Jiufeng National Forest Park is situated in Haidian District, the northwestern part of Beijing city. Only 2 kilometers away from Zhongguancun High-tech Garden and 18 kilometers northwest of the Summer Palace. Jiufeng literally means the Golden Eagle Peak. Looking from a far distance, two mountain peaks stand and face with each other, as it were a vivid golden eagle which flapping the wings and preparing to fly. Therefore, the park got the name Jiufeng (Golden Eagle Peak).
Jiufeng Forest Park, occupying an area of more than 830 hectares, is known as a treasure of plants. On the mountains, there are endless pine forests, and the forest coverage is as high as 90%. Moreover, the park is the natural bank of plants. In spring, flowers are everywhere on the mountains, and floral scent spreads far away from the park. In summer, thick forests shade the ground and it is cool and refreshing in the forest. In autumn, the forests turn red and yellow, and ripe fruits are everywhere. And in winter, the mountains above 700 meters are enveloped with snow, forming a wonderland of snow and ice, and on the mountains below 700 meters, the pine and cypress forests are still green and vibrant. The verdant forest and varied landforms offers a playground to countless lovely little animals, such as wild chicken, hares, roe deer and squirrels.
