[Liupanshui Four-Day Itinerary] Mentougou Lingshan, the highest peak in Beijing

pAfter staying in the hustle and bustle of Beijing for a long time, I drove west and hid in the paradise called Lingshan. Mentougou, located west of Beijing, is characterized by majestic and rolling mountains. The imposing peaks are arranged from northwest to southeast and rise to the west of Beijing. This is why the Mentougou district is called “the natural barrier to the west of the capital”.

(Farm in Lingshan.) Lingshan Natural Scenic Area is located in the northwest of Ximentougou, Beijing, 122 kilometers from Beijing. The highest peak is 2,302 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in Beijing. . It is adjacent to Xilongmen Forest Park; connected to East Longmen Creek Scenic Area and South National Highway 109; Due to its high altitude, Lingshan has formed a scenic natural area integrating fault mountains and fold mountains on a supearea of ​​25 square kilometers, with beautiful peaks and lush flowers. The climate here is unique, with snow and ice in winter, blooming flowers and plants in spring, green fields in summer and wild fruits in autumn. Lingshan's 3,000 acres of grassland and 5,000 acres of forests provide you with a green world, allowing you to escape Beijing and return to nature. If you go to Lingshan Mountain during alternating climate seasons, the dense clouds and water vapor will make the mountain peaks appear, making it more isolated than on a sunny day. You will feel like a mountain when you look at it from afar. or closely. When you walk through Lingshan Canyon, you can feel the "spiritual energy" of Lingshan up close.

(Flower Hillside) Lingshan has both warm temperate vegetation and related Siberian cold zone vegetation. LRhododendrons, lilacs, birches, hazels, goldenrods, roses, nasturtiums, wild leeks and other plants grow mainly in alpine meadows. Thousands of competing flowers were embedded in the carpet like thick velvet. Therefore, it is the only natural breeding ground for Xinjiang fine-wool sheep, Yili horses and Qinghai-Tibetan yaks in Beijing, and it is also a paradise for wild animals. Play Lingshan

2. Mentougou Lingshan Alpine Ski Festival in Beijing (December). 3) Weather overview

The frost period in Lingshan is short, and the climate changes of the four seasons are quite different from those in Beijing, showing a unique climate with short spring and autumn and short winter and been long. The daily temperature differs from that of Beijing by 10 to 12 degrees Celsius.

Be prepared with heavy clothing and rain gear when going to Lingshan insummer. You can feel a unique coolness in Lingshan in summer, but because the temperature in the mountains is low and the temperature difference between it and the city is large, it is better to wear more clothes. It is especially good to visit Lingshan in winter or late autumn, when thick green meadows cover the hillside.
