Trashing the path less trodden

One of the best things about spring in Beijing is the number of hiking options just a short car ride away.

Picture taking in the refreshing panorama of the Huairou and Miyun reservoirs, or winding along the relaxing paths of the Western Hills - what better way to help heal the stress built up from another intense workweek?

As such, The Great Wall must count as the top choice for many weekend hikers because of its endless array of trekking possibilities.
