Plan your Beijing excursions<\/a><\/strong><\/span>? Shidu day trip<\/a><\/strong><\/span> is highly recommended on your Beijing excursion list. Shidu Scenic Area is located in Shidu Town of Fangshan District, about 80km southwest of downtown Beijing.<\/p>\n

Shidu Scenic area mainly refers to the Juma River cutting through the north of Taihang Moutains with a length of 20km. There used to be 10 ferries along the Juma River, hence the name “Shidu” which literally means “10 ferries”. Actually Shidu has totally 18 ferries though it is called “10 Ferries (Shidu).<\/p>\n

Today the 10 ferries no longer exist, but the name of Shidu is still in use. Shidu Scenic Area is dubbed as “Little Guilin” for its beautiful water and mountains. The view of each Du (Ferry) has its own characteristics. Among the 10 Ferries (Shidu), Ferry No.03, Ferry No.07 and Ferry No.09 are the most beautiful.<\/p>\n
