Nestled at the foot of the Yanshan Mountain and beside the iconic Great Wall, Yanqi Lake in Beijing’s Huairou District transforms into a breathtaking tapestry of colors each autumn. The lake, whose name means “Swan Rest Lake,” is said to be inspired by the flocks of geese that roost here during the spring and fall seasons.
With its expansive waters and serene surroundings, Yanqi Lake offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The flat terrain and wide open spaces make it perfect for a variety of water and land activities, appealing to adventure seekers and nature lovers alike.
This season, visitors can immerse themselves in the vibrant landscapes, enjoy leisurely boat rides, or simply relax by the lakeside to soak in the picturesque views. Yanqi Lake truly captures the enchanting beauty of Beijing’s countryside in the autumn.
