 Although not very long, this railway travels from inside the Great Wall to outside the wall. Therefore the scenery varies a lot, from farming area to grassland. Along the way, the lakes, mountains, flowers and the Great Wall is definitely a feast to your eyes!

 Shahe Reservoir
Shahe reservoir is as beautiful as a fairyland, especially in winter, when the mist floats above the water with the reeds blowing in the wind and the red sun setting in the west, so attractive!

 Ocean of flowers in Changping
Travelling on summer days, with a boundless stretch of flowers in full bloom around you, you may feel like you are traveling in an ocean of color. You may even smell the flowers and can’t wait to stand in the field. It will be a dreamy paradise when standing among the flowers with blue sky and white cloud as background.

 Badaling Great Wall
Countless people come here just to appreciate its majesty and grandeur. Traveling by train, you will have a different perspective.   

 Countryside scenery and Vineyard in Donghuayuan
Traversing among forest-clad hills, you will marvel at the countryside scenery. It is a land of idyllic beauty where one can find inward peace and get away from earthly turmoil. Another amazing scene in Donghuayuan is a 6.5 acre vineyard.  

 Guanting Reservoir in Huailai
You shouldn’t miss a vast blue stretch of water that is Guanting Reservoir. Waterfowl on the lake, and flowers and grasses on the lakeside make it a popular place for photographers. A 5.6-mile-long (about 9 kilometers) railway bridge has begun construction over the reservoir on Oct 25th, 2016. When finished, passengers will have a chance to “fly” over the rippling lake.

 Jiming Mountain in Xiahuayuan
Jiming Mountain is the highest solitary mountain to the north of the Great Wall, hence known as the “Taishan Mountain beyond the Great Wall”. It is located 1.2 miles (2 km) to the east of Xiahuayuan. Towering crags, lush vegetation, and an isolated peak piercing the clouds make a picturesque sight.

 “Bright pearl” beyond the Great Wall - Zhangjiakou
