Pinggu, Bolitai Yixiantian. 🌺 Pinggu is more user-friendly than Mentougou, Changping, and Fangshan. Want to go into the mountains? Sure, just register and remember not to smoke. Although there are no national protected cultural relics here. 🌺 Bolitai Yixiantian is right next to the road. After getting off the road, you'll find a parking lot. From the parking lot, climb the mountain steps... In five minutes, you'll reach Yixiantian on your right, which is actually right next to the road. It's very close. 🌺 A crack between two stone walls, as if a god had drunkenly split it with a knife. The crack is only wide enough for one person to pass through. You'll be amazed as you pass through to the exit, which is about 30 meters long. Not huge, but rare. 🌺 It's not worth coming here just for this, but if you like hiking in the mountains in winter, it's worth it! If you're passing by, it's worth it.

Cuandixia Village is a very famous ancient village in Beijing. The western part of Beijing is full of stone mountains. Take the newly opened Beijing-Wu Expressway, and you will pass through one tunnel after another, which is very impressive. Cuandixia Village has well-preserved ancient architecture, with buildings arranged along the mountain slopes. With Longtou Mountain as the center, the north-south central axis controls the layout of more than 70 exquisite courtyard houses, which are arranged in two layers along the mountain slopes in a radial pattern on a limited site. The buildings are distributed in a rigorous and harmonious manner, with orderly changes. The overall layout of the village resembles a "gourd" or an "ingot", symbolizing "fortune" and "wealth", giving the ancient village an auspicious meaning. There are many inns and farmhouses in the village, making it convenient to eat. It is recommended to drive directly into the village, as some parking lots offer free parking if you dine in the village. There are hiking trails on the mountains in front and behind the village, making it easy to climb and enjoy the village's scenery. There is also a natural landform called Yixiantian at the village entrance, which is worth a visit. Living in the fast-paced city life, you can come to Cuandixia Village on weekends to experience a slower pace of life and relax.
