Shangzhuang Reservoir is renowned as a mecca for wild fishing, barbecues and camping for Beijingers. Located in Shangzhuang Village, about 30km northwest of Beijing downtown, Shuangzhuang Reservoir is the closest reservoir to Beijing. Both the north and south banks are accessible to tourists, however, due to the difficult road conditions, the north bank is relatively quiet and there are usually just a few visitors there.

The south bank of the reservoir is comparatively flat and suitable for outdoor BBQing. The willow trees provide a pleasant shade for tourists to escape the heat. The south bank is complete with a package service by local residents, making it very convenient for holidaymakers to enjoy the fun of fishing and grilling. And with the development of the self-driving tour, locals have also provided various amenities and facilities around the surrounding places.

No matter whether you take buses or drive yourself, it is convenient for you to go camping or barbecue at Shuangzhuang Reservior on weekends. You can also order the service on group-buying websites that will help you save some money.
