Lipao Red Apple Sightseeing Park

Lipao Red Apple Sightseeing Park

Destination Introduction

Located at the foot of the world-famous Badaling Great Wall, this place enjoys convenient transportation. In recent years, the village has leveraged nearby attractions such as the Badaling scenic area, Kangxi Grassland, Wild Duck Lake, and Sunshine Equestrian Club. Gradually, they have developed a 1,000-acre apple orchard into a standardized production base, forming a distinctive Red Fuji apple resort on the outskirts of Beijing.

Focusing on industrial development, the village has worked to enhance the quality of the base from the perspective of modern orchard management. They have raised over 4.6 million yuan to install more than 30,000 meters of fencing, over 5,000 meters of protective netting, renovate and pave over 10,000 meters of main roads within the park, lay more than 18,000 meters of underground water pipes, and install 20 solar-powered insecticidal lamps. These efforts have gradually met the requirements for green and pollution-free production, earning the park green food safety certification in 2003.

Badaling Lipao Village is a long-established fruit-growing area in our county. In recent years, the village Party branch has made full use of its proximity to tourist attractions. Initially, villagers sold their fruit at these sites, then attracted buyers to the village, and eventually developed tourism, sightseeing, and fruit-picking activities. The village now has 1,000 acres of Red Fuji apples, producing 3 million pounds of high-quality, pollution-free apples annually, along with 100 acres of premium grapes yielding 300,000 pounds per year. The village’s Red Fuji, Beidou, and other apple varieties have won multiple awards at the Golden Autumn Fruit Festival. The picking season runs from July to the end of October.

While strengthening industrial infrastructure, the village has also integrated "two civilizations" development by improving the living environment. They have planted over 3,500 trees, flowers, and plants, laid 1,000 square meters of lawn, and renovated an 8,000-square-meter cultural square. This enhanced environment has promoted the growth of folk tourism and orchard sightseeing and picking industries.

Special Notes

In 2002, the village registered the “Lipao” brand trademark and obtained Beijing’s edible agricultural product safety certification. In 2003, it was designated as a “Rural Science Popularization Demonstration Base” by the Municipal Science and Technology Association and was awarded the title of “Beijing Advanced Unit of Agricultural Standardization.” Today, Lipao Village has become a comprehensive resort base that combines leisure, entertainment, sightseeing, and fruit picking, leveraging its fruit production advantages.
