There is no train from Beijing to the mountain scenic area, but there are train to laiyuan county. There are two trains available, one leaving from Beijing West at 17:45, and the travel time is about 5 hours. The other leaves from Beijing Railway Station at 17:17, and the travel time is 3.5 hours. And the mountain is only around 15km from Laiyuan. You can take a taxi to reach thereafter.
You can choose to live in the Baishisha Hotel, which is quite ear the scenic area, Baihsishan Nongjiayuan is also a good choice. Upon your arrival, you can also live in local people’s house, and most of them provides rooms for visitors, and the prices is a bit cheaper than hotels.
