As late autumn draws to a close and winter looms, the Limutai Scenic Area in Jixian County has issued an announcement stating that it will officially close its mountains on November 16, entering a fire‑prevention and forest‑nurturing period, with reopening scheduled for March 15 next year. We kindly ask all visitors to inform one another.
In 2015, the Limu Scenic Area welcomed over 500,000 visitors, marking a record high. Tourists from the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region have taken a special liking to this picturesque “Northern Jiuzhaigou,” It is receiving increasing recognition and praise.
The new service area within the scenic zone was officially completed and put into operation this year, effectively addressing parking shortages and traffic congestion, while elevating visitors’ leisure and shopping experiences to a higher level. Whether on ordinary days or during the peak tourist season when visitor numbers surge, the scenic area can seamlessly accommodate and manage crowds, propelling its development to new heights.
Nestled in the deep mountains of Jixian County, Limutai is indeed an ideal destination for short family outings from Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei. During its three open seasons, the scenery here is uniquely captivating, each season offering its own distinct charm. A single visit simply cannot do justice to its beauty.
In spring, Limutai lives up to visitors’ descriptions: pear blossoms drift like clouds, apricot blooms fall like rain, and mountain flowers everywhere dazzle the eye. Add to that the vibrant crimson rhododendrons that blanket the hillsides, and you find yourself immersed in a world where you can listen to the birdsong and breathe in the fragrance of the flowers. It’s not “Taoyuan,” yet it feels even more like a “Peach Blossom Spring.”
In the summer, Limutai welcomes old and new friends from near and far with its purest mountain air, its most natural verdant greenery, and the soothing melody of mountain springs—inviting you to savor a tranquil, refreshing respite.
In the depths of late autumn, as you step into Limutai, surrounded by towering mountains, you witness a kaleidoscope of colors bursting with bold splendor. The rolling hillsides seem to have been drenched in spilled oil paints, scattering hues of orange, yellow, and deep crimson. Amid the cascading reds and emerald greens, It has seized the entire mountain forest.
Limu Mountain Scenic Area is a National Geopark and a National Forest Park. During the winter and spring seasons, it observes a forest fire‑prevention period; to safeguard its forest ecosystems, the area is closed for forest‑restoration from mid-November each year through mid-March of the following year. After nearly four months of rest and rejuvenation, we’re confident that Limutai will greet visitors in even finer form. Let’s look forward to next year’s exciting offerings!
