Fenghuangling (Phoenix Mountain)

Fenghuangling (Phoenix Mountain) is located inside the West Hill Farm of Sujiatuo in Haidian District, Beijing. It is 30 kilometers (more than 18 miles) from central Beijing. The park boasts a well-conserved ecological environment: green hills, clear water, queer rocks, vast forests, exotic flowers and rare trees. The park has flowers in three seasons and presents magnificent views all the year round. It is an ideal place for spring outing, summer escape, autumn fruit tasting and winter snow appreciation. In total there are more than 40 scenic spots in the park. Green hills, clear water, blue sky, white clouds, rolling ridges, thick forests, winding trails, exotic flowers and rare trees. Being windward to the city of Beijing, it is regarded as a green lung for the capital city.

While water in the park is superb in quality, air is fresh, being five times purer and containing 150-fold more anions than in the downtown area. Among the grotesque peaks of diverse shapes are the soul-stirring Shennu Peak and the majestic Lion Hill. The queer rocks resemble the moon in the sky, or the stone monkey playing with the heaven, or the privately chatting sweethearts, or the footprint of the immortal. The vast forests boast of towering ancient pines and ginkgos as well as peach gardens, apricot gardens and apple gardens. The springs contain rich minerals and taste sweet, being famous far and wide. The park has flowers in three seasons and presents magnificent views all the year round. It is an ideal place for spring outing, summer escape, autumn fruit tasting and winter snow appreciation.
