Yanqing District, Administrative district northwest of Beijing, China

The district spans 2,000 square kilometers of mountainous terrain with valleys and includes the Guanting Reservoir in its western section.

Originally established as Guichuan County during the Tang Dynasty, the area became Yanqing County in 1958 and gained district status in 2015.

The Badaling section of the Great Wall intersects through the district, while the Guyaju Caves present ancient cliff dwellings from earlier civilizations.

Visitors can reach Yanqing via the Beijing-Baotou railway or Suburban Railway Line S2, with the journey taking under one hour from central Beijing.

The Yanqing National Sliding Centre, constructed for the 2022 Winter Olympics, stands as the first sliding sports venue in China.
