It’s already the best time to watch the red leaves in Xiaogoumen! Recently, there are fewer people during holidays. The horn ditch gate has become a good place to enjoy the autumn and take photos. During the National Day holiday, my friends and I drove to Laogoumen to enjoy the red leaves. Weather

It was raining in downtown Beijing when we went there. Fortunately, the weather turned cloudy when we arrived in Huairou. It still feels a bit cold in the mountains, the temperature is only about ten degrees Celsius. It's best for everyone to wear more clothes. Transportation

The place is a bit remote. It is recommended that if you don’t have a car, you can rent a car. It feels quite cost-effective. You can rent a car from Shenzhou or enjoy a car with gofun*. Fight all the way, 140 kilometers away from downtown Beijing, basically 3 hours to get there!

Tickets:

40 yuan/person, 20/person for students.

Parking lot:

Cars can only be parked in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain and cannot be driven up. Free parking!

Scenic spots:

There are mainly 4 scenic spots, birch forest, maple leaf forest, black grotto, and South Monkey Summit!

How to play:< /p>

Shuttle bus or hiking! Travel guide

1. Ferry bus, 30 yuan/person one way, 50 yuan/person round trip.

The scenic spot is very considerate. The bus going up the mountain is a small hollow bus, and you can get off at each small scenic spot. Basically we were climbing mountains along the way.

2. Hiking, 2 kilometers to the birch forest, 3 kilometers to the maple leaf forest, 4 kilometers to the Black Grottoes, and 5 kilometers to the South Houding!

In fact, there are also straight-line distances , it will still take some more time.

We walked directly up the mountain. The straight-line distance on the map was not that far, but in fact we walked quite a bit.

When I arrived at the viewing platform of the birch forest, I felt like I couldn’t climb anymore! The road to climb the mountain is also a wild road, with moist air, biting cold wind, and slippery dirt road, which is a unique experience!

We still encountered many places suitable for taking pictures along the way, and there were roads with corners. , there are rugged mountain roads, corners with large leaves, and unnamed pools! There are few people, and you can make any concave shape you want!

Later, we stopped directly at the viewing platform of the birch forest. The scenery was Really good. You can still choose the shuttle bus when going down the mountain. Climbing the entire mountain is really tiring.

Food: There is really no good food nearby. We can find food at the farmhouse in Diaogou Town. Not to mention how unpalatable it is, everyone should bring their own dry food for the picnic!
