During the May Day holiday, do you know which hiking spots in Beijing are highly recommended? If you don’t know, let’s take a look together! You can take advantage of the holiday to go on a trip. Here is a detailed introduction for you!
1、Phoenix Hill
Phoenix Hill Natural Scenic Area is located in Sujiaotuo Town, Haidian District, where the mountains are undulating, the rocks are towering, the ridges are steep and the walls are steep, and there are many temples, among which Longquan Temple and Shifo Temple are the most famous. Walking along the forest path, looking up at the towering ancient trees, breathing fresh air, you can’t help but feel relaxed and happy～
Along the way, you can also experience the steep ladder, with steps close to 90 degrees, only a chain supporting it, a test of courage. After climbing the ladder, continue to climb the mountain. Several pavilions and viewing platforms are excellent vantage points to admire the mountains. With a cluster of mountain flowers embellishing them, they are very spectacular.

2、Eight Great Places Park
Eight Great Places Park is located at the junction of Cuiwei Mountain, Pingpo Mountain, and Lushimountain, the remnants of the Taihang Mountains. The highest peak is 464 meters above sea level, and the climbing intensity is not high. It is called the Eight Great Places because there are eight ancient temples in the scenic area: Changan Temple, Lingguang Temple, Sanshan Temple, Dabei Temple, Longquan Temple, Xiangjie Temple, Baozhu Cave, and Zhengguo Temple.
The temples and gardens of the Eight Great Places Park are very quiet and beautiful, with many peach and apricot blossoms, as well as a huge wish tree. Every spring, there is a constant stream of people coming here to stroll, admire the scenery, climb the mountains and worship Buddha. There are both spring colors and cultural landscapes. As you meander up the mountain road, you can admire the different temple landscapes one by one. Another feature here is the slide and cable car.
