Shi Du 十渡

Have you heard about ShiDu 十渡?


We got 3 days of holiday Mid Autumn Festival. And, One of my korean friend, advice us to go to ShiDu. first time I heard about the place was from TingLi books, Shidu is the place where we can go bungee jumping. We bought train ticket, for only 12 RMB. Actually, Shidu is still Beijing. It's on the south part of Beijing. And it's nothing like Beijing City. With only train ticket on hand, we went to Shidu "backpacker style"

Day I : We took train from Beijing West Train Station. On the station, we met a lady who offer place to stay. Actually, first we a bit scared with the lady. The lady even followed us to the train. And it's not just that lady, many "the same kind" persons, offering place at station and train. After two and half hour, we arrived at ShiDu, in the middle of the night, without light, we decided to follow the lady, because we didn't have any choices.

We thought the Shidu Train Station is like other station, we can easily find taxi. But it's not, it's just a place where you can exit the train, theres no building or anything. It's just road in the middle of corn field. No joking.

We follow the lady and arrived at her house. It's Farm House, with guest house service. Actually the place is really nice, got two rooms that enough for five of us. Got TV and bathroom inside the room. Even have Air Conditioner and Warm Water. And it's only cost us 20 RMB/ person.

The Lady also provide breakfast service for 5 RMB/person. Great.. We also met her husband, who work offering horse riding service at ShiDu.



Day II : After breakfast, we went to GuShanZhai 孤山寨。We took 110 RMB Ticket, which including the tourist attraction, the bamboo raft, speed boat, and HaHaLeYuan, it was small park inside the tourism object.

The best thing is 一线天, it's extremely narrow passage between two cliff.











After that, we visit Tourism Office of Shidu to figure out what we need to do for tomorrow. Have Dinner and went back to our Guest House at night.

Day Three : Went to 拒马乐园 Juma Recreation Park. It's the place for bungee jumping and other recreation activities. We took 100 RMB, including the Cable Car and Boat River Recreation.










Finish playing, we went back home by bus 917 to Beijing. It's one great experiences. Don't need to go so far to enjoy natural sceneries, you can go to ShiDu. 

At Shidu, there are not many foreign tourists there. I think not many foreigner know about ShiDu. All places are filled by local tourists.
