The northern region of the Beijing Municipality is full of mountains, and so the famous Great Wall of China is also located in the Northern Region of the city. There are several districts that are in the Northern Beijing, and these districts are the largest ones among all the districts. One of the most visited Great Wall is located in the Huairou district. And just a few kilometres away from the Great Wall, you can find these beautiful scenarios between the Shantangyucun and Guandicun Villages. This is a QiHe riverside mountain trail scenic area that is open for free for hiking, and people enjoy different types of activities in this area. As a nature lover, this place is full of natural beauty with the surrounding mountains, rivers, and countryside that is rarely seen in other natural scenic areas in the region.
This place reminds me that Huairou is a place of natural beauty, and if you have the thirst for exploring new places with immense beauty, you can find so many of such beautiful places here and there in this district. The mountain northern region is the most attractive place, according to my experience for the last couple of years of travelling throughout the district. Wherever you travel in this district, you will find a handful of scenic areas in every other kilometre in the northern area, and you will love exploring that beauty without any hesitation.
Alongside the hiking trail, you can find many fancy restaurants which are located by the QiHe riverbanks which can a e great place for enjoying launch or dinner with the breathtaking surrounding beauty. For note, these restaurants are usually more expensive due to the location in this difficult location with such amazing beauty as they had to maintain extra cleaniliness tomake sure these are not damaging the natural environment of this place.
I have visited the scenic area recently in the summer season last month whent he summer was at its peak and the greenliness in the surrounding area was killing with the deep color of the leaves and the plants which are abundant in this area. The reflection of the green leaves are making the river water full of green that made the views a different one with the beauty of the amazing landscape.
The trail alongside the river is very enjoying but many parts of the trail is with the riverside mountains as the river is in middle of the valleys as both side of the river is full of different mountains that creates eye-catching scenarios. The good thing is that the whole area is easily accessible as the opposite side of the hiking trail there is the road that makes the area accessible to very deeper region in the mountains with all the necessary commodities available in this area like the light snacks and water bottles. But they are over price when I asked a water bottol price, they charge 10 RMB which is rarely more than 2 RMB in any shops in the normal are.
The water flow of the river is not so high but at different location you can here the sound of the water flow when it is falling from the mountains of the up stream. The whole river is full of stones and you can feel the crystal clear water for the surface that is full of stones. In some areas where people doing fishing and some other activity you can see the empty space without stones as they are moved to other place as naturally these stones are uniformly distributed over this area.
In conclusion, I can say that this natural beauty hub is a place of scenren views and enjoyingthe hiking in the deeper nature which is also very safe as the area is easily accessible by the road so at any emergencies, you are free of any unwanted rouble. It made a great bridge between the human civilization and the pure nature that are standing with a unifying force in this area. The overall area is so large that I ahve not completed the my trip there I will go there again for entering the more deepe section of the hiking trail on the mountains part.
