Ling Shan

Ling Shan located on the border of Men Tou Gou District and Hebei Province, about 122 kilometers from central Beijing, is an ideal summer retreat. Ling Shan is known for its cool air and mountain scenery.
Having the fame of “little Tibet in Beijing”, Lingshan is the highest peak in the Beijing area, which elevation is 2,303 meters above the sea level. Ling Shan has 18 square kilometers of forests, mainly composed of birches, and seven square kilometers of wild grassland. Squirrels, foxes, hares, pheasants, wild goats, deer and wild boars can be seen frequently in the forests. Mountain villas offer lodging facilities for 2,000 people, and dining facilities for 8,000 people.
