Olympic Forest Park

Geographical Location and Significance
Beijing Olympic Forest Park is located at the northernmost end of the extended central axis of Beijing. It occupies a very important geographical location and is the largest urban green landscape in Asia, truly deserving to be called the "green lung" of Beijing's urban area. It is like a green ocean, providing people with a fresh and natural resting place in the bustling city. It plays an indispensable role in improving urban air quality, regulating local climate, and maintaining ecological balance.

Layout of the Park and Landscape Features
The park is divided into the South Park and the North Park, which are ingeniously connected by an ecological bridge spanning the Fifth Ring Road, forming an organic whole. The South Park mainly features natural landscape of mountains and waters. There are rippling lakes and lush mountains and forests here. The mountains and waters depend on each other, creating a peaceful and remote natural atmosphere, as if taking people into a picturesque scene of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The North Park mainly features small stream and gully landscapes. The gurgling streams flow through the rocks, and the grass along the streams is green and dotted with wild flowers, full of lively wild charm.

Introduction to Famous Landscapes
The most famous landscapes in the park are "Yangshan" and "Aohai". "Yangshan" towers into the clouds. The trees on the mountain are shady. The hiking trails wind through it.

They can not only exercise their bodies but also overlook the magnificent scenery of the whole park and the urban landscape in the distance after reaching the top. "Aohai" is a vast expanse of water. The lake water is clear to the bottom. It sparkles under the sunlight. There are sometimes boats rowing on the lake, creating ripples layer by layer, which complements the surrounding landscape of mountains and waters.
