2 hours from Beijing! A must-visit hidden treasure in autumn

Autumn is truly perfect for visiting Ulanqab·Sumushan Forest Park~ The whole mountain is draped in golden yellow, with layers of pine and birch forests. When the wind blows, leaves fall gently, as if stepping into a moving oil painting 🎨. Standing on the mountaintop, you can see the magnificent scenery where three provinces meet ⛰️. The vastness is truly breathtaking! And the best part is 👉 there are very few people! Even during the National Day Golden Week, places busier than this are far more crowded. This is a truly healing, off-the-beaten-path secret spot~ 🏃‍♀️ Recommended routes ✨ Easy route: Take the shuttle bus up the mountain → hike down (about 2-3 hours), super relaxing with plenty of photo ops~ ✨ Hiking route: Pay 15 yuan for the shuttle bus to the entrance, then hike up and down Bingling Stream (about 4 hours), an incredibly rewarding experience! 🚄 Super convenient transportation 🚄 High-speed rail: Beijing Qinghe Station → Xinghe North Station (1h46min, 117 yuan), then taxi/car rental to the park 🚗 Self-driving: About 3.5 hours, the scenery along the way is very soothing~ Electric vehicles are welcome, with charging stations available 🔋 💰 Cost reference 🎫 Ticket + shuttle bus = 99 yuan/person 📌 Tips It’s windy and cold at the top, remember to bring a thick jacket 🧥 Multiple viewing platforms for great photos 📸 Don’t miss the refreshing small waterfall on the way down! The autumn scenery is the most stunning, but it’s worth visiting in all seasons! Sumushan = beautiful scenery, few people, great for photos ✅ Whether you want to escape the city noise or shoot a set of autumn photos, you can’t miss this place~
