Persimmon Wishes Family and Pet-Friendly Hidden Hiking Trail in Changping

🍂Beijing Changping｜The Stunning "Persimmon Wishes" Hillside in Dalinggou🍁The season we wait for all year!

Guess what magical spot I’ve discovered again? Right next to the Ming Tombs in Dalinggou! The entire hillside is covered with persimmons that look like red lanterns. Now is the perfect time to visit—miss it and you’ll have to wait a whole year!

📍Address: Kiwifruit Valley Scenic Area, Dalinggou, Ming Tombs, Changping District
🚗Transportation: Recommended to drive (navigate to the North Gate parking lot of the scenic area), or take bus Chang 55 to "Dalinggou" stop and walk 1.5 km

Climb to the pavilion at the mountain top to see both the Ming Tombs Reservoir and the persimmon forest dyed in autumn colors. The best light is at 4 PM✨

⚠️Tips to Avoid Trouble:
1. The scenic area has many gravel paths, be sure to wear non-slip shoes!
2. Do not pick persimmons (protected area with a 500+ yuan fine)
3. The small shop halfway up the mountain only sells instant noodles, bring your own snacks

🍁Best Viewing Period: Mid-October to early November
🍜Nearby Food: On the way back, stop by Changping town for a “Spring Pancake Feast,” the crispy thin pancakes rolled with pork knuckle are a perfect match!
