Huairou District, Administrative district in northern Beijing, China

Huairou is an administrative district north of Beijing that spans a large, mountainous area. The region is heavily forested and crossed by rivers that shape its terrain.

The district gained international attention in 1995 when it hosted civil society meetings during the UN's Fourth World Conference on Women. This event brought global significance to the area.

Film studios shape the landscape here and have made it a key hub for Chinese cinema. You can see evidence of this creative industry throughout the region.

Visitors can reach Huairou by suburban trains at Yanqihu and Huairou North stations or by using bus lines from central Beijing. The best time to explore is outside weekends, when popular spots are less crowded.

A section of the Great Wall runs through the region and features restored watchtowers with direct cable car access. This accessibility makes it easier to explore the ancient fortification and understand its construction.
