Yunmengshan National Forest Park
云蒙山国家森林公园
One of the high peaks of the Yanshan Mountains. The main peak rises to about 1,414 meters. Known as the 'Little Huangshan' of the suburbs, it offers unusual pines, odd rock formations, sea-of-clouds views, and waterfalls, and it's great for hiking.
Yunmeng Mountain lies on the border between Huairou and Miyun districts. Its main peak is about 1,414 meters above sea level, making it one of the famous mountains in northeastern Beijing. Built mainly of granite, it has steep, jagged peaks covered with twisted pines and oddly shaped rocks. After rain, clouds often drift through the valleys and waterfalls appear, which is why it's known as the 'Little Huangshan' of the Beijing suburbs. The Yunmeng Mountain National Forest Park on the Huairou side has hiking trails leading to the main viewpoints. The round trip takes about 4 to 6 hours and is physically demanding. Check the scenic area's notices for admission and opening hours. Weather in the mountains changes quickly, so bring rain gear and warm clothing. Some trails close in winter.
