It's OK, not bad. If you haven't been there, it's worth a visit. The scenery is nice. Climbing is a test of physical strength. We climbed to the meadow. Maybe the season was not very good, the scenery we saw was still different from the celebrity pictures, but it felt good to climb up and look into the distance.
🌺As soon as you enter the scenic area, the fresh air hits you, with the fragrance of grass and trees, instantly dispelling the summer heat. Climbing along the winding mountain road, there are lush trees on both sides🌳 Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight shine through the gaps between the branches and leaves, forming patches of light. 🌼 🌺This summer, if you also want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, you might as well come to Baihua Mountain and find your own tranquility and beauty in the meadows and flowers🌼
It takes an hour and a half to drive from the city, and there is a 10-kilometer winding mountain road after getting off the highway. The road condition is good. It takes two hours to climb to the top of the mountain. It is shaded all the way, very cool, and the air is also very good. There are also many little squirrels. It is really a devil.
Weekend, more than 100 kilometers away from Beijing, to drive more than two hours to the foot of the mountain, but the road was smooth, caught up with the sunny day, passed the Zhaitang Town Reservoir, beautiful scenery. There is a parking lot at the foot of the hill. Adult tickets are half-price for 40 children and the parking fee is 10 yuan. When we entered the door, we began to climb the mountains, climb the steps and shade the trees. It was very cool. It takes 2-3 hours to reach the top of the mountain in the meadow, where is a wooden trestle road, and then you can climb the main peak. It is also good to watch the distance in the meadow without climbing the main peak. The best time is to go to the top of the mountain from the end of July to the beginning of August, catch up with the sunny day, the distant Panshan Road is clearly visible, the clouds hang down in the mountains, beautiful. There is no cable car (formerly, now abandoned), from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain about 3600 meters, nearly 7 kilometers back and forth, there is no shop along the way (there is a small shop near the top of the mountain, not far from the mountain to build a hotel), it is recommended to take climbing sticks and diet and skin clothing, apply mosquito-proof medicine, the top of the mountain is only about 22 degrees in summer sunny days.
Starting from the South Fourth Ring Road for two and a half hours to reach the destination, the way is a mountain road, 60 yuan for tickets, 10 yuan for a car, and then more than 30 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. This section of Panshan Road, some sections of the road are relatively narrow, novices must pay attention to safety. This season spends little, there are many kinds of insects along the way. Friends who are afraid of insects can bring some flowers and dew. Most of the roads are shaded. It's very cool under the shade. We didn't travel very fast. We walked two hours before we reached Baimeadow. Hundred meadows are disappointed, only grass. The area is not large, I heard when I went downhill that there is a big meadow across the small meadow. If you don't sell water along the way, you must bring enough water and food. Baihua Mountain is more suitable for friends who like hiking. The air on the mountain is still fresh.
Baihua Mountain meadow, autumn is still beautiful. Before the sun is going to shine, the dark clouds are always rolling past us, thinking that the moment the raindrops are falling, the is projected through the ridge, which gives us a reason to stay and enjoy the stroll of the cloud sea.
The scenery here is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, the scenery here is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, the The scenery here is so beautiful that the scenery here is so beautiful.
It's a bit difficult to drive down Kaipan Mountain Road to the top of the mountain. It will take another hour and a half for the parking lot to go to the meadow. There are shades along the way that do not burn. The mountaintop viewing platform is the big meadow. Walking around the wooden trestle road is not very tired as a whole. Scenic spots can also be visited. The main peak is written in 1991 meters. The higher peak is said to be 2300. Overall, yes.
