Bring Your Little Ones

Enjoy Family Time at Yunmeng Mountain

Bringing your little one along for a holiday adventure is a must. How to keep your little one entertained while ensuring they have plenty of fun is a challenge many parents face.

A trip to the outskirts of Beijing is a great option for every family. Yunmeng Mountain Scenic Area has prepared a variety of experiences for families during this holiday, guaranteed to provide a warm and enjoyable time together. During the National Day and Holiday holidays, Dutch ponies once again visited Yunmeng Mountain Scenic Area. Little animals could ride ponies and feed them with specially supplied carrots. Professional equestrian instructors also provided on-site instruction. This experience, allowing children to get up close and personal with animals in nature, is something they won't get to experience in the classroom. Parents can also take the opportunity to capture photos of the little animals interacting with the animals, creating precious memories for their children. Don't worry if you're tired from playing! Yunmeng Mountain Scenic Area has specially prepared baking DIY and creative craft activities for families, allowing parents to experience them together with their children, communicate and collaborate with them during playtime, and spend some warm moments together. Children can fully unleash their imaginations during these DIY and craft activities, and there are dedicated instructors to ensure their safety.

For lunch, the editor recommends that families traveling with children choose the 520 Restaurant located in the 520 Valley of Love. It can meet diverse dining needs and is not only delicious but also ensures the nutrition needed for children's growth.

Join Hands on the "Road of Love"

Enjoy a Romantic Moment with Your Lover

Yunmeng Mountain Scenic Area boasts numerous romantic check-in spots, making it a popular destination for couples. The scenic area has designed a dedicated Love Route for couples, starting at 520 Love Valley, located at an altitude of 520 meters. It travels approximately 4.5 kilometers along the Love Route to the Qingkongling love check-in spots (1314 Heart to Heart and Three Lives Stone), and finally terminates at the Yunmeng Mountain Scenic Area's unique and popular cable car. After entering the ticket gate, you'll be greeted by Beijing's first rainbow staircase of love. Composed of red, blue, yellow, and green, the 259 steps symbolize "Love Me Forever." Sunlight streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows on either side, creating a dreamlike experience. Just strike a pose on the stairs and any photo you take will be a hit. No need to worry about your boyfriend's photography skills anymore~

Most notable is the nearly 500-year-old "Yue Lao Tree" standing on the west side of the 520 Valley of Love. According to legend, if two lovers tie a blessing ribbon around the tree, they will be together forever and live together until old age. So, couples must give it a try. Couples should definitely choose the tranquil lakeside tent restaurant. Backed by green mountains and facing Xingyue Lake, it offers a great place to enjoy delicious food while taking in the stunning views. In this undisturbed corner, time seems to slow down, perfect for whispering. Not far from the tent restaurant is the Yunmeng Mountain Cableway Station. Take the Yunmeng Mountain Scenic Area's popular cableway, soaring through the clouds, past peaks and valleys, offering a panoramic view of the mountain's unique rock formations. As the cableway ascends, the nearby Miyun Reservoir gradually reveals itself. Thousands of mountains and islands, a vast expanse of blue, a breathtaking scene, reminiscent of a fairytale. Take your phone and take in the stunning photos, guaranteed to be a hit on your social media feed!
