Birch forest of Labagoumen is located in Sunzhazi Village, Labagoumen Manchu Town, Huairou District, the northmost of Beijing. Lying in 170 kilometers away of downtown Beijing, it is the only one natural scenic area of primeval forest. The dropping variance of the mountains is big in the scenic site, and the forestland covers an area of 110 square kilometers. With an elevation of over 1700 meters, the Nanhou ridge is the highest peak in Huairou District. The first time I saw the gorgeous scenery in a Beijing to Xian tour, I was lost in the land of fairy tale.
Picture one: the primeval forest in Labaogoumen Manchu Town is in an elevation between 700 and 1700 meters. The endless forest stretches along to the horizon and the air there is fresh and pure. The total area of Wulongtan, Phoenix Platform and glacier sightseeing zone are 4,500 hectares, with forest land accounting for 80%, and species of plants nearly 700 and animal species reaches over 300, which makes it a kingdom of biological diversity.
Picture three: There is the largest white birch and purple birch area in China, the largest alpine rose and larch forest and primeval secondary forest-oak forest. In addition, a great number of valuable tree species like tilia amurensis and Phellodendron amurense are mixed in the forest. In golden autumn days, the vegetations will present a tridimensional, colorful and gorgeous world to the tourists.
After the natural landscape tour in Beijing, the historical and cultural journey in the Xian tour gave me another big shock.
