I have been to Beijing many times, and I feel different each time, or the seasons I visit are different. The seasons are clear all year round, and the feeling I visit is different every time. The capital is a city that many people yearn for. This autumn, I brought my luggage to Beijing again, and I happened to encounter autumn full of mountains and red leaves. Autumn in Beijing is different from other places. Autumn here feels that autumn is the most beautiful season.


Few people in the Miyun Sunguang Valley, which is only an hour's drive from Beijing, don't know it, and fewer people come here to play, but the red leaves here are so beautiful. Unfortunately, we went a little late when we went there. Some of the red leaves have already fallen. It would have been great if we went earlier. We would have to wait a year if we missed this one.

Climbing up the mountain and overlooking the entire mountain, the whole mountain is covered with red leaves, and the mountains and plains are covered with forests. It's so beautiful. If you think that the only red leaves in Beijing are Fragrant Hills, you're wrong. This is also a good place to appreciate the red leaves. The key is that there are not many people. It's good to come here for the weekend, and then take a casual look at the red leaves. It's great.

In addition to the red leaves in Beijing this season, the leaves of ginkgo trees on the streets have turned golden. Walking on the streets of Beijing, you can see such a scene within a few steps. Under the blue sky and white clouds, Beijing in autumn becomes more beautiful.


Beijing Miyun Sunshine Valley, the mountains and plains are covered with forests


It takes more than an hour to drive from Beijing to Miyun. It is relatively close to downtown Beijing. When it comes to seeing red leaves in Beijing, the first thing that comes to mind is Beijing's Fragrant Hills. However, going to Xiangshan to see red leaves at this time is simply crowded with people, and it is difficult to drive in by car, so avoid Xiangshan and divert to Miyun. In fact, it is also a very good place to see the red leaves from the top of the Righteous Valley. The key is that there is no sea of people here like Xiangshan. It feels like going to Xiangshan to see the red leaves is like going to see the sea of people.


After arriving at Miyun Valley, the mountains here are not too high. Walking up the wooden plank road leading up the mountain, you can walk slowly one step by one. I feel that climbing the mountain is not so tiring. The main reason is that the mountains here are not high, and the scenery along the way It is beautiful, from green to red, to colorful red leaves blooming all over the mountain, which makes people a little exciting.

Before I came here, I thought that only Xiangshan Mountain in Beijing had red leaves. After I arrived here, I realized that there were such beautiful red leaves in the Riguang Valley. After climbing to the top of the mountain, there is a platform for viewing red leaves. From this viewing platform, you can see Miyun Reservoir and see rolling red leaves from mountains to mountains. In addition to red ones, there are also red leaves of various colors. It is really beautiful to come here to see red leaves in autumn.

Maybe I came a little late and saw that some of the red leaves on the mountain had fallen to the ground. I should have come earlier and it would be more beautiful here. The whole mountain is full of fiery red leaves, and the red leaves are covered in layers of forests. Only the pine trees are still green, and the rest of the green leaves are all red. It is really beautiful. Standing on the observation deck and seeing Miyun Reservoir.

The hillside of Xiashan is full of red red leaves, and the winding road runs from the top of the mountain to the Riguang Valley. The scenery on both sides is very beautiful. Unfortunately, there are fewer red leaves, and the ones that come are not the most open.


Sunguang Valley, a niche tourist destination hidden in Miyun, Beijing


This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is very unique. There are book bars, French restaurants, warm cabins, tents and RV homes. Whether it is a couple, a family of three or a reunion of friends and relatives, you can feel an unexpected surprise and romance. I have never been here before. This time I came here for the first time, and a friend said that you can also see beautiful red leaves here. As expected, I was not disappointed when I came, but I was a little late. If I came earlier, the red leaves would be more beautiful. It would be better if children brought here to play, especially if it was a good choice for a weekend. It was only an hour's drive away from the city center. It was convenient. It was not as noisy as the city, and it added a sense of tranquility. From here on Rainbow Bridge, you will reach the Riya Valley Restaurant, the cabin area.

There are many outdoor playgrounds for children to play here. I think I would like it here with children. The cabin is like a B & B. Families can live in a cabin when traveling. Before coming this time, I booked the cabin here in advance at Tujia B & B, and it felt good.

This is a B & B in Sunshine Valley. I booked it in advance on Tujia. A wooden house can accommodate three people and have three beds. There are two rooms downstairs and two large beds, and there is also one room upstairs. It is a good choice for family travel. The room is warm when the air conditioner is turned on at night.

The room is warm and large, and it is idyllic. The B & B is similar to a hotel. All necessary toiletries are available here. The main reason is that it is very quiet and not as noisy as in the center of Beijing City. It is also a good choice to spend the weekend here. The room has air conditioning and TV, so it's nice for the family to spend the weekend here.

In addition to cabins, Sunlight Valley also has tents. RVs and other accommodation options for residents. The entire park is still relatively large. In autumn, it becomes like another world, and in winter, it will turn into a snowy area. Imagine how beautiful it is. It will be just two months away. This place will become another world again.

The leaves in autumn are slowly turning dark, and there are tent houses by the lake. It is good to sit here and catch fish. There are many places for children to play. For example, this season, you can go to the top of the mountain. Look at the red leaves and ski in winter.

There is also a two-story wooden cabin suite. This kind of room will be larger and has a projector. You can live on the second floor and walk out of the balcony to overlook the fish swimming around in the lake. The surroundings are all golden leaves, making it peaceful and comfortable. You can sleep in the morning. Wake up naturally, listen to the chirping of the birds, and feel the comfort of pastoral life here.


A playground for children in the Sunshine Valley


There is an indoor playground for children just behind the Sunlight Valley Restaurant. Since there are also small animals such as chinchillas and lizards inside, the lively chinchillas people want to climb out as if they want to eat something. They have big ears and look very cute. The lizards are sleeping quietly. If you bring children here, you can bring them here to play. As long as you live in Sunlight Valley, you don't need a ticket. It's free.


There was also a peacock next to the restaurant, but it was closed by a glass door and a peacock was playing inside. Further inside, there is a wooden house like a small stage filled with various children's balls in the evening.

I saw a parent with their children playing with balls and a studio here. Children played with many toys, building blocks, dolls, etc., which can be played here all morning. There are still many projects for children to play with. Bringing children here won't be boring.

Fun go-kart in Sunlight Valley


I didn't expect that there would be go-kart in Nikko Valley, but there would be an extra charge. In a go-kart yard, next to the entrance to the mountain, friends who like to play go-kart are blessed. They can also play go-kart when they come here on vacation. It's good to play go-kart.



Come on vacation and have a meal of Beijing hot pot


The various supporting facilities in Sunguang Valley are quite comprehensive. Of course, you will have delicious food when you come here for a vacation. There are delicious food here, including three meals a day. You can choose according to your own taste. The chicken stewed with mushrooms tastes good. The chicken is tender and smooth and delicious.


In addition to meat, there is also seafood. Steamed scallops with vermicelli tastes good. This is the first time I have eaten this sausage in Beijing. It should be red sausage. It tastes quite delicious. There are also steamed perch and brown sugar steamed buns. Only when I came here did I find that all kinds of delicious food are even better than in the city. Maybe I'm hungry, and my appetite has increased greatly when I come back from climbing the mountain to watch the red smell, haha.

There are many green plants in the small greenhouse in the restaurant. No matter if it is snowing outside in winter, the plants inside are still green. Sitting in the restaurant next to you has a nice view.

It is a good choice to have a pot of pickled cabbage fish hot pot at noon. The temperature outside is a bit low, so eat a hot pot to warm you. These ingredients are provided in the Sunguang Valley Restaurant. The service aunties are also good. They will continue to add some after the hot pot soup is finished. It tastes good. The mutton is tender and smooth, and the chicken is tender.


The leaves of ginkgo trees in urban Beijing have turned golden yellow


Beijing is so beautiful in autumn. Returning to the city center from Miyun the next day, you can see golden ginkgo trees everywhere on the street, and it is beautiful under the blue sky and white clouds. The leaves fell on the green leaves to form a sharp contrast. Autumn is the most beautiful season for ginkgo trees. The leaves were green with yellow at first, then turned yellow-green. In late autumn, the entire tree turned golden. The yellow leaves gave off a dazzling light under the sunlight. A gust of wind blew, and the light danced among the leaves, as if an elf was playing happily.


It's late autumn now, and the autumn wind is like a magician. If you point on the ginkgo tree, the ginkgo leaves will instantly turn golden. When a gust of wind blows, the ginkgo leaves will rise into the sky, like colorful butterflies flying around, and then slowly fall to the ground. When viewed from a distance, they will look like a large golden carpet spread on the ground. It looks particularly beautiful. You can see this beautiful scenery every autumn. If you have the opportunity to come to Beijing, you must not miss this beautiful scenery!

Beijing is beautiful in autumn. In the autumn wind, some leaves seem to want to dance with the wind, so they fly down in circles, like golden butterflies flying around. Some other leaves seem to have not been fully exposed to the sun and just sway slightly on the branches. Take advantage of the weekend to go to Sunguang Valley to see a beautiful red leaf, and take your family to the suburbs of Beijing for a weekend to experience this beautiful autumn. It is another comfortable weekend.
