The scenic spot is located in the northwest of Haidian District, covering a total area of 10.62 square kilometers.Beijing Fenghuangling Scenic Area is divided into three scenic areas for tourists: the northern line, the middle line, and the southern line.
 

The distribution of scenic spots on the northern line is dense, with a perfect combination of mountains and water. Along the way, you can enjoy the strange peaks and rocks, explore the secret caves, and appreciate the flowing springs and waterfalls. The main attractions are the Physiognomy of Sea Cliff, the Geyi Nunnery, the Shangfang Temple, the Linglong Pagoda, the Kwan-yin Cave, and the well-known Tianti (a ladder that can lead to heaven) can be seen on the north route.
 

The middle line takes the “Longquan Temple” as the starting point and goes along the mountain, you can view the ancient health cultivation sites, such as the Immortal Cave, the Xuanyuan Cave, and the Three-Buddha Cave, all carved in the Liao (907-1125) and Jin (1115-1234) Dynasties.

Different caves have different geographical locations and surrounding environments, which may represent the different stages of ancient practitioners’ health cultivation.

 
The southern line is a resort for seeking adventure and hunting wilderness. The Huangpu Yard, the Guandi Temple, and Lvzu Cave form a “triangular zone” with rich religious and cultural deposits, which is the place where Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism converge. With its long history and charming scenery, this “triangle zone” has become a beautiful and fascinating scenic spot.
