News from the Beijing Municipal Tourism Committee says that in the next five years, the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, Beijing plans to build tourist leisure trails with an overall length of more than 3000 kilometers. The relevant plans have already been completed.

Under the title of “Beijing Trail Construction Planning”, the tourist leisure trails in Beijing cover 16 districts and counties, mainly focusing on 10 suburban counties. The layouts comprise “Two trail loops”, “Two leisure belts” and “Multi corridors”. “Two trail loops” are capital-based trail loops and the travel leisure trail loops along forest parks, suburban parks, the second isolated green belts, and river systems. “Two leisure belts” are mountain biking sports leisure belts and mountaineering fitness sports leisure belts. “Multi corridors” include river systems along the Yongding River, the Chaobai River, and the Great Canal. They form the waterfront trail loops, and self-driving loops along the scenic byway, thus realizing the connection between loop systems and regional rapid traffic aisles.

According to the introduction, the leisure trails are mainly for walking, but travel modes like riding, rollerblading are also taken into consideration.
