Location & How to Get There

Eagle Mountain Forest Park sits at the border of three Beijing districts—Fengtai, Shijingshan, and Mentougou. The park is nestled inside Beijing Expo Park (Yuanboyuan), specifically at 15 Shejichang Road, Fengtai District, on the west side. To reach here, take Subway Line 14 to “Yuanboyuan Station” and walk for about 15 minutes. You can also hop on buses like 327 or 385—check the real-time map on your phone for the best route!

Natural Scenery: A Wild Escape

Spanning 80 hectares, Eagle Mountain Forest Park is a mini-adventure in nature. The terrain mixes flat valleys, steep slopes, and six rocky peaks. In spring, wildflowers blanket the hills, while autumn paints the forest in red and gold. The park boasts over a hundred plant species, from towering pines to delicate wild berries. Don’t miss the “Green Needles & Red Leaves” area—it’s Instagram gold in fall!

Hiking & Outdoor Fun

With seven valleys and one cliff, Eagle Mountain offers trails for all skill levels. Follow the wooden boardwalks to avoid slippery slopes, or challenge yourself on the rocky paths near the peaks. The “Pine Waves Snow Scene” area transforms into a winter wonderland, perfect for snowy photos. Bring sturdy shoes and a jacket—the weather changes fast!

Wildlife & Plants

This isn’t a zoo, but keep your eyes peeled for birds and small animals. The park’s two open fields are great for picnics, especially during fruit season when you can pick wild berries (if allowed!). The staff might not speak much English, but they’re friendly—just smile and point if you need help.

Facilities for Visitors

Inside Eagle Mountain Forest Park, you’ll find basic but clean restrooms, water stations, and snack stands selling drinks and light bites. There’s a small visitor center with maps (in Chinese, but staff can help). If you get tired, plenty of shaded benches offer spots to rest while enjoying the view.

Tips for Your Visit

  • Best Time: Spring (April–May) and fall (September–October) for mild weather and colorful leaves.
  • What to Bring: Sunscreen, hat, water, and snacks. No grills allowed, so pack a sandwich!
  • Family-Friendly: Easy trails and open spaces make it great for kids, but keep an eye on them near cliffs.

Why Visit Eagle Mountain?

If you want to escape Beijing’s city buzz without traveling too far, Eagle Mountain Forest Park delivers. It’s less crowded than bigger parks like Muyu or Baidu, but still packed with natural beauty. Spend a few hours hiking, snap photos of the peaks, or just breathe the fresh air. Pro tip: Come early or late to avoid midday crowds!

Note: Always check the park’s official hours and rules before visiting.
