A utopia that is Yanqing, where people may return to nature, let go of their worldly worries and immerse in the landscape of their dream. Chuanqu of Yanqing is situated at 500 metres above sea level, whose average annual temperature is around 4ºC lower than that of Beijing, which is also lower than that of Chengde Mountain Resort and is thus named the summer capital of Beijing.
