Phoenix Ridge in Beijing

Phoenix Ridge in Beijing is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

The Phoenix Ridge Nature Scenic Area in Beijing is located in Niegezhuang Township, Haidian District, 33 kilometers from Tiananmen Square, covering a total area of 17.88 square kilometers.

The scenic area features unspoiled natural beauty: green mountains and clear waters, blue skies and white clouds, layered peaks covered in lush forests, winding paths through dense woods, and a wide variety of rare flowers and plants spread across the hillsides. With its excellent ecological environment, it is known as the “green lung” of the capital. The area enjoys high-quality water, fresh air with purification purity five times that of the urban district and negative oxygen ion content more than 150 times higher. Relative humidity from April to October is 58%, and average temperatures in spring and autumn are around 23°C.

The scenic area is honored as the “Little Huangshan of Western Beijing.” Its natural landscapes include “unique peaks,” “peculiar rocks,” “sea of forests,” and “divine springs.” “Unique peaks”: Various majestic peaks compete in splendor, such as the moving Goddess Peak and the imposing Lion Peak. “Peculiar rocks”: A forest of oddly shaped rocks that are both lifelike and imaginative, such as a jade rabbit hovering in the sky, a stone monkey playing with the heavens, and lovers whispering, presenting countless postures. “Sea of forests”: Ancient pines, cypresses, and ginkgos tower into the sky; peach, apricot, and apple orchards create a world of woodland beauty, ideal for sightseeing and self-picking. “Divine springs”: Rich in minerals, sweet and refreshing, these springs are top-quality and renowned far and wide. The scenic area offers flowers in three seasons and scenery in all four: spring features “Peach and Apricot Blossom Seas” and “Spring Views by Yiqiao Bridge”; summer has “Silver Cascades” and “White Waterfalls Like Curtains”; autumn showcases “Deep Autumn Red Leaves” and “Fragrance of Golden Fruits”; winter presents “Snow-Covered Layered Peaks” and “White Jade Hanging Upside Down.” It is an ideal destination for spring outings, summer retreats, autumn fruit viewing, and winter snow scenery.

The scenic area features rich cultural landscapes. There are numerous sites, relics, and remains of religious cultures such as Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, as well as ancient Eastern wellness culture, all with profound historical significance. These blend harmoniously with the natural landscapes to form over forty scenic spots along the southern, central, and northern routes. The central route centers around the ancient Longquan Temple. Walking along the mountain, you can explore sites of ancient Eastern wellness culture, the charmingly legendary Yinnliang Pavilion, and Beijing’s largest cliff carving “Phoenix Ridge.” The southern route is centered around Huangpu Temple (Sacred Water Temple), one of the “Eight Great Water Temples of Western Beijing” from the time of Emperor Zhangzong of Jin, featuring Beijing’s largest stone pagoda, the Diamond Pagoda, the oldest Buddhist statue, the Northern Wei Stone Buddha, the picturesque Lüzu Cave, and the remnants of the once-flourishing ancient incense trail (the “Old North Route” to Miaofeng Mountain). The northern route is known for its spectacular peaks, peculiar rocks, beautiful waters, and mysterious caves, including the “Heavenly Ladder” as perilous as Huashan, the mysterious and deep Ancient Ape Cave, the renowned “Divine Spring” and “Curtain Waterfall.”
