Shenquan Gorge Scenic Area

Shenquan Gorge Scenic Area

Shenquan Gorge Scenic Area is located in Tancang Village, Miaofengshan Town, Mentougou District, Beijing, covering an area of approximately 15 square kilometers. Themed around landscape and pastoral scenery, it integrates fruit picking, hiking, picnicking, and leisure activities. It is adjacent to several tourist attractions including the Lingxi Eco-Education Corridor, Longshui Lake Water World, Shenquan Gorge Scenic Area, Huangtai Cherry Orchard, Weidian Hundred-Fruit Garden, the ancient village of Chanfang, and the Sino-Finnish Eco Valley with an investment of 10 euros that has been contracted. Shenquan Gorge Scenic Area echoes the famous Miaofeng Mountain in the distance. The canyon twists and turns, the river is deep and emerald green, the cliffs are steep, and the forests are dense, showcasing the majestic beauty of northern landscapes. Springs and gullies crisscross the area, with spring water converging and flowing downward—hence the name “Shenquan” (Divine Spring)—which eventually flows into the Yongding River.

The scenic area features beautiful mountain forest scenery and abundant spring water resources. Here, the mountains are lush, the valleys deep, and the streams babble gently. The unique volcanic rock geological formations have created many extraordinary landscapes. Legend has it that an ancient camel bell road once crossed the West Pass leading to the Bashang Grassland beyond the Great Wall. Streams within the scenic area flow year-round, forming numerous ponds and dams suitable for visitors to explore and fish.

Scenic spots within the area include: Hundred-Mu Garden, Luoluo Stone, General Stone, Red Stone Valley, Lava Platform, Camel Cliff, Immortal Cliff, Immortal Pool, Beida Lake, Shimen (Stone Gate), Red Stone Spring, Red Stone Wall, Stone Hudu Cave, Ancient Plank Road, One-Line Sky, Goddess Peak, and Shenquan (Divine Spring). In recent years, the Miaofengshan Town government has focused on eco-tourism development and has launched tourism projects such as the Ten-Thousand-Mu Project, China Hundred-Jujube Garden, Thousand-Mu Cherry Orchard, Ostrich Farming Sightseeing Park, Thousand-Mu Jingbai Pear Base, Thousand-Mu Gaishi Base, and Thousand-Mu Apricot Flat Base, creating a distinctive scene where “mountains on all sides are picturesque, and flowers can be enjoyed every day of the year.”
