Shuguyu Mountain

Shuguyu Mountain

Shuguyu Mountain is a historic, picturesque, and temple-dotted Buddhist site of great influence since ancient times. Also known as "Shuguyu Rejuvenation" or "Early Spring in Shuguyu," it is one of the Eight Scenic Views Outside Miyun City. It is situated at the southern end of the southern branch of the Yanshan Mountain Range, 7.5 kilometers south of the urban area, on the east side of the Shunmi Highway, at the junction of Shunyi and Miyun Districts, 60 kilometers from Beijing, 50 kilometers from the Capital International Airport, and 3 kilometers from the Beijing-Chengde Expressway. The mountain stretches from east to west, featuring low mountain terrain throughout, embraced by mountains on three sides, with shaded valleys and gullies, gentle slopes averaging below 30°, a main peak at 508.8 meters, and an elevation ranging approximately from 400 to 800 meters.

Shuguyu Mountain has a forest coverage rate of over 70%, with major plant species including ancient cypresses, Chinese pines, ginkgo trees, peach and plum trees, and various other flowering plants—totaling over 100 varieties. Tens of thousands of lush ancient cypresses, Chinese pines, and other coniferous and broadleaf trees create a dense forest canopy. Among them, there is a 2,000-year-old ginkgo tree and an 800-year-old ginkgo tree that stand tall, adding a mystical charm to the mountain. The green vegetation coverage exceeds 90%, offering a naturally beautiful and cool environment. The climate is temperate continental, with an average annual precipitation of about 660 mm. Summers are rainy with predominantly southerly winds, and the annual average temperature is 12°C, about 3°C lower than Beijing, making it a pleasant summer retreat.

In March 2003, after being restored with personal funding by Zhang Yiwang, the Shuguyu Mountain Natural Scenic Area covers a total area of 667,000 square meters, with a planned total investment of 100 million yuan and actual investment of 50 million yuan. The following scenic spots have been restored and constructed: Shuguyu Rejuvenation, Ruyi Pagoda, God of Wealth Hall, Mountain Gate, Guanyin Hall, Dragon King Temple, Wang’er Mountain, Xunshan Temple, and more than 30 other attractions.

The restored Shuguyu Mountain Natural Scenic Area has become even more beautiful, with towering ancient trees and the sounds of birds and fragrant flowers. In spring, mountain flowers bloom in vibrant colors, full of vitality; in summer, wild apricots all over the mountain are mouthwatering; in autumn, the mountain foliage turns golden, and wild jujubes, peaches, walnuts, and chestnuts are ready for picking; in winter, the snow-covered landscape contrasts magnificently with the red temples. The sounds of bells, drums, and Buddhist music echo through the mountains, evoking a sense of timeless serenity, as if one has entered another world. With seasonal themes, four large-scale tourism events are launched each year. Shuguyu Mountain will become the largest tourist attraction in Miyun District and a rare and worthwhile destination in the suburbs of Beijing.
