Baiwangshan Forest Park covers an area of more than 200 hectares. It is located three kilometers north of the Summer Palace. The Beijing-Miyun Canal passes around the mountain. It is the closest forest park to Beijing. Baiwangshan is the easternmost peak of the Taihang Mountains extending to the North China Plain. It is known as the "first peak of the Taihang Outpost". The main peak of Baiwangshan is 210 meters above sea level. It is abrupt and tall. Climbing the main peak, you can see the land of Beijing in the distance. The scenery is magnificent. It is a good place for climbing and sightseeing. The park is densely forested, with a vegetation coverage rate of more than 95%. The air contains rich negative oxygen ions, and it is known as the oxygen source of Beijing. The red leaves of Baiwangshan are even more colorful. In the golden autumn, nearly a thousand acres of red leaf forests compete to show their beauty. The red is bright and intoxicating, making it an excellent place for people to enjoy the red leaves. The park has a forest of green cultural steles in the capital. The scenery is set in the forest according to the mountain terrain, and the steles are set in the scenery. There are pavilions, stele corridors and stele art walls, inlaid with more than 1,000 inscriptions by party and state leaders, well-known social figures and works of calligraphy and painting artists. Visitors in the forest of steles can not only see the greening achievements over the years, but also be intoxicated by the art of stele carving, so as to feel the magnificence of Chinese calligraphy and painting art and the influence of green culture. It is said that this is the battlefield where Yang Liulang fought against the Liao soldiers and where She Taijun cheered for her son. Therefore, Baiwang Mountain is also called Wanger Mountain. The remains of She Taijun Temple and Jiaozi Platform are still preserved. In 1937, there was a fierce "Heishanhu Anti-Japanese Battle". Now that the smoke has dissipated, the Sino-Japanese Friendship Pavilion, Huitou Stone, Wanglu Pavilion, etc. have been built on the mountain, becoming a place for leisure and entertainment for people in Beijing. In order to cooperate with the national fitness campaign aimed at improving the physical fitness of the whole people, the park has also launched a number of outdoor sports, such as rock climbing, rappelling, orienteering, etc., combining entertainment, sports, thrills and scientific knowledge. The park also provides camping tents for tourists to experience the fun of survival in the wild. The park has built a "Baiwangshan Bar" in the park, with simple wooden tables and chairs and European style. It can provide evening special services and seasonal snacks. You can enjoy tea, talk and music in a beautiful environment. The beautiful natural scenery and unique cultural landscape of Baiwangshan Forest Park complement each other. It integrates multiple functions such as education, sports, art, and tourism in one park. It is an ideal place for citizens and students to carry out patriotism education, environmental education, rural tourism, and sports. In 1995, the Beijing Youth League Committee named Baiwangshan Forest Park as the greening camp for the planting of "adult trees" by middle school student volunteers in the capital.

Philosophy related to the heritage

Interpretation of Baiwangshan Forest Park from the perspective of Eastern philosophy In Eastern philosophy, especially Chinese philosophy, the harmonious coexistence of nature and man is one of the core concepts. Baiwangshan Forest Park, as a green lung of Beijing, its existence itself is a vivid interpretation of the philosophical thought of "harmony between man and nature". The mountains and forests are lush with trees, birds and flowers, which not only provide urban residents with opportunities to get close to nature, but also embody the ideal state of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. From the perspective of Taoism, the natural landscape of Baiwangshan makes people feel the true meaning of "Tao follows nature", reminding people to follow the laws of nature and pursue inner peace and harmonious unity with nature. From the perspective of Confucianism, the beauty of Baiwangshan symbolizes the virtues of a gentleman. The stability of the mountain and the agility of the water can be regarded as the qualities that a gentleman should possess, that is, "the wise man enjoys water, and the benevolent man enjoys mountains". Interpretation of Baiwangshan Forest Park from the perspective of Western philosophy Western philosophy, especially since the Enlightenment, emphasizes the exploration of rationality and natural laws. From this perspective, Baiwangshan Forest Park is not only a display of natural beauty, but also a scientific exploration of natural laws and ecological balance. It encourages people to use reason to understand nature, and to enhance their understanding of nature through observation and research, so as to better protect the environment. At the same time, the existence of Baiwangshan Forest Park also reflects the pursuit of "good life" in Western philosophy. In the busy urban life, this oasis provides a space to escape from the hustle and bustle and return to nature, allowing people to find spiritual comfort in the embrace of nature and experience the beauty and tranquility of life. In addition, from the perspective of existentialism, the natural environment of Baiwangshan provides individuals with a place to reflect on themselves and explore the meaning of life, and encourages people to find the value and meaning of personal existence in nature. In summary, whether from the perspective of "harmony between man and nature" and "Tao follows nature" in Eastern philosophy, or rational exploration and pursuit of a good life in Western philosophy, Baiwangshan Forest Park has become an excellent place for philosophical thinking and spiritual exploration with its unique natural charm.
