Qingjiang Jiulongtan
The Sidu Qingjiang Jiulongtan Scenic Area (Kabri Rock Outdoor Sports Base) is located in Sidaling Village, Fangshan District, Beijing. It borders Hebei Province to the southwest and lies on the northeastern side of the northern extension of the Taihang Mountains, in the mountainous region of the northwestern North China Plain. The scenery here is picturesque, like a dreamy poem. The Juma River flows with crystal-clear, undulating waves, twisting and turning as if it were a dragon. Along both banks of the river, one side features peculiar peaks and exquisite rock formations that are both rugged and beautiful, while the other side has soft, pale-yellow sandy beaches. You can have a picnic, camp overnight, play in the water, enjoy beach volleyball, or climb through the One-Line Sky (Yixiantian). Inside the One-Line Sky, you’ll find Screen Rock, the Fairy Peak atop the valley, ancient wall ruins, the legendary imperial-sealed Dragon-Taming Tree, and millennia-old rare flowers and plants that offer a glimpse into ancient times. At the valley’s entrance, the water of Longtan (Dragon Pool) has a unique microclimate—when the wind blows, it creates water columns several meters high, resembling a dragon rising from the water, a truly rare sight. This area also serves as a filming location for movies and TV dramas. The colorful natural landscape invites you to reconnect with nature. Once you visit, you’re sure to experience the charm described as “the scenery of Sidu is like poetry and painting, a small Jiangnan in the north.”
The Sidu Qingjiang Jiulongtan Scenic Area (Kabri Rock Outdoor Sports Base) has a warm temperate, semi-humid continental climate, characterized by mild winters and cool summers. The annual average temperature is 11.2°C, and the annual average precipitation is 687.5 mm. The climate here is pleasant, and the water quality is excellent. As the Juma River flows through the area, the air has relatively high humidity, and the atmospheric quality is top-notch, meeting first-class air quality standards. The air is rich in negative oxygen ions, earning it the reputation of a “natural oxygen warehouse and natural air conditioner.” Being far from the urban area, it is free from any pollution caused by industrial or mining enterprises. Both the air and water quality are good. Its geographical location is excellent. In the southwest of Beijing, it forms a stunning scenic belt—the picturesque Sidu Scenic Area with its clear mountains and waters. The area boasts abundant biological resources, with vegetation coverage reaching 82%, making it an ideal place for relaxation and spiritual cultivation. The mountains of Sidu are the highest, steepest, and most typical karst peak forest canyons in the northern section of the Taihang Mountain Range. The Juma River originates from deep within the Taihang Mountains, flowing through the range. Though its source is small, just slightly larger than a stream, springs from valleys along both banks of the Juma River contribute to its flow, eventually forming a large river. The direction of the Juma River: its source is in Laishui County, Hebei Province. From there, it flows downstream, following the grand canyons of the Taihang Mountains from west to east, passing through Shidu. From the First Crossing to the North China Plain, during low water levels, it flows into Baiyangdian Lake, and during high water levels, it flows into the Bohai Sea. The Juma River is the only unpolluted river in North China.
