Longxian Palace & Shentang Valley Ⅳ

Shentang Valley

The Shentang Valley is located in Fangezhuang Village, Huairou District, about 60 kilometers (37 miles) from urban Beijing. Its landscape is a combination of steep mountains, clear waters, craggy peaks and unusual rock formations. The air here is pristine. The ancient Hongluo Temple is nearby as is the magnificent Mutianyu Great Wall. The centerpiece of this scenic area is a deep green lake.

About seventy-five percent of the valley is covered by greenery, and this brings its temperate climate and excellent air quality. Temperatures are mild during the spring and summer months. It is still warm enough, however, for visitors to swim, boat or frolic in the natural clear springs.
