XiJinhekou Scenic Area in Xiaowutai Mountain

Only purifying your soul can get a pure land. You don’t have to go to polar areas or Mohe River to find such a land, which is just sitting on the edge of our city. Falling stars slide through the night sky, bringing innumerable cosmic dusts and leaving their transient beauty to you.

Wulingshan National Natural Reserve

Speaking of the optimal places for star observation, the Wuling Mountain is a place that must be mentioned. As the only scenic area around Beijing where cars can directly drive up to the altitude of 2,000 meters, this place attracts a large number of visitors who love astronomy and photography. Owing to its high altitude, the mountain top often sees the wonders of sea of clouds. If you are lucky, you can take a photo of Silver River over the cloud sea, in the photo the lit-up place far from the cloud sea is the brilliantly illuminated Beijing City.
