About 85km north of Beijing, the area's craggy peaks, topped by bonsaied cypresses and spilling over into lush summer growth, recall traditional ink paintings. The park, which boasts a dense forest offering more than 100 varieties of trees, also contains a wild botanical garden that overlooks the western shore of Miyun Reservoir. The mountain's highest peak - situated at 1,414m above sea level, is accessible through a fairly easy hike that takes approximately five hours. On either side of the creek, the terrain rises to rocky outcrops - some with sheer drops, others contorted into sculptural forms. The park's camping site, which is available to visitors free of charge, consists of desolate barracks in a clearing in the middle of the forest.
