Day 1 Across the country → → Beijing
All day
This morning we will gather and take high-speed trains or planes to Beijing, the capital of our country.
We will arrange a pick-up at the airport/station for everyone; then we will take a bus to Chengde.
Tourists who arrive a day in advance can explore Beijing on their own.
When talking about the imperial capital, most people's first impression is the palaces of ancient emperors and generals, with red walls and yellow tiles, painted buildings and carved beams, the fusion of courtyard houses and high-rise buildings, and authentic Beijing snacks such as bean juice, sausage, fried tripe, fried liver, and ma xiao.
As the heart of China, this seemingly small city on the map not only carries thousands of years of history and culture, but also vividly displays various modern art coordinates.
Let's experience the old Beijing hutong charm of "a pipe lighting up the setting sun" in the imperial capital; explore the historical ups and downs of "Prince Gong's Mansion, half of the history of the Qing Dynasty"; experience the artistic explosion of 798 where cultures collide; and feel the decline of the empire and the cultural gap beneath the ruins...

Daqingshan, the middle section of the Yinshan Mountain Range, stretches across central Inner Mongolia. It's not only a crucial geographical demarcation but also a stunning autumn hiking corridor. The autumn colors here blend the grandeur and splendor of northern China, with rolling hills and changing forests and grasses, making it a rare autumn hiking destination in North China.
Steep ravines cut out a geological epic, and the Aobao prayer flags sing a thousand-year pastoral song in the autumn wind. Every frame can be painted, and every moment becomes eternal. There is also a Zelda-like rift valley here, where you can take photos and check in, which is very photogenic.
