Location & Transportation

Nangong Tourism Scenic Area sits in Wangzuo Town, Fengtai District, southwestern Beijing. It’s a quick escape from the city—about 40 minutes’ drive from downtown. Take Subway Line 10 to Fangshan, then transfer to bus F38 or F79. Driving is easy too: follow G4 Highway and take the Wangzuo exit. The scenic area covers Nangong Village, known as “China’s top geothermal village”, making it a unique spot for nature and relaxation.

Natural Attractions

The heart of Nangong Tourism Scenic Area is its geothermal wonders. Hot springs bubble up naturally here, feeding lush tropical greenhouses and outdoor pools. You’ll find flowering plants year-round in the geothermal-heated gardens, plus a lake where ducks and turtles roam. In winter, mist rises from the hot springs, creating a mystic, fairy-tale atmosphere. For adventure, try the forest trails winding through eucalyptus and pine trees—perfect for a breath of fresh air.

Cultural Highlights

Nangong Village isn’t just about nature. This tiny village has earned 8 national awards, like “Model Village for Spiritual Civilization” and “Top Agritourism Site”. Walk through tidy lanes lined with red lanterns, and visit the Geothermal Museum to learn how locals use earth’s heat for farming and baths. During festivals, villagers host traditional dances and handicraft workshops, letting you try making dumplings or weaving bamboo baskets.

Family-Friendly Facilities

The area is packed with amenities. There’s a hot spring resort with private tubs and splash-friendly public pools. Kids love the indoor playground and animal farm, while adults can unwind in teahouses overlooking lotus ponds. For food, try local mushroom hotpot (grown in geothermal-powered farms) or rice cakes at the village eatery. Camping spots and cottages let you stay overnight under the stars.

Immersive Experience

A day at Nangong Tourism Scenic Area starts with a geothermal breakfast (think steamed buns cooked with underground heat). Explore the tropical garden, where banana trees and orchids thrive without heaters. Dip into a hot spring noon, then rent a bike to cruise through village paths. End with a sunset picnic by the lake, listening to frogs croak. It’s a mix of natural magic and down-to-earth charm that’s hard to find elsewhere.

Pro Tip: Weekdays are less crowded. Combine your visit with nearby Miyun Glass Bridge or Huairou Radiation City for a full Beijing countryside adventure.
