Shidu Township, Fangshan District, BeijingAbout
Shidu Scenic Area is located along the middle and upper reaches of Juma River in Fangshan District, 100 kilometers away from downtown Beijing. There are 10 river bends along this segment of the river, each of which has a ferry crossing. Hence, Shidu was given its name, which when literally translated, translates into "the 10 crossings."Shidu is the only natural scenic spot in north China that is characterized by karst (eroded limestone) forests and river valley topography. There is beautiful scenery at each ferry crossing.
Tourists may also enjoy recreational activities such as bungee jumping, cliff parachuting, ropeways, rock climbing, river drifting, paddle boating, kayaking, surfing, motor boating, sunbathing and horse riding. To date, nearly 200 films and TV programs have chosen Shidu for location shootings.
