Mentougou District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Spanning 1,331 square kilometres, with 270,000 inhabitants, it is subdivided in 18 townshipss.
It lies in the Western Hills of Beijing and is mountainous in terrain. In fact, the mountainous terrain -- including a hundred or more peaks -- occupy a stunning 96% of the entire area!
It is a treasure trove of natural resources, including coal, limestone, and granite.
Mentougou also supplies Beijing with agricultural produce such as roses, wild jujubes, mushrooms, and Beijing white pears.
The 6th Ring Road cuts through the eastern, more urbanised section of Mentougou district.
