It takes 3.5 hours to get there from Beijing, and yet no one knows about this beautiful fairytale fir forest.

Recently everyone is looking for autumn scenery around Beijing. A friend told me that the fir forests on Sumu Mountain in Ulanqab have turned red. I browsed for a long time but didn’t see anyone updating, so I decided to go out and check it out. It is simply a small "Kanas", so beautiful that it makes people cry. Filming time: October 8, 2024 【About the address】Sumushan Forest Park (located in Xinghe County, Ulanqab City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region) 【About transportation】 High-speed rail: Beijing Qinghe Station to Xinghe North Station, 1 hour and 46 minutes, ticket price RMB 117, you can rent a car or take a taxi after arriving at the station Self-driving: about 3.5 hours from Beijing Tickets: RMB50 for tickets, RMB10 for shuttle bus from parking lot to gate, RMB40 for one way shuttle bus to the top of the mountain 【About the tour route】Lazy version: Take the shuttle bus up the mountain, then walk down the mountain, taking photos as you go (the whole journey takes about 2-3 hours) Hiking enthusiasts: You can take a car from the parking lot to the gate of Sumu Mountain and hike up and down the mountain along the Bingling Stream (the whole journey takes about 4 hours) 【Tips for Playing】 If you drive yourself, you can only drive to the ticket office and take the scenic area shuttle bus from the ticket office to the scenic area. The journey takes about 15-20 minutes. The scenery at the top of the mountain is not as beautiful as at the foot of the mountain. You can see all the other mountains and enjoy the colorful scenery. The foot of the mountain is more suitable for taking photos, especially the plank road along the Binglingjian Stream. It is recommended to go there in the morning and play until about 4 pm. After that, the sun is not good, and the photos will lack light and shadow, and the colors will be a little gray. The mountain is quite cold in October, with an average temperature of about 10 degrees. It is recommended to wear a jacket (with a fleece liner), or wear a fleece sweater like me, with a scarf and a hat. There are steps along the way, and there is no cable car or other means of transportation. Elderly people and mothers with children need to consider carefully.
