Itinerary
Summary: Escape the bustling downtown for a journey into Beijing's serene eastern suburbs. This curated day trip blends the tranquility of the Huangsongyu Reservoir, a heartwarming organic lunch with a local family, and a breathtaking experience on a glass platform that dwarfs the Grand Canyon Skywalk.
08:00 | Scenic Departure: Through the Sea of Peach Blossoms
Your guide and driver will pick you up for a comfortable 80km drive eastward to Pinggu District.
-
Spring Special: If traveling between April 15 and early May, you will drive through the world's largest peach orchard, a stunning pink "sea of flowers" that stretches as far as the eye can see.
09:30 | Huangsongyu Reservoir & The Forgotten Wall
Experience a scenic drive along the pristine Huangsongyu Reservoir. Perched on the ridges above is the Huangsongyu Great Wall, an authentic and rugged section that once served as a vital mountain defense. This area is a hidden gem, favored by local residents for its peaceful atmosphere and raw, natural beauty.
11:00 | The Eagle's Nest: An Authentic Family Encounter
Enter Diaowo Village (literally "The Eagle's Nest"), a secluded hamlet nestled between mountains and water.
-
The Organic Life: Meet Mrs. Li and Mr. Hao in their traditional courtyard home. After retiring from the city, they embraced an organic lifestyle, growing their own vegetables and raising poultry.
-
Home-Cooked Lunch: Enjoy a genuine "farm-to-table" lunch prepared by Mrs. Li. This is a rare opportunity to chat about Chinese life, retirement, and local traditions in a cozy, private setting. It's more than a meal; it's a cultural bridge.
13:30 | Stone Forest Gorge (Shilinxia) & The Glass Skywalk
After lunch, head into the 6km-long Stone Forest Gorge, famous for its towering rock formations that resemble ancient petrified trees.
-
The World Record Holder: Take a cable car up the mountain and a short 20-minute walk to reach the Glass Sightseeing Platform. Suspended high above the cliff, this transparent deck is 11 meters longer than the Grand Canyon Skywalk in the USA!
-
The View: Stand on air and soak in a 360-degree panoramic view of the valleys below. It is a thrilling, world-class photography spot that will be the highlight of your family's vacation.
16:00 – 17:30 | Comfortable Return
Descend via cable car and relax as we drive you back to your hotel in Beijing, concluding a day of nature, heights, and heartfelt hospitality.
