Summer Hiking | The Colorful Beach is so beautiful! Let's go, time to climb the mountain and fight the monsters
🍃Summer is a great season for hiking, and more people are setting out. Walking on the road, especially through the mountains and by the water, always makes one long for such a life, simple and carefree, as if everything can be put aside for a moment.
·
🌈Choosing Shilin Gorge for its colorful pools, UFO glass walkway, small animal park, is also very suitable for short hikes and climbing
·
📝Several ways to reach the mountaintop: Hiking + Climbing (mainly flat paths and steps)
☑️Two types of cable cars: A
From the starting point, take the cable car to the middle of the mountain + climb for about 30 minutes, the steps on the way up are quite narrow, which can induce a fear of heights, but it's not particularly strenuous and very safe. This part of the journey is quite worthwhile. Getting off the cable car, there's a viewing platform which is also a resting spot, having reached 3/4 of the way, the higher you climb, the more beautiful and pleasant the scenery becomes, with a great visual experience from afar.
·
☑️Cable car B:
From the entrance, walk about 3 kilometers, mainly on flat paths, with a higher set of stairs in the middle, choose carefully if you have leg issues, it takes about 40 minutes to reach the colorful pools, then walk another 15 minutes to the cable car (Note: This cable car goes directly to the mountaintop UFO without the need for further climbing)
·
🚶♀️Hiking:
Taking myself as an example, it took 1 and a half hours from the bottom to the top of the mountain, resting for a while at the colorful pools.
·
▶️The scenery on the way up the mountain is beautiful, passing several landmarks (Shilin Waterfall, Lover's Valley, Cool Small World, Sky Ladder, Shilin Mountain) and there are also deciduous forests along the way, as if you are in an autumn scene.
·
🧗♀️The climbing sections are mainly flat paths and steps, with several viewing platforms as resting spots. Go light! It's not difficult.
·
▶️Must visit the UFO at the mountaintop, the largest suspended UFO spans 32.8 meters and is worth experiencing. Those with a fear of heights need not worry, just don't look down and nothing will happen, walking on the UFO glass walkway you'll be greeted by aliens ahead, some say there's a feeling of weightlessness, probably just psychological panic!
▶️When descending the mountain, you can choose the cable car, the route is the same as going up. If you didn't make it to the colorful pools on the way up, you can walk down the mountain to reach them, and if you get tired on the way, you can also take the cable car down.
·
▶️After coming down the mountain, there's a small animal park at the entrance, and there's also a local market at the parking lot, with some mountain goods, and Pinggu's canned peaches are just too sweet, 15 yuan for two cans!

🎫Ticket: 40 (off-season)
🗺UFO: 30
🛵Cable car: One-way 100 RMB, round-trip 200 RMB

🌻Walking on the mountain paths, you can clearly smell the scent of summer, with a hint of flowers and fresh grass. Little do we know, such precious good times are especially valuable.
There are several parking lots, which is very convenient. I bought a package ticket, and there are scenery along the way, the brook is gurgling, the autumn wind is rustling, the colored stones are also repaired, and the cable car goes up and down. Overall, it is quite convenient
The scenery is beautiful, the climate is pleasant, the service is friendly, the safety is thoughtful, there are amusement facilities, suitable for children and the elderly, the whole family, there are not many steps, and the path is relatively flat. It is worth visiting many times.
It's my first time to go back to Beijing after so many years. It was a foreigner who found me and took me there. Haha. The scenery is great and there are few people. However, you still have to pay attention to avoiding the heat when you climb up in summer. There is also a section of climbing to go up and down the mountain by cable car. It may be a bit difficult for the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet. I also went to the nearby stalactites.
The first time I saw the photos of Shilinxia, I was attracted to it. Before going to Shilinxia, I was still hesitant about whether to travel by bus. My classmates recommended the Duyou Bus Through Bus. After the experience, I felt that it was better to go by the Duyou Bus Through Bus, which saved effort and worry. Their staff also helped to issue various tickets. The price will also be more cost-effective. 🧡What you need to know before traveling: There is a long mountain road in the scenic area that needs to be walked, and you can't avoid it even if you take the cable car. It is not recommended to bring too young babies and the elderly to visit. If you are a mountaineering enthusiast, this place is perfect for you. 🧡If you are a baby who lacks exercise, you must read the following recommended worthwhile tour routes: 🧡1. Seven-color Pool, I believe everyone is attracted by this Seven-color Pool. This is really beautiful, combining the waterfalls and water of natural landscapes and the artificial love glass viewing platform, which is very good for taking pictures. 🧡2. UFO glass viewing platform, you can see this viewing platform from a distance at the foot of the mountain, it is still very spectacular. The viewing platform consists of a circular platform and a straight plank road, and you can see everything under your feet. Children who are afraid of heights should be careful when entering. Hahaha. 🧡3. Jungle path, a secret place found on the way down the mountain, with gurgling mountain streams, icy spring water, clear and cold, and surrounded by green shade all the way, it is super cool. It is highly recommended whether children play in the water or take pictures. 🧡Recommended tour route! Route 1: Enter the park, 1000 meters to reach [Seven Color Stone], 150 meters to take the Longwang Mountain Cableway, 170 meters to reach [UFO Observation Deck] Route 2: Enter the park, take the Ruyiyuan Cableway, 400 meters to reach [UFO Observation Deck], 70 meters to take the Longwang Mountain Cableway, 150 meters to reach [Seven Color Pool] 🧡We took Route 2! The most difficult section is the mountain road from the cableway station to the [UFO Observation Deck]. Some sections are very steep and it will be more difficult to climb the mountain, but it is still safer than going down the mountain. !The most beautiful section is after going down the mountain from [Seven Color Pool], after going down a section of the ladder, the whole way is full of beautiful scenery of giant rocks, strange forests and gurgling water. 🧡Other TIPS: 1. It is recommended to wear light clothes and shoes. If you need to climb the mountain road, you can bring a water gun and play in the mountain stream. 2. We booked the Duyou bus and tickets one day in advance. The next day, we got on the bus at Exit C of Liangmaqiao Subway Station, and then took the entire highway to Shilinxia Scenic Area. After arriving at Shilinxia, Xiao Gao told us about the fun and precautions. He told us to pay attention to safety. After that, we started to play by ourselves. This is more free and good. Back to the city. On the way, some friends asked Xiao Gao questions, and she answered them patiently, which was good. I recommend the Duyou bus, the service is great, and there is no extra consumption. It's very worry-free. 3. Bring some food and water, and bring more of your favorite food hahahaha. It's still very happy to eat in a natural environment. And in summer, you need sun protection, hats, etc. In the current situation, it would be better for Beijing to choose a tour in the suburbs. Relax while ensuring safety.
1. Transportation: Book a direct bus from Mubus. There are staff on the bus who can directly buy various tickets. There is no need to make an appointment in advance or go to other platforms to buy. I found that buying tickets directly from the staff is cheaper than on some platforms. The round-trip cable car on the bus is only 150 yuan/person, while it costs 200 yuan if you buy it at the window. And if you buy tickets from the bus, tickets to the UFO viewing platform are free of charge on Mubus, so it’s another 40 yuan discount per person. 2. Eating: It is recommended to bring more food and water with you! Bring some staple foods, fruits and snacks with you, as climbing a mountain requires physical strength! During the halftime break, you can replenish some energy! I even saw someone bring in crawfish! ! Greedy, huh. You can bring water or buy it on site. There is basically no place to buy food in the scenic area, only very simple food, so it is better to bring your own. Please note that there is a small stall in the parking lot where mineral water is only 2 yuan a bottle. It is recommended to buy a few bottles here. 2-3 bottles of water are enough for one person to climb to the top of the mountain. Less than 500 meters away, at the stall at the entrance of the scenic area, mineral water costs 5 yuan. There was no place to spend money along the way, and a bottle of water cost 15 yuan at the top of the mountain. 3 Pay attention to sun protection: Sun protection is the first priority no matter where you go in summer. It is recommended to wear sun-protective clothing or a hat that is not easily blown away by the wind, and apply sunscreen. It is not recommended to use an umbrella, as you need to hold the handrails when climbing, and you cannot free your hands at all. The temperature in the mountains is low and there is water, so it is very cool. But it was very hot during the climb. 4 Tour route: It is recommended to walk directly to the Seven-Colored Pool after entering the gate of the scenic area. That section of the mountain road is very flat, and children and the elderly will not feel too tired. When you arrive at the Seven-Colored Pool, check in and take a photo. This is an artificial landscape built last year. Although it is man-made, it can make us feel like we are in a small Jiuzhaigou. The shapes of the pools are also different, and the reflected water colors are different, which is quite interesting. Continuing the journey, after passing the ladder, we came to the first section of the cableway, Longwangshan Cableway, which is a section of cableway in the mountains. It is fully enclosed and has a high safety factor. At the top of the mountain, walk 50 meters to the UFO viewing platform. Climbing onto the platform, you can regain a rare heartbeat feeling. When going down the mountain, you can choose to take the cableway or walk. You can see the three wonders of the stone forest first. If you take the cableway down, it is not far from the entrance of the scenic area. If you feel tired while climbing the whole mountain, you can walk around and play in the places with more concentrated scenery in the front. As for the mountain climbing part in the back, it is better to walk for a while and stop for a while, take a cable car, slow down the pace, it will be more comfortable, save time, and enjoy a short period of relaxation.
The ticket window of the scenic spot is fake 78 yuan per person. You can buy 65 people online. Remember to bring enough water. After entering the scenic area, a small section of road will appear bifurcation intersection, are all mountain routes, I suggest that the road is steeper and then shorter, this section of road is all step roads, may take a little effort to climb to the top of the mountain. Don't take the cable car, or it won't make sense. About two hours to the top of the mountain, to see the glass viewing platform. The way down the hill is relatively far away, but the road is flat, there are not too many steps, which can save energy. There are other sceneries, you can enjoy while walking. Old people and children strongly recommend not to go to the hill! ___________
Units organize autumn outings, selected here. Scenic area is relatively large, you can take a large circle, you can also take a small circle. The waterfall is said to be man-made, with water pumped. There are many game links designed in the scenic area, which are more interesting. Because of the limited time, I did not go to the top of the mountain to see the drum. There were entertainment facilities, restaurants and local specialties under the mountain. It is more suitable for exercise.
Shilin Gorge is located in Pinggu District, more than 700 meters above sea level. It is organized by outdoor groups. The vegetation is flourishing. It will not be very hot in summer. It is still fun to have mountains and rivers. There is a ropeway on the top of the mountain, lazy people can take the ropeway, 150 commutes on weekends, 100 on weekdays, 10 yuan on the glass platform on the top of the mountain, transparent and frightening... Bold can try ~~The timid stroll mountain is good!
