Pofengling Scenic Area is located at the Peking Site of Zhoukoudian, about 50 kilometers away from the city and the total area is about 2000 acres. The area is near the Badachu Park and Hongluosanxian, which was known as a summer resort during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Huangshandian Village, lies at the foot of the mountain, is a famous village of Beijing which has become a good resort for picking, fishing, sightseeing and other leisure activities.

When climbing the mountain, you will see continuous and steep mountains. The west side is the National Forest Park, while the east is the Longgushan Peking Man Site. It is linked with Yanshan Mountain in the north while the south unveils a vast plain. When standing at the top of the mountain, you will feel as if you can touch the stars and the sky just by simply putting your hands above your head.

It’s an ideal place to see nice views during fall, when you can easily appreciate red leaves and relax under the sunshine. The leaves are often seen with a variety of different colors, ranging from red, yellow, green, and black leaves, all of which complement the white clouds amid the blue sky. When looking from the distance, you can see the beautiful colors that stem from a number of plants here including persimmon trees, walnut trees, wild jujube trees, wild peach trees and wild pears. In the middle of those mountains, there are various kinds of trees sitting on both sides of the road accompanied by hemp, elm, wild jujube, wattles and many more types of plants.
