Xiangshui Lake Scenic Area

Xiangshui Lake Scenic Area is an exceptional resort in suburban Beijing, boasting the places of interest like the Great Wall, ancient caves, mountains and rivers, springs, waterfalls, and stone inscriptions carved in the Ming Dynasty. The name Xiangshui Lake does not come from the large expanse of water surface, but the thundering spring, which can be heard about 1000 meters away. It is the largest spring in Huairou, serving as the source of drinking water for the folks nearby. It is also one of the sources of the Huairou Reservoir. It lets out 0.3 cubic meters of water per second with the daily flow capacity of 25,937 tons. The water is sweet and refreshing.

"Xiangshui Waterfall", 24 meters in width, has a drop height of 50 meters. Li Bai has a poem that eulogizes the Lushan Waterfall. There are two lines in it: "Its torrent dashes down three thousand feet from high, as if the Milky Way fell from the azure sky." I think the two waterfalls are comparable in beauty. In winter, the natural "Ice Curtain Cave" is breathtakingly beautiful.
