Baihe Country Park

Baihe Country Park

Destination Introduction

Situated within the Baihe Scenic Area in Miyun County, over 70 kilometers from the city center. It is a multifunctional comprehensive amusement park that combines water recreation, country vacations, sightseeing, horseback archery, and fishing. The park features beautiful natural scenery, with Biyun Lake stretching from north to south, a forest coverage rate of 65.3%, and water areas covering 40 hectares. The park is adjacent to the Miyun International Amusement Park and faces the Bashu Cultural Park on the opposite bank of the river.

Baihe Amusement Park was the first area in the Baihe Scenic Area to open to the public after it was designated as a municipal-level tourist resort. It is divided into several sections: Biyun Lake Entertainment, Moon Lake Scenery, Horseback Archery, and Country Vacations.

Biyun Lake is formed on the old course of the Baihe River, created by the first dam on the Baihe built using advanced masonry techniques and rubber materials. It is 1,600 meters long and 80 meters wide. The lake offers recreational activities such as speedboats, shaped boats, swimming, water skiing, and sunbathing. Crescent Lake is another large artificial lake in Baihe Amusement Park, covering an area of 10 hectares, named for its crescent shape. The surrounding area is planted with early spring flowering trees and evergreens, reflecting the simple natural scenery and rustic charm of the countryside. The lake also features activities like motorboats, rowing, and spearfishing. To provide more challenging entertainment, the horse racing field has imported robust, fast-running horses from Inner Mongolia. Visitors can ride through the woods and freely shoot at targets themed around historical anecdotes and legends.

In the serene and picturesque woods of the amusement park, there are uniquely designed wooden cabins built with tree bark, as well as treehouse-like pavilions of various shapes. Erliu Fishing Lake, named after two old willow trees in the center of the lake, covers an area of 2 hectares with a depth of 2.5 meters, making it one of the best fishing spots in Miyun County.

Baihe Amusement Park is covered with dense coniferous and broad-leaved forests. The scenic greening belt along the Baihe River, with its pleasant landscape, is one of Beijing’s key greening projects.

Baihe Country Park reconstructed the Grand Princess Mansion in 1985 according to its original layout. The original mansion was located in Dongcheng District and was built in the second year of the Qianlong reign (1737). It served as the residence of Chun, the 24th son of Emperor Kangxi and Prince Cheng. In the eighth year of the Tongzhi reign (1869), it was converted into the residence of Princess Rong’an, the daughter of Emperor Xianfeng, and later bestowed upon Princess Rongshou. As the eldest daughter of Prince Gong, Princess Rongshou was known as the “Grand Princess,” hence the name “Grand Princess Mansion.” The mansion now covers an area of 21,000 square meters with over 130 rooms, divided into five courtyards: the Gate Hall, Main Hall, Bedroom Gate, Bedroom Hall, and Rear Building. It currently houses the Miyun County Museum, which regularly hosts exhibitions such as the “Miyun County Revolutionary Struggle Historical Exhibition” and the “Miyun County Historical Relics Exhibition.” Transportation Information
