Baiwangshan Forest Park, hill and park in Haidian, Beijing

Baiwangshan Forest Park covers over 200 hectares in Xibeiwang, Haidian District, Beijing, and its main peak rises 210 metres. The hill is the easternmost spur of the Taihang Mountains, with vegetation covering 95% of its area. A pavilion called Wangjinglou stands at the summit, and the Capital Green Culture Stele Forest lies within the park.

Baiwangshan is first recorded in the Tang-dynasty text Chang'an Yehua, which explains the name: travellers leaving the peak could still see it from a hundred li away. It is also called Wang'er Shan after two villages below, Dongbeiwang and Xibeiwang, and after the legend of She Taijun watching her son Yang Liulang fight the Liao. In 1937 the Heishanhu battle against Japanese troops was fought here; Yang Chengwu's memorial stele to that fight is set in the Wangjinglou pavilion on the summit.

The name Baiwang, "a hundred li of visibility", appears in the Tang-era Chang'an Yuhua: the peak stayed in sight for a hundred li to those leaving. The hill is also called Wang'er Shan after She Taijun, who is said to have watched her son Yang Liulang fight Liao troops below; her temple on the summit, first recorded in 1586, holds 1980s statues of her, Yang Bajie and Yang Liulang.

The east gate on Heishanhu Road has a bus stop of the same name, and Maliandao station on Metro Line 16 lies 700 metres east of it. The main summit stands at 210 metres, with Wangjing Tower at the top; the ridge faces Heishantou and Hanjiashan. Trails climb through forest with 95% vegetation cover, so footing is shaded for most of the way.

The Capital Green Culture Stele Forest holds over a thousand steles, and the central stele pavilion displays Mao Zedong's calligraphy of "Greening the Motherland" and "Implement Landscaping". The summit's Wangjing Tower contains a memorial stele for the 1937 Heishanhu battle against Japanese troops, inscribed by General Yang Chengwu, commemorating a downed Japanese aircraft.
