Duijiuyu Nature Scenic Area

Duijiuyu Nature Scenic Area is located about 4 kilometers northwest of the Ming Thirteen Tombs. Within its rugged and winding 3-kilometer valley, the area is scattered with exotic flowers and plants, steep peaks, and peculiar rocks, exuding a strong wild charm. The valley is flanked by towering cliffs on both sides, with a stream flowing through the middle, earning it the nickname "Little Three Gorges of North Beijing." The best time to visit is from April to October.

The scenic area is divided into four sections: “Qinqu Meeting Guests,” “High Valley Calm Waters,” “Golden Valley Paradise,” and “Dragon Pool Secluded Valley,” featuring over 50 viewing spots. Starting from the southern entrance of the scenic area, the sound of flowing water in the 3,000-meter-long valley is crisp and delightful, creating an effect as if “echoes linger in the valley for three days.” The High Valley Calm Waters section is truly enchanting. The Golden Valley Paradise features the most captivating landscapes, where the valley alternates between wide and narrow sections. In the wider parts, clear pools dot the landscape with gently flowing water; in the narrower parts, the slopes are steep and the currents swift, with towering cliffs reaching the sky, rivaling the beauty of the Yangtze River's Three Gorges. When visiting the Dragon Pool Secluded Valley, visitors can sit on the smooth rocks by the pool, surrounded by the lofty peaks and exotic flowers and plants all reflected in the mirror-like waters. As the saying goes, “Sit by the Dragon Pool, face the surrounding peaks; to truly appreciate the charm of this place, one must look within the Dragon Pool.”
