Beiling Mountain is a must-visit, and it's no wonder it's called the "Altay of Beijing."

🌈 Beiling Mountain is 1,950 meters above sea level and offers stunning views all year round. This route is a must for those who love northern mountain scenery, with alpine meadows, birch forests, wildflowers, ancient villages, boardwalks, strange rocks, and flocks of sheep. If you visit on a clear day, you might even see a sea of clouds!
🌈 Beiling Mountain is also known as "Chive Mountain" because of the wild chives that grow on its slopes. Hikers can pick fresh wild chives and make chive dumplings or chive pockets on the mountain. The chives usually grow from summer to fall.
🌈 Beiling Mountain has a rich variety of plants, including green grass, birch forests, and wild chives. The most impressive feature is the wildflowers that cover the mountain.
