Ma Tian Ling丨Hiding in Hebei's 'Little Switzerland'

🚗【Travel Mode】: Self-driving is the best choice. It takes about 50 minutes to drive from Hanting Hotel in Yu County. 💡Tips: If you depart from Hanting Hotel, driving directly is simple and quick. 📍【Location Guide】: Just enter 'Ma Tian Ling Village' in the navigation, and the destination will be clearly visible. 💡Reminder: The specific location of Beigou may not be displayed on the navigation, but don't worry, follow the navigation to Ma Tian Ling, and you will naturally find the entrance to Beigou upon arrival. There are also photos guiding you at the village entrance, making parking easy and clear. 🎫【Entrance Fee】: Completely free, no fees required. 😋There are stalls selling fresh watermelons at the entrance, reasonably priced at five yuan per box. I bought a quarter of a watermelon, two boxes for only six yuan, enjoying it while walking, sweet to the heart! 🗺【Hiking Adventure】: We chose a relaxed small loop, which is easy to enjoy even with kids! ✅Following the crowd is also a good choice. There's strength in numbers, and following the main group is worry-free and effortless. ✅Recommended Route: For families with kids, Route A is the best choice! The whole journey takes about five hours, with plenty of stops and endless fun. 🚧【Pitfall Avoidance Tips】 ✅Initially worried about the crowd affecting photos, but upon arrival, we found the space large enough to easily find a spot without people and take great photos! ⚠Note: The small loop starts from Beigou and exits from Nangou. Returning to Beigou requires walking a section of the mountain road, which may take some time. We recommend planning ahead. We took a taxi from the Nangou exit back to the Beigou parking spot, costing 40 yuan and taking about ten minutes. ⚠During the hike, there are wooden signposts every so often. The small loop has three very conspicuous ones. I also marked them on my hand-drawn map. Finding them means you're on the right track! In the forest section, there are also red ribbons hanging on branches. Follow them, and you won't go wrong! ⚠Entering the forest may cause signal loss, making it easy to lose direction, but as long as you keep moving forward, you'll see the signposts. ⚠The weather forecast may not be accurate. On our day, it forecasted heavy rain, but it only rained for a short period, adding to the natural beauty. Remember to bring a raincoat, as it may suddenly rain locally. 👀【Personal Experience】 This trip was super stress-relieving! We walked nearly 20,000 steps but didn't feel particularly tired, instead feeling very refreshed! We casually sat on a piece of grass, looking around, as if in a dream. Closing and reopening my eyes, I found— Fortunately, the dream continued, it was so wonderful!😃
