Ponghe Bay Scenic Area

Ponghe Bay Scenic Area

Ponghe Bay Scenic Area is located in Pongheyan Village, Shicheng Town, Miyun County, at the foot of the Yanshan Mountains, about 120 kilometers from the city center. It is a red tourism destination that combines historical culture, natural ecology, and humanistic landscapes.

“Water comes alive because of the mountains, and the mountains come alive because of the water.” The Baihe River originates from springs in the northwest of the Yanshan Mountain Range, meandering hundreds of miles, complementing the surrounding rugged peaks and lush forests to create a vibrant landscape painting. “Each place has its own way of nurturing its people.” The Baihe River has nourished generations of “Baihe families” who have lived here for centuries, fostering a simple and sincere local culture. The fresh rural atmosphere offers a relaxing return to a primitive way of life.

The scenic area boasts a rich variety of attractions, including the Thousand-Foot Waterfall, Tianchi (Heavenly Lake), Baiyun Lake, Apricot Blossom Pool, Flowing Silver, Pillar in the Midstream, Secluded Pathways, Today’s Terraced Fields, Spring in Full Bloom, Quiet Forests and Serene Waters, River Wetlands, Towering Cliffs, Standing and Reclining Buddha Statues, and Harmonious Coexistence. Each spot evokes beautiful memories and a longing for nature.

The cliffs in the scenic area are as if carved by knives and axes, with dappled tree shadows. The Thousand-Foot Baiyun Waterfall plunges abruptly down the sheer cliff, cascading straight down. Looking up at the waterfall, the pool below holds no ordinary water, and the falls resemble drifting clouds of white. Let your imagination roam with the scenery — a thousand graceful forms dance in your heart, free and unrestrained.
