Lingshan

Nowadays, the distance between urbanites and nature is getting farther and farther, but the inner call for integration with nature has never stopped. In fact, every weekend, about three or five friends, find a beautiful treasure, set up a tent on the grass or bare soil, and smell the fragrance of soil and green grass, you will suddenly feel a deep return and comfort.

Emperor Mountain Scenic Area

Emperor Mountain Natural Scenic Area is located at the junction of Yanqing County and Huailai County in Hebei Province, which should be regarded as one of the best and easiest campsites in the suburbs of Beijing. Emperor Mountain Scenic Area, also known as Wudaohu Grottoes, is 3 kilometers east of Badaling Great Wall and only 1 kilometer away from the famous Guyaju Caves Grottoes in Yanqing County, with a total area of 5 square kilometers.

Camp Grottoes Site

Tickets for scenic spots in p>2 yuan can be a little cheaper if there are many people, or you can go over mountains to enter the scenic spots, but you need to walk

Usually, the campsite is located in the original main hall. Because it is located at the top of the grottoes, it has an excellent view and good air circulation. About five or six tents can be set up, and tents can be arranged inside. On the one hand, there is a grotto roof to keep out the wind and rain, on the other hand, there is enough space for about 1 people to move. There is no special requirement for waterproof and wind-resistant performance of tents when camping in Emperor Mountain. However, since we are camping on hard ground, we need tents that can stand on their own feet, and tents that cannot stand on their own feet, such as tunnel tents, will be sent away.

Of course, if you are interested, there are many ready-made stone houses here. In theory, you can bring bedding. In the evening, it is a good place to enjoy the moon and watch the stars. After cleaning up the camp, you can visit Wuyun Cave in Houshan, where there is a large-scale ancient manually excavated cave group with bedrooms, kitchens, halls and cloisters.

There is also a clear spring at the entrance of the grottoes, which can be drunk in all seasons. However, considering hygiene factors, it is recommended to boil or at least filter with a water purifier before drinking. As the spring water is not mobile, please take water away from it as far as possible to avoid polluting the water source.

In fact, camping is not just sleeping somewhere else. One of its pleasures is to have a picnic outdoors. In the cave camp of Emperor Mountain, you can not only enjoy delicious food at home, but also enjoy things that are inconvenient to do at home, such as BBQ. While basking in the sun outside the main hall, make yourself a pot of green tea and rinse meat around the stove. If you bring an oven and an iron plate, then all kinds of barbecues and teppanyaki are not a problem.

Travel Tips

Self-driving: Take the exit of Yanqing County at Badaling Expressway, then go to Yanqing County, and then to Shi Jinglong Ski Resort.

Sleeping in Xihekou

Xiaowutai Mountain Xijin Hekou Scenic Area

Xiaowutai Mountain Forest Park is located in Yuxian County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, and is the most famous outdoor resort around Beijing. The nature reserve has beautiful scenery, many hiking routes with different difficulties, and many very suitable campsites. The two camps in Xijin River Mouth Scenic Area are the easiest to reach. The nearest one is near Tallinn, about an hour's walk from the entrance of the scenic spot. However, due to the crowded and chaotic reconstruction of Jinhe Temple in recent years, 15 camp (named after its altitude of about 15m) is recommended. It is flat and open, close to the water source, and there are few tourists coming and going, which is very suitable for camping. If you carry a lot of materials, you can hire a donkey to carry a backpack at the mouth of Xijin River.

after you settle down in the campsite, you can look around. Xiaowutai Mountain is also a famous Buddhist shrine in the north. As early as the Tang Dynasty, monks gathered here. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large number of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples were rebuilt and built. Although many of them have been destroyed by historical vicissitudes, their cultural charm still exists.

Zhazhai by Youcun

Youzhou Gorge, the best camping site in Beijing

Youzhou Gorge, located in Hebei Province, is also called Guanting Gorge and Yongding River Gorge. It starts from Guanting Reservoir Dam in the north and reaches Yanhe City in Mentougou District in the south. There are mountains on both sides of the canyon, and the huge rocks have naturally weathered. At the bottom of the canyon is the Pentium Yongding River.

Youzhou Gorge was once an important northwest passage to Beijing, and the once prosperous official road is now very quiet. You can see a wide beach in the canyon, with flat terrain and clear sea water, which is very suitable for camping, picnics and bonfire parties. There are many places to camp here, and donkey friends usually choose to camp in a small forest near Youzhou Village. It's on the road from Laozhuangwo to Yanhe City. It is easy to find. Because it is not far from Youzhou Village, if necessary, you can go to the village to buy some drinks, water and food, but the choices are limited.

In particular, the river in Youzhou Gorge is the upper reaches of Yongding River, which is connected with Guanting Reservoir. Water will be discharged twice every day at noon and at night, when the water level will rise obviously. So pay special attention to safety when playing by the river. There is an insect called horsefly nearby, which is very painful and red, and it is difficult to get rid of it. If you go in summer, you must pay attention to carrying drugs to repel insects and relieve itching.

There are more than 1 families in Youcun, and the houses in the village still maintain their old style, which is worth seeing. Local residents mainly raise sheep and plant fruit trees. Especially in autumn, it is a good place to pick red dates.

Youzhou Canyon is also one of the classic main hiking routes around Beijing. Of course, if you don't want to hike, it is also a good choice to go camping near Youzhou Village directly. The city is about 15 kilometers away from Youzhou along the river and is the fortress of Yongding River Canyon in Ming Dynasty. The city is about 1 square meters along the river, and still has intact city walls and west towers. The house in the yard and the old gatehouse are exquisite. There are three well-preserved enemy towers outside the river, guarding the Yangou exit in the west of the city.

camping equipment and precautions

equipment

tent: the most important equipment for camping is a tent. Generally, the requirements for tents in spring, summer and autumn are not high, and double-decker tents can meet the requirements. However, when choosing a tent, we should pay attention to several points: First, it is waterproof, and it is inevitable to encounter wind and rain when going out. Therefore, when choosing a tent, we must pay attention to check the waterproof performance of the outer fabric of the tent, and all joints should be glued and waterproof.

followed by space and weight. Generally speaking, in order to be comfortable, you can choose a tent with a large space for camping, but if you need to walk a distance to the camp, you should consider whether the weight of the tent can bear it. Of course, there is no such restriction in camps that can be directly reached by car.

Sleeping mat: If you have a home, you must have a bed. Sleeping pad, also known as moisture-proof pad, has the main function of moisture insulation and heat preservation. There are three kinds of common sleeping mats: foam mats, usually made of EVAPE physical foam materials, which are light in weight, cheap and not easy to be damaged. The disadvantage is that it is relatively large and generally more comfortable to sleep; Inflatable cushions, commonly known as air beds and air cushions, have the advantages of good comfort and small storage volume, but have the disadvantages of being bulky, poor in heat preservation and easy to puncture. Self-inflating cushion is actually filled with foam material in the middle of air cushion, and the effect of "self-inflating" is realized by using the resilience of foam material. Of course, it takes a few more breaths to fully fill it. Self-inflating cushions are light, comfortable and small in storage volume, but the price is relatively high.

sleeping bag: as the name implies, it is a sleeping bag. According to the different thermal insulation materials, there are generally down and fiber cotton. Safety of downlink sl
