Xishan National Forest Park – Beijing

Escape Beijing’s urban buzz at Xishan National Forest Park, a sprawling green oasis on the city’s western edge. Known for its panoramic views, dense forests, and tranquil hiking trails, this park offers a refreshing dose of nature without the crowds of more famous spots like Fragrant Hills. The highlight? The view from Guijian Stone (鬼见石) at sunset, where you can see Beijing’s skyline framed by rolling mountains. Trails range from leisurely lakeside walks to steep climbs, with options for all fitness levels. Spring brings cherry blossoms, while autumn sets the hills ablaze with red and gold foliage. Though amenities are basic (pack water and snacks), the clean air and serenity make up for it. Weekdays are especially peaceful, while weekends draw local families for picnics. Best for:Hikers, photographers, and anyone craving a quiet nature retreat. Tip:Arrive early to avoid weekend crowds and catch the clearest views. #localguides #familytrip #旅行酷体验 #beijingpark #beijingtravel #beijing #mytripvlog #mytripmoment
