Introduction

The Huapiling Scenic Area, located at the starting point of the Grassland Sky Road, is named after the abundant birch trees. With an elevation of up to 2128.7 meters, it is the highest peak in western Beijing and enjoys the reputation of "Zitian Mountain". The scenic area boasts unique natural scenery, lush trees, rushing mountain springs, bird songs and fragrant flowers, and abundant resources, making it a pure natural forest oxygen bar. Especially in summer and autumn, the temperature is pleasant, not exceeding 20℃, making it an excellent summer resort. The temperature on the grassland is cooler at night, so thicker clothing is recommended. In addition, the ultraviolet rays are stronger during the day, and visitors should take precautions and use sunscreen.
