Summer Hiking｜Unexpectedly Found the 'World Map' A Friendly Guide for Beginners

🌼 This week has been quite cool, so I made plans with my hiking friends to go for a hike. Before venturing on an unfamiliar trail, having a reliable guide is crucial, otherwise, it's easy to get lost in the woods. · 🧭 Location Navigation: Phoenix Ridge—White Tiger Ravine Crossing 🛤 Length: 10Km · 🧗‍♀️ I hiked Phoenix Ridge in winter, so I am quite familiar with it. The missed Heavenly Ladder must be experienced for its thrill. After about a month, the mountains are covered with beautiful flowers, forming a picturesque spring scene with the green trees, quietly changing into new attire as spring arrives. · ▶️ Why choose this route: To walk the Heavenly Ladder that I missed, and also to descend via the middle route. The two scenic spots are very close and can be enjoyed together, saving time and effort without retracing steps. White Tiger Ravine is very large, and it takes a whole day to explore, so many people choose the flower viewing route. However, there are many crossing routes, and this route covers all the scenic spots, ensuring you don't miss the flower viewing route or the beauty of Beijing's back garden. · 🧭 Route as follows: Enter Phoenix Ridge—Heavenly Ladder—800 steps—cross the wire fence to the neighboring area—(White Tiger Ravine area) Heaven and Earth—World China Map—Peach Blossom Forest—Eternal Love Tiger's Mouth—Longevity Stone—Viewing Platform—Sunrise and Sunset Viewing Platform—Flaming Mountain · 🧭 Return route: Flaming Mountain—Wanfu Ridge—Eighty-One Caves—Phoenix Ridge/White Tiger Ravine junction—Middle route descent/conventional route descent 🕙 Total time: 4 hours including rest · 🈯️ Must-visit spots along the way: 🗺 World/China Map: A natural wonder formed by crustal movements, creating a magical stone map. 🌸 Peach Blossom Forest: The peach blossoms are in full bloom, making you feel like you are in a poetic scene. 🌄 Flaming Mountain: In the latter part of the journey, you can clearly see Flaming Mountain. Initially thought to be sunlight reflection, it is actually naturally formed. 🏞 Eighteen Caves: A must-visit spot in the back garden, named for its 18 natural caves. The path is steep in places, so perfectionists beware. Inside the caves is a cool resting place, with some snow still unmelted, and little-trodden paths worth exploring. Danger level 0, but the caves are narrow, so watch your head. ⚠️ Safety Index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ · 📍 This hiking route includes the essence of two scenic spots, making it perfect for spring. If you have been to Phoenix Ridge before and climbed to the top, try this route. · 🛤 The Eighteen Caves route passes through a forest, so follow the signs. The temperature in the mountains is lower, and this section has mud. The flower viewing is mainly on the outbound route. The signal in the mountains is okay, so it's best to go with a companion. Make sure to descend before sunset, as there is plenty of time and it's not difficult. · ☀️ Summer is a season full of stories 🌷 I casually mention 🌻 And can record many small things 🌿 Like being on the road
