各位游客：
你们好，欢迎你们来到北京旅游，我是你们的导游_
以“惊、险、奇”著称的司马台长城，位于北京市密云县东北部的古北口镇境内，全长19公里，共有敌楼35座，是我国唯一一段保留明代原貌的古长城，是戚继光在此督建时所创建。这段长城已被联合国教科文组织确定为“原始长城”。
司马台长城以司马台水库为界分为东西两段，跨谷索桥似长虹横贯东西。西段山势较平缓，20座敌楼至今保存完好;东段长城蜿蜒起伏、气势磅礴，在山峰之巅密布着15座敌楼。“仙女楼”建筑精美，汉白玉拱门上刻有并蒂莲花浮雕，过“仙女楼”即是长不逾百米、两侧断崖绝壁、却只有一砖之宽的“天桥”，能过此桥者实为登城好汉。“望京楼”是北京市至高点，海拔986米，登
上望京楼，游客们东可看“雾灵积雪”，西望长城雄姿，北观塞外风情，南眺京城灯火。
司马台还为游客提供登城隐形索道、游览峡谷索桥、鸳鸯湖上泛舟、游泳、垂钓、住宿、小型会议、山寨野味等服务。6月举办司马台长城国际滑翔节、8月举办文化节、9月举办登城比赛。
司马台长城集万里长城的各种特点为一身。就拿城墙来说，此段有单面墙、双面墙、梯形石墙;敌楼的样式来说，有两层、三层、扁形、圆形、拐角形、两眼、三眼、四眼、六眼、二十四眼;而顶部样式，许多是司马台长城独有......
司马台长城东段最奇妙的还在于“险”，长城似巨龙蟠伏于绝崖峭壁之上，横亘东西，千米之内，密布14座敌楼。特别是在陡立的山峰一侧，耸起一架天梯，天梯倾斜度为85度，下临悬崖，宽仅容脚，几近直立，且无扶手，长约百米，宽仅一砖，左右两侧皆是900米的深渊，此处只能四肢爬行而过，令人胆寒!
司马台长城有两个最有特色的楼子。一个是“仙女楼”，传说是由一个羚羊变成的，因莲花仙女居这而得名，它形体修长、长年在白云中若隐若现，恰似不愿出门的少女，汉白玉石拱门上刻有并蒂莲花浮雕，为万里长城上所仅有。第二个楼叫“望京楼”，海拔986米，是北京文物最高点，站在此楼手可接天，远山近水，尽收眼底。
县内有20多家风格独特的旅游宾馆可以投宿。若住在民俗村农家，又便宜、又干净，也很有情趣。
司马台长城经过1987年开始复修，已对外开放。它背倚蓝天，横亘东西，野云悠悠，极高极险。其山势犹如人的手指并拢，呈双向阶梯状。若从西面登上长城，侧向看去，唯有一峰在上。但一旦登上第一个峰顶的敌楼，转身东望，却又有一峰逼面。当登上第二个山头的敌楼，仰头东望，还有更高一峰在上;而低头下望，只见第一个山头上的敌楼全被掩住，真个是“前不见古人，后不见来者。”登上第四个敌楼，眼下开阔起来。
登上第六个敌楼，楼分上下两层：上层是瞭望台;下层是成边将士住房，三面有窗，北边是射箭孔。整个楼用大方石块砌成，显得墩实、坚固，气度不凡长城的最高处为“仙女楼”，需登“天梯”而上。“天梯”高达100米，坡度85度，几近垂直，无胆量的绝难征服。仰头上望，那砖石砌就的台阶仅可容脚，两侧悬崖陡壁，中间这一道台阶细如线，薄如刃，陡如立。
司马台长城的最高处为“仙女楼”，需登“天梯”而上。天梯高达100米，坡度85度，几近垂直，无胆量的绝难征服。仰头上望，那砖石砌就的台阶仅可容脚，两侧悬崖陡壁，中间这一道台阶细如线，薄如刃，陡如立，不由人望梯兴叹，倒吸一口凉气。爬上仙女楼，景色果然更加壮美秀丽，俯首看脚下的悬崖，刀削斧劈一般，几缕雾岚挂在绝壁处，更显得陡峭惊险。西北边金山岭长城与司马台长城浑然一体，活象一条即将腾飞的苍龙。长城上大小不同、形态各异的敌楼，恰到好处地建立在各个制高点上，威风凛然，冷峻挺拔。整段长城，完美和谐，气势磅礴，处处显示出它的巧妙、奇特、雄伟和壮丽。再看看连绵不断的燕山山脉奔涌而起，叠起无数的奇幻;看看辽阔的华北平原无边无际，一直铺向目不所及的天边，在这博大奇异的景色中，令人不由浮想联翩。爬长城之前，须先越过一个大湖。湖的西侧，有一温泉，严冬季节泉水周围也长满青草，犹如春天。泉水温度常年在37℃，只见热气腾腾，群鱼漫游。湖的另侧，山泉却冰凉彻骨。当地人称此湖为鸳鸯湖，它是由相距十数米一个冷泉和一个温泉相汇而成的。
司马台明朝长城边塞在军事上分为九个镇辖区。密云属蓟镇辖区，该区东起山海关，西至居庸关的灰岭口，全长1200多里。这蓟镇长城段当时受着蒙古部族的严重威胁，蒙古部族俺答时常入关，向北京城外侵袭，甚至常常直入昌平、通县等地抢夺财物，骚挠百姓，直逼北京城，所以蓟镇长城具有至关重要的防御作用。
密云段长城全长425里，明蓟镇建立了墙子路、曹家路、古北口、石塘路和以石匣为中心的四个军营及重要关口，每路分负长城若干段的关隘和敌楼。平时练兵，战时打仗，形成系统的战备防御工事。
蓟镇是明朝名将刘应节、谭纶及抗倭名将总兵戚继光等指挥设计和修建的。这段长城具有墙高、墙宽厚的特点，并且在重要地段修筑仔墙、敌楼，峰火台密集，多种形状，多种用途，集全国长城之特点。
居庸关八达岭长城的旅游开展得早，这里就成了观看蓟镇长城的著名的景点。此后，为了缓解八达岭人满之患，又有慕田峪、金山岭长城被开壁观光。不过，1986年开始修复的司马台长城，游人至今寥寥。原因是，司马台地处密云东北角与河北省的交界处，从北京出发，到司马台所需的路程，比到八达岭稍远了一些。
北京一些古文物遗址的修复，曾受到国内外专家的批评，认为没有注意维护遗址的原状，也不够注意环境的艺术风貌。司马台长城因开发得较晚，吸取了教训，故从一开始便有“整旧如旧，整残如残”之说。必不可少的维护加固工作，全以保留残损颓旧的外貌为原则，切忌新鲜完整。整体环境也十分注重，举目四望，没有新建的楼堂馆所。只见群山苍莽壮阔，长城拖着那残迹斑斑的躯体，仿佛就这样从历史的风云中走来，能给人以真切的历史感。它的修复工作受到联合国教科文组织的赞誉。
檀州故郡，倚燕山而壮美;司马古台，矗国魂而威风。长城之最，华夏之骄;云水漫溯，飞龙欲腾。二郎担山，神话随风溢彩;继光御寇，英名传世留芳。和风畅舞，旭日徐升;山盈紫气，城幻龙形。游人赞而风醉，雅士来而诗成。
长城是世界闻名的奇迹之一，它像一条巨龙盘踞在中国北方辽阔土地上。它是中国古代劳动人民血汗的结晶，也是中国古代文化的象征和中华民族的骄傲。我们汽车奔驰在八达岭高速公路上，马上就要进入景区了。前面的山被称为军都山，八达岭长城就盘旋在军都山上。而汽车行驶的这条路就位于20公里长的关沟中，关沟因有古代著名的关口居庸关而得名。我们可以看到前面的宏伟建筑便是居庸关。居庸关是万里长城的一个重要关口，建于明朝，关城设有南北两门，门外均有瓮城。古建筑早已毁坏，经过近几年的修复，才使古关重现昔日的风采。居庸关内有一著名的汉白玉石建筑，名为云台，它是元朝至正二年即1342年间的一座过街塔的塔基。台上明朝又在此处建了一座泰安寺，也于1720_年被火焚毁，最后只留下这个塔基。云台是我国现存最早、最大的一座过街塔的塔基，也是元代石构建筑的重要实物，具有较高的文物价值，现被列为全国重点文物保护单位之一。
两旁的山上，过去是苍松翠柏好云遮雾障，禽鸟和鸣，溪流淙淙，处处充满了诗情画意。金代著名的燕就八景之一“居庸叠翠”就指的是这里。可惜被明弘治十三年即1520_年的一场山火焚毁殆尽。近几年虽然在这一地区投入了很大力量植树，但由于缺少雨水，历史上的景观已难再现。同时由于修路等人为因素，已往关沟中流传的七十二景，如：穆桂英点将台、仙人桥、弹琴峡等也只能听人讲，不能见其景了。
为了让大家对长城有个更好的了解，我现在把有关长城的知识向大家作一介绍。
任何事物的发展都有一个过程。长城也不例外。中国的长城起源于春秋战国，大约在公元前7世纪前后。那时候诸侯争霸，为了保护自己的领地不受侵犯，他们纷纷修筑了长城，那时的长城都在各自的边界上，是一段一段的，可以叫“互防长城”。秦始皇于公元前220_年吞并六国，统一中原，建立了封建王朝。为了加强统治，防止北方游牧民族的侵扰，秦王朝投入了巨大的人力物力来修筑长城。他们把原来北方燕、赵、秦三国长城连接起来，重修加固，又扩充了许多，修起了一道西起临洮东到辽东延绵万余里的长城。这就是中国历史上第一道万里长城。汉朝的时候，又把秦长城向西延长到盐泽，也就是现在新疆的罗布泊地区。汉长城长1万多公里，是中国历史上修筑长城最长的朝代。到了明朝，也是长城发展的最高峰，工程浩大、建筑技术精湛是中国历史上独一无二的。保存至今，仍然完好的长城，绝大多数是明朝修筑的。需要提醒的是，在中国的历史上不光是秦、汉、明等汉族统治者修筑长城，像北魏、北齐、北周、东魏、金等少数民族的统治都也都修筑过长城，而且金朝修筑的长城长达2500公里，是少数民族修筑长城最长的朝代。细算起来，从春秋战国到明朝经过二千多年的时间，先后有20多个诸侯国和封建王朝修筑过长城。这些长城长短不一、纵横交错，分布在我国的17个省、市、自治区。如果把历朝历代修筑的长城加起来总长度可达十万余里。真可谓“上下两千年，纵横十万里”。有人做过粗略的计算，假如将各个朝代修筑的长城所用的砖石、土方堆起来，修成一道高5米，厚1米的大墙，那么这道大墙可绕地球10周有余。
我们今天要参观的八达岭长城就是明代修筑的。建筑宏伟，防御设施齐全，是万里长城的精华，也是明长城中最杰出的代表。讲到这里，有人不妨要问，明朝为什么要在八达岭地区修筑如此坚固的长城呢?这主要是八达岭的地理位置决定的。它不仅起着护卫明王朝皇陵的作用，同时也是京城的西北门户。大家过一会可以看到八达岭关城门洞的横额上写着“北门锁钥”4个大字，北门指的是京师的北大门，锁钥说长城的坚固和险要，像一把牢不可破的大锁，锁在这里，只要守住此关，京城就可万无一失。可是腐败的明王朝最终被李自成领导的农民起义军推翻了。不过据说当年要自成进北京并没有攻破八达岭关城，而是绕过延庆的柳沟过去的。明王朝为了加强统治，也确实没少下功夫。把元朝残余势力赶走以后，为了防止他们侵扰，明朝在建国之初就提出了“高筑墙”的口号，开国皇帝朱元璋还派大将军徐达、冯胜等率军在北方筑关制塞，修筑长城。在明朝270多年统治中，先后有18次大规模的修筑工程，终于建成一道长城，东起辽宁省的鸭绿江边，西止于甘肃省嘉峪关，这便是我们通常说的，现在还能看到的万里长城。明长城全长6300多公里，经过我国北方9个省、市、自治区。无论从工程技术水平和设防的严密程度，都是以前的长城无法比拟的。同时明代万里长城不再是单一的一道高墙，而是修筑成“层层布防”的纵深防御体系，重点地区还修筑了多道城墙、关隘。宁夏、陕西、山西、河北等地都修筑了长城复线，山西设置的长城复线就有4条之多。在重要的交通军事要地，修筑多座关城和多道较短的墙，如雁门关的10里山谷，有28道石墙，可谓“寸土设障、步步为营”。
为了防守，明王朝在长城沿线陈兵90余万。从东到西把长城分9个防区(称为九边，相当于现在的军区)，每区都派大将镇守，这种防区称为“镇”，它们是：辽东镇、蓟镇、宣府镇、大同镇、山西镇、延绥镇、宁夏镇、固原镇、甘肃镇。
八达岭长城是蓟镇居庸关的下属关口。居庸关是“路”级防区，辖区东自西水峪黄花镇界45公里，西至镇边城坚子谷口紫荆关界60公里，南至宛平县界，北至土木驿宣府界。居庸关关城扼就北咽喉要道，八达岭处在要道的北口。八达岭以南曾修筑三道关，即南口、居庸关、上关，加上八达岭，一共是4道关。
弘治十八年即1520_年，八达岭建成关城，同期，在关城以北延庆县境内的山川路口、交通要道上，修建墩台、烽燧100多座。这时期，北方摹上俺答部族兴起，不断南下进行抢掠。正德十年(1520_年)，俺答部骑兵进犯八达岭，大肆杀鹨掠夺而去。俺答骑兵，来去神速，飘忽不定，次年又窜扰延庆地区，威胁京师，民不安宁。为了加强防御，嘉靖十八年即1539年，重修八达岭关城东门。嘉靖三十年(1551年)，在八达岭关城西北3里处建兵营，名岔道城。驻扎重兵戚继光调来北方，总理蓟、昌、保三镇防务，他对东起山海关，西迄居庸关，延绵600公里长城重新修筑。由于八达岭战略地位重要，是修筑的重点地段，城墙高大坚固，敌楼密集，用料考究。万历十年(1582年)，重建关城西门。先后经营了80多年，八达岭长城成为城关相连，墩堡相望，重城护卫，烽火报警的防御体系。
八达岭又是历史上许多重大事件的见证。第一位帝王秦始皇东临碣石之后，从八达岭取道大同，再驾返咸阳，而萧太后巡幸、元太祖入关、元代皇帝每年两次往返北京和上都之间、明朝帝王北伐、清代天子亲征、慈禧太后西逃~~~八达岭都是必经之地。至今在八达岭关城东门外还有慈禧西逃留下的“望京石”一景。1920_年八国联军侵占北京，慈禧太后与光绪皇帝一行西逃，逃至八达岭，慈禧站在石头上回望京城，伫立良久，不愿离去，因此去不知何日才能返京，不禁黯然落泪，因此得名望京石。大家有兴趣的话，下车后，可以去看一看。
清代以后，早已推动军事价值的八达岭长城日渐荒废。长城的墙体、敌楼等，由于自然和人为因素的破坏，已是断壁残垣。新中国成立后，长城的全部建筑被国家保护，并组织有关部门进行修缮。1961年，国务院确定八达岭长城和城墙为僵重点文物保护单位对游人开放。1984年，在_同志“受我中华，修我长城”的倡议下，古老雄关更换新颜，先后修复敌楼19座，城墙全长3741米，使游览部面积达到1.9万平方米。1986年又被评为新北京十六景之一。1987年万里长城被联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会列入“世界文化遗产”名录，并颁布了证书，八达岭作为万里长城的代表领取了证书，现在这个证书的原件就保存在八达岭长城脚下的中国长城博物馆。1991年八达岭又以绝对多数票被国家旅游局评为中国旅游胜地四十佳之首。
八达岭长城是万里长城向游人开放最早的地段，知名度也最高，迄今，八达岭已接待中外游人6000多万，先后有尼克松、里根、撒切尔夫人、戈尔巴乔夫、伊丽莎白女王、日本天皇夫妇等300多位外国首脑和众多的世界风云人物登上八达岭长城观光游览，这种情况，在世界风景名胜中也是罕见的。“不到长城非好汉”，不用着急，您马上就要成为登城的好汉了。

Tian’anmen( the Gate of Heavenly Peace), is located in the center ofBeijing. It was first built in 1417 and named Chengtianmen( the Gate of HeavenlySuccession). At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was seriously damaged by it was rebuilt under the Qing in 1651, it was renamed Tian’anmen, andserved as the main entrance to the Imperial City, the administrative andresidential quarters for court officials and retainers. The southern sections ofthe Imperial City wall still stand on both sides of the Gate. The tower at thetop of the gate is nine-room wide and five –room deep. According to the Book ofChanges, the two numbers nine and five, when combined, symbolize the supremestatus of a sovereign.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Tian’anmen was the place where stateceremonies took place. The most important one of them was the issuing ofimperial edicts, which followed these steps:
1) The Minister of Rites would receive the edict in Taihedian( Hall ofSupreme Harmony), where the Emperor was holding his court. The minister wouldthen carry the decree on a yunpan( tray of cloud), and withdraw from the hallvia Taihemen( Gate of supreme Harmony)
2) The Minister would put the tray in a miniature longting( dragonpavilion). Beneath a yellow umbrella and carry it via Wumen( Meridian Gate), toTian’anmen Gate tower.
3) A courtier would be invested to proclaim the edict. The civil andmilitary officials lining both sides of the gateway beneath the tower wouldprostrate themselves in the direction of the emperor in waiting for the decreeto the proclaimed.
4) The courtier would then put the edict in a phoenix-shaped wooden box andlower it from the tower by means of a silk cord. The document would finally becarried in a similar tray of cloud under a yellow umbrella to the Ministry ofRites.
5) The edict, copied on yellow paper, would be made known to the wholecountry.
Such a process was historically recorded as “ Imperial Edict Issued byGolden Phoenix”.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties Tian’anmen was the most importantpassage. It was this gate that the Emperor and his retinue would go through ontheir way to the altars for ritual and religious activities.
On the Westside of Tian’anmen stands ZhongshanPark( Dr. Sun Yat-sen’sPark), and on the east side, the Working People’s Cultural Palave. The Park wasformerly called Shejitan( Altar of Land and Grain), built in 1420 for offeringsacrificial items to the God of Land. It was opened to the public as a park in1914 and its name was changed in 1928 to the present one in memory of the greatpioneer of the Chinese Democratic Revolution.
The Working People’s Cultural Palace used to be Taimiao( the SupremeAncestral Temple), where tablets of the deceased dynastic rulers were kept.
The stream in front of Tian’anmen is called Waijinshuihe( Outer GoldenRiver),with seven marble bridges spanning over it . Of these sevenbridges,historical records say the middle one was for the exclusive use of theemperor and was accordingly called Yuluqiao( Imperial Bridge). The bridgesflanking it on either side were meant for the members of the royal family andwere therefore called Wanggongqiao( Royal’s Bridges). Farther away on each sideof the two were bridges for officials ranking above the third order and werenamed Pinjiqiao( ministerial Bridges). The remaining two bridges were for theuse by the retinue below the third order and wre called Gongshengqiao( commonBridges). They anr the one in front of the Supreme Ancestral Temple to the eastand the one in front of the Altar of land and Grain to the west.
The two stone lions by the Gate of Tian’anmen, one on each side were meantas sentries. They gaze toward the middle axis, guarding the emperor’s front of the gate stands a pair of marble columns called Huabiao. They areelaborately cut in bas-relief following the pattern of a legendary nd the gate stands another pair of similar columns. The story of Huabiao maybe traced to a couple of sources. One of the versions accredits its invention toone of the Chinese sage kings named Yao, who was said to have set up a woodenpillar in order to allow the ordinary people to expose evil-doers, hence it wasoriginally called a slander pillar. Later it ws reduced to a signpost, and nowit serves as an ornament.
The beast sitting on the top of the column is called” hou”, a legendaryanimal, which is said to have been a watcher of an emperor’s behaviour. He wasdoing such duties as warning the emperor against staying too long outside thepalace or indulging in pleasure and urging him to go to the people for theircomplaints or return in due time. Therefore, the two pairs of beasts were giventhe names” Wangjunhui”( Expecting the emperor’s coming back) and “ wangjunchu”(Expecting the emperor’s going out) respectinvely.
In the old days, Tian’anmen, as a part of the Imperial City, was meant forimportant occasions. The two rows of chaofang( antechamber), on the sides behindthe main gate, wre reserved for civil and military members of the governmentwaiting for imperial audience and in front of the gate, were offices of imperialadministration.
On October 1, 1949, chairman Mao Zedong proclaimed on Tian’anmen Rostrumthe founding of the People’s Republic of China. Since then Tian’anmen has beenthe symbol of New Chinea. Chairman Mao’s portrait is hung above the centralentrance, flanked by two slogans:” Long Live the Great Unity of the Peoples ofthe World”. Today , the splendour of Tian’anmen attracts million of visitorsfrom all over the world. The Rostrum on its top was opened in 1988 to the publicfor the first time in its history. It offers a panoramic view of the Square andthe city proper.
Tian’anmen Square
Situated due south of Tian’anmen, the Square has an area of 44 hectares(109 acres) that can accommodate as many as one million people for publicgatherings. It has witnessed may historical events in China’s modern history andis a place for celebrations on such festive days as international Labour Day onMay 1st and national Day on October 1st.
Around the Square are several famous buildings:
1 The Great Hall of the People
This is one of the largest congressional buildings in the world. Built in1959, the hall consists of three parts: a 10,000-seat auditorium in the center,a banquet hall in the north wing facing Chang’an Street, with a seating capacityof 5,000, and offices for the Standing Committee of the National Peoples’Congress of China in the south. In addition, thirty-four reception chambers arenamed after various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directlyunde the Central Government, plus Hong Kong and Macao. Each is different fromthe other in decoration and furnishings to stress their local features.
2 The Museum of Chinese History and the Museum of the ChineseRevolution
These two museums were also built in 1959. the museum of Chinese Historyhouses a permanent exhibition in four parts, covering the entire process ofChinese history spanning from 1.7 million years ago to 1919:
1) The Primitive Society( 1.7 million years ago to the 21st centuryBC);
2) The Slave Society(21st century BC to 476 BC.);
3) The Feudal Society(475 BC. To 1840 AD.);
4) The Semi-Colonial and Semi- Fedual Society(1840 to 1919.)
The Museum of the Chinese Revolution covers the period from 1919 to1949.
3 The Monument to the People’s Heroes
the monument was built in memory of thousands of martyrs who died for therevolutionary cause of the Chinese people. Its construction began on August 1,1952 and was not completed until 1958. in the form of an obelisk, the Monumentas made of more than 17,000 pieces of tranite and white marble. The purple pieceinlaid in the front of the Monument was brought from Qingdao, Shandong is 38 meters(124ft 8 in) high, the loftiest of its kind ever seen in thecountry. Not only is it an historic memorial for immortal heroes, but also it isan artistic work of excellent architectural value.
On the front side of the Monument is an engraved inscription in Chinesecharacters written by Chairman Mao Zedong, which reads” Eternal Glory to thePeople’s Heroes!”. On the back of the Monument is an article written by ChairmanMao, but in Chinese calligraphy by the late Premier Zhou Enlai.
At the top of the Monument are eight gigantic carved wreathes of suchflowers as peony, lotus and chrysanthemum, symbolizing nobility, purity, andfortitude. At the base of the monument are eight marble reliefs depicting theChinese historic events since 1840. They are:
1) The Burning of Opium in 1840:
2) The uprising of 1851 in Jintian, Guangxi;
3) The Revolution of 1911;
4) The May Fourth Movement of 1919;

7) The War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression from 1937 to 1945;
8) The Victorious Crossing over the Yangtze River by the Peoples’sLiberation Army in 1949. This relief is flanked by two smaller ones—“ Supplyingthe Front” and “ Greeting the P.L.A.”.
4 Chairman Mao’s Mausoleum
Chairman Mao Zedong, the founder of the People’s Pepublic of China, passedaway on Sepember 9, 1976. In commemoration of this great man, a mausoleum beganto be constructed in November 1976, and was completes in August the followingyear. The Mausoleum was officially opened on September 9, 1977.
灵山风景区位于门头沟与河北交界处，距市区122公里，海拔2303米，灵山是北京地区最高峰，因为海拔高、温度低而成为京郊避暑胜地。虽然灵山方圆只有25平方公里，却是京郊唯一集高原、草原风光为一体的自然风景区。
灵山风景区天然景观独特，夏季气候变幻莫测，山间云雾缭绕，既有暖温带植被又有西伯利亚寒冷地带亲缘植被，生长着杜鹃、丁香、白桦林和榛子、黄花、玫瑰等植物，尤以高山草甸最为著名，是新疆细毛羊、伊犁马、青藏牦牛在北京唯一
的天然繁衍养殖场。 灵山是天然的动植物园，山里活跃着松鼠、狐狸、野兔、山鸡、林中还有野山羊、狍子、野猪等动物。青海之舟——牦牛也在此扎根繁衍，形成了独特景观。尤为让人庆幸的是在灵山可见到稀有珍禽——褐马鸡，这里有700多种动物和800多种植物可供欣赏，还有很好的科 学考察的最佳资料。为了方便游客，1997年灵山景区修建了高空索道，全长1548米，落差430米，只需25分钟便可让您到达山顶。
北京第一峰灵山，景色秀丽，夏季气候怡人，是游人休闲、度假、避暑的良好场所。冬季银光素裹、白雪皑皑，是开展滑雪运动的理想场所。进入景区沿途既能见到古代的烽火台，又能饮到四季不涸的干泉水，您还能品尝到灵山特产的莜面卷以及当地的山榛、山韭菜、野黄花和新鲜的菌类。
灵山的植被也是虽海拨高度的上升而变化。这里既有暖温带植被，又有西伯利亚寒冷地带亲缘植被。其中1900米以上的高山草甸最为出名，它是新疆细毛羊、伊利马、青藏牦牛在北京生活的唯一天然繁殖养殖场。这里是野生动物的乐园，山林里活跃着松鼠、野兔、山猪、狍子等野生动物，还有可能见到稀世珍禽褐马鸡。
暑天到灵山能有独特的清凉感觉，但因高山低温，与城里温差大，最好多添一点衣服。入冬时去灵山，那里还是深秋，厚厚的黄色草甸铺满山坡，别是一番情趣。因为是难得的高原、草原风光，所以这里是风光摄影、学生考察、生物采集、家庭摄像的好地方。“京都第一峰”灵山位于北京门头沟区与河北省交界处，具有"首都小西藏"的美誉，是京郊唯一集高原、草原风光为一体的自然风景区，夏季清凉，适合野营避暑。
