The winding road leads to amazing mountains and rivers, but the beautiful scenery cannot be disappointed丨The most beautiful road in Beijing: Liuxin Road
It is no exaggeration to say that Liuxin Road in the suburbs of Beijing is one of the most fascinating cliff roads for me to travel by car.
To evaluate whether a travel destination is beautiful enough, for me, there is only one criterion, and that is whether you will never forget it after visiting it.
Lucin Road definitely meets expectations, because no matter it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, whether it is cloudy or rainy, whether it is morning, noon or dusk, and whether you are going east to west or west to east, you will always be there. Everywhere you go, you will be rewarded with scenery. With such a beautiful road, just one trip is not enough. It is definitely not enough. How can we not share such a beautiful travel destination with our friends? If we don’t share it, we would be sorry for the beauty here.

The west end entrance of Lucin Road is more than 80 kilometers away from the center of Beijing. Starting from the city, go north along the Jingcheng Expressway, turn to the Jingmi Expressway to Huairou, and then turn onto Jingjia Road. From the moment you see the winding Great Wall on the top of the mountain, Yanshan welcomes you with its beauty. has arrived. Heading all the way north, we passed the watershed tunnel that penetrated Yunmeng Mountain, and not far further, we arrived at Liuxin Road.
Fenshuiling Tunnel is about 3,500 meters long and is currently the second longest highway tunnel in Beijing, second only to the Tanyugou Tunnel heading towards Beijing on the Badaling Expressway. If you are traveling here in rainy or snowy weather, it may still be rainy and foggy before entering the tunnel, but the sun will be shining brightly after you exit the tunnel. The towering Yunmeng Mountain has changed the microclimate. If you are not in a hurry, you can also take the old Jingjia Road, which is the winding mountain road on Yunmeng Mountain above. The scenery is also excellent.
The steep cliff road of Liuxin Road
Liuxin Road starts from Liulimiao Town, Huairou District, connects with Jingjia Road at the intersection of Baichazi Road, and has been climbing all the way up since then. , zigzagging eastward, meandering along the mountain walls of the Baihe River Valley. On the right side of the road is the Yunmeng Mountain, which stands tall and tall, and on the other side is the bottomless cliff of 100 feet. The road is narrow and winding. Don’t be distracted while driving.
If it is a windy and rainy day, unstable rocks on the mountain may fall at any time, blocking traffic, damaging the road, and threatening the safety of passing vehicles and pedestrians. Therefore, during the rainy season, Lucin Road is affected by falling rocks, landslides, and landslides. It is also common to wait for traffic to be closed. Every day, there are road workers inspecting the mountain, climbing dozens or hundreds of meters of cliffs to install protective nets, and promptly removing potential safety hazards. Year after year, day after day, although the mountains are picturesque, they have no time to appreciate them. .
Workers climb rocks to check for hidden dangers
The mountain structure of Yunmeng Mountain is mainly granite. The gneiss-like structure at the edge is due to the ductile deformation of the rock mass and the accompanying angle. The gneisses formed during amphibolite phase retrograde metamorphism and the mylonitization zone surrounding the rock base look very much like layered sedimentary rocks from a distance. Hundreds of millions of years of complex geological movements and wind and rain erosion have given this place a diverse landscape. , all year round, from morning to night, sunny, windy and rainy, the scenery is different. This is also the charm of this road, so that you can never say that you have seen all the scenery.
The Baihe River in the valley originates from Guyuan County, Hebei Province and flows into Miyun Reservoir. The river is sandy and the sand is white, so it is named Baihe; the river is strong and has unpredictable migrations, so it is commonly known as Zizai River. The unruly river water reshaped the landscape. The magic of nature is always amazing. The hardest stone tries to block the softest water, but it ends up splitting canyons. The water is soft, but soft and has bones. No one can stop its will to rush to the sea. The hard granite does not know its own strength, and will end up being cut and crushed. The river valley is getting deeper and deeper, and the rocks are being eroded and cut to become more and more precipitous. .
The best section of Liuxin Road is between Yunmeng Wonderland Scenic Area and Lupi Pass, which is about 26 kilometers long. After Lupi Pass, the water surface of Baihe becomes wider and wider, becoming the center of Miyun Reservoir. part.
A well-known check-in point on Liuxin Road is Wangjing Terrace. It is not only the administrative boundary between Huairou and Miyun, but also one of the best observation points overlooking the Baihe Gorge. Here, the Baihe River connects After turning a few big bends, looking down from the air, it looks like a Tai Chi diagram. As far as the eye can see, the valley is deep and the still water is long, which is spectacular.

If you go down to the bottom of the valley and look back at the road in the mountains, you will be more aware of how dangerous the place you just passed is, and you should understand more The importance of driving carefully, if an accident occurs here where the car runs off the road, it will be really catastrophic.

Sunset
For photography enthusiasts, it is easy to take pictures of various styles of scenery on this road. . People often say that infinite scenery lies in dangerous peaks, and every section of this road is thrilling. At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the golden sunshine shines on the exposed boulders, turning the dry mountains into golden mountains; at sunset, if there is a sunset, If it is a cloudy and rainy day, the clouds and mountains will be shrouded in mist, making it hazy and mysterious. There are hundreds of flowers in spring, red leaves in autumn, lush greenery in summer, and thousands of miles of ice and snow in winter. It can be said that there is no bad season.
