User Reviews

By Wandering Sleeper |

The ticket for Shenquan Gorge is 36 yuan, and the discount ticket is 28 yuan. The discount is relatively small. The scenic area has a 10-kilometer and 20-kilometer leisure route. I walked 10 kilometers. The initial altitude was more than 500 meters. The highest point was 830 meters above sea level at 3 kilometers. You will pass by several pavilions where you can rest and overlook the scenery. The route is relatively mature and there are many signboards, but there are also places where it is easy to get lost. However, most of the roads in the scenic area are connected. The ice waterfalls in winter are also good. There are three ice waterfalls in total, and the distance between them is not too far. The whole hike from the entrance of the scenic area to the three ice waterfalls is about 2 kilometers one way.

Looking for a winter place! So, the car key turned and roared away. Shenquanxia is located in Tanchang Village, Mentougou District, Beijing. When you are close to the scenic spot, there is a winding mountain road, full of layers of mountains and trees. If this winding mountain road is a good attraction in summer...My wife kept warning me: concentrate on driving. Finally, we arrived. The adult ticket is 36 yuan. This is a very niche attraction. If it weren't for the characteristics of the icefall, I guess there wouldn't be many people coming here to play. I thought it was a natural landscape, but after I came, I found that it was basically man-made. The managers of the scenic area are very economically minded. They can fool so many tourists from afar with just a few water pipes. It may be the cooling effect of the icefall, it is very cold. If you are going, remember to wear a thick cotton jacket!

This is a perfect combination of nature and human wisdom. It is crystal clear and pure white. Icicles, ice balls, ice flowers...are stacked up in layers and arranged in an orderly manner with the terrain, forming this beautiful white picture.

I often look forward to the green scenery of summer. In fact, as long as there is a heart to discover beauty, beauty can be presented in any place, in any color, and in any way. There is beauty everywhere in life!

The official ticket price is 35 yuan, and the discount for people over 60 is 28 yuan. In fact, there is not much discount. The original ticket price is 27 yuan, and students and the elderly are 20 yuan! They are all man-made landscapes, so I won’t introduce them in detail! Just take a look!

There are three main icefall viewing spots in the scenic area. It takes about an hour and a half to slowly tour the entire scenic area.

By Mountain Road |

There are many nozzles on the top of the mountain, spraying water mist to the icefall continuously. After asking an old man wearing a safety inspector armband in the scenic area, he pointed to a small barrier lake in the canyon and said that the water that formed the icefall was taken from that small reservoir. When we left in the afternoon, we saw many small cars entering the scenic area. Apparently, their tour program also included watching the crystal clear colorful icefalls at night.

It takes one and a half hours to drive from the city center, and the ticket price is 36 yuan!

It's cold in the ditch, so it's recommended that you bring a scarf, sunglasses, hat and gloves and dress warmly. Since you don't climb much, you can bring more hot water and food!

Recommendation index: ☆☆☆☆☆Shenquan Gorge is in the direction of Miaofeng Mountain Scenic Area in Mentougou, and there are relatively few tourists. Come here in winter to experience a completely different scenery - the famous frozen waterfall. Just be sure to wear more clothes...

By Travel WW |

It will definitely shock you! There are few people in the scenic area, parking is convenient, and tickets are cheap. The ice sculptures are all artificially made. There are three areas in the whole park where you can enjoy them. They are very delicate and beautiful! There is a small ice rink at the largest scenic spot. You can rent an ice sled or bring your own ice sled and have fun! Because it is cold, it only takes about 3 hours to play, plus the drive to and from the city, one day is just enough. You can enjoy such beautiful scenery without leaving Beijing. Be content!

Shenquan Gorge is not far from Miaofeng Mountain Scenic Area. There are both high mountains and springs here, so you can climb mountains and enjoy the scenery. There are also large areas of wild hawthorn trees in the scenic area. In the golden autumn season, the red fruits are ripe. The three-person team picked and ate them while walking. The ripe wild hawthorns are sweet and sour. Although they are small in size, they are very tasty. This time, we mainly focus on hiking and sightseeing. Most of the mountains in the scenic area are composed of volcanic rocks formed in the Jurassic period. They are reddish-brown and straight as a knife, which fully reflects the uncanny workmanship of nature. At the same time, the small landscapes formed by the water system in the scenic area are also very unique.

Although it is an artificial icefall, the scenery is beautiful and worth a visit. The most important thing is that you can bring your pets.

There is an artificial ice waterfall in winter, and the ticket price is 36 yuan, which is average.

By Look and see |

There are two artificial ice hangings here in winter. The ticket is 28 yuan without discount. After buying the ticket, you can drive in and go directly to the two scenic spots. There are not many people on weekdays, but on holidays, there are many people and cars, so parking is difficult because there is not much flat land in the valley.

By Wisdom and Innocence |

Tickets are 36 yuan. Parking is free and you can drive into the scenic area. This year is the third year that the Shenquanxia Icefall has been open to the public. The icefall hangs against the mountain, white and crystal, beautiful and spectacular.

By Beijing Family Lao Guo |

The icefall here is artificially created by the scenic spot, but it is large and very dreamy, and it is also worth seeing. There are large areas of icefall hanging high on the mountains and branches, which is very beautiful and looks like an ice and snow world. Tickets: 27 yuan

We picked a windy day and there were no cars along the way, so we drove there comfortably. The ticket price of 36 is quite expensive, and the tickets for these attractions in the suburbs are generally expensive.

The scenery is nice. You can take a 20-kilometer large loop, a 10-kilometer small loop, and a 2-3-kilometer canyon water play line.



I had been running a fever for several days before I went out, and it was even worse this morning, with a strong wind. My friend asked me if I was still going.

I say go ahead, breathing some mountain air might help you feel better.

I went there with this wrong mentality, but my friend suggested we walk the 10 kilometers around Central. I was sweating at first, but after walking on the mountain road, feeling the breeze and the warm autumn sun, I gradually felt comfortable.



At noon, I went to the pavilion and took out my backpack. What a coincidence: I made pork skin jelly mixed with tomatoes and cooked porridge, and my friend brought sesame cakes and grapes 🍇. How did we cooperate so well 😁? No one mentioned to bring food

It's so comfortable to bask in the sun and drink hot tea in the mountains



There are streams along the way down to the valley, which is pleasant. I didn't take medicine for the fever in recent days, but climbing the mountain cured it 😝



Exercise and fresh air are the best medicine.

It is recommended that you bring your own lunch. There is no one selling anything in the scenic area.



There is a stall selling sweet potatoes and pears on the side of the road. My friend said it must be delicious, but I don't think so.

He bought a big bag of pears and gave me one. When I got home, I saw that the pears were so small. I washed one and tasted it. It was sweet and delicious. I ate it without peeling it.



Wash the sweet potatoes and bake them in the oven. The whole house is filled with fragrance. They are delicious.



Here's a picture showing off: Others' cars become dirty when they come back from playing, but mine becomes clean when I come back from playing, hahahaha

When I went there, the entrance to the village was paved with asphalt. Shenquan Gorge has a beautiful environment, convenient parking, a farmhouse at the entrance of the scenic area, many attractions in the scenic area, and the air in the mountains makes people feel happy! The scenery of the canyon is intoxicating

By Dudu Little Master |

There are mountains and water here, but the water is not clear enough, maybe I went there a little early. The dog who is not afraid of heights is afraid of the dangling bridge. It is the first time I see him so scared.

Time: February 2018. There are three artificial icefalls in winter, all on the shady side. Although the icefall can be preserved for a longer time, the visual effect will be discounted. It is available for sightseeing and photography, but the layout is not very delicate. According to a sign somewhere, there are three types of hiking activities here: 10km, 21km, and 42km.

By Old fat cat |

Although the outdoor temperature was 5 degrees, I was wearing the thickest clothes, but the wind was still blowing the ice, and it was very cold. Part of the mountain in the scenic area was closed in winter, and the area available for sightseeing was not large. If you walk slowly, you can come out in more than an hour. There were bubbles on the ice, but they were few and not beautiful.

Enter the Shenquan Gorge Scenic Area. From afar, you can see the icefalls cascading down the mountain stream. The altitude here is high and the temperature is low. There are many man-made waterfalls in the canyon that stretches for several kilometers in the scenic area. After entering winter, the stream water flowing down from the mountain freezes into icefalls, glaciers, icicles, ice shoots, ice spruces, ice flowers... in clusters and clusters, magnificent and eye-catching.

Shenquan Gorge is located in Tanchang Village, Miaofengshan Town, Mentougou District. It is a new scenic spot. The scenery in the mountains is nice, with many streams and dense trees. It is a good place to escape the summer heat.

By KeenSting |

This place is very remote, and the mountain road has 18 bends to get there. There is a charcoal factory village at the foot of the mountain. There are many small streams and waterfalls on the mountain. It is very cool and the trees are lush. The mountain road is built with a sense of feeling. There is a place for barbecue in the sea.

Shenquanxia Scenic Area is located in Tanchang Village, Miaofengshan Town, Mentougou District, Beijing. There is a section of the mountain road that is winding and narrow.

By Stealing a day of leisure |

Shenquan Gorge in Mentougou has not been developed yet, but there are many tourists, mainly because they can barbecue here. It is also very comfortable to walk in the mountains.

By Persistence |

Shenquan Gorge is located in Tanchang Village, Miaofengshan Town, Mentougou District, 45 kilometers away from Beijing. It is a new scenic spot. It was free before, but now it is charged. We entered the gate and walked along the mountain road. There were few tourists along the way. We saw workers building reservoirs around the scenic spot. We continued to walk in, hahahaha, the beautiful scenery was slowly emerging. I couldn't help but think of the lyrics, "Lift up your veil, let me see your face." Increase confidence and walk. The valley is long and winding, and the springs and canyons are intertwined. I deliberately stayed away from everyone and appreciated it slowly. I looked up woodenly and found that I was the only one left. The scene of the jungle adventure in the movie was truly reproduced. Because there was no time for artificial repairs inside, the scenery became more and more primitive as we walked in. According to legend, an ancient camel bell road passed through Xigou and led to the Bashang grassland outside the Great Wall. In midsummer, the temperature in the canyon is 5 or 6 degrees lower than that in the city. Hahaha, a good place to escape the summer heat.

Route: Longquan Hotel - Junzhuang Town - National Highway 109 - turn right at Xiaweidian intersection and drive 300 meters in front of the 506 factory. There is a fork in the road. Go to Shangweidian, cross the bridge, turn left, follow the main road to Tanchang Village, turn left on the bridge, and drive right.

Tickets: 20 yuan. There are no shops in the area, so you have to eat on your own. Accommodation is not convenient, and there are no farmhouses around.

Shenquan Gorge is located in Tanchang Village, Miaofengshan Town, Mentougou. Shenquan Gorge has a unique structure, dense vegetation and gurgling streams. It is a primitive landscape hidden in the mountains.
