    In recent years, widespread smog has arrived unexpectedly. For a time, multiple cities across the country were shrouded in smog, with the capital Beijing suffering from "smog attacks" on multiple occasions. It is reported that forests are the best "air purifiers" for reducing PM2.5, and each leaf acts as a toxin filter. With spring now in full swing and all things coming back to life, let’s take action this Tree Planting Day. Bring your family and friends to plant a tree in the suburbs of Beijing, grow a touch of green, purify the sky, and drive away the smoggy days. Below, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about tree planting.

  Learning the correct way to plant trees ensures a higher survival rate for saplings and helps them grow lush and leafy.

  1. Timing

  In North China, the best period for tree planting is from mid-March to late April, and it's best to choose overcast days or just before rainfall.

Qinglong Gorge


  Located 20 kilometers north of Huairou District, it is a natural scenic area that combines green mountains, clear waters, and the ancient Great Wall. Within the scenic area, the mountains on both sides of Longxia Lake rise one after another, with peculiar rocks and unique landscapes everywhere. The mountain flowers, unable to contain their vibrancy, bloom competitively on the branches. Walking along the stone steps of the mountain path, passing through lush pines and cypresses, and exploring the verdant mountains, you can feel the vibrant spring atmosphere of Qinglong Gorge. The scenic area holds an annual "Spring Outing, Flower Appreciation, Mountain Climbing, and Tree Planting Festival."


  Tree Planting Location: Qinglong Gorge Tree Planting Base


  Tree Species: Pine, Cypress, Poplar


  Transportation: Take bus 936 Qinglong Gorge Special Line from Dongzhimen Hub Station. For self-driving, take the Beijing-Shunyi Road, exit at Kuangou (about 200 meters before the Miaocheng intersection in Huairou), then continue straight toward Kuangou following the signs.


  Friendly Tips: The scenery from the foot to the top of the mountain in spring is stunning, but temperatures at the summit can drop significantly. It’s recommended to wear warm fleece clothing and windproof jackets. Of course, breathable hiking shoes and a lightweight, comfortable backpack are also essential. Additionally, if you plan to climb the ancient Great Wall, it’s best to bring trekking poles and wear a windproof hat.
