Yunmeng Sanyu Scenic Area

Yunmeng Sanyu Scenic Area

The Sanyu Scenic Area is located 15 kilometers west of Miyun County. With its spectacular peaks, beautiful waters, wild sections of the Great Wall, and elements of Bashu culture, the area boasts a diverse range of scenic features. The Sanyu Scenic Area consists of three valleys: Niupenyu, Shitangyu, and Baidaoyu. The main valley, Niupenyu, features crystal-clear waters, unique peaks, towering cliffs with hanging waterfalls, murmuring streams, and birdsong. Ancient sections of the Great Wall lie sprawled across the mountaintops, creating a breathtaking landscape. The area includes attractions such as the Cave of Ten Thousand Pigeons, Ape Group Peak, Towering Cliff, Twin Pools Waterfall, Divine Turtle Guarding the Pool, Floating Stone Boat, and Underground Caves. Shitangyu combines lakes, pools, and waterfalls into one scenic experience. Its terraced lake covers an area of 40 acres, separated by an arched dam, with a significant water level drop that forms an artificial waterfall. Connected to it is the Unicorn Dragon Pool, where water flows into the pool from a 5-meter-wide, 100-meter-long gorge like a dragon in motion. Baidaoyu is characterized mainly by its sections of the Great Wall, with steep, rugged peaks resembling the stone forests of southern China. Major attractions include Mengliang Fort, Hanging Spring Cave, and Immortal Cave. When visiting Shitangyu, be sure to see the “Misaligned Great Wall,” as this is an authentic section of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall. This stretch is 200 meters long, double-walled, and features observation platforms, battlements, and enemy towers, yet it stands alone, unconnected to other segments of the Great Wall.
