Mangshan National Forest Park is located on the east side of Ming Tombs Reservoir of Changping District, about 40 kilometers from Beijing city proper.

The park has the longest mountaineering steps paved by 3666 bars of stone which could directly lead to the top of the mountain. With a height of 9.99 meters and a weight of 3,000 ton, the grand Buddha, which lies in the middle of the mountainside of Mangshan Mountain, claims to be the largest Buddha in north China. Besides, there is also a manmade lake in the mountaintop with the total water capacity of more than 4,000,000-stere. Visitors could boating in the lake and admire the beautiful view at the same time.
