    2.Recommended time for visit: Plan your whole day around the trek. Leave early from Beijing, allow at least 2 hours to arrive at your start point, 3-4 hours trekking time and another 2 hours to return to Beijing.

    3.Take along water and snacks. Vendors will be around at the start but may not follow you all the way (though they might if you look thirsty!)
