by the pine trees on the ground, like a twisted and coiled dragon.

Miaofeng Mountain is known as the "hometown of roses" in my country. Roses are an economic crop with extremely high ornamental value. Miaofeng Mountain roses are characterized by large flower shape, thick petals, deep color, high oil content, etc., and their quality is world-leading. When more than a thousand acres of roses bloom, the whole mountain is covered with purple and red, and the fragrance fills the valley, forming a spectacular sea of roses.
Miaofeng Mountain is at the highest point of 1291 meters. We walked and stopped a lot. Today the wind was strong and we didn't see the legendary red leaves all over the mountain. You need to buy a ticket at the top of the scenic area, which costs 40 yuan. Students (undergraduates and below) can get half price. There are multiple forks leading to the temple, the top of the mountain, and the Rose Valley... Going up further is the top of the mountain, but it is not part of the scenic area.
Miaofeng Mountain is actually a Taoist mountain. The main peak is Yuhuangding, which is dedicated to the Jade Emperor. The most famous is the Huiji Temple (commonly known as the Niangniang Temple), which is dedicated to various gods and goddesses. It is effective for praying for children. Unmarried girls like us should not worship!
Tips: Located in Mentougou District in western Beijing, take bus No. 5 from Pingguoyuan Station on Subway Line 1, get off at Jiangou Station, and climb up the mountain. Drive along the West Sixth Ring Road, which is more than 70 kilometers away from my home. It takes two hours to drive (the road conditions are good, but there are many bends on the mountain road, and Mr. Luo is timid and drives slowly), and you can drive to the top of the mountain. Parking is 10 yuan (pay at the foot of the mountain), and the entrance fee is 40 yuan.
Although it is a Taoist mountain, Miaofeng Mountain is very down-to-earth and full of villagers. The temples are often mixed with Buddhism and Taoism, and there are all kinds of gods. In the temples for worshipping Zhang Tianshi and Ge Xuan, the guards knock a bowl with the word "Buddha" printed on it; the newly erected stone tablet outside the Huiji Temple reads "Buddha's light shines everywhere"; when you go into the God of Wealth Temple, you will see dozens of gods of wealth: Bigan, Fan Li, Guan Yu, Guan Ping, Yue Fei, Zhao Gongming, and various gods of wealth in Tibetan Buddhism... It is full of fireworks. No matter how the dynasties change, the villagers only worship the gods that can benefit them. Miaofeng Mountain is not about faith or culture, but about thinking about sociology and the psychology of villagers in folk life.
It is said that Miaofeng Mountain is effective for praying for a child, but if you are not praying for a child specifically, I would not recommend going there.
Beautiful red place, worth visiting for sightseeing
Miaofeng Mountain is very famous, and I always thought that the scenic area was very large (it is not true). After checking the ticket, there is a short corridor to enter the scenic area. Walking on this corridor, I can't feel any cold wind, which is amazing. I was caught in the wind as soon as I got out of the parking lot. I was freezing and almost gave up the idea of entering the scenic area. It is very pleasant to enjoy the warm sun in the winter without wind on the corridor in the scenic area.
Miaofeng Mountain is relatively small, and it takes about an hour to visit after buying a ticket. Fortunately, there is a wild mountain not far from Miaofeng Mountain that is very interesting, and it is worth the trip.
The spring breeze could not turn Miaofeng Mountain green. When we arrived at the big rock pile at the main peak of Yangtai Mountain, the setting sun began to turn red. The whistling mountain wind swept away the fatigue of the journey. The teammates were rejuvenated. That was the heroic spirit of reaching the top of the mountain.
It is indeed a paradise for cyclists. There are cyclists all along the way, but it is indeed quite dangerous. The mountain road keeps winding, and drivers and cyclists have to be careful. On that day, they bumped into each other and saw the traffic police dealing with it. You can drive directly to the top of Miaofeng Mountain, so there is actually no need to climb the mountain. There is a large parking lot on the top of the mountain. After getting off the car, buy a ticket, go in and visit several temples to worship the gods and Buddhas, and then you can drink tea in the teahouse and enjoy the scenery. After drinking tea, walk up a flight of stairs to reach the top of the mountain. There is a large platform, and the children can run around. It is also good to look into the distance and be in a daze.
Miaofeng Mountain is more than 50 kilometers away from the city center. It belongs to the Taihang Mountains. The main peak is 1,291 meters above sea level. June is the time to harvest alpine roses. When visibility is good, you can overlook the capital. At the beginning of the dog days, although there is a lot of fog, the top of the mountain is not hot. It is still cool with a breeze. It is a good place to escape the summer heat closest to the capital.
Generally speaking, there are many cyclists who want to go to Miaofeng Mountain. There are many cycling tours on the winding mountain road. The 15-kilometer uphill section is a test of one's perseverance. If you ride from the Miaofeng Mountain ticket office to the mountain, you will enjoy a 20-kilometer downhill section. Recommended season: spring and summer. Equipment: bicycles, water, food. (There is a town in the middle of the mountain where you can eat, but not at the top of the mountain).
You can see beautiful scenery when you climb to a high place. It is very comfortable when the breeze blows. It is still a bit tiring to climb up.
Miaofeng Mountain Road is 21km long. The first 15km is not very steep, and the last 6km is a little steeper. For experts, it is not difficult. Turn right at 7km down the mountain, and there is another mountain road to Shangweidian, which is a fire road. It is one lane wide and has many bends, but not steep. The scenery is also good, and you can see all the mountains. After passing the rose garden on the top of the mountain, it is a long downhill to Shangweidian. You can go to the Dongfanghong Tunnel. There is a 5km uphill in front of the Dongfanghong Tunnel, which is quite steep. It is a good place for self-driving and cycling! ! ! !
A cycling paradise, the 100km is flat, and the 20km uphill requires a strong will. There is the Miaofeng Mountain Alpine Rose Garden nearby, which is very beautiful if you go there in May!
One of the natural attractions in western Beijing, it is not far from the city, about 60 kilometers away, and you can drive back and forth in one day. It is a paradise for cross-country hiking enthusiasts. You can drive to the entrance of the scenic area. There are several temples in the scenic area. The most famous one is the Niangniang Temple, a place for worshiping Buddha and praying for children.
The road to each temple is a built staircase. If you want to climb to the top, you can only take the wild road. The top is not very high, and it takes only an hour to get there by walking and stopping. The scenery at the top of the mountain is still very good. Looking around, there are towering mountains and there are wild apricot flowers all over the mountain in spring. There is a cliff on one side of the top of the mountain, which is a good place to take pictures.
If you continue to go forward after the top of the mountain, you will reach Jiufeng. If you are hiking, you can walk both mountains together. It is said to be about 10 kilometers. If you go back and forth in one day, it is recommended to bring your own food and grass. The village at the foot of the mountain is called Jiangou Village, where there are many farmhouses. If you are not used to eating farmhouse food, you should not go.
This is also a paradise for cycling enthusiasts, and professionally dressed cyclists can be seen everywhere.
If you don't encounter an accident or traffic jam, it's still an easy drive. Take the West Sixth Ring Road on Fushishi Road and exit at Junzhuang toll station. Turn left at the first traffic light after the toll station and follow the signs to your destination.
Miaofeng Xianghui is a place with rich historical and cultural heritage in Beijing. No explanation is needed. The scenic area is very large.
I have been to Miaofeng Mountain several times. I remember that the mountain road was difficult to climb when I drove the bus; the steps after entering the scenic area were also steep, but I forgot the rest. Driving to Miaofeng Mountain in the golden autumn, the scenery along the way was already very beautiful.
It's just average. However, this is the highest point in Beijing.
It has a rich historical connotation and is a very distinctive place.
A scenic spot close to Beijing, with a lot of incense.
I've been there three times, twice by bike and once by bus. The incense path is very nice, with many big trees and plenty of shade!
If you drive to the gate of the scenic area, 20 minutes of sightseeing is enough. Out-of-town tourists should not make a special trip to visit.
Miaofeng Mountain Scenic Area is located in Mentougou District, west of Beijing. The mountain is lush with trees, beautiful scenery, many ancient temples, and seasonal landscapes such as sunrise, sunset, rime, and mountain market. In autumn, Miaofeng Mountain is covered with colorful trees, and the number of tourists is just right, so there will not be the unpleasant scene of only seeing tourists but no red leaves like in Xiangshan.
When you reach the top of Miaofeng Mountain, the mountain wind is still very strong, so jackets and hats are essential. There are no guardrails or other equipment on the top of the mountain, nor are there any stone tablets of certain peaks, only a cliff. But here you can definitely feel the view of all the mountains. The winding mountain road in front of you, with layers of forests and mountains, should be the feeling of the top of the mountain.
40 yuan/person, half price for senior citizen and student ID. There are temple fairs during major Buddhist festivals. The incense is quite popular, and many people come to fulfill their vows. The road to the top of the mountain is not easy to walk, with a lot of gravel.
A paradise for cyclists. The scenery is beautiful in all seasons. A skilled rider can reach the top of the mountain in an hour. Ordinary cyclists who can't stand it can push their bikes up the mountain. From the mountain gate to the top of the mountain, the distance is 21 kilometers, no more, no less, and the altitude rises by 1,100 meters.
At the top of the mountain, I met five elderly people who were climbing the wild mountain. I realized that you can climb the wild mountain without buying a ticket. Then you can climb the wild mountain through the small path next to it and climb all the way to Phoenix Ridge! I really admire these elderly people.
Because we climbed up and down the mountain so fast, it took less than four hours in total, so we took the bus down the mountain at 4:30. It was still very cold in the morning and evening on the mountain, even though it was July and August, so it is recommended to bring a thin jacket if you go there.
If you go to Miaofeng Mountain, there will be a scenic bus from the Apple Garden to pick you up every weekend. It leaves at 8 o'clock and there is only one trip. On weekdays, there is bus No. 892 that leaves from Apple Garden to Jiangou at 9:20 every day. You will arrive at Miaofeng Mountain at about 11 o'clock. There are two buses going down the mountain. This bus will take a rest for a while and then go down the mountain (around 11 o'clock). Another bus will go down the mountain at 4:30 in the afternoon. Accommodation is almost all farmhouses when you walk in from where you get off the bus. The price is similar to that of Shuanglongxia Lingshan, 100 per room on weekends and 50 to 81 per room on weekdays. The room is charged by room, not by person.
It was Monday and there were very few people climbing the mountain. From the beginning to the top of the mountain, I met a person who seemed to be an electrician who went up the mountain to check the wires. After climbing Lingshan Mountain, climbing Miaofeng Mountain was just a piece of cake.
During the climb, through the rain and fog, I occasionally heard people talking in low voices, whispering, and even shouting. It seems that I am not the only one in the mountain, but the clouds are so deep that I don't know where I am. I couldn't help but be excited, and I also raised my Dantian Qi to the empty valley and the sea of fog, and tried to shout, oh, hoo, hoo! Suddenly, I felt the clear air rising and the turbid air falling, and my whole body was refreshed. The government's investment has indeed brought benefits to the people in the mountainous areas. Not to mention the food, housing, and clothing of the mountain people, but in terms of "travel", the mountains today are indeed different from the mountains in the past.
It is a famous must-visit place for pilgrims in western Beijing. The scenery changes with each season and is very beautiful, especially in spring and autumn. Miaofeng Mountain is also a stage of the Beijing Cycling Race. The continuous 20km winding climb is daunting for many people.
What a joy!
I rode from Tianjin to Beijing just to climb Miaofeng Mountain. It was the most beautiful time of Miaofeng Mountain, with peach blossoms blooming all over the mountain.
This is another small mountain, comparable to Baiwang Mountain. If you are not too bored or a mountaineering enthusiast, I don't recommend it.
You can go hiking after leaving the scenic area. The autumn scenery is nice, with layers of forests in all colors (I have no words for this again). . .
Jinding Miaofeng Mountain is a must-go place for Beijing cyclists. The route is particularly good and the fastest speed to the top is 42 minutes.
The scenic spot is OK, there is basically no maintenance, but there is still a fee, 20 yuan per person for admission + 10 yuan for parking
The mountain road is a bit rugged, drive carefully
The view from the top of the mountain is OK, and it will be even better if it rains
