After entering autumn, Beijing has entered its most beautiful stage, almost every day with light clouds and breeze, and the temperature is also very suitable, especially suitable for going out and playing! Last weekend, my friends and I drove to Yanqing. Apart from the commonly visited Badaling Great Wall, there are actually many interesting places in Yanqing. This time, let me take you to a newly opened park - Yanqing Hanquan Sports Park
My friend is someone who loves cycling very much. He told me that this newly opened park is particularly suitable for cycling and taking photos, and the scenery is also very beautiful. With me, wearing a flowing dress, I also experienced the joy of cycling!

On the day we arrived at Hanquan Sports Park, a cycling competition happened to be held. Upon inquiry, it turned out to be the 10th Beijing International Cycling Conference, where various high-level cyclists from Beijing had arrived. Therefore, many professional cyclists were lined up at the entrance. Today happened to be a sunny day, and it felt like everyone was in high spirits.

This is the starting point of bicycle races! Wishing everyone good grades, let's hurry and go ahead!

Everyone has come, and my friend and two amateur athletes rented a bicycle each to experience it. Although we can't ride like professional athletes, it's also good to enjoy the scenery slowly and leisurely. The cycling roads and runways in Hanquan Sports Park are well maintained, with clear signs indicating how many roads have been ridden. It can be considered a very professional cycling track level, and no wonder it can host a city wide cycling competition.
We have checked and found that the West District Park of Banquan Park, where we are currently located, has professional road cycling tracks of 5 and 10 kilometers per lap, as well as a 33 kilometer hiking and fitness greenway, which can definitely meet the needs of most professional and amateur athletes.

Professional players are here! This professional athlete carrying a big flag is so impressive. If I were to carry such a big flag, I wouldn't be able to step on it. Everyone is very enthusiastic to see us taking photos and saying hello~

We rode and stopped all the way, enjoying the breeze and sunshine. Looking up, you can see the stretching peaks, with lush forests and reed marshes on both sides. The weather in September is just right, making cycling very comfortable.

On the way of cycling, sometimes you can see a winding road that happens to be a mountain. When asked by the staff, it turns out to be the famous Haituo Mountain in Yanqing, which is an outdoor destination for hikers in Beijing, suitable for both cycling and hiking. And Haituoshan has built a ski resort to prepare for the 2022 Winter Olympics.
This winding road paired with Haituo Mountain really gives a feeling of being on a plateau.

The lighting in the nearby small forest is also very good, with rows of poplar trees arranged neatly, which feels very suitable for taking wedding photos. As someone wearing a white dress, let's take a sample first!

The previous second's expression was serious, and the next second's skill will be broken!

Continuing to ride along the track, I suddenly saw a landscape of rice paddies. It is now the golden age of rice, and the golden expanse has spread far into the distance. It is truly beautiful.
Rice is rarely seen in the north, and as a child from the south, I feel a great sense of familiarity when I see this rice field. This rice paddy field has already been drained of water, and the park has also designed ridges for walking in, which can capture the feeling of people being golden in the rice field.

Take pictures of golden autumn in the rice fields.

Placing bicycles in a row by the edge of a field also gives a great sense of ceremony!

The park has also thoughtfully built a boardwalk above the rice paddies, where you can walk up and enjoy the scenery, or combine the rice paddies with the boardwalk to take photos. In the distance, there are also windmills and water mills. With such a combination, the golden rice fields sway gently under the Haituo Mountain, creating a beautiful scene.

There is a wooden resting pavilion next to the rice field, designed as a frame, which is very suitable for internet celebrities to check in. Behind it is the rice field and distant mountains, which capture the beautiful scenery like a picture frame. I believe this place will become a popular check-in spot in the future!

In addition to rice paddies, there are several boardwalks in the park that lead to the depths of the reeds. You can slowly walk in and take a walk. The reeds are still green now, and I believe that after a period of time, they will turn golden and grow reed fluff, which is another super beautiful scenery.

A small pavilion and a secret reed path with a background of Haituo Mountain can capture very immersive photos.

I occasionally see a family of three riding bicycles together in Hanquan Park. The children all have professional bicycles and full body equipment, which makes me so envious! So Hanquan Park can also be considered a good place for families to travel and enjoy parent-child time. I even saw balance bikes and skateboards, and everyone showed off their skills here.

There are also these unnamed purple red flowers in the park that bloom particularly brightly, and it seems that a large area was intentionally planted, resulting in a bright and spectacular display.

That's all for the cycling journey of this day. After the whole trip, I feel that Hanquan Park is also very suitable for picnics and setting up tents. Sitting on the picnic cloth and watching the golden rice fields will definitely be more enjoyable. Friends say that next time I drive, I will come directly for a picnic, bring my skateboard and balance bike, and compete with these children in the park.
Although I was actually a careless cyclist and a serious photographer this day, I was also very happy and satisfied. For those who want to ride seriously, it is recommended to wear sportswear instead of pretending like me haha. If you mainly want to take photos, it is recommended to go directly to the rice field area to ensure that you can take a lot of beautiful photos.

Here are some photography tips for everyone:
If you want to capture the effect of cycling on a large road, you can choose winding roads, character bicycles, and Haituo mountains, which can capture images with particularly good levels. After riding near the rice field, you can also use the rice field as the background to take photos of cars and people.
If you want to take a portrait, you can use telephoto or large aperture shooting in a small forest to make the picture more layered.
If you want to take a portrait of a person in a rice field, you can walk directly to the ridge of the rice field and have the photographer capture the rice field and mountains together, creating a beautiful scene.
Practical guide:
🌟 Hanquan Sports Park, self driving positioned at the West Gate Parking Lot of Hanquan Sports Park in Yanqing, Beijing
🌟 In addition, there is a World Grape Expo Park next to Hanquan Park, which is also during the grape harvest season. Everyone can play on the same day, take sports photos, and eat grapes without any mistakes. Isn't it delicious!
🌟 At present, there are no places to sell food in the park. It is best for everyone to bring their own water and dry food to have a great time.
