Beijing Lightweight Hiking| Experience the beauty of Dongling Mountain on foot

| Experience the beauty of Dongling Mountain on foot. 🚶Hiking starting point, Kongjian Village, Zhuolu County, Hebei Province, 140 kilometers away from Beijing city, 2.5 hours by car. 🌅Main Scenery: The snow-covered Ling Mountain in winter is majestic and fascinating. A group of people cross the birch forest, step on the snow and make a crunching sound, the Five Finger Peak in the distance is shrouded in clouds and mist, and occasionally see eagles soaring in the sky. After a short stay at the pass to recharge, continue to slowly advance towards the top of the mountain. After a climb, you see "Dongling Mountain 2303", everyone can't help but cheer... .I have been paying attention to the weather in Dongling for a long time. I saw the forecast of snow a week ago and considered safety factors to join the group. The team originally planned to cross to Jiangshui River, but turned back due to heavy fog and other conditions, and later the highway was unexpectedly closed on the return journey. I was well prepared personally, with warm babies and thermal blankets, and the waterproof performance of the new shoes was verified again. Keeping warm in high-cold areas is very important, bring waterproof storm jackets or raincoats, snow covers and ice claws are very useful for downhill, spare shoes and socks are useful for downhill. 🗺️Hiking Route: .Kongjian Village-Dongling Mountain-Kongjian Village, as a return route. The journey is about 11 kilometers, the height climbs about 1200 meters, mainly snow roads, meadow roads, and stone roads. The difficulty factor is primary (dangerous), and the hiking time is 5 hours. Section description: From Kongjian Village to the pass Mani pile, 4km snow road, stone road, passing ice waterfall, two steep slopes, climbing 800m; .To Dongling Mountain, 2km meadow road, stone road, passing Five Finger Peak, climbing 400m; To Kongjian Village, the original route is returned, the journey is 5km, and the drop is 1200m. 🌟Precautions: 1. The snow on the grass is very slippery, and the climbing stick is convenient for exerting force under the feet; 2. Although the journey is short, it is cold and desolate, like a no-man's land, and needs to fully assess and consider various emergency situations; .3. Should fully assess snow, temperature and wind, the temperature on the day is -5 to -9, breeze 2; 4. It is easy to get lost in heavy fog, be sure to record the track and download the offline map for backup; .5. Learned from experience, follow the footprints of the people in the snow, and it is easy to find the way when returning; .6. Love the environment, don't take anything away except photos, don't leave anything except footprints; .7. The anti-skid of hiking shoes is very important, you can bring a headlight for emergency in case of darkness; 8. Don't walk when taking pictures, don't look at the scenery when walking, pay attention to the safety of your head and feet
