The scenic area has a petrified wood exhibition hall, where you can fully understand the history and formation of petrified wood, and there are also actual exhibits. I didn't climb any higher because I was afraid of the fatigue. Those who are interested can go up to the top to enjoy the view; the scenery is quite nice.
Beijing National Geopark Of Fossil Wood, located in Xiadelongwan Village, Yanqing District, is a key part of the 100-mile Landscape Gallery and the Yanqing World Geopark. Covering 20.5 square kilometers, it includes an experimental area open to visitors. The park features 57 exposed petrified woods, with the largest measuring 2.5 meters in diameter and 15 meters in length. It houses a petrified wood exhibition room and 18 protection pavilions, showcasing the largest original petrified wood group in North China. This site holds significant scientific value for studying the region's paleogeography, paleoclimate, and ancient tree development.

Yanqing Petrified Wood Scenic Area. Very informative, I didn't know anything about petrified wood before. After entering, there is a small exhibition hall where you can watch videos and have very clear explanations. There is a field with more than ten petrified woods when you come out. You can continue to climb the mountain if you have time. The 30 yuan ticket price is a bit expensive.
Frankly speaking, I stumbled upon this most beautiful scenery today. As expected, the Hundred Miles Gallery is breathtakingly beautiful. This is a stretch of water outside the Petrified Wood Park. The clear water is sparkling and is not inferior to the Huanglong in Sichuan or the Blue Moon Valley in Yunnan.
Petrified wood is a real petrified wood. It is a tree fossil that was quickly buried underground millions of years ago or earlier and replaced by silica in groundwater. It retains the wood structure and texture of the tree. The Petrified Wood Geopark is not large in area, and it doesn't take long to walk around. You just need to go there to learn about what petrified wood is.
Located in Yanqing National Geopark, including showroom, silicified wood, back hill. Here we can learn more about the formation of silicified wood. Climbing the back hill can also overlook the landscape of the Geopark, which is not interesting.
