foreword
2020 is destined to be unforgettable for everyone. Since the beginning of the year, everyone's life has been forced to make changes, and we are no exception. Originally, Shuangshuang resigned in order to see more of the world in the good years. Unexpectedly, the goal of global travel was less than halfway, and the pace of intercommunication in the world temporarily slowed down.
But when the world closes a door for you, it will definitely open another window for you. We are still lucky, because the motherland has 9.6 million square kilometers of land, and there are so many surprises waiting for us to discover. In the spring, we drove around dozens of cities in ten provinces for 80 days. The north is majestic and vast, the west is rough and heroic, the south is beautiful and colorful, and the east is full of vitality. The journey is 12,000 kilometers. I fell in love with the feeling of self-driving in China. .
Although most people may not have the time and energy to spend a few months on a trip, in fact, as long as they have the heart, there are infinite fun in the suburbs of the city. In the late summer and early autumn of the past two years, we will drive to the suburbs of Beijing to discover the wildness beyond the high-rise buildings of the imperial capital.

自驾路线&行程安排
There are so many different styles of scenery above, but they are all in Beijing, and this is only a small part of the scenery in the suburbs of Beijing. Looking at the distribution map of the scenic spots below, one has to feel the size of the imperial capital!
Several districts and counties in the suburbs of Beijing have their own characteristics. For example, the red leaves in Miyun are very beautiful in late autumn, but now at the end of summer, when the mountains are green and the grass is lush, and I want to escape the city to escape the heat, so I chose to explore the northwest route.
D1 Beijing City - Miaofeng Mountain - Cuandixia Village
D2 Cuandixia Village Yixiantian-Hongjing Road-Beijing City
D3 Beijing City - Kangxi Grassland - Yanqing City
D4 Yanqing City District - Baili Landscape Gallery (Luanchi Road)
After driving nearly 700 kilometers in five days, we encountered heavy rain in the first half and experienced rough road conditions in the back. However, Haval Dog has overcome the challenges of various weather and terrain for our new trendy travel companion.
Tips:
1. The scenic spots in the suburbs of Beijing are relatively scattered and far away from the urban area. When there is enough time, they can be played in series with a ring line; but if the time is limited, such as using two or three days to play on weekends and small holidays, they can be divided into different areas, such as ours this time. The itinerary can be split into the west line of Mentougou and Fangshan, and the north line of Yanqing, respectively.
2. Beijing has unlimited numbers on weekends, and there are many people going to the suburbs for fun. You may encounter traffic jams, so try to stagger the weekend peak hours. 3. The road conditions of the main traffic such as expressways and national highways are relatively good, but there will be complex road conditions in mountainous areas and some scenic spots, such as the first-line sky road is relatively potholed, and Hongjing Road has many curves. Fortunately, the 1.5T engine is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch The gearbox, together with the high-strength body of the new structure and the well-supported suspension system, make Haval Dog easy to drive on the rugged mountain roads in the suburbs of Beijing, and can handle continuous corners with ease.
Miaofeng Mountain
Address: North of Miaofengshan Town, Mentougou District, Beijing
Tickets: 40 yuan / person
Self-driving tips: Vehicles cannot enter the scenic spot, but can be parked in the parking lot at the entrance
Miaofeng Mountain is located in Mentougou District, only 50 to 60 kilometers away from downtown Beijing. It is relatively close to the scenic spots in the suburbs of Beijing. It belongs to the Taihang Mountains. The biggest features of the scenic spot are rime and ancient temples. If you come in winter, the mountains and plains covered with snow are very spectacular; although there is no wonder of rime, the temples built in the Liao and Jin Dynasties still attract many believers to worship.
But to be honest, the temple is not very attractive to us, but the scenery along the way is more worth stopping. The main peak of Miaofeng Mountain is 1,291 meters above sea level, so the road spirals up the mountain. Driving the Haval Dog sometimes speeds along the road, and sometimes passes through the shade of trees to change scenery.
You will pass many hidden "scenic spots" on the way. Sometimes it looks like an inconspicuous small dirt road, but when you go deeper, it suddenly becomes clear. The dense forest and creek isolate the noise from the outside world. Whether it is a walk along the water or an outdoor picnic, it is very emotional. .
When we came down from the top of the mountain, it rained heavily on the way, but fortunately, there was a Haval dog to shield us from the wind and rain. Although the bean-sized raindrops hit it, we felt at ease in the car. At this moment, I couldn't help re-examining the naming of the Haval car. After collective voting by netizens around the world, the down-to-earth and popular "Haval Big Dog" was finally determined. It is indeed as loyal and reliable as man's best friend.
Cuandixia Village
When we arrived at the foothold in the evening, the sky was getting dark. Although we were hungry all the way, but when we looked up and saw the starry sky that we had not seen in the city for a long time, all the fatigue seemed to be swept away.
Cuandixia Village is located in Zhaitang Town, Mentougou District, in the western suburbs, at an altitude of 650 meters. In 2009, it was rated as "the most beautiful village in Beijing".
The ancient village was first built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It has a history of more than 500 years. It is the best preserved ancient residential complex. At present, there are more than 70 sets of Ming and Qing courtyards and more than 600 houses. The whole village is built according to the mountain, according to the situation, and the heights are scattered. The upper part of the village and the lower part of the village are separated by a 200-meter-long arc-shaped wall with a height of 20 meters. The front of the village is surrounded by a 170-meter-long arc-shaped wall. The shape of the whole village stays together but the spirit gathers together.
Because it is only more than a hundred kilometers away from Beijing, it attracts many tourists who come to vacation on weekends, and the locals have transformed many ancient courtyards into characteristic dwellings, such as warm courtyard houses, traditional kangs, and small houses full of age. The thing... makes time seem to slow down.
Self-driving tips:
To enter the village, you need to buy tickets for Cuanbai scenic spot at the entrance, 35 yuan per person, including several scenic spots such as Cuandixia, Yixiantian and Baiyu, which can be reached by car, and each scenic spot has a free parking lot.
A ray of sky
Only a three-kilometer drive from Cuandixia Village, which has been peaceful for a long time, there is a strange but familiar wild place - the first line of sky in the west of Beijing. The Huarong Road in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the narrow road encounter in "Tou Ming Zhang" were all filmed here.
In fact, the original name of this place is Xiaobeigou Valley, and the locals also call it Chuandi Ankou. It is integrated with the village, like the neck of a treasure gourd, protecting this small village that escapes the world.
Self-driving tips:
This section of the road is only a few hundred meters long, with different widths and narrow spaces, and there are places where you can miss the car in the middle. You can drive through directly, or you can park your car in the parking lot at the end and return to the walking tour.
On weekends, the traffic flow during the day is relatively large. If you want to stagger the peak, you can go early in the morning or at night. However, there are no mobile phone signals and light sources in the valley, so pay attention to safety.
Hongjing Road
Hongjing Road, also known as Shixia Road, known as "Beijing's 99 Turns", is a mountain road that winds and circles among the lofty mountains of Fangshan District. The continuous curves and the ups and downs of the terrain make Hongjing Road one of the popular check-in places for self-driving and cycling enthusiasts in Beijing and surrounding areas.
Haval Big Dog's mature 1.5T+7-speed dual-clutch power combination coupled with a well-supported suspension system can easily speed up when climbing uphill and when overtaking, and the body roll is not obvious when continuous cornering. The entire chassis Gives a full sense of confidence and security.
Self-driving tips:
Although this area is a road, at the top with the best view, there are multiple parking spaces on the side of the road, so you can stop and take pictures, but you still have to pay attention to safety.
During holidays, there will be a lot of traffic here. It is recommended to choose a weekday or come in the evening. Not only will there be fewer cars and people, but you may also encounter amazing sunsets.
Kangxi Grassland
Address: Next to County Road 017 on the west side of Kangzhuang Town, Yanqing District
Tickets: The official opening is currently suspended, you can ask the staff at the entrance for admission
Self-driving tips:Vehicles can drive directly into the scenic area, but there are animals such as cattle and horses on the pasture, so pay attention to avoiding them safely.
Kangxi Grassland is adjacent to Guanting Reservoir in the west and Haituo Mountain in the north. It has more than 30,000 mu of grassland and is the largest grassland in Beijing. It was originally a popular weekend destination in the suburbs of Beijing. Campfire.
But I don't know if it is because of the epidemic recently, it is temporarily open to the outside world. We also tried our luck with the idea of trying, but luckily we came in. But it is precisely because of the small number of people that you can drive and run wild on the grass. Although Haval Big Dog focuses on urban off-road, it has the blessing of multiple driving modes that can be switched at will, coupled with the high ground clearance of the chassis, allowing us to enjoy a good off-road addiction.
Although it is the end of summer and the grassland is not so lush, it does not hinder the herds of cattle to have fun grazing. Probably because they are used to seeing tourists and are not afraid to approach them. They regard our "Harvard Dog" as a friend. .
In addition to driving a car and galloping on the grassland, horseback riding is also the most unmissable experience here. After all, in the racecourse on weekdays, even the best horses can only circle around in a small space. Here, they In order to truly enjoy the joy of running freely.
Horse riding tips:
There are several ways to get in touch with horses here--
Walking horses, that is, planning horse trails along the grassland for sightseeing, is suitable for ordinary tourists.
Horse racing, also called fast horse, is to ride a horse along the planned horse path, suitable for tourists with certain riding skills.
Horse riding in the field, commonly known as ring horse, is riding on the track of the racetrack. It is suitable for beginners, but it is recommended to come to the prairie, so there is no need to be limited to the racetrack.
As for the price, generally speaking, it is 30 yuan per lap for a horse lap, 100 yuan per hour for a horse walk, and 200 yuan per hour for a horse race.
Baili Landscape Gallery (Luanchi Road)
Baili Shanshui Gallery is located on Luanchi Road, known as one of the most beautiful self-driving roads in the suburbs of Beijing. In fact, it is not a single scenic spot, but a landscape belt composed of twelve nodes in the three districts, because it involves the 112 Li Riverside Ring Road, Hence the name. The whole area includes petrified wood groups, Oolong Canyon, Xiaokunlun Mountain, Shujian Peak, dinosaur footprint fossil remains, marine sedimentary remains and other geological landscapes, dripping pot, Datan Nature Reserve, 1,000 mu of sunflower sea, 10,000 mu of Scutellaria baicalensis tea garden , Yanshan Academy sketching base and other natural landscapes, as well as Chaoyang Temple, Xiushui Bay, Changshou Ridge, Gujia Kiln, Caimugou Paleolithic Site, Wenchang Stele and other cultural landscapes.
Driving the Haval Dog all the way through the mountains and rivers is indeed worthy of the name of the "Shanshui Gallery", and this section of the road is wide and gentle, and female drivers can easily drive it.
There are too many small attractions along the way, and it may not be so easy if you want to visit them all. But in fact, many people come to Luanchi Road to drive by themselves, not for the scenic spots where they need to buy tickets, but to experience the countryside life.
Although the solar term has already begun in autumn, it is also a small fortune in the afternoon to catch the tail of summer and blend into a sea of flowers.
When we drove to a pond, many people drove their families with them, set up tents and set up hammocks, children played in the water, and adults enjoyed a rare relaxing time.
We also found a quiet place to park. This time, the self-driving trip in the suburbs of Beijing is coming to an end. In the past few days, we have been chasing the beautiful scenery all the way, and we have Haval Dog, a trendy new travel companion, catching the tail of summer. , live up to the good times...
