1.Why didn’t I receive a text message notification after registering?

2. What if it rains during the event?

2-3 days before the event, we will decide whether to proceed with the event based on the weather forecast and route conditions. Please pay attention to our notifications. Most activities can proceed as usual even if there is light rain. There is still fun to be had on rainy days. If heavy rain is forecast, the event will be cancelled and a full refund will be given.

3. Is this route crowded?

Most of our routes are natural and niche, with relatively small traffic. Of course, it also depends on the registration situation of each session. Generally, ordinary buses are 37-seater buses, and a few large buses are 53-seater buses. Each bus has a certain proportion of tour leaders to ensure the quality of the activities.

The Shihu Line, a hiking trail located at the border of Beijing's Miyun District and Hebei Province, features canyons, a narrow strip of sky, the remains of the Great Wall, and natural villages. The route boasts majestic mountain scenery, lush vegetation, and stunning natural landscapes. The Shihu Line traverses an area bordered by valleys, with a central ridge crossing. Along the way, the route features striking Danxia landforms, including a cluster of natural pagoda mountains, each offering a unique view of the tapered peaks. Also near the Shihu Line is a natural village known as Changshou Village, home to only a dozen households, whose primary occupations are fruit cultivation and beekeeping. While the village has electricity, water is still drawn from a thousand-year-old well. Near the village stands a thousand-year-old pine tree, believed to grant one a long life of 100 years. The hike's starting and ending points are Huangyankou Village, where the emerald Huangyankou Reservoir lies at its head, offering a refreshing coolness in the summer.
