Kuijiu Valley Scenic Spot

Kuijiu Valley Scenic Spot is located in the northwest mountains of the Thirteen Ming Tombs Scenic Spot of Changping District, about 55 kilometers away from the downtown Beijing. It was opened to the public in 1987. It is a valley-type natural scenic spot.

Stretching about 3,000 meters, the scenic spot belongs to Mountain Jundu Chain. It is the result of the weathering for more than 100 million years of granite stones formed by the movement of Yan Mountains. There are erect cliffs, rare stones, flowing streams, green trees and blooming flowers inside the scenic spot. It can be divided into four parts, namely Music Welcoming Guests, Streams on High Gorge, Wonderland of Golden Gorges and Dragon Pond, including 50 sights. The most featured one is the “Three-Gorges in the north of Beijing” in the Wonderland of Golden Gorges. The first gorge is called “Narrow Sky Gorge”. There is a very narrow crack between the two walls, with a huge stone wedged about 10 meters above head. The second gorge is the so-called “Faerie Fishing Gorge”. The cliffs of the gorge are straight, and there is a pond under the cliffs, with “faerie fishing stage” engraved on a stone beside it. The third gorge is “dragons playing in the water”. The textures on the granites are varied in shapes and bright in colors, dancing on cliffs or plunging into the pond, like dragons playing in the water.

Built in 1998, Kuijiu Valley folk custom village is close to the scenic spot. There are 48 tourist peasant households and 500 beds. The villagers are unsophisticated and hospitable. Shoal paddling field, bonfire evening square, fishing field, parking lot and other accessory service facilities are provided for folk culture activities. Many kinds of fruits are produced here including cherry, apricot, peach, large-fruited Chinese hawthorn, persimmon and Chinese chestnut, etc. In different seasons, tourists can taste more than a hundred potherbs and farmhouse meals. Tourists can also participate in the activities of groping for fish in the river, fishing, barbecue, roasting goat, playing firecrackers, etc.
