# Baiwang Mountain Forest Park

Located close to the Summer Palace, Baiwang Mountain is probably the best alternative to the Fragrant Hills for people looking to travel somewhere convenient. Being heavily forested and boasting a variety of maple trees from the United States and the Netherlands, the park has been described as a "natural oxygen bar" for its abundance of trees, which turn it into a sea of red leaves in the fall.

Best time for sightseeing: Mid-October to early November
