Xiangshan Park

Located in the western suburbs of Beijing, Xiangshan Park is a royal garden with mountain and forest characteristics. The park is lush with trees and many ancient monuments are hidden in the forest. It is a scenic spot and natural oxygen bar in Beijing. The "Xiangshan red leaves all over the sky" in autumn every year is the highlight of the Attraction and is almost known to every household in China.

A good place to enjoy autumn

The red leaves of Xiangshan Mountain are a great place to experience the golden autumn in Beijing. Every year in the golden autumn season, the cotinus coggygria trees all over the mountains become bright red after being baptized by severe frost, dyeing the entire Xiangshan Mountain a fiery red. Among them, Senyuhu, Yuhuaxiu and Langfeng Pavilion are all great places to see the red leaves. After the snow in late autumn, the continuous green mountains are covered with silver, and the white is dotted with patches of red clouds. This is exactly "Clear Snow on the Western Hills", one of the eight scenic spots in old Yanjing.

Admire cultural relics

Xiangshan Park has a history of nearly 900 years. As early as the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the royal family built palaces and courtyards in Xiangshan. In summer and autumn, the emperors would go there to hunt and cool off. There are many cultural relics and historical sites in the park, and pavilions and towers are scattered among the mountains and forests. The "Biyun Temple" is a temple with the architectural styles of the Ming and Qing dynasties; the "Five Hundred Arhats" with wooden gilding, which is rare in China; the "Zongjing Dazhao Temple" that welcomed the Sixth Panchen Lama, and the quaint courtyard "Jianxinzhai" with Jiangnan characteristics, are all places that cannot be missed in addition to the red leaves.

In addition, Shuangqing Villa on the southeast slope of Xiangshan Temple is also a place not to be missed.
