Live Your Best Lives
For many people in China, when it comes to Beijing's tourist attractions, they essentially think of Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Badaling Great Wall. Indeed, as representatives of ancient Chinese architecture, these sites represent the pinnacle of ancient Chinese architecture, both in terms of history and culture, and in terms of visual beauty. In addition to these masterpieces of human construction, the natural beauty of Beijing also forms an integral part of its tourist attractions.
One of these scenic spots, known as Beijing's "Little Guilin," is renowned for its unique natural scenery. So, what exactly does this scenic spot offer? Come explore it with us.
This is the Shidu Scenic Area, which has a warm temperate semi-humid continental climate, with warm winters and cool summers, an average annual temperature of 11.2°C, and an average annual precipitation of 687.5 mm. The climate here is pleasant and the water quality is excellent. Because the Juma River flows through the area, the relative humidity is high, resulting in excellent air quality, reaching Class A standards. The high concentration of negative oxygen ions in the air has earned it the nickname "natural oxygen chamber and natural air conditioning." Because it is far from the county seat, it is free of pollution from industrial and mining enterprises. The air and water quality are excellent. Its geographical location is excellent. The Shidu Scenic Area, with its picturesque mountains and clear waters, has become a beautiful landscape in southwest Beijing. Rich in biological resources and boasting a vegetation coverage rate of 82%, the scenic area is a perfect place for travelers to cultivate their inner peace and tranquility. The reason Shidu Scenic Area is known as Beijing's "Little Guilin" is naturally due to its stunning natural beauty. While large scenic areas are rare in Beijing, the capital, Shidu Scenic Area defies this stereotype. It not only offers an excellent option for outdoor excursions for Beijing residents, but also brings a refreshing dose of greenery to a region often lacking in natural beauty. Sharing the same beautiful landscapes as Guilin, and featuring similar karst landforms, it truly earns its nickname as Beijing's "Little Guilin." Shidu Scenic Area boasts steep mountains and dense ravines, a uniquely rugged yet magnificent scenery similar to Zhangjiajie. While not as well-known or as diverse as Zhangjiajie, the two offer equally stunning visual beauty, with neither surpassing the other. Let's explore Shidu Scenic Area's activities, dining, and accommodations.
