After actually testing the newly opened cycling greenway in Chaoyang District, Beijing, I came to hand in an assignment.

I have long heard that our Dawangjing has newly opened a greenway suitable for parent-child cycling. You can ride from Wanghe Park North Park through Beihu Woodland, Huangcaowan Country Park, Yangshan Park, and all the way to Aosen North Park , with a total length of 10 kilometers. Yesterday, the weather was fine, so I took my baby for a test ride. Now I will report the actual test experience to everyone.

Beixiaohe Riverside Greenway

Let’s first borrow the map made by netizen “@Dianping user is so mean again” to give everyone a general idea.

The southern starting point of the cycling track is in the North Park of Wanghe Park, but it has not yet been repaired. This section of the North Park of Wanghe Park is not yet rideable. The current starting point is near the north gate of Wanghe Park North Park. It is recommended that you set the navigation address to the north gate of Wanghe Park North Park, and then park in the parking lot of Beixiaohe Park next to it. Walk back 100 meters and you will see the entrance to the cycling track.

Look, this is the entrance, very inconspicuous. You'll miss it if you're not careful. Reminder again: the entrance is on Heyin West Road, on the same side of the road as the north gate of Wanghe Park North Park and the Beixiaohe Park parking lot. (Since the roads in Wangjing are all slanted, I won’t talk about southeast, northwest). Below the entrance is a small square. I arrived at around 11 a.m. and there were several free bicycles parked here.

The first section of the road is not strictly a cycling path, but a red brick road.

After a few hundred meters, you will reach the cycling track.

There are a lot of people in this section, some walking dogs and some carrying food, as if they are going for a picnic.

When the weather is fine, Beixiao River is very beautiful, and there are many fishermen on both sides of the river.

After 1 kilometer, there were obviously fewer people. The trees on both sides of the road are still young, with little shade and some sun.

There are some interesting slogans on the road from time to time~

High energy warning ahead! There are large areas of February orchids on the grassland, with few tourists. It is a good place to pitch tents and set up hammocks.

After playing in the flowers for a while, we continued on the road.

The next section of the road has uphills, downhills, and turns. The children are very excited. It’s time to test their driving skills!

The map borrowed at the beginning of the article shows that this area is called "Beihu Woodland", not far from Beihu No. 9 Golf Driving Range. Some sections of the road offer views of the golf course.

Due to the scarcity of tourists, each tent family has a large area of ??forest to themselves. It's much cleaner and more comfortable than in the park.

After riding out of Beihu Woodland, you will reach Xindian Road. You have to go straight west through an intersection and arrive near the entrance of Wong Cao Wan Country Park to find the sign to continue riding.

On Xindian Road, follow the zebra crossing to find the cycling path.

Saw the cycling trail sign! (On the north side of the entrance to Wong Cao Wan Country Park)

Personally, I think this section of Wong Cao Wan is the most beautiful section of the Bei Xiaohe Riverside Greenway. The green trees and February orchids are in full bloom, which is a feast for the eyes.

After leaving Wong Cao Wan Country Park, we returned to Xindian Road. Ride west to the traffic light intersection, go north, turn onto Beihuqu West Road, and continue riding.

Beihuqu West Road This section of Xindian North Road is outside the park and very close to residential areas, so there is basically no scenery to speak of. This section of Beihuqu West Road is still very sunny.

When there is no scenery to see, all you have to do is look at the slogans at your feet!

Follow the cycling path to Beiyuan Road. Pass the traffic lights under the viaduct and arrive at the east gate of Yangshan Park.

However, the cycling trails in Yangshan Park have not yet been opened, and the cycling trails outside the park are also being built. Our ride ends here and we return the way we came.

Summary:

1. From the starting point outside the north gate of Wanghe Park North Park to the end point of Xindian North Road, it is about 5 kilometers and a round trip of 10 kilometers. Children over 7 years old There should be no problem with the child's physical strength. More professional cyclists will definitely find the route too short and unenjoyable. I took my children to ride and play for 3 hours. (There is still more than 2 kilometers away from the starting point to my home)

2. There are several places along the way with few people and beautiful scenery that are suitable for setting up tents (Beihu Woodland and Huangcaowan Park sections). You can bring your equipment and have a picnic and rest here.

3. The design idea of ??the Beixiaohe Riverside Greenway is very good, connecting several large parks in the northeast of Chaoyang District, but the project is still far from being completed. Moreover, several parks still pass through the main road with traffic, which is not very safe. I once suggested that the art class should set the class group activity as cycling, but after personal experience, I felt that it would not work. Because the road is not completely closed, a few teachers cannot guarantee the safety of forty students.

Some netizens shared in Shuimu Community the places suitable for children to ride in Beijing. It is very comprehensive. I will forward it at the end of the article:

This spring, I started taking my children out to look for them everywhere in the city. I have been to many places that are good places to ride. I will summarize them here and tell you the information I know for your reference.

First of all, I would like to state that my goal is in line with the purpose of this edition. The purpose is for cycling, even for children. Therefore, places that are too small or purely for fun are not subject to my review. within the range.

Below is a brief list of the places I have been and the places I will go to. Later posts will describe and rate them in detail:

According to this netizen's standards, I estimate that the Beixiaohe Riverside Greenway is about 4 points. . For friends who are too far away, there is no need to come here specially. But for those who live near Wangjing, it is still worth experiencing. After all, due to the distance, no matter how good the cycling trails in Yizhuang Xincheng Forest Park are, we cannot go there often. The cycling path at your doorstep is so delicious!
