Spirit Valley Scenic Area

Spirit Valley Scenic Area

Spirit Valley Scenic Area is located at the northwest corner of the Miyun Reservoir, a natural secluded valley deep in the mountains. Deep within the greenery lies the famous “Spirit Spring,” whose water is cool and sweet. The mountains are dotted with vividly shaped rock formations, such as the Divine Eagle Peering Forward, the Lion King Emerging, the Golden Toad Playing with the Turtle, and the Four Immortals Facing the Cliff—masterpieces of nature’s artistry, truly breathtaking and miraculous.

Baihe Silver Beach is like a twin sister to Spirit Valley. Just 200 meters opposite the entrance of Spirit Valley lies an 800-meter stretch of white sandy beach. With its pristine white sands and picturesque scenery, it’s a perfect spot for soccer, beach volleyball, and playing in the sand and water.

The rock formations in Spirit Valley are truly one of a kind in the world: along a short 4-li journey, dozens of remarkably lifelike rock formations are scattered across the mountain streams and peaks—the Divine Eagle’s Giant Head, the Spirit Beast, the Old Lion King, the Little Lion King, the Golden Toad Playing with the Turtle, the Frog and Rabbit Stone, the Tortoise and Hare Race, the Old General Appearing Before the Emperor, Sun Wukong Listening to the Decree, and more. This “spirit” world is incredibly vivid and miraculously crafted.

When you first see the “Eagle Beak Rock,” it strikingly resembles a “Picasso” head. Take a few steps and look back—the “Picasso” has transformed into a giant “Divine Eagle.” The protruding cliff directly ahead is the “Lion King” smiling at you, while his little “Simba” lies curled up on the opposing hill, gazing affectionately at his father. On the southern hill, a massive turtle stretches its neck toward the sky, struggling against a toad pressing down on it—this is the famous “Golden Toad Playing with the Turtle.” Turn around, and the rocky cliffs form a gigantic ship—isn’t that the “Titanic”!

The scenic area offers an all-in-one service for dining, accommodation, and activities. The Spirit Valley villas feature a restaurant that accommodates over a hundred people, standard rooms (with air conditioning, color TV, private bathroom, shower, and 24-hour hot water), and star-rated sanitation facilities.

The scenic area provides a variety of recreational facilities: beach volleyball, soccer, fishing boats, kites, billiards, karaoke, table tennis, badminton—you name it. The dining options are also unique, offering a “Scientific and Nutritious Farmhouse Feast.” The salt content is controlled by standard; modern “junk food” is excluded; dishes are prepared according to balanced dietary principles; staple foods follow healthy nutrition guidelines; healthy beverages are promoted; and fresh granite deep mineral “Spirit Spring” water is offered at low prices.
