Kid-friendly hikes with Beijing Hikers
Join Beijing Hikers in one (or both) of the kid-friendly hikes this month. The first one is a hike and swim combo-perfect for hot weather, and fun for all ages! The sandy beaches and pools of water in Yunmeng Gorge make a perfect place to picnic and swim, especially when you need to escape from the city.
The other one is almost exactly the same White River hike that they do in summer and winter, but on this visit you don’t need to get your feet wet unless you really want to. If it’s a hot day, there’s a good chance you will want to!
You’ll see the running river, leafy green trees by the riverside, impressive tall and steep cliffs made from massive slabs of rock and boulders, and hopefully the local family of herons that nest high up in the cliffs.
