Fruit Tree Eco-Technology Demonstration Park

Destination Introduction

The Fruit Tree Eco-Technology Demonstration Park in Yanqing County is situated 7 kilometers northeast of the county town and 2.5 kilometers from the Longqing Gorge tourist area. It spans 1,100 mu and, in accordance with standardized production standards, is geared toward the experimental demonstration of premium, unique, and new varieties as well as tourism and fruit-picking activities. The park grows over 70 varieties across five main tree types—grapes, plums, pears, peaches, and apricots—with an annual output of 500,000 kilograms of high-quality fruit. Relying on major scientific research institutions and universities in Beijing, the park has promoted a series of green fruit production technologies and obtained safety certification for edible agricultural products from Beijing. The development of this base has helped elevate the overall quality of fruit production in Yanqing County.

Reception Capacity and Supporting Facilities

The park employs over 50 technical staff, including 3 senior agronomists, 11 agronomists, and 40 assistant agronomists. In 2002, through the collective efforts of all employees, the park was designated as a Science Popularization Demonstration Base by the Beijing Association for Science and Technology. In 2003, it was awarded the title of Beijing Standardized Construction Excellent Unit, and in 2004, it was listed as an "Organic Fruit Demonstration Park" by the Fruit Tree Division of the Beijing Forestry Bureau. The park has become the first high-tech, high-quality fruit production demonstration base in Yanqing County, as well as a training base for the Beijing Senior University.
