Longxian Palace in Fangshan

Introduction: The Longxian Palace tourist attraction is located in Longquansi Gully, Dongguan Village, Zhangfang Town, Fangshan District, Beijing, separated by a ridge from Xianqi Cave. The cave entrance sits at an altitude of 510 meters. It is 100 kilometers from downtown Beijing, 15 kilometers north of the First Crossing in the Shidu Scenic Area, and can be reached by getting off at Sanhezhuang Station on the Beijing-Yuanping Railway and heading 2 kilometers north. Outside the cave, there are undulating mountain ranges and abrupt peaks; in spring, birds sing and flowers bloom, in summer, the mountains are lush green, in autumn, golden fruits and red leaves abound, and in winter, the landscape is covered in white snow. Longxian Palace covers an area of 10,000 square meters, making it the largest cave hall in North China. The mountain is composed of flint-band dolomite and algal laminated limestone, formed around 1 billion years ago in shallow seas and coastal areas. The cave hall was formed 70 million years ago. After nearly 10 million years of chemical deposition, it has developed uniquely vivid and picturesque wonders such as Dragon Eggs, Source of Life, Sea Dog Guarding the Cave, Lotus Throne, Immortal Water Soaking Pearls, Golden Lotus Garden, Nine Heavens Silver Waterfall, Golden Jellyfish, and Dragon Palace Crystal. Especially precious are the palm-like stalagmites and squirrel fossils, which are unique to North China. Fangshan’s cedars and northern landscapes further highlight the resplendent beauty of the Dragon Palace. Visitors find themselves in a colorful, majestic, and dazzling fairyland temple.
