Description

With 200 hectares of manmade forested landscape, Ban Di Dian Forest Park is the largest such area in Beijing. Formerly a piece of desert, it has been seeded with more than 200,000 poplars, willows, cedars, Japanese Pagoda trees and apple trees since its inception in 1985. There is also a 53-hectare orchard of apples, pears, haws, peaches and grapes. During harvest season you can pay for a bag and pick away to your heart's content. The most beautiful time to visit is between April and October.
