Miyun Pearl Lake Scenic Area

Miyun Pearl Lake Scenic Area

Miyun Pearl Lake Scenic Area is a national AA-level tourist attraction.

Pearl Lake was formed by the construction of the Zhwo Reservoir on the Yongding River. It earned its name due to the abundance and large size of freshwater mussels growing in the lake. The steep mountains on both sides of the lake are covered with moss and blooming wildflowers in vibrant colors during summer and autumn. The crystal-clear lake water is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, towering mountains, and tree shadows resting gently upon it, resembling a natural landscape painting. The lake is ideal for boating, fishing, and shrimp catching, making it a shining pearl nestled within the Yongding River canyon in western Beijing. The lake is teeming with aquatic life, offering great opportunities for fishing enthusiasts. Traveling upstream along the lake leads to a natural village called Xinghua Village. The village is home to over a hundred apricot blossom trees, which bloom vibrantly every spring, adding another beautiful sight to Pearl Lake.
