Description Suggest change

This is a good area with a variety of climbs from slab to overhang and at least one multi-pitch.

WARNING:
There have been previous problems with the locals hassling climbers and chopping bolts (if you have never left downtown BJ, this is the real China). Check with local climbers at BJ climbing walls/shops for current conditions, fees being charged. Don't let this scare you away from BaiHe, this is a great area with a lot of climbs within walking distance. Locals commonly charge you to climb on public land they do not own, but claim to, what you are actually paying them to do is not hassle you since they do not have anything better to do that day.

The nearest town (with an inn) is about 2 miles before you get to the area. There is a specific climbers hostel; nothing special but they know exactly where the climbing areas are located and can drive you there for 10 RMB.

Getting There Suggest change

By private car/chartered van:

In a private or chartered vehicle, it takes about one hour and forty five minutes to arrive to Baihe from the center of Beijing. First take the highway to MiYun, then head towards HeiLongXia. The Baihe climbing area begins right after HeilongXia. The first crag you hit is one of the most developed, Bee Gorge.

Note, if you are about 7 people, you can expect a reasonable price for a morning drop-off and evening return BJ-Baihe-BJ to cost about 100 kuai per person.

Refer to the map function of this page for specific crag locations!

By public transport:
You can take a public bus from XiZhiMen to MiYun and then get a minivan to drive you to the climbs for about 50 RMB each way. So you don't absolutely need to charter your own van from Beijing. Note, do not take a local taxi from Miyun, they are much more expensive. Look for the minivans at the bus station.
