Phoenix Ridge, Beijing  Phoenix Ridge is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

The Phoenix Ridge Nature Scenic Area is located in Niegezhuang Township, Haidian District, 33 kilometers from Tiananmen Square, covering a total area of 17.88 square kilometers.

The scenic area boasts natural charm: green mountains and clear waters, blue skies and white clouds, layered verdant peaks, dense forests with winding paths, and a wide variety of rare flowers and plants spread across the hillsides. It enjoys an excellent ecological environment and is known as the “green lung” of the capital. The area features high-quality water, fresh air with a purification purity five times that of urban areas, and negative oxygen ion levels more than 150 times higher than in the city. The relative humidity from April to October is 58%, and the average temperature in spring and autumn is 23°C.

The scenic area is honored as the “Little Huangshan of Western Beijing.” Its natural landscapes include “spectacular peaks,” “peculiar rocks,” “seas of forests,” and “divine springs.” “Spectacular peaks”: Diverse and uniquely shaped, vying in splendor—the Goddess Peak stirs the heart; the Lion Peak sits majestically like a coiled dragon or crouching tiger. “Peculiar rocks”: Numerous uniquely shaped rocks, both lifelike and imaginative—like a jade rabbit soaring through the sky, a stone monkey playing with the heavens, or lovers whispering secretly, displaying a myriad of postures. “Seas of forests”: Ancient pines, cypresses, and ginkgo trees tower above; peach, apricot, and apple orchards create a world of woodland beauty, suitable for both sightseeing and self-picking. “Divine springs”: Rich in minerals, sweet and refreshing, these are top-quality springs renowned far and wide. The scenic area offers flowers in three seasons and scenery in all four: in spring, there’s the “Peach and Apricot Blossom Sea” and “Spring Light at Yiqiao”; in summer, the “Silver Ribbon Shattered Jade” and “White Waterfall Curtain”; in autumn, the “Deep Autumn Red Leaves” and “Fragrance of Golden Fruits”; in winter, the “Layered Snowy Peaks” and “White Jade Hanging Upside Down.” It is an ideal destination for spring outings, summer retreats, autumn fruit appreciation, and winter snow viewing.

The scenic area features a rich variety of cultural attractions. There are numerous ruins, relics, and remains of religious cultures such as Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, as well as ancient Eastern wellness culture. With profound cultural heritage, these sites complement the natural landscape, together forming over forty scenic spots along the southern, central, and northern routes. The central route centers around the ancient Longquan Temple. Walking along the mountain, you can visit sites of ancient Eastern wellness culture, the evocative Yinqing Pavilion, and Beijing’s largest cliff carving: “Phoenix Ridge.” The southern route is centered around Huangpu Temple (Sacred Water Temple), one of the “Eight Great Water Temples of Western Beijing” from the time of Emperor Zhangzong of Jin. It includes Beijing’s largest stone pagoda, the “Diamond Pagoda,” the oldest Buddhist statue, the “Northern Wei Stone Buddha,” the picturesque Lüzhu Cave, and the remnants of the once-thriving ancient incense road (the “Old Northern Route” to Miaofeng Mountain). The northern route is known for its spectacular peaks, peculiar rocks, beautiful waters, and mysterious caves. Highlights include the “Heavenly Ladder,” renowned for its Huashan-like danger, the mysterious and deep Ancient Ape Cave, the famous “Divine Spring,” and the “Curtain Waterfall.”
