Romantic Mountain Roads to Spring: A Hundred-Mile Sea of Cherry Blossoms and Apricot Blossoms – Beijing’s Most Beautiful Suburban Highway at its Peak Viewing Time
The peach blossoms and apricot blossoms along Changchi Road are beginning to bloom
Spring in Beijing comes and goes in a hurry. Before you've had a good look at the peach blossoms and willow trees, the pink willows and vibrant hues, a fleeting moment passes quickly, the willow fluff flies. Fortunately, there is a road of nearly 100 kilometers winding through the mountains in Beijing. This is one of the ten most beautiful highways in the suburbs of Beijing, known as Changchi Road.
Winding along the mountains, Changchi Road
I have driven Changchi Road many times in different seasons, and each time I can feel a different beauty. Especially in the late March, the Changchi Road in spring, winding and twisting northward, the mountainsides are lined with peach blossoms and apricot blossoms, traveling along the road full of blossoming mountain trees, it's as if you've stepped into a long mountain landscape painting.

From Changping's thirteen tombs to Yanqing's Baihebao Reservoir, this is the Beijing section of Changchi Road, and it's the most beautiful and winding mountain road. During this time, the section from thirteen tombs to Yanqing Yongning Ancient City is a sea of flowers. Continuing northward, the flowering season will still be a few weeks away.
It's the perfect time for a self-drive
On a sunny day with blue skies and white clouds, the spring scenery along Changchi Road, combined with the winding road and blossoming peach blossoms and apricot blossoms, it's breathtaking.
Late March's Changchi Road, every spot is a landscape
Driving along the winding mountain road of Changchi Road, there are towering peaks, turning corners, and beautiful scenery at every turn. The S-shaped road further increases the excitement and fun of self-driving. Some curves exceed 180 degrees, and every turn is thrilling.
A highway of flowers
Standing on the viewing platform, gazing at the blooming peach blossoms and the long valleys, the magnificent scenery is breathtaking. From the imperial atmosphere of thirteen tombs to the most beautiful village of Xiangtun Village and the dragon-covered Longquan Valley, the beauty is in your eyes, and the fun is in your heart.
Late March's Changchi Road, it's a romantic winding mountain highway to spring. Mountains are awakening, and the blossoming mountains are blooming. Passing through once, you will never forget it.

Driving through the mountain flower sea, you can also visit Yongning Ancient City. Yongning Ancient City was built in the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, so it has the saying 'Yongning Ancient City came first, then thirteen tombs'.
Yongning Ancient City
A special mention is that when you visit Yongning Ancient City, you must try 'Huashao' (fire-baked dough). Freshly baked Huashao, if you gently pinch the edge of the dough, it will naturally crack, and you can put oil dough or cooked meat inside. Eating it is fragrant. Anyone who has been to Yongning Ancient City will praise the Huashao.
Of course, in spring, besides Changchi Road, many other suburban highways will also enter their best viewing period, such as Gaoqili Road, Hongjing Road, and Yeliu Road, etc.
