Pinggu Jinshan
Jinshan, located 12 kilometers north of Jinhai Lake in Pinggu County, a suburban area of Beijing, is the region in Pinggu richest in gold deposits, hence its name. The flat and expansive summit of Jinshan Mountain, known as Laogai, sits at an elevation of 917 meters. In summer and autumn, the mountain slopes are covered with bright yellow wildflowers, creating a stunningly vibrant landscape. Beneath the mountain lies gold ore, making this truly a scenic and auspicious place blessed by nature, hence the saying “Laogai’s Yellow Flowers.” The Ten Scenic Spots of Jinshan include: the Two Springs of Jieshi Mountain, General Pass, Jinshan’s Unique Peaks, Golden Monkey Flat Summit, Laogai’s Yellow Flowers, Ancient Ink on High Cliffs, Heaven’s Slit, Three Maidens of Cave Water, Ancient Trees of Clear Stream, and Dripping Moss.
