OUR BEIJING · CLEAR WATER RIVER HIKE
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




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.
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.
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.

Allow a full day. The outing is generally around 6–8 hours, but travel, stops and the route can extend it towards 8–10 hours. We confirm the plan for your date before booking. Wear shoes with good grip and bring suitable layers, water and anything you need for wet feet.
The listed difficulty is 2/5, but riverside terrain still needs care. Share your walking experience, children’s ages and any access needs with us. We can then discuss whether the route fits your group and how to plan the day.
