The Hundred Miles Landscape Gallery is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

Beijing Yanqing’s Hundred Miles Landscape Gallery is located in Qianjiadian Town in the northeast of Yanqing District, at the core of the Yanqing Ecological Conservation Area. Covering a total area of 371 square kilometers, it is 40 kilometers from the county seat and 110 kilometers from downtown Beijing. It borders Huairou District to the east, Hebei Province’s Chicheng County to the north, and is connected to Xiangying, Liubinqiao, and Zhenzhuquan three townships to the southwest and southeast respectively. The Luan Chi, Hua Qian, and Hua Sha roads pass through the town forming a loop, making transportation convenient. In 2007, it was ranked first among the top ten best self-driving routes in Beijing. On September 17, 2010, approved by the National Tourism Administration and the National Tourism Attractions Quality Rating Committee, it became Beijing’s first large-scale national AAAA-level tourist attraction that encompasses the entire township area, achieving a unified “town and scenery” experience.

The scenic area includes one loop, three zones, and twelve spatial nodes, covering a riverside loop of 112 li (approximately 56 kilometers), hence the name “Hundred Miles Landscape Gallery.” The area features an outstanding ecological environment and abundant tourism resources. The picturesque Baihe River Valley and the majestic Heihe River Gorge nurture magical petrified wood clusters, spectacular dripping waterfalls, the mysterious Wulong Gorge, the solemn Chaoyang Temple, the ancient Guan Di Temple, and the lush Datan Primeval Secondary Forest, among other rich tourist attractions. The climate is semi-humid within the warm temperate continental monsoon zone, with abundant negative oxygen ions in the air, an average annual temperature of 8°C, and an average annual precipitation of 477.2 millimeters. The four seasons present picturesque scenery, making it a true summer retreat and a green oxygen bar. There are currently six major scenic areas including the petrified wood cluster, Wulong Gorge, Dripping Water Pot, Chaoyang Temple, Dragon King Temple, and Guan Di Temple, as well as 18 rural tourism reception villages such as Xiushuiwan, Changshouling, Gujiayao, and Xiawan, along with numerous geological science and natural cultural landscapes including Little Kunlun Mountain, Shujian Peak, marine sedimentary relics, Caimugou Paleolithic Site, Wenchang Stele, Datan Nature Reserve, thousand-mu sunflower sea, ten-thousand-mu scutellaria tea plantation, and Yan Mountain Academy painting base.

Among them, the Beijing Yanqing Petrified Wood National Geological Park is the main body and an important component of the Hundred Miles Landscape Gallery. It is the first comprehensive national geological park in China featuring typical, rare, and precious petrified wood clusters as the main attraction, integrating sightseeing, leisure vacation, and scientific education. Since its inauguration on September 6, 2002, it has been successively recognized as one of the first National Land Resources Science Education Bases, a National Science Education Base, a Beijing Geological Relics Nature Reserve, a Beijing Cultural Relics Protection Unit, and a Capital Civilized Tourist Attraction.
