Beiling Mountain, also known as Jiushan, is located on the boundary line between Mentougou District of Beijing and Zhangjiakou City of Hebei Province. It is a great spot for outdoor hiking and mountaineering. To the southwest of Beiling Mountain is Donglingshan, the highest peak in Beijing, and to the south you can see Huangcaoliang. So, what is the specific and detailed hiking route of Beiling Mountain?
Hiking Routes
There are many hiking routes to Beiling Mountain. The more mature ones are:
① Tashi Temple – Beiling Mountain Loop;
② Jiulongwa – Beiling Mountain Return Route;
③ Jiulongwa – Beiling Mountain – Huangcaoliang Single Line Crossing;
When planning the route, we felt that Tashi Temple was too far away, and we didn’t want to take the return route, and we couldn’t take the single-line crossing with a long distance between the starting and ending points, so we planned this “Jiulongwa – Beiling Mountain – Duanmugou” single-line crossing route. The starting and ending points of this route are only 10 kilometers apart, and it takes about 25 minutes to drive, so we planned to have two cars to cooperate, one at the starting point and one at the ending point. However, we didn’t expect that there was a railing blocking the road at a small house 6 kilometers away from the ending point on the highway. We had no choice but to park our car there out of the way. In the end, after coming out of the Jiushan Trail, we had to walk another 6 kilometers on the highway.
Notes
① Bring plenty of water, apply sunscreen, and prevent heatstroke in hot weather;
② You will pass the Dujiazhuang checkpoint. It took us only a few minutes to pass through the checkpoint on weekdays, but it may take a long time to queue up on weekends;
③ Walking to Beiling Mountain is leaving Beijing. After I came back, my itinerary card showed Hebei, but it didn’t affect my life in Beijing after returning (provided that I did nucleic acid testing normally according to the regulations);
④ Be sure to protect the environment and take away your garbage;
⑤ This article is only for the record of my personal hiking and sharing and communication of the journey. It is not recommended as a route. Outdoor activities are risky, so be cautious when you go out;
