Hongjing Road
Recently I discovered one of the most strikingly beautiful roads I have ever seen, and it is in the Beijing city limits as well. Most people think of Beijing as a city, which it is, but the land surrounding the city is also classified as part of Beijing. This amazing road, Hongjing Road, is near the very western edge Beijing and about 2-3 hours drive from the city proper. The weather was beautiful and there was so much to see and do on the way there and back so this trip I took was more than some hairpin turns. There are spectacular views, hiking, historical landmarks and huge underground cave networks to stop and check out on the way. What a great day that was...!
