Badaling National Forest Park, situated between the Badaling Great Wall and Juyongguan in Beijing, is a haven for nature lovers. The park boasts an impressive diversity of flora and fauna, with 539 plant species and 158 animal species. Its forest greening rate is a remarkable 96%, creating a lush and vibrant environment.
The park’s main scenic areas include the Hongyeling Scenic Area, Qinglonggu Scenic Area, Dingxianggu Scenic Area, and Shixia Scenic Area. The park is particularly known for its stunning red leaves set against the backdrop of the ancient Great Wall and the Wanglong series of scenic spots. Other valuable landscape resources include Syringa reticulata var. amurensis, apricot blossoms, and pear blossoms.
Within the park, you can find the ‘herringbone’ railway, a historical engineering marvel built by Zhan Tianyou. The park’s high altitude, averaging 750 meters, along with the dense forest cover and the ancient Great Wall’s blocking effect, results in temperatures that are consistently 5 degrees cooler than in the urban areas throughout the year. The park is also rich in negative oxygen ions, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a refreshing climate in all seasons.
