Simatai Great Wall Scenic Area
The Simatai Great Wall is located in Gubeikou Town in the northeast of Miyun District, Beijing. It starts from Wangjing Tower in the east and ends at Houchuankou in the west. It is 5.4 kilometers long and has 35 watchtowers. The whole section of the Great Wall is ingeniously conceived, uniquely designed, novel in structure, and of various shapes. There are both the common "city wall type" and the "half-side wall type" built to adapt to the mountain terrain of cliffs; there are both horse trails that stretch along the gentle slope and "ladders to the sky" stacked with large steps on the steep slope. It has the five unique characteristics of "dangerous, dense, strange, clever, and complete". The Simatai Reservoir divides the Great Wall into two sections, east and west. There are 16 watchtowers in the east section and 18 in the west section. The watchtowers are dense, varied in form, and different in structure. The average distance between the towers is only 140 meters, which is extremely magnificent. There are two most prominent watchtowers on the peak of the eastern section of the Great Wall, namely the Fairy Tower and the Wangjing Tower. In particular, the Wangjing Tower is built on a steep peak with an altitude of 1,000 meters, with excellent views and a view of Beijing City from a distance. Simatai Great Wall was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1987. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit and the only ancient architectural site in my country that retains its original appearance from the Ming Dynasty. Simatai Great Wall is divided into two sections, east and west, by Yuanyang Lake. Yuanyang Lake is formed by the confluence of hot springs that flow all year round at 37°C and cold springs that are freezing cold, making the lake water half cold and half warm. In the severe winter, the lake is still rippling with blue waves and mist rising. The highest point of the Great Wall is the "Fairy Tower", which requires climbing the "ladder to heaven". The ladder to heaven is 100 meters high, with a slope of 85 degrees, almost vertical, and it is impossible to conquer it without courage. Looking up, the brick and stone steps are only wide enough for feet, with steep cliffs on both sides. The step in the middle is as thin as a line, as thin as a blade, and as steep as a stand. People can't help but sigh and take a breath of cold air when looking at the ladder. Climbing up the Fairy Tower, the scenery is indeed more magnificent and beautiful. Looking down at the cliffs under your feet, they are as sharp as a knife and an axe. A few wisps of mist hang on the cliffs, making them even more steep and dangerous. The Jinshanling Great Wall and the Simatai Great Wall in the northwest are integrated into one, just like a dragon about to take off. The enemy towers of different sizes and shapes on the Great Wall are built on various commanding heights just right, majestic, cold and upright. The entire section of the Great Wall is perfect and harmonious, magnificent, and shows its ingenuity, strangeness, majesty and magnificence everywhere. Look at the continuous Yanshan Mountains surging up, stacking up countless fantasies; look at the boundless North China Plain, which stretches all the way to the horizon as far as the eye can see. In this broad and strange scenery, one can't help but imagine.
Dawangjing Park, Chaoyang District, Beijing
Dawangjing Park is located in the eastern part of Beijing. The park is adjacent to Beixiao River in the north, Jingshun Road in the southeast, the Fifth Ring Road in the northeast, and Wangjing Outer Ring Road in the west. It is located in Dawangjing Science and Technology Business Innovation Zone in Chaoyang District. Speaking of Dawangjing, let me first introduce the origin of Wangjing to all leaders: Legend has it that one year, Emperor Qianlong went to the Summer Resort to spend the summer. He passed by this village (now Dawangjing Village) via the Imperial Road, stopped to rest, and when he was drinking tea, he looked back and saw Dongzhimen, and then named this place Wangjing. In the 21st century, Wangjing area has developed rapidly, and many multinational company headquarters and R&D centers have settled in Wangjing, and Fortune 500 companies have actively moved in. For example: Canada Nortel Networks China Headquarters and R&D Center, Motorola China Headquarters and R&D Center, Samsung Electronics (China) Service Headquarters, Germany BMW Automotive Electronics R&D Center, Beijing Benz Building, etc. In addition, well-known domestic companies such as Greenland Group and Poly Group have also settled in. Wangjing area should strive to create new highlights in Chaoyang's industrial development and urban operations, and create a shocking first image area of the country's gate. For this reason, Dawangjing Science and Technology Business Innovation Zone has also been listed as one of the top ten development bases in Chaoyang District during the 12th Five-Year Plan period. The Dawangjing Park located in it is a pilot construction project of urban-rural integration of the Beijing Municipal Government. The predecessor of the park was Dawangjing Village, a famous urban village in Beijing. In 2009, Dawangjing Village in Chaoyang District was selected as a pilot project and began demolition work on May 9, 2009. The demolition task was completed on June 10 of the same year. The entire demolition work took only one month, with a total demolition area of 486,000 square meters and 1,692 households involved. As an important part of this urban-rural integration pilot construction project, in order to enable the residents of the area to not only enjoy modern life, but also enjoy a high-quality living environment. The Chaoyang District Government increased its investment and decided to build a regional comprehensive park on the original site of the demolition to effectively improve the environmental level of the area. Dawangjing Park also got its name. Dawangjing Park started construction on June 28, 2009 and was officially opened to tourists on May 8, 2010. The park covers a total area of 33.4 hectares, of which 26.16 hectares are green, 4.9 hectares are paved, and 2.34 hectares are water. The construction of Dawangjing Park has greatly improved the quality of the surrounding environment and has become a green highlight in the Dawangjing Science and Technology Business Innovation Zone. At the same time, the park also relies on the regional advantages of the park to create unique conditions for the better development of the park. The park adheres to the concept of "green mountains and green waters, butterflies and flying warblers - beautiful Wangjing, my home", and follows the principles of people-oriented, ecological priority, urban-rural integration, and perfect system; beautify the city, build a park with culture; give full play to the multiple functions of green space and create the best living environment. In recent years, the park has continuously strengthened management and improvement, and strived to give full play to the ecological, environmental and leisure and recreational functions of urban gardens, and built a green oxygen bar with business and leisure as its characteristics to serve the Wangjing Business Park. Through reasonable planning, the park has carefully designed the main landscapes such as Wangjing Terrace, Qingyun Terrace, Ruyi Lake, Qingxi Waterway, Lotus Ferry, Tree-Shaded Square, Health Trail, and Ancient Tree Square.
