Overview:

Xishuiyu Xiaoxihu Natural Scenic Area is located in the former Huanghua urban and rural area in the northwest of Huairou County, Beijing. It is 85km away from Beijing, 71km away from the Asian Games Village, 21km away from the Ming Tombs in Changping, 41km away from Huairou County, 21km away from Mutianyu in Huairou. It is a unique tourist attraction with mountains, water and the Great Wall connected, with both natural and cultural landscapes.

Main attractions:

Mountain view:

There are mountains here, which are near Montenegro in the north, Lianhua Mountain in Yanqing in the west and yangshan in Changping in the south.

Waterscape:

There is water here, a reservoir completed in 1995, with an average water depth of 15 meters around the mountain stream. The natural water swimming pool is 111 meters long and 51 meters wide.

Changcheng:

There is also the Great Wall between mountains and rivers, the Xishuiyu Great Wall built in Hongzhi period of Ming Dynasty, which is the easternmost frontier fortress of Juyongguan in Ji Town of Ming Dynasty. Mutianyu Stone Buddha Mouth is connected to the east, Juyongguan is connected to the west, and the pass is Xishuiyu Pass. There is a main city, a water gate is empty, a fortress city, a city shop, a door is empty, and a horse wall is blocked, which is an important pass of Huanghua Road Great Wall in Ming Dynasty. So far, the Great Wall is well preserved and magnificent, including a section of the Great Wall on the water, which is a must for Xishuiyu Scenic Area.

Ancient Chestnut Garden:

There is a hundred acres of Daming Ancient Chestnut Garden in the scenic area, which is another scenic spot in Xishuiyu Natural Scenic Area. The soldiers guarding the city in the Ming Dynasty were divided into three parts to guard the border and seven parts to cultivate seeds. They worked hard to cultivate Daming Chestnut, which is a unique cultural wonder in the suburbs of Beijing.

Other scenic spots:

There are many cultural and natural landscapes, such as Yixiantian, Lover's Peak, Zicui Peak, Phoenix Terrace, water curtain cave, plank road around the lake, water park, water view of the Great Wall, etc., which can be described as "the fairy source of the Bohai Sea in the east is ancient, and the west is full of splendor."

So, there are many ways to go to Xiaoxihu. You can go back and forth one day to see its mountains and swim its water. You can also spend a day in a down-to-earth way, enjoy the bright moon in the mountains, and feel nostalgic ...

Recommended play

Take a tour of the lake: go up the mountain and enter the water

If you choose a one-day tour of Xiaoxihu, you will naturally save as much time as possible on the journey, so it is recommended to take Badaling Expressway. That is, from Madian Bridge to Badaling Expressway, after going straight to Xiguan roundabout in Changping, get off the expressway (the toll is RMB 15) and continue straight to the direction of the Ming Tombs; Look at the sign at Changling intersection and turn right to Jiuduhe (Heishanzhai); Go straight all the way, see a T-junction, turn left to Huanghuacheng (turn right is Yinshan Tallinn); Not far ahead, see a T-junction and turn left (turn right is Huairou). There is a Sinopec Huairou Jiuduhe gas station at the intersection. Arrive in huanghua town, see a Y-shaped fork and turn left to Mutianyu; Out of huanghua town, the Great Wall at the top of the mountain on the right can be vaguely recognized in the open area; Then arrive at the fork of Huanghuacheng Road, turn left and enter Xiaoxihu Natural Scenic Area (turn right is Huanghualing Great Wall).

Today's Little West Lake is not like the wild scenery a few years ago, but it is managed by a special person. The advantage is that there are more recreational facilities in the scenic area that were not available before, such as folk villages, such as boating in the lake; On the other hand, there is an extra ticket expenditure of 16 yuan per person and an admission fee of 11 yuan per car.

cars that have paid the admission fee can drive to the dam, which is convenient for climbing and going to the chartering dock. Climbing here is really a bit wild. The mountain road is rugged and narrow, and you often have to cross a wooden bridge that seems to be in disrepair or a wobbly cable bridge. Every time I look down with difficulty, I see the beautiful lake, and the gloomy mountains are in it.

if you are tired, just go down the mountain and take a speedboat v on the dam. The cost is RMB 1.5/person. You can talk about RMB 1/person, and go directly to the innermost beach of Xiaoxihu Lake. The so-called beach is a peninsula in the middle of the lake, with a pergola for drinking tea and a food shop to satisfy hunger.

Enjoy the lake carefully: have a picnic and sleep out

Because I want to stay in Xiaoxihu for a day, I feel that I have a lot of time at once, so I can choose to take this dusty path away from the high speed. From the Asian Games Village, via lishuiqiao, to the Daliushu roundabout (around the roundabout, the willow branches are really well-deserved, hanging low and swaying gently with the wind), head for Shangzhuang, Changping, and drive all the way to Jiuduhe after Xingshou. When you arrive at Jiuduhe gas station, you can meet colleagues who take Badaling Expressway and go to Xiaoxihu Natural Scenic Area. This route has beautiful scenery, and there are many picking orchards along the way. A person can spend about 21 yuan to pick in the garden. Lazy people can buy some fresh fruits from trees at roadside stalls, including pears, peaches and walnuts, a specialty here.

Similarly, because of the abundant time, the taste of Xiaoxihu can be more detailed. To climb a mountain, you can take another road, along the Wild Great Wall, all the way, and the final destination is the end of that section of water.

or, 25 yuan can rent a paddle boat (bargain) and row across the bridge, across the Great Wall, across the small island in the middle of the lake ... The water in the lake is clear, the sky is white, the trees in the mountains are lush, and the scenery is wonderful.

There is also a hundred acres of Daming Ancient Chestnut Garden in the scenic area, which is another scenic spot in Xishuiyu Natural Scenic Area. The soldiers guarding the city in the Ming Dynasty worked hard to cultivate Daming Chestnut. Such a large area of Daming Chestnut Garden can be described as a unique cultural spectacle in the suburbs of Beijing.

Accommodation recommendation:

The most attractive way to spend the night is to bring your own tent, find a spacious open space by the lake and at the foot of the mountain, and set up camp. I eat my own light meals, sandwiches are full, fruit platters are "searched" on the road, and canned food, which is usually ignored, has also become delicious in the world here and now.

If you choose this camping method, you must bring a few things: sleeping bags, damp-proof mats, hammocks, flashlights, anti-mosquito drugs ...

Of course, there are also worry-free ways-staying in Xiaoxihu Leisure Villa, with modern internal facilities and farmhouse style, comfortable rooms, delicious meals, martial arts, literature and folk performances, etc.

hehe.
