[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Fenghuangling Natural Scenic Area (Updated Mar)

⛰️Fenghuangling 📍No. 19 Fenghuangling Road, Haidian District, Beijing Fenghuangling, known as "Little Huangshan," is a must-climb peak in Beijing and is considered the nearest and highest mountain to Beijing's eight urban districts. [Climbing Difficulty] 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The overall climbing height is about 600 meters above sea level, slightly higher than Xiangshan Mountain. Except for the Ladder to Heaven on the middle route, there are no particularly difficult sections. The scenery is very natural and beautiful, but it lacks some of the ethereal beauty of Huangshan. [Route Recommendations] Fenghuangling has three routes: south, middle, and north. 1. South Route: Not recommended 🙅 It's short and doesn't reach the summit. The north and middle routes connect and both lead to the summit. 2. Middle Route: Recommended for experienced hikers 🙆 The steepest of the three routes, it's also the fastest way to the summit. There are two sections of "cloud ladders" in the middle, with hundreds of steep steps requiring considerable physical strength. People with acrophobia should definitely avoid the middle route. 3. North Route: Recommended for leisurely sightseeing ✅ Ascent: North entrance - Shenquan Spring - Jade Rabbit Stone - Ladder to Heaven - Gongbao Stone Village - Flying Stone Pagoda (summit) Descent: Flying Stone Pagoda - Tantric Pagoda - Dakuaidi - Nantianmen - Eighteen Turns - Shady Pavilion - Xinghuacun - Scenic Area Entrance If you're purely climbing, the round trip can be completed in about three hours. [Important Notes] The Ladder to Heaven is the highlight of Fenghuangling. It has 53 steps and only one chain for support. Reaching the top can be psychologically challenging. After passing Guanyin Cave, there's a very narrow crevice in the rocks beside a small path, requiring you to squeeze through and climb up while holding onto an iron chain. This path is very hidden; we had trouble finding it after ascending and eventually followed other experienced visitors. The Ladder to Heaven is not recommended for overweight or acrophobic individuals due to its narrowness and some degree of danger. There are regular steps alongside the ladder that lead to the same point. 🚠Cable Car: No cable car. There's a shuttle bus from the park entrance to the north route entrance, a distance of about 2 kilometers. It's a short walk, so the bus isn't recommended. 🅿️Parking: 10 yuan/unlimited time.

Beijing Phoenix Ridge is located in the northwest of Haidian District, within the Xishan Farm territory, and is an AAAA-level tourist attraction suitable for spring, summer, and autumn outings. There are discounts for students and the elderly on tickets. There are three main scenic routes in the area: the north line, the central line, and the south line. The north line is highlighted by the Sky Ladder and the Feilai Stone Tower, suitable for friends who like challenges and mountain climbing enthusiasts. However, please note that the Sky Ladder has a nearly 90-degree vertical slope, requiring the use of hands and feet to climb upwards, testing physical strength and mental quality, especially for those with heart disease and high blood pressure, please consider accordingly. The central line has ancient health cultivation sites, the famous western Beijing temple 'Longquan Temple', the shady pavilion with touching legends, and the largest cliff inscription in Beijing, 'Phoenix Ridge'. The south line is a place for religion, archaeology, seeking tranquility and adventure, and wild and quirky outings. Huangpu Institute, Guandi Temple, and Lüzu Cave form a 'triangle belt' with a rich accumulation of religious culture, a gathering place for Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. The entire scenic area is beautiful with green mountains and clear waters, blue skies and white clouds, layered hills, dense forests and winding paths, as well as cultural landscapes such as temples and halls, suitable for outdoor hiking, mountain climbing, flower viewing, playing, and picnicking. There is also a small Taoist temple, Taoyuan Temple, built along the mountain with several courtyards, not big but full of life. Along the way, you may encounter rugged and strange rock formations, adding a lot of fun to the climb. Precautions: Bring gloves, hats, food, water, and photo-taking gadgets, take sun protection measures, do not lose your ticket, the back has the management office's phone number for emergency use.

Take the subway to Beian River, or take bus No. 16 to Fenghuangling Station 3. Drive to the Phoenix Ridge East Gate Parking Lot Tickets & Route: Tickets: 25 yuan/person Route: Middle line downhill, north line downhill On the way down the mountain, I bought a large basket of strawberries for more than ten yuan a pound. They were very sweet. 3 tips: 1. There are scenic trails all the way, but there is basically no supply. Buy more water. There is no water to drink halfway through the climb. 2. The ladder is quite steep for 200m at the beginning, and the steps are narrow. If you are afraid of heights, it is recommended to go down the middle line and down the north line (a little scary 😱) 3. The scenic area map is detailed and you can flexibly choose the route 4. Ordinary maps can be used for navigation 5. It is not easy to get a taxi back to Beianhe subway station. You can take the 16 6. The starting points of the South and Central lines are both at Longquan Temple. Be careful not to go the wrong way.

Fenghuangling This nature park is very close to Beijing and is also known as the Phoenix Mountain in the northwest part of the capital. We came by the time of the peach tree blossom and in March most of the trees we saw was just by the foot of the mountain. We spend some time relaxing in the mountain coffee shop that we made a stop by and it was just by the entrance of the park. After that we looked for the temple that is famous for having high educated science geek monks from China’s top universities. Longquan temple is located just by the foot of the mountain and said to be first built in Liao Dynasty (907-1125). The monks here made a cartoon character called Monk Xian’er and made a robot version of him 60 cm high and it has become a star here in China. We found pictures and statues of him around the temple. After the temple visit it was time for the hike. We did not climb or see nearly as much as we should of the mountain and we probably only climbed a small part of it before we had a picnic and it was time to turn around and go back. But it was a beautiful day outside and I definitely have to go back here to see more. Right back at the entrance we stopped by to enjoy the beautiful trees in bloom. How to get here: Take the subway to Beigongmen on line 4 and then take bus 346 to Fenghuangling the end stop.#Fenhuangling #Beijing #nationalpark

It takes only 40 minutes by car from Xisanqi to Fenghuangling. It is really convenient! The northern line is the most beautiful scenery. There are many flowers here and there are many attractions to see. What is more interesting is that the stones on the mountains are more interesting. It takes a few kilometers to get to the foot of the mountain from the gate, so we chose a 25-yuan round-trip battery car, which saves some effort to climb the mountain. North Line Huashan's risk ladder is worth a climb! A boulder is separated from it, almost 90 degrees upright. And only one person can walk. If you want to climb up, you must carry the chain and climb up step by step. Many young people are waiting in line to wait for the challenge. Fenghuangling is not only beautiful scenery, but also many strange rocks. The human landscape here is also very worth seeing. The Longquan Temple in the middle line has a history of more than a thousand years and is worthy of praying. After climbing Phoenix Ridge, go to Yangfang to eat mutton mutton. After eating the mutton mutton, I want to eat it for the second time. Very authentic and authentic, his family's sheep are small lambs from Inner Mongolia, so the lamb is very fresh and needs to be in place on holidays, so you can order in advance if you eat.

In the sea of flowers, refused to sea. Beijing small crowds of flowers flowers do not go to Yuyuantan, more people than flowers!

At present, apricot blossoms and mountain peach blossoms are in full bloom, suitable for viewing from the end of March to the beginning of April. The flowers are mainly concentrated in the northern line of the park. The recommended viewing route is shown in Figure 9.
