Huangtukan Tribute Pear Sightseeing and Picking Park

Huangtukan Tribute Pear Sightseeing and Picking Park

Destination Introduction

The Huangtukan Tribute Pear Sightseeing and Picking Park is located in Bulagutun Town, Miyun County, centered around the Huangtukan area. The park covers an area of 12,000 mu, with 600,000 pear trees planted and an annual output of over 5 million kilograms, ranking first among suburban areas in Beijing.

The park lies at the northern foot of Yunfeng Mountain on the northern shore of the Miyun Reservoir, covering Huangtukan Village, Yanluo Village, Zhuanshanzi Village, and others, with a total area of 12,000 mu. It has 480,000 fruit trees, and about 70% of the orchard area is in full fruit-bearing stage, yielding around 6.5 million kilograms annually. According to tests by the National Food Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, the content of trace elements such as zinc, selenium, and potassium, as well as refractive sugar, is significantly higher than the average for pears. The pears offer high antioxidant properties and possess unique, premium quality.

The reputation of "Hometown of Tribute Pears" is well deserved. In 2000, it received the Beijing “Safe Food Certification,” and in 2003, it was listed as a Beijing Agricultural Standardization Production Base. The pears were also showcased at the first China (Beijing) Sand Industry Expo and awarded the title “Famous and High-Quality Product.” The 2002 and 2003 “Tribute Pear Hometown” Autumn Harvest Festivals achieved great success. In 2003, approximately 1.5 million yuan was invested to build a 6,000-square-meter parking lot, a 500-meter sightseeing path, and 3,000 meters of gravel forest trails. Ten sightseeing pavilions were constructed within the park, along with a wisteria trellis representing spring blossoms and autumn fruits, office buildings, dining facilities, and public toilets. In 2004, the sightseeing path was extended into a loop, the wisteria trellis was lengthened into a “ten-li corridor,” and a beautiful bamboo-style gate was added at the western end. Gravel paths were built between the pavilions, forming a cohesive sightseeing loop. Three large 6x27-meter promotional billboards were installed in the parking area, highlighting the cultural essence of “pear culture.” Signboards and display windows introduce the construction and management of the standardized production base. A 7,000 m³ water reservoir was built in the core area. The duck pear irrigation project is currently under construction.

The main produce of the picking park is pears, supplemented by chestnuts, apples, and walnuts. Activities include picking, sightseeing, tourism, accommodation, and dining. The sightseeing park can accommodate over 1,000 visitors daily and offers lodging. After sightseeing and picking, visitors can explore the Chaosheng Temple at Yunfeng Mountain, the Jixiang Temple at Taohua Temple, and the ten-thousand-mu pine forest at Gushiyu. The ancient Yunfeng Mountain features rugged rocks, and from its summit, visitors can enjoy views of the vast pear orchards, the entire Miyun Reservoir, and the expansive grasslands.

All the above tourist attractions have been certified, so you can visit with peace of mind. Special Notes

Huangtukan duck pears have been cultivated since the Ming Dynasty, boasting a history of over 600 years. By the Qing Dynasty, they were designated as the “King of Pears” by Emperor Qianlong and selected as tribute fruit. The Huangtukan duck pear is large in size, with golden-yellow skin, thick and crisp flesh, and a sweet, mellow flavor. When stored in a cellar, its aroma becomes even more intense, with fragrance that wafts for miles. Transportation Information

The Chaosheng Temple behind the mountain is quaint and renowned both domestically and abroad. Huasi Book Fan from Taiwan invested in its reconstruction in 2003, giving it a completely renewed look. The Jixiang Temple at Taohua Temple was rebuilt by Master Haihong between 2003 and 2004 and opened to the public on October 1, 2004. The mountain is pleasant, and the temple stands majestically, offering great views. The ten-thousand-mu secondary pine forest in Gushiyu presents a unique scene in late autumn and early winter—vast green seas dotted with red leaves from oak trees, set against the blue sky. Below the mountain, crystal-clear streams enhance the fresh air. There are also leisure resorts such as Shengshui Villa and Sunshine Villa, integrating dining, accommodation, entertainment, and fishing.
