Ye San Po

Ye San Po is a natural and very beautiful nature reserve, about 75 miles southwest of Beijing, with high mountains, forests and deep valleys. It follows the river (a small brook really, but it is extremely beautiful) by the river valley, and sometimes it can be quite steep and difficult to walk. There are some Buddhist temples there, and one wonder why they built them in the most inaccessible place. In the forest around, there are several trees that are 1000 years old.

Ye San Po is popular among Chinese people, even if more and more foreign tourists also begin to find it there.

To come to the top of the mountain you need to walk in a staircase with a few thousand steps. There is also a cable for the feeble.

The area is really recommended for its natural beauty and we recommend that you devote a whole day for a visit, also considering that the journey there takes a relatively long time.
