Beijing Seismic Benchmark Station

　　Destination Introduction
　　The Beijing Seismic Benchmark Station is located in Baijiatuan in the western suburbs of Beijing. Since 1957, starting from the International Geophysical Year, it has been conducting formal observations and recordings of earthquakes and geomagnetism. As a first-class fundamental station in the national seismic network under the China Earthquake Administration, the Beijing Station is equipped with various observation methods including seismology, geomagnetism, gravity, earth tilt, geothermal activity, water level, atmospheric potential, and electromagnetic waves. It serves as an important base for seismic observation and geophysical experiments in China, and is also one of the main stations involved in international seismic and geomagnetic data compilation and exchange.

　　　　Visitors can observe the dynamic changes of the Earth being recorded on-site, browse rich and detailed audiovisual and pictorial materials, and even directly witness the recorder’s response during ground shaking through interactive operation.

　　　　Through visits, lectures, and consultations, you can learn about the development of China's earthquake science, psychological adjustment during earthquakes, and the correct self-rescue and mutual aid methods before and after seismic events—thus mastering effective earthquake prevention measures. The Beijing Seismic Benchmark Station also functions as a science education base.
