There are many good places for spring self driving tours around Beijing, and I highly recommend friends to go and enjoy the scenery! Everyone can enjoy a relaxing self driving trip during the holidays. Now let's take a look at the recommended self driving attractions in Beijing! Please refer to the following text for details

1. Qianjiadian Town, Yanqing

Yanqing County, located 74 kilometers away from the city center of Beijing, is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, with excellent ecological environment. It is an important ecological barrier in the northwest of the capital city, the north gate of the capital city of Beijing, and an important transportation hub. The urban and rural roads are well connected, the climate is unique, the winters are cold and summers are cool, and it is known as the "Summer Capital" of Beijing

Relying on the beautiful Black and White River water, the entire town has built a thousand acre Kuihai area along the 112 mile Black and White River loop, and improved 12 tourist nodes such as Xiushuiwan, town area, Gangou, and Gujiashanzhai, creating a "one ditch, one product" and "one village, one product" folk household gathering area with beautiful scenery everywhere

Have you ever thought of a scene where you accidentally stumbled into the 112 mile flower sea, a beautiful scene that only exists in movies, and now it is truly presented in front of you. Thousands of acres of sunflowers in Qianjiadian Town, waving and smiling together in the sunshine

Self driving route 1: Take the Beijing Tibet Expressway (Badaling Expressway) to Yanqing County, head towards Longqing Gorge, take the Xianglong Road tourist route (or towards Shenjiaying and Yongning), and follow the signs of "Baili Landscape Gallery" and "Wulong Gorge" to get there

Self driving route 2: Starting from Yanqing County, heading towards Longqing Gorge, take the Xianglong Road tourist route. When passing through Yongning Town, turn left onto Changchi Road, pass through Yanshan Tianchi, turn right onto Luanchi Road, and you will arrive at the scenic area. It is slightly farther than Route 1, but the scenery along the way is beautiful and worth a try

Bus: Take the 919 bus or S2 passenger train from Deshengmen to Yanqing, and then transfer to the 925 2 bus (Qianjiadian Dishuihu direction) at Yanqing Nancaiyuan Bus Station to arrive

2. Gubei Water Town

Why go to Venice? There are also water towns here. At first glance, you may think this is Wuzhen in Hangzhou, but in fact, it is Gubei Water Town located in Miyun County, Beijing

3. Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall

The Badaling Great Wall is known to everyone on Earth. Have you heard of Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall? Located in Jiuduhe Town, Huairou District, Beijing, 65 kilometers away from the city center, it takes about 1.5 hours by car. The scenery here is very different from the Badaling Great Wall. The water Great Wall set against the backdrop of Haoming Lake adds infinite beauty and tenderness to the majestic Great Wall

On both sides of the main street of Xishuiyu Village, where the Great Wall of Water is located, there are farmhouses. Friends who are used to urban delicacies must try the simple and delicious farmhouses.

Transportation: For friends from other places, you can choose to take the 916 (Jingcheng Expressway) bus at the Dongzhimen transportation hub to the destination (Huairou Station). After arriving at the station, get off and walk 150 meters forward to reach the destination. Every 40 minutes is very convenient

4. Zhangyu Aifeibao Winery

In the European town of Beijing, Zhangyu Aifeibao is located on Fatong Avenue, a fresh grape picking garden, a Gothic castle, an underground wine cellar, the European town, Zhangyu Centennial History Museum, and a landscape leisure area. Here, you can fully experience the fun brought by wine culture, have intimate contact with nature, and completely relax your body and mind

Rural pastoral style, middle-class style, gentry style, knight style. Original interpretation of European style, meticulously crafted, shaping classics

The town combines European architectural style and is built on the mountain, with beautiful natural scenery, fresh and pleasant air, and a unique geographical location. It is a French style town that integrates accommodation, catering, conferences, entertainment, leisure, and tourism vacation

Transportation: Turn left 300 meters from Exit 17 of Jingcheng Expressway (Miyun City East Exit) to reach the destination

5. Wuqing, Tianjin

This small town of Lorenzo is not in Italy, it is located in Wuqing District, Tianjin, between Beijing and Tianjin. Strolling here, one can see not only the shadow of Lorenzo in the old yellow walled street, but also the shadows of many other places in Italy, such as Venice where Gondola shuttles, the most beautiful living room in Europe, St. Mark's Square, and the circular Roman Colosseum, all of which are miniature versions

Not only for sightseeing, but also as an outlet shopping mall with over a hundred international brands. Strolling here, even just looking at various big brands can be quite enjoyable

Buy a cup of hot coffee at the coffee shop on the street corner, and in the aroma of the coffee, carefully observe everything in this small town. Listening to the light melody coming from the headphones, you will sincerely discover that life can be incredibly beautiful

6. Jixian County, Tianjin

Jixian County has beautiful natural scenery and numerous famous historical sites. There are many revolutionary war sites and memorial sites in the county. Ancient relics such as the thousand year old temple Dule, the Western Zhou Dynasty site, the Han tomb group, Tang Song Yuan Liao tombs, the Qing prince's tomb, and the prince's tomb are scattered throughout the county, making it a county with great cultural relics

Recommended time: Two days and one night. On the first day, we climbed the mountain and stayed in Guojiagou at night. The next day, we went to climb the Huangyaguan Great Wall, and in the afternoon, we visited Dule and Baita in the county town. We had dinner in the county town. In this way, famous natural landscapes of mountains and waters (Panshan), clean and beautiful rural customs (Guojiagou, a water town), majestic and spectacular cultural wonders (Huangyaguan Great Wall), ancient buildings with a long history and great charm (Dule * and White Pagoda), as well as distinctive cuisine are all involved

Transportation: Take a bus from Bawangfen Long distance Bus Station towards Jixian. It is very convenient to drive from Beijing to Panshan. The Jingping Expressway runs straight to the end, and then walk another 7 kilometers to see the sign of Panshan. It takes more than an hour to get to the foot of the mountain gate

7. Weixian

In this small and silent county town, you can feel everything that an ancient city outside the Great Wall should have. There is almost no tourism development there, but there are enough tourism elements, and almost every gatehouse and small tower and temple is worth visiting

8. Kubuqi, Inner Mongolia

The desert closest to the capital city is loved by many outdoor hikers. If you have been to many delicate and gentle places, why not feel the roughness and vastness of the desert? In Kubuqi, you can see the beautiful curves of sand dunes and the sunset scenery of the desert. Taking photos with young couples is also quite romantic~
