HBBE, in fact, Beijing is so large that there is lots of interesting places to visit, maybe foreigners always visit the famous historical sites, but in my view, there are still other very funny places to go. 2or 3 days are far from enough..hehe

Autumn colours post by :David at 2007-6-2 6:21:24

The falling foliage of autumn delights colour-enthralled tourists and the Fragrant Hills in northwest Beijing is not the only place to watch this autumn's scenery around Beijing can be found anywhere.

According to the Beijing Forestry Bureau, a 230-km belt of red leaves will appear around the outskirts of Beijing, an achievement finally realized by the bureau's "Red Leaves Project," which started in 2000.

The following are suggested places to be captivated by the ever-changing season.

Fragrant Hills

In Beijing, the Fragrant Hills (Xiangshan Park) are still the first choice for tourists who want to enjoy the leaves of autumn, despite the weekend crowds and traffic that are inevitable.

Though the government has made efforts to improve the traffic conditions to the mountain, it is not enough during the peak time from late October to early November.

According to information from Xiangshan Park Administration, 50,000 downtown visitors made their way to the mountain for the red leaves last weekend. Beijing's Tourism Administration suggest that on its best day, the capacity of the mountain park is around 20,000.

Unlike many other places that show off their red leaves, the Fragrant Hills offers lots of ancient Buddhist buildings and historic resorts: the reason why many visitors go there despite the crowds and traffic.

Located 28 kilometres northwest of downtown Beijing, the Fragrant Hills are, as their name indicates, an aromatic area of natural beauty.

The best places to watch the red leaves are at Xiangshan Temple, Banshan Pavilion, and Yuhua Peak. If you're up for it, climb up to Pingtai, Xishan Qingxue, and Shenyuwu for a view of the whole mountain.

For people with children, Shuangqing Villa, Jianxin Hall, and Liuli Pagoda are recommended due to their lower altitude and easy access by road.

Admission: 10 yuan (US$1.20) Other fees are charged at some of the temples.


Chairlift: 30 yuan (US$2.80) per person. Takes you to the summit of the hill; in strong winds, the chairlift does not operate.

Accommodation: It usually takes half a day to visit Fragrant Hills Park. If you want to stay for one night, hotels are available at the foot of the hill.

Getting there: Buses are the easiest transport option because of the special bus lanes en route, and no parking hassles on arrival.

Catch No 333, 318, 360 or 904 from downtown Beijing.

Opening hours: 6 am - 7 pm, daily.
