2-day self-driving tour in Fangshan District, Beijing on June 19, 2021

At 7 am on June 19, 2021, our husband and wife set off from Tianjin on time, drove to the Peking Man Site Museum in Zhoukoudian, Fangshan District, Beijing, and arrived at 9:15. Enter at 9:20 and leave at 10:10. The museum is not big, and the exhibitions are average. After we came out, we walked to the Heritage Park, which is 500 meters apart. There is a charge for parking in the heritage park, and free parking in the museum. In fact, there are many free parking spaces on both sides of the road outside. The ruins park is still very good, it is a small hill, and it took 1.5 hours to play the whole way, and there are caves at the original excavation site. After coming out, we drove to Yunju Temple and arrived at 13:10. Yunju Temple closed at 4:00 p.m., and began to clear around 15:40. At 13:30, we began to follow the explanation all the way, and it took 1 hour to explain a circle. At first, we planned to go to Shijing Mountain next to it. Shijing Mountain is not allowed to go up the mountain after 3 pm. I heard that it takes 2 hours to go up and down Shijing Mountain. So, we canceled our original plan and watched Yunju Temple again, and we didn't come out until the scene was cleared. Afterwards, we drove to Shangfang Mountain, which was also not allowed to go up the mountain after 4 pm, so we decided to stay in the farmhouse on the spot. Shangfang Mountain is at the east gate, Yunshui Cave is at the west gate, and there are a large number of farmhouses near Yunshui Cave. The next day, we took the cable car up the mountain from Yunshui Cave on time at 8:30, and we were the first tourists to enter Yunshui Cave that day. We walked down the mountain, and did not take the cable car up the mountain. The ladder is actually only 262 steps, not much difficulty. We went down to the upper mountain pass at 12:20, and we played for almost 4 hours. It is very cool in the mountains. Tips: If you stay in a local farmhouse, you can enjoy discounts on parking and cable car fares. We drove to Nanjiao Shuiyu Village around 12:50. Arrive at 14:20. We didn't know at first that we parked the car in the central square (village committee), but we could actually drive all the way to the reservoir above, but we walked up it on foot, and the reservoir is not big. When we got down, we took a car from a kind person, which saved us the hard work of walking. Nanjiao Shuiyu Village is mainly an ancient village to play with, and it is entered from the small entrance of the supermarket. This village is also average, not as distinctive as the few stone villages we have visited before. We set off from the local area at 16:10 and returned home safely at 19:00. The whole journey was 462 kilometers. The gas stations around Beijing have no discounts at all, and they are not cheap.
