2013年9月,延庆地质公园成功入选世界地质公园网络名录,被授予“中国延庆世界地质公园”称号,2015年11月成为“中国延庆联合国教科文组织世界地质公园”地质公园位于北京市西北部,地处华北平原与内蒙古高原的过渡地带,是著名的燕山运动命名地之一,如一颗璀璨的明珠镶嵌在雄伟的燕山山脉南麓。公园由西部的龙庆峡园区及古崖居园区、东部的千家店园区和南部的八达岭园区组成,总面积620.38平方千米。地质公园以前寒武纪海相碳酸盐岩为物质基础,以中生代燕山运动地质遗迹为核心,是集构造、沉积、古生物、岩浆活动及北方岩溶地貌为一体的综合性地质公园。地质公园内地质遗迹丰富多彩。有距今约18.5亿至8亿年间形成的数千米厚的海相碳酸盐岩;有1.7亿至8千万年前中生代燕山运动形成的多种侵入岩、喷发岩和构造地质遗迹等;还有众多1.5亿年前晚侏罗世硅化木和恐龙足迹化石,成为地质公园中具有国际对比意义的独特而珍贵的地质遗迹。距今4千万年以来,岩溶作用塑造了美轮美奂的喀斯特地貌,成为北方岩溶的典型地区之一。亿万年地质历史雕琢了奇特的地质景观和如画的自然风光,也造就了良好的生态环境和灿烂的文化历史。早在四,五万年前,这里就有人类生息,出土了大量新旧石器,有多处文化遗迹,它们与地质遗迹完美结合,成为地质公园的一大特色。延庆是北京的生态涵养发展区和生态屏障,成为多种野生生物的乐园。悠久的文化,秀美的山川,哺育了纯朴善良,热情好客的人民。地质公园旅游基础设施完善,成为人们亲近自然,了解地球奥秘,休闲度假的绝好场所。


Yanqing Geopark became a member of Global Network in September, 2013( UNESCO Global Geopark in November, 2015). The geopark is located in the northwestern part of Beijing, just at a transitional zone between North China plain and Inner Mongolian plateau. It is one of the famous naming places of Yanshanian Movement, liking a shining pearl embedded on the south slope of magnificent Yanshan Mountains. Yanqing Geopark covers an area of 620.38 km2, composed the Longqingxia and Guyaju Area in the west, Qianjiadian Area in the east, and Badaling Area in the south. Yanqing UNESCO Global Geopark, taking the Precambrian marine carbonates as its material basis, dominated by the Mesozoic Yanshanian Movement-related geoheritage, is a comprehensive geopark by integrating the tectonic, sedimentary, paleontologic, magmatic geoheritage and North-China-type karst landform into a whole. The geopark is abundant in geoheritage resources. There are thousand-meter thick carbonate rocks formed from 1.85 to 0.8 billion years ago and the various Mesozoic Yanshanian Movement-related geoheritage, such as intrusive, extrusive rocks and many tectonic geosites formed from 170 to 80 million years ago. In addition, the geopark owns abundant Late Jurassic silicified woods and dinosaur footprints (about 150 million years ago), which have become the unique and precious geoheritage of international significance in the geopark. Since 40 million years ago, the karstification has created the magnificent and beautiful karst landforms, so the geopark has become one of typical North-China type karst landform sites in China. The long geological history has created peculiar geological landscapes and picturesque natural beauties, as well as a sound eco-environment and brilliant cultural history. Yanqing had human activities as early as about 40-50 thousand years ago, with a lot of stone tools and numerous cultural relics, which perfectly combine with the geoheritage sites. This is one of many characteristics in the geopark. Meanwhile, Yanqing is an ecological conservation and ecological barrier of Beijing, where provides a paradise for diverse wildlife. The profound culture and elegant environment have nurtured the kind-hearted and hospitable Yanqing people. With a perfect tourism and service infrastructure, Yanqing Geopark has become an ideal place for people to close to nature, understand the Earth’s mysteries, enjoy relaxation and vacation.
