Autumn Secret Realm! A 3-Day Tour of Huanglong Mountain Villa in Zhangjiakou, the Ultimate Summer Escape near Beijing---


Huanglong Mountain Villa in Zhangjiakou, a natural secret realm preserved by time, is gradually becoming a new favorite for short trips in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Located only 200 kilometers from Beijing, it combines alpine meadows, spectacular canyons, and a thousand-year-old ancient temple. With an average summer temperature of 23°C, it is truly a natural summer resort. In early September 2025, as autumn deepens, Huanglong Mountain Villa welcomes its most beautiful season of the year. The landscape, painted with layers of colorful forests, slowly unfolds, attracting countless visitors to explore this tranquility and grandeur.
The unique charm of Huanglong Mountain Villa lies in its perfect blend of diverse landforms. Visitors can stroll through the 1800-meter-high sky meadow and experience a fairyland shrouded in mist; or climb the cliffs to visit Wanglong Temple perched atop the mountain and listen to the millennium-old bell tolls. At the foot of the mountain, the Hushen Temple carries rich local history and culture, becoming a highlight where humanity and nature intertwine. The hiking trails within the scenic area are well designed to meet the challenges sought by outdoor enthusiasts while also providing easy sightseeing options for family visitors.
In terms of dining and accommodation, the surrounding farmhouses are famous for specialties such as roasted whole lamb and Youmian Wowo (oat noodles in nest shape), with ingredients mostly sourced locally, offering authentic flavors. Although hotels and guesthouses inside the scenic area are slightly more expensive, they allow guests to immerse themselves in the mountain’s dawn and dusk, especially suitable for travelers seeking an in-depth experience. For transportation, self-driving remains the best choice, taking about 3 hours from Beijing, adding convenience to short trips.
The popularity of Huanglong Mountain Villa is no coincidence. Its niche and pristine nature fill a gap in the suburban tourism market, making it an ideal place for city dwellers to escape the hustle and bustle. With the arrival of autumn scenery, it is expected to welcome a new peak in visitor flow. For travelers eager to find a spiritual haven in nature, Huanglong Mountain Villa is undoubtedly a destination worth setting off for immediately.
