云蒙山长城遗址公园登山, Yunmeng Mountain Greatwall Hike
Located in Miyun County, about 90 KM from Beijing city center. Yunmeng Mountain Great wall Park (云蒙山长城遗址公园) offers tourists magnificent view of the Miyun reservoir, remains of the Great wall that was build in Qi dynasty, variety of vegetations and moderate difficult but well paved hiking trail.
The hike starts at the park entrance (250 meters above sea level). The paved trail winds through wooded hill and ancient rocks. From time to time, you get a clear view of the mountain and the villages below. There are several junctions which are all well marked.
After about 1 hour hike, you will reach the remain of a Ming Dynasty beacon. From this point, you will see the rolling hills, the Miyun reservoir and several lower beacon remains. The magnificent view from this point will make all the effort worth wile.
After resting and enjoying the view, you will follow the sign down the mountain. At one point, you will be able to actually get into one of the beacon and see what the ancient soldiers see. About 1 hour later, you will reach back to the parking lot.
How to get there:
By bus: From Dongzhimen (东直门)Bus station, take # 980 bus. Get off at Miyun bell tower (密云鼓楼) stop. From this point, you will take a taxi to the park entrance (cost about 40RMB) 云蒙山长城遗址公园. Please be sure to get the taxi driver’s cell phone number and call him when you get down. It is rather difficult to wait for the taxi at the park gate.
By car: Take Beijing Chende express way and exit $16. Go north to the Miyun County and follow the blown sign.
Entrance ticket: 25RMB
Other tips:
The peak season is from April 15- Nov. 30. Hardly anybody visit the park during winter except to photograph the great wall in the snow.
云蒙山长城遗址公园距北京市区90余公里，东沿密云水库，西临云蒙山脉。公园地处云蒙山东缘，山形韶秀天成，宛延起伏，构思精巧，群峰突起，常隐于云雾之中，素有”北国黄山”之美誉。
公园内现存长城遗迹中，部分地段属北齐时期修建；而大部分为明初所修。长城属纯石结构单边内长城，自东北伸向西南，恰似一条雄伟的石龙，腾浮于起伏的山巅之上。公园每年组织大型中秋赏月节、金秋栗子节、九九重阳登高节等各项活动，登高远眺，心旷神怡。东边密云水库全景尽收眼底，西望云蒙峡谷一览无遗。
