Bailinguan Scenic Area

Bailinguan Scenic Area

The Bailinguan Scenic Area is situated 128 kilometers from Beijing. It centers around the renowned “Bailinguan” section of the Great Wall and stretches across the Yanshan Mountain Range at an elevation of 916 meters. From atop Bailinguan, one can look north to admire the sweeping views of the northern landscape; gaze east to behold the famous “First Peak of Eastern Beijing,” Wuling Mountain, as well as the mountain ranges to its south; or face west toward the Simatai Great Wall. The magnificence of the scenery here defies ordinary description—visitors are left only with a sense of joy and liberation. The scenic spots within the area are densely distributed yet not crowded, and sparsely placed without feeling scattered. The Bailinguan Pass is a gate along this stretch of the Great Wall, while Dogskin Ridge lies to the east of the pass, situated in a precipitous location. East Cavern Mountain stands to the west of Bailinguan, and Lover’s Stone is located on the eastern peak, resembling a pair of lovers in its rocky form. Other attractions include Beast Mountain, Bear Roar Rock, White Dragon Playing with Water, Crocodile Rock, and Dolphin Rock, where the natural environment complements the Great Wall scenery in perfect harmony.
