Time was a bit tight, so I chose to take the forest train, shuttle through the jungle, and finally arrived at Heilongtan, where I could play in the water. It was a bit cold in autumn, and it would be better in summer.

During the National Day holiday, I went from the south of Beijing. There were no crowds like other scenic spots, which was quite nice. But to be honest, the small train and boat are not really necessary. The train takes about 5 minutes, which is super slow. If it is spring, it is nice to be able to look at the sea of flowers, but in other seasons, it is really average. If you don’t take the boat or the small train, it will take less than half an hour to walk there by yourself, unlike the ticket seller who said it takes more than 50 minutes. I tried rafting on the top of the mountain, which was not bad. The chestnuts in the chestnut garden were almost all picked, but there were large chestnut trees, and it was nice to drink and chat under the trees. The hotel we stayed in was near the west gate of the scenic area, only a five-minute walk away. There were few people and the price was reasonable.

If you're heading to the P3 parking lot, hiking is recommended. The lakeside plank path is located on the right side of the P3 parking lot entrance (east gate). Going straight past the dam, you can take a boat tour, a cable car, and visit the Ming Dynasty Great Wall. Nearly all other attractions are more conveniently located on the west side, including the glass bridge, the Great Wall water entry, the magnetic slide, and the Chestnut Tree King.

[View] In early April, there are still a lot of flowers, the lake color is very beautiful, and the flowers on the hillside are not monotonous. [Fun] There are many small projects in the scenic area, such as ziplines, boating, rafting, and small trains. Young people can walk completely on foot, climbing the Great Wall is still a bit tired, but there are many routes to choose from; there are elderly and children can take transportation, and there are many places to rest in the scenic area.
