Drive to the Suburbs of Beijing to See the Sea | The "Mini MacLehose Trail" in Pinggu!

| The "Mini MacLehose Trail" in Pinggu! You know the MacLehose Trail, which was rated as one of the world's most beautiful hiking trails by National Geographic, right? I didn't expect that there is a similar "Mini MacLehose Trail" in the suburbs of Beijing!

📍It's in Jinhai Lake, Pinggu. You can navigate to the Wisteria Ground Parking Lot. It's very convenient to drive there.

This place is really great👏! There are very few people, and there were almost no people when I went there. When I climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the whole lake, I was shocked! It's not a scenic spot, so parking is free, and no tickets are required. You can also bring your pets🐶. The whole journey is not difficult, and the elderly and children can walk.

📝The hiking route is from Donggedong to the old site of Banshan Pavilion, and the scenery along the way is super beautiful.

You can navigate to Nanhua Villa, and you will see a sign that says Wisteria, which is the entrance. You can park your car under the sign. Walk for about 10 minutes, and you will see a sign for the entrance to the mountain on the right. I only walked along the lake, which is about 2 km back and forth. It took me 4 hours to walk and take photos, and it should take 1.5 hours if you walk fast. There is a low stone plank road on the mountain and a flat hard mud road by the lake. There is also a large loop of about 8 km, with an elevation gain of more than 300. Sometimes there will be wind, so remember to wear a windbreaker.

The weather is nice these days🌤️, which is very suitable for hiking here. Don't miss such beautiful scenery.
