🇨🇳Discovering Yanqi Lake, a Little Switzerland near Beijing! 🏞️

#OverseasTravel

It truly lived up to its nickname, "Little Switzerland near Beijing"! This place, close to the Chinese Academy of Sciences University, offers truly breathtaking scenery.

✨Recommended Points

· Xishanshidao (西山步道): The best observation deck for taking in the entire lake! It's especially beautiful in autumn with the changing leaves.
· Yanqi Lake Trail: The walk along the lake is also fantastic. The water is a vibrant emerald green.

📸 Must-See Photo Spots
The view of the lake and surrounding scenery from the wooden fence on the hillside is truly spectacular. It was so reminiscent of a European scene that I couldn't help but snap a photo.

💡Visit Tips

· Weekends can be crowded, so I recommend visiting on a weekday if possible.
· If you have your Chinese Academy of Sciences student ID, you can get discounts on nearby facilities!

I was surprised to find such beautiful nature so close to Beijing. It was a really perfect place to heal!
