Songshan National Forest Park
松山
A national-level nature reserve at the southern foot of Haituo Mountain. It's Beijing's first national nature reserve, with large stands of Chinese pine, streams, and natural hot springs. It's a good place for summer hiking to escape the heat.
Songshan lies at the southern foot of Haituo Mountain in northwest Yanqing. It was Beijing's first national-level nature reserve. Its extensive natural Chinese pine forests, streams, and waterfalls create a cool mountain landscape. Summer temperatures here are several degrees lower than in the city, and the autumn foliage is brilliant. Trails in the open areas lead to the various sights, and there are hot spring resort facilities at the foot of the mountain. Allow half a day. It can be combined with Guyaju and Yudu Mountain. Follow fire safety rules when entering the reserve.
