3 peaks beijing big loop

i changed the route at starting point this time, from jardin bussiere's garden, beijia in mandarin, just to save time for the warm-up walk.

however, it was so challenging, which i didn't expect. the trails consist of many huge stones that i had to climb most of the time. so actually, i took me almost 2 hours than starting from dajue temple. let alone it's a bit risky as well. be sure to go with partners; do not go alone.

i'd rather start from dajue temple again next time. as the daytime is shorter and shorter, we must manage time very wisely so as to get down the hills before darkness.

what brought me happiness was that i found another new trail down from cool water pump so that i could walk on the hilltops all the time, not only enjoying sceneries around but also avoiding slippery bumpy stone trails down to 7th-king's-tomb village, qiwang fen in mandarin.

the fall is coming. some leaves have changed colors, so beautiful that you won't hesitate to snapshot all the time. i did a lot so i was in a rush late afternoon, and it was full dark when i got down the hills. i couldn't say that i wouldn't do more next time. who can resist the temptation of romantic fall?
