Follow the water. Find a quieter Beijing.
Our Clear Water River Hike takes you into the mountain scenery of Miyun. Follow the riverside, weave through greenery and enjoy a day that moves at nature’s pace. Bring a packed lunch, a sense of curiosity and the energy for an active escape from the city.
Miyun · Difficulty 2/5 · Private groups of 1–20 · Full-day outing
A mountain day with water at its heart.
The river gives this adventure its rhythm. Walk beside the water, navigate sections of the riverside and stop to enjoy the view. In warmer conditions, we can discuss opportunities for a dip where suitable. Water levels and weather shape what is possible on the day.
Your Clear Water River Hike
Leave the city. Travel with your group to the mountains, with the exact meeting point confirmed when you book.
Explore the riverside. Follow a route through mountain scenery and greenery, with your English-speaking guide handling the navigation.
Pause and enjoy it. Bring your lunch and make time for the setting before the journey back to Beijing.
Choose your season
Warmer months bring a different experience from winter. Cold weather can transform the river, but frozen conditions are never guaranteed. Ask us about the route and access for your dates. Any time on ice or in the water depends on a suitable assessment of conditions.
