Camping

In China, camping and outdoor activities are booming. The popularity of camping reflects a long-term rise in interest in outdoor sports and activities, as well as a trend toward short-haul and local travel driven by the pandemic. Camping has become one of the hottest new trends in China’s travel industry. Domestic travel companies have reported a surge in searches for camping during recent holidays, and sales of camping equipment are growing at triple-digit rates.
Soul Mountain
Lingshan is the tallest peak in Beijing, with an altitude of 2,303 meters. Located only 122 kilometres from the capital city of Beijing, this mountain is characterized by its beautiful scenery and cool weather in summer. For this reason, it is a good place worth visiting for a summer vacation to avoid the heat and for relaxing. As Lingshan was a Great Wall battle site, there are still remnants from this, such as the brick wall and beacon tower. At the top of Lingshan, there is a wide open space where you can go camping. In the tourist district, you can see not only the old mortars but also the wells where clean spring water runs throughout the whole year.
The Xiangshui Lake Scenic Area
The Xiangshui Lake Scenic Area is located to the east of Dazhengu Village, Bohai Town, which is near the western portion of the Huairoutiangu Great Wall. This beautiful lake combines the Great Wall, an old cave, the peak, a spring, and a waterfall together. The main places of interest are in a valley where a Ming Dynasty fortress was built, surrounded by rocky mountain peaks. The spring that runs out of the top of the mountain leads to a 50-meter-high waterfall. The lake's name originates from the noise of the spring water splashing on the rocks, which can be heard nearly 1,000 meters away. The spring here is the largest in Huairou, which supplies all of the residents.
The White River Castle Reservoir
The White River Castle Reservoir is located in the northeast corner of Yanqing Town in the headwaters of the white river. It is 110 kilometres away from the downtown area of Beijing and 30 kilometres from Yanqing Town. The average temperature is 20°C in summer. This basin is the fifth largest in Beijing although it is also the highest. People may drink the water from the upper branch of the river. The White River Castle Reservoir is famous for the important castle "Jingan Castle" as it is the main access to the white valley. Due to the castle, this area is given the name "The White River Castle Reservoir".
The Ming Tombs Reservoir
The Ming Tombs Reservoir is located in a basin surrounded by green mountains and clear lakes. The reflection of the mountain in the water shows the peacefulness and beauty of the reservoir. There are a lot of paths under many flourishing trees. You can camp in this fantastic place with its pretty scenery, and cross your legs and sit on the ground. While facing the dam and feeling the breeze, the appreciation for nature and the enjoyment of life will come to you.
