Xiangshan Park

香山公园

Xiangshan Park is a royal garden with mountain and forest characteristics. In ancient times, the emperor would go here to hunt and cool off in summer and autumn. There are many cultural relics and historical sites in the park, including "Clear Snow on the Western Hills", one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Yanjing, and "Biyun Temple", a temple with architectural styles of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The red leaves of Xiangshan are famous both at home and abroad. In 1986, it was rated as one of the "New Sixteen Scenic Spots of Beijing", becoming the most intense autumn color in the capital. The Wintersweet Valley in Xiangshan Park has been built for more than 10 years, and more than 100 wintersweets in the valley have begun to take shape. The petals of wintersweets are small and bright yellow, shining under the warm winter sun, and the wintersweets emit a faint and refreshing fragrance.

Beijing Xiangshan Park is the most intoxicating in autumn! The mountains are full of red maple leaves, cotinus coggygria, and yellow ginkgo, blue sky and white clouds☁☁☁☁☁☁, and there are crowds of happy people. It is like a beautiful Garden of Eden! Starting from November every year, tourists from all over the world come here to enjoy the maple leaves. In fact, the red leaves in Xiangshan Park are generally best viewed from the end of October to the beginning of November. There is a super tall ginkgo tree in Biyun Temple, which is full of fallen leaves. It is very spectacular and is the best place to take photos. Xiangshan Park is also worthy of being a base for photography enthusiasts. Every autumn, it attracts countless photography enthusiasts and Chinese and foreign tourists. The ticket is usually ten yuan. You can buy a combined ticket including Biyun Temple, etc.

Come to Xiangshan to climb the mountain on weekends. It is a super healing sport. You can sweat a lot, challenge the upper limit of your physical strength, and forget your psychological troubles. The ticket is 5 yuan per person. There are annual tickets. Cash and WeChat are accepted. Private cars are parked in parking lot No. 9, right on the roadside. Don't miss it. It is recommended to come early. Parking spaces are limited, 20 a day. The top is Xianglu Peak. There are different routes up and down the mountain. There is a panoramic view. There are mostly stairs on the right and slopes on the left. It is recommended to go to the right when going up the mountain and to the left when going down the mountain. It is really unbearable to go down the stairs. The average climbing time is 1-2 hours, depending on personal speed. The mountain is not that steep, there are quite a lot of people, it is very lively, and the air in the mountain is better than at the foot of the mountain. Some people climb the mountain for entertainment, and some people carry water up the mountain for their livelihood. Mineral water on the mountain is 5 yuan a bottle, and heated water is 6 yuan a bottle. They are all hard-earned money.

In fact, we arrived quite late and many red leaves had fallen.
Although red leaves are beautiful, there are many trees with yellow leaves, and the yellow leaves are also very beautiful!
Xiangshan Park is very large. We walked for 2 hours and only visited a small part. We originally wanted to go to the red leaf forest on the map, but we saw many tourists who turned back and told us that the strong wind the day before had blown away all the leaves. So we turned back early.

How to say it? Beijing's Xiangshan is world-famous. Even textbooks describe its magnificence, which makes me have to come here to see it. But maybe this is the reason. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. First of all, I went to Xiangshan on October 25th. It was late autumn. It should have been a lush autumn scenery, but it was green, mixed with yellow and a little red. It was really disappointing. There were so many people on the Xianglu Peak. I was almost pushed down when I stood on the observation deck to take pictures. It is said that you can see the whole picture of the imperial capital from the top of the mountain, but the imperial capital is so big and the mountain is so far away, and a thin layer of clouds and mist blurs the scenery. The mountain is very steep. It costs 100 to take the cable car up and down the mountain one way, and you have to queue for more than an hour. It will take at least one and a half hours to climb up. It is tiring and there is no beautiful scenery. There are many people. I will only come here once in my life.

Finally we reached the top. Oh my god, I was so tired from climbing from 9am to 4pm! I heard that there are a lot of people on Xianglu Peak during the peak season. Some travel notes said that I was almost pushed down when I was taking pictures on the viewing platform. But there were not many people here today. The peak season of Xiangshan is mainly when you can see the red leaves in autumn.

Then our thrilling event of the day began! We finally climbed to the top of the mountain and were taking pictures when we suddenly heard a loud speaker behind us shouting, "The cable car in Xiangshan Park will stop soon, it will stop at 4:30!" I looked at the watch and wow, it was already 4:28. Am I crazy?

When we were climbing up the mountain, the cable car was not open yet, so we couldn't take the cable car. We thought about taking the cable car down the mountain, especially since we were already exhausted after climbing up. We started at 9 o'clock in the morning and it was already 4:30 in the afternoon. If we continued to walk, it would be dark before we could get down! So we had to take the cable car down. Why did it stop at 4:30? There were only two minutes left, so we didn't have time to take a closer look. We just took this photo and ran to the cable car station.

We were a group of two, and she stayed behind to take another photo while I quickly ran over to buy the tickets.

It was so far away. I turned and ...

When I rushed in, I saw a couple. The man was shouting, saying, "You can't do this, you can't do this!"

As soon as I rushed in, he saw me and suddenly rushed up to me and shouted, "Do you have money? Do you have money?!"

I thought it was a robbery!

It took me a long time to figure out that the Xiangshan Cable Car only accepts cash, not WeChat, Alipay, or any other electronic method!

The man and the woman didn't have any money with them. He shouted: What kind of society is this now? Who still carries cash?!

Now that I'm in, they're asking me, I asked how much it would cost? He said 80 yuan per person, so the three of us would cost more than 200 yuan. I said it wasn't three people, it was four people, and I had a partner, so it would be more than 300 yuan, then I'd have to take a look (playing cool little ant)

If I only have more than 200 yuan, I can only buy tickets for three people. Then I will definitely consider myself and my companion, and the other two people can only buy one ticket!

So who will take the cable car and who will walk? Haha, it turns out that couples can't climb Xiangshan together. They are about to have a quarrel! (Snickering)

Fortunately, I looked through the money and found that I had brought 400 yuan in cash. My god, I finally saved their lives. They transferred the money to me through WeChat, and the four of us were finally able to go down the mountain together.

Xiangshan is located in the northwest of Beijing city, and the entrance of the scenic area is directly accessible by the Xijiao Line of the subway. The main peak of Xiangshan, Xianglu Peak, is 575 meters above sea level. It is not difficult to climb and you can reach the top of the main peak, Xianglu Peak, in just an hour.
Xiangshan is famous for its red leaves in autumn, but we didn't see many red leaves during our trip in late October, probably because it was too early. However, there were quite a lot of tourists in the scenic area, especially for the mountaintop cable car, so be prepared to queue for more than an hour.

It is better to stay in bed and sweat than to sleep. This is my fourth time climbing Xiangshan. I really hope I can catch up to see this beautiful place in autumn.

By John Xie |

Originally, Xiangshan Park was not included in our plan, but my mother had a strong desire to go and see it, and it happened to be the Xiangshan Red Leaf Season, so we went to see it. We took the subway to the Xijiao Line. The tickets for the Xijiao Line cannot be purchased at the subway station in the city unless you pay with your mobile phone. You can only take the Xijiao Line to buy light rail tickets. If you pay with the mobile phone APP, it doesn’t matter. I deliberately didn’t catch the weekend, but there were still a lot of people. The exit of the subway station is still some distance from the entrance of the park. There are various small restaurants and souvenir shops around, and the entrance is also crowded. I bought the tickets online in advance, and then I quickly bought the tickets at the entrance of the light rail station. There was a QR code, which I could scan to buy the tickets. After entering the gate, I walked for a while and then started climbing the mountain. However, we originally planned to take the cable car up, but we took the wrong fork and didn’t want to go back, so we just climbed up. It turned out that parents with a slightly larger area should take the cable car, as it was too tiring to climb up. The cable car is 100 yuan per trip, and 200 yuan per person for up and down. After climbing for about an hour and a half, we got on top and could overlook the city of Beijing. When there are fewer people, it is worth climbing slowly and enjoying the view slowly.

I grew up in a neighborhood near here. My favorite spots are: Jianxinzhai, Biyun Temple (especially the Arhat Hall and the spring inside), Liuli Tower, and Zhao Temple. I also recommend Shuangqing Villa to those who haven't been there. Xiangshan Temple was recently renovated, and Xiangshan is even more beautiful now. You don't have to go there in autumn, spring and summer are also good.

Xiangshan Park, located in the western suburbs of Beijing, is a great place for mountain climbing and fitness.

By Introverted Xiaoteng |

The peach blossoms are in bloom, white, pink, yellow... beautiful~ Go up the mountain through the East Gate, go down the mountain through the North Gate, check in for 3 hours~

By Xia Jie|

Xiangshan Park is located in the middle of Beijing Haidian District, on the eastern foot of Xiaoxishan Mountain, covering an area of ​​about 160 hectares. As early as the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the royal family built palaces and villas in Xiangshan, and the emperors would go there to hunt and cool off in summer and autumn. Xiangshan Temple was once the most famous temple in western Beijing, and it is also a good place to enjoy the red leaves in autumn.

By jill |

When the weather is good, you can overlook the entire Bauhinia City! It is a great place with fresh air!

By Aqua |

That's it. If you live in Beijing for a long time, you can come here to climb the mountain on weekends. As a tourist attraction, it's not very interesting.

By Lushan Shenglongba |

Time rolls over the end of summer, the wind is rising and the clouds are surging, a thin leaf is falling after the rain; the early autumn in Xiangshan, the sentimental ginkgo, yes, this is very Beijing

By Martian User|

There is a huge breast rock on the top of Xiangshan Mountain, which is 575 meters above sea level. It is shaped like an incense burner and is surrounded by clouds and mist at dawn and dusk. From a distance, it looks like smoke rising from an incense burner. Hence the name Xianglu Mountain, or Xiangshan for short.

A place suitable for all seasons, you can go hiking and visit the botanical garden, or take the Xijiao Line. For a long-distance option, you can also choose Xiangshan and Xishan Badachu. You can start hiking at about 11 o'clock and leave from Badachu at 3 or 4 o'clock!

Autumn is the time to enjoy the maple leaves in Xiangshan Park. Xiangshan Park is located in the western suburbs of Beijing. We took Metro Line 10 and got off at "Bagou" Station. After exiting the station, we transferred to the Xiangshan Line of the tram and got off at Xiangshan Station. It takes about 30 minutes from Bagou Station to Xiangshan, and the ticket price is four yuan. Because it is the peak season of Xiangshan now, the park implements online ticket sales, and there is no ticket sales point on site. You need to buy tickets in advance on the WeChat public account "Travel to the Park" to enter the park. I have to say, why are there so many people on weekdays? At the entrance of the park, you can scan the QR code for buying tickets for the staff to enter the park. After entering from the East Palace Gate, we walked along the road on the left hand side, from the direction of Xiangshan Temple to the mountain. The sign indicated that this was the red leaf area, but I really didn't see many red leaves along the way. Later, I heard someone say that it was because the wind in Beijing was too strong a few days ago, and the red leaves were blown away. It took almost three hours to climb to the highest point, Xianglu Peak, and it was really tiring. After taking a look at Xianglu Peak, I planned to go down the mountain. It was relatively easy to go down the mountain. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when I reached the foot of the mountain. I took the Xiangshan Line tram on the way back.
If you plan to hike up Xiangshan Mountain, it is recommended to bring water and dry food.

Come to Xiangshan in autumn to see the red maple leaves.

By Mumujiang|

The scenery is beautiful, and you can see leaves of various colors at once!

By Heart on the Journey |

After five or six years, I visited Xiangshan Park again. Everything was so familiar. As a Beijinger, I always visit it again from time to time. I can't remember how many times I have been there. But some memories, whether they are far or near, are indelible. Watching the sunset from the top of Xianglu Peak, my friends cheered and jumped. Looking for artistic conception in the clear snow on the West Mountain, the middle school students looked confused. Watching the red leaves on the slope of Nanshan, the youthful face was red. Now the red leaves are still there, but I can't see my leaf...

A mountain in the western suburbs. When the weather is good, you can see the whole city. It is not too high or too low, suitable for climbing once a week.

By Little Donkey |

I went to Xiangshan yesterday. Where are the red leaves? They are very scattered. I heard that there is less rain this year, so the leaves are not red. When I climbed to the top of the mountain, it was gray and gloomy. There were only a few red leaves at the foot of the mountain. There were many people. There were too many people climbing on the road. It was crowded and there was no scenery. People say that the scenery at the bottom of the mountain is good before the top of the mountain. At least there are red leaves. I haven't been there yet. I hope to go next year. Maybe it will be better next year.

By A Egg Tart Wandering Guide |

Although I went there in late summer or early autumn in Beijing, there were no red leaves yet, which is the symbol of Xiangshan, but the green Xiangshan in summer is also beautiful. I know a friend in Beijing, and he said that Xiangshan is a place for old men and old women, but I think climbing the mountain is also very nice. I strongly recommend taking the cable car when going up the mountain, so that you can have a better view of the scenery

By Kimi_jm |

I think the autumn scenery in Xiangshan Park is really nice. It's better not to go there on weekends. I think Xiangshan is the best place to enjoy autumn in Beijing. I went there on the last day of October. The maple leaves were red, the ginkgo trees were yellow, the persimmons were ripe, the sky was blue, and there were historical sites and temples. In short, it was beautiful.

By Tong Xin Yao |

I went to Beijing on a business trip and wanted to see the red leaves, so I went to Xiangshan on purpose. I went there on October 19th, but the leaves were not red enough, which was a bit of a pity. My friend also went there yesterday. This time is just right. The end of October and the beginning of October are the best times to see the red leaves. The scenic spot is relatively remote, but the tickets are not expensive. I don't recommend staying nearby. It's relatively remote and the price is not cheap. You can't go out at night. I recommend staying near the Summer Palace.

We queued up for an hour.
We queued for an hour to go down the mountain.
There was always a queue on the mountain.
People follow the crowd.

By Zhan Yan|

The red leaves of Xiangshan are very famous, and many tourists from other places come here to see them. Most of them are disappointed after seeing them. Most of the trees with red leaves in Xiangshan are maple leaves. They look okay from a distance, but the leaves are damaged by insects when you look closely, and they are not as beautiful as the five-pointed maple leaves. There are many tour groups and people everywhere. There is nothing to see. This is the first time I went to Xiangshan to see red leaves in many years, and I returned disappointed.

By Gong Yaoliang |

Everyone knows Beijing's Xiangshan Park, which is covered with red leaves, decorating the entire park. Autumn has arrived.

By SLR |

I wanted to see the red 🍁, but I only saw the green scenery. Many small attractions were closed and some were under maintenance. It was just a place to climb the mountain. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see the scenery of Beijing. There is nothing special.

By Tonghua Qiwu|

I went there last weekend. The weather was very good, the air was moist, the sky was blue, and there was no wind. Although the red leaves had not yet appeared at this time of year, there were still many people climbing Xiangshan, including the elderly, children, and young people. It was also good to go to the mountain to look out and breathe the air of Xinxian. From the top of the mountain, you can see the Pangu Grand View and the Summer Palace. Below are densely packed buildings and bustling people. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can't imagine the congestion in the city below. It's also very comfortable to say goodbye to the fast-paced life for a while!
By the way, the combined ticket of 15 yuan for adults is worth it. The toilet is very clean and well-equipped. You can climb the entire Xiangshan Mountain in half a day. It is a good place to go on weekends.

By Kasumi |

Compared with other scenic spots, Xiangshan is a less popular place for tourists from other places. Generally, locals or people from the surrounding areas go there more often. As for me, I have too much yearning and obsession for Xiangshan, so I have to go there! We also deliberately avoided the weekend, after all, many museums are closed on Mondays, so it was just the right time to go to Xiangshan.
The weather was great - very good. We arrived at the park gate before eight o'clock. The ticket price was 15 yuan in the peak season and cheaper at other times.
One thing to note is that you have to go to the south when you enter the gate, because the north side is a fitness trail with almost no scenery and surrounded by a wall. The first half of the road is very flat. You can refer to Qingxiu Mountain, which has many scenic spots and many allusions. We also moved up slowly. On the road, the red maple, yellow maple, and ginkgo trees have changed color, but the color change is not very consistent, and there is a clear stratification, but they are all very beautiful, and the air is also super good.
The second half of the trail changed to Xishan Qingxue. It was a vertical staircase. Even in the temperature of a few degrees, I was sweating profusely.
Xiangshan is a very spiritual mountain with beautiful scenery.
We were so exhausted that we decided to take the cable car down the mountain. Otherwise, it would take too much time to walk down the mountain, and we would have to face many people coming up. It was 100 yuan per person, and it was an open cable car. It was actually a bit scary to go down. The wind was very strong, and it took 17 minutes to slide down.

By Molly Loves Travel |

Very good place, I will recommend it to my friends next time

By Mr. Z |

There were a lot of people and cars when I went there. When I was about to take the bus, there was a traffic jam, so I got off and walked. When I returned, I had to queue for the bus. The scenery was okay, but there were a lot of people. There is a saying that the red leaves of Xiangshan are hyped. I personally think this place is average, but when I came here with my classmates, I didn't have such high expectations for the scenery. I think I will feel different when I come here again after the subway passes. Photo time 2017.10.21.

By SugarSunnys |

I went there last year when the red leaves were in full bloom at Xiangshan. There weren't many people there, but there were a lot of cars. It was great to take the cable car to the top of the mountain and get a bird's eye view of Beijing.

By Wake Up Mr. |

Generally, people go to Xiangshan in mid to late October, when the autumn leaves have all turned red. If you travel by yourself without driving, it will be quite difficult. You need to get up early and then take at least two buses.

Get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and climb Xiangshan Mountain in the cool autumn weather.
The plants are shy, elegant and quiet, and the red leaves are like endless fire.

Xiangshan is famous for its maple leaves, but unfortunately I went there at the wrong time and missed the beautiful period of maple leaves. If I had chosen the right time to go there, I would have taken many beautiful photos.

By The past is like smoke |

Generally speaking, it is good, especially during holidays. Compared with famous attractions in Beijing, there are fewer people here, which makes it suitable for holiday travel.

By ★Xin Shao JoShun★ |

See the red leaves in Xiangshan! Didn't see the red leaves, but the cable car gave you a view of the Forbidden City

Traffic jam, ok during non-peak hours, but the West Suburb Line is poorly built, slow, and has low capacity!

By Jenny |

The autumn scenery in Xiangshan is particularly brilliant, with maple leaves all over the mountains and fields, and the colors are very rich. With clusters of red leaves dotting the landscape, Xiangshan also exudes the flavor of autumn. A famous scenic spot in the western suburbs of Beijing, it was a royal garden in the Qing Dynasty. It is surrounded by mountains and lush trees, making it a good place for mountaineering and summer vacation.

Look far away to admire the red leaves all over the mountains, and raise your head to see the people coming one after another.

By Sisi Whisper |

The red leaves of Xiangshan are indeed famous, but it is precisely because they are so famous that a trip to Xiangshan in mid-to-late October is really like trekking through mountains and rivers. If you don't get stuck in traffic for an hour or two, it's not really a trip to Xiangshan. Therefore, it is definitely a wise choice to avoid Xiangshan when viewing the red leaves in autumn.

By Officer Ng |

I went there in the fall of 2017. I originally wanted to avoid the crowds and wait until the peak season was over, but there were still a lot of people. I walked on the wild road with the outdoor team and it felt good.

By Liu Guaiguai|

We went there on November 10th, originally for the red leaves of Xiangshan, but by then most of the red leaves had fallen, and the scattered small red leaves became the embellishment of the large yellow leaves. This place is more suitable for walking. It was a bit disappointing to see the red leaves, but we still found a few persimmon trees and encountered a little squirrel.

I didn't think the whole mountain was red as I imagined. I didn't expect the mountain to be quite high. I thought the ticket was not expensive and the price-performance ratio was high. However, the transportation was inconvenient when I went there. There were more people than cars. (I took the bus)

By LazyGirl|

When I think of Xiangshan Park, I feel like crying. The following is the only maple tree I saw. I was so excited to climb to the top of the mountain, but I was disappointed. But the environment is not bad, who told me to love climbing mountains.

By Chaos Ants |

There are already many people entering the park at 7 o'clock. If you want to enjoy the red leaves instead of the scenic spots, I strongly recommend the road on the south side closest to the wall. There are few people and beautiful scenery, but it is a test of physical strength.

I left home at around 8am and went to Xiyuan to take bus 563/331. However, there were so many people waiting for the bus, about dozens of people, that I couldn't get on. I decided to share a car for 10 yuan per person. I got off the car early because it was too congested before I reached the roundabout. I walked past the roundabout and the botanical garden for about 40 minutes before I reached the north gate of Xiangshan Park. There were so many people that I had to queue for more than 10 meters to go to the toilet. I chose a road with fewer people to go up the mountain. Fortunately, there were only no red leaves along the way, and occasionally some yellow leaves. The scenery along the way was average, so I just took it as a way to relax and exercise. When I was about to reach the top of the mountain, there were more people, and I walked very slowly. It was not safe to have too many people. There were ups and downs, and the road was very narrow. There were also a lot of people going down the mountain. I could not walk slowly. The cable car looked a bit scary, so I didn't take it. I also saw two squirrels going down the mountain, which were very cute. Throughout the whole journey, it seemed that only a few trees at the foot of the mountain had more red leaves. The return trip was too inconvenient. The staff directed us to take the bus around the island. After walking for almost an hour, we found that the bus did not stop at all. There were too many people and it could not accommodate them even if it stopped. The illegal taxis were too shady. Fortunately, there was a bus that started at the Bajiao Amusement Park subway entrance Line 1. The return trip was bumpy~

I heard that there were red leaves in Xiangshan, so I climbed the mountain. I went to Biyun Temple and saw the five hundred arhats in different shapes. I admired them devoutly. After reaching the top of the mountain, it was crowded and no red leaves were seen. So I went down the mountain and found another way to walk the Red Leaf Ancient Trail. Finally, I saw red leaves in the mountains. What a worthwhile trip!

2017.10.25, left home at 9 am, took the bus, not too congested, first time here, 10 yuan ticket, probably time to see the red leaves, although it was a weekday, there were a lot of people, it was a bit difficult to take pictures without taking pictures of people, the maple leaves had not turned completely red, it should be better in a few days, there are many ways to go up the mountain, you can choose according to your preferences, it takes about an hour to reach the top at a constant speed, just bring some food, one bottle of water per person is enough, when going down the mountain, my legs were a little shaky, 😛. Overall very satisfied.

Overall it's pretty good. The flowers are beautiful in this season. The ticket is 10 yuan. Biyun Temple is 5 yuan. The round trip for the cable car and the van is 200 yuan. I went there today. There's nothing to see in Biyun Temple. I was fooled by someone saying there were red leaves so I took the bus. I suggest you take the cable car to see the highest point of the panoramic view. It was too unsafe to take the van today. The hillside is steep and the car is not good. The driver drove unsteadily several times. It was scary. I saw two red leaf trees when I went up the mountain. One is yellow and the other is red. It's not worth the 200 yuan. But overall I was quite happy. I will come back to see the red leaves all over the mountain if I have the chance.

There are few red leaves in cold weather. There are a few trees covered with red leaves at the foot of the mountain from time to time, but there are basically no red leaves on the top of the mountain. I am also surprised that the leaves are not red in late autumn. Xiangshan without red leaves is really ordinary. The bad weather makes it worse. It is not recommended to go there

On Sunday, I took Dora on a one-day hiking trip in Beijing: starting from Dongcheng District, the destination was Xianglu Peak in Xiangshan Park~~ Thank God it was sunset when we went up, the sun shone on the incense burner and produced purple smoke~~~

You can go hiking for leisure and fitness. There are a lot of people in the red leaf season. You can take a loop in the park and visit most of the scenic spots. I went there today and I really didn't see the red leaves. There were two trees with leaves that hadn't turned red at the entrance of the east gate. I didn't see any red leaves as I walked further in. Just treat it as fitness! I don't know where the red leaves are hiding, but I saw ginkgo trees. It is recommended to go to Shuangqing Villa and Biyun Temple to see ginkgo trees

The cable car is 100 yuan per person for a one-way trip, and only cash is accepted. The service staff are silent. In this day and age, it is still difficult to carry cash with you. Those who did not bring enough cash will cry. There are annual passes that can be used. I would not take the cable car unless my toes are swollen. I did not see the red leaves. Why didn’t I go out? There were so many people on Monday!

I went there during the National Day holiday. The road was under construction at the entrance, making the already narrow road even more crowded. The scenery is pleasant and well-deserved. I recommend taking the North Gate cable car up the mountain. Going down along the line of Shuangqing Villa is not very smooth. It not only saves time and energy, but also allows you to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Every time I go to Xiangshan, I go to see squirrels and red leaves. I can see squirrels every time, but I can't catch up with the red leaves every time.

To be honest, I was a little disappointed after I got there. I thought I would see a mountain full of maple leaves, but I searched for the entire afternoon and didn't find a single maple tree. Although there were red leaves all over the mountain, they were all rotten leaves of strange shapes, and were torn by insects. It was completely different from what I expected. Finally, when I got off the bus and took the bus, I saw a maple tree by the main road. I picked up two leaves and took them away as bookmarks.
It is one of the most beautiful sights in Beijing, so you can go there. I suggest you go there early in the morning because autumn is the season of red leaves and there are many people. It is probably in early November.

A must-go for those who want to see the red leaves and take photos. But it is a little crowded and the transportation is inconvenient.

Although you may not see the red leaves in the city, Xiangshan Park is still beautiful in the spring.

Time: March 2014 and March 2018. The altitude is more than 500 meters. There are cable cars up and down the mountain. It takes about two hours to walk up and down the mountain. The ticket is 5 yuan in the off-season. You can pay by scanning the WeChat code. Beijing Park Annual Pass is available.

I went to Xiangshan to see the red leaves, but the leaves were not red yet. I concentrated on climbing the mountain. When I reached the top, it was already sunset and the photos were all gray.

Xiangshan Painting and Calligraphy Academy is located near the west gate of the park.
I entered from the south gate and walked through the park leisure square, where some elderly people were having fun and enjoying the cool air.

The red leaves in Xiangshan in October are very beautiful, but there are too many people.

At the end of May, the Fragrant Mountain does not have the gorgeous red leaves, but the green color of the whole mountain is enchanting, and the fragrance of flowers fills your nose as soon as you enter the mountain. The fragrance of lilac flowers is all you can breathe along the way, which is refreshing!

Don't climb the ropeway, it's too tiring. You can climb up from other roads when you climb, and you can go down from there when you go down, which is faster.
