The township is located in the deep mountain area of the northern section of Taihang Mountain. A series of ridges run through the north and south, and the East and West wings are crisscross with gullies. The terrain fluctuates greatly. The highest point is heiguduo mountain, with an altitude of 1632.17 meters, and the lowest point is Balitang, with an altitude of 407 meters. Ma'angou water source from the northern mountains, southeast through the Longzhuang Lake exit, into the Juma River. Before 1949, the countryside was covered with forests, wild animals, closed traffic and few people, especially in Fuhe and Senshui areas in the southwest. There are 77735 Mu forest land in the township, which is the area with the highest forest and vegetation coverage in Beijing. The climate is cool with high mountains and lush forests. Coal is produced in the north and limestone in the south, but water shortage is serious, so it is difficult for villagers to drink water. Since 1969, with the support of the agricultural support team of capital Motor Company and the district water conservancy department, the problem of draught has been basically solved by drilling motor wells and repairing reservoirs.

administrative division

famous scenery

Huatai natural scenic spot

Huatai is located in the East Village of Puwa Township, close to national highway 108, only 1km away from the intersection of Zhangbao highway and national highway 108. Location: it borders Yesanpo national scenic spot in the West and North, Shidu famous scenic spot in the South and baicaopan scenic spot in the East. Huatai is a high mountain platform surrounded by artificial coniferous forest, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. It belongs to warm temperate semi humid climate zone, with an annual average temperature of 9-10 ℃. The development range of this area is 1100-1200 meters above sea level, with a total planning area of 70 hectares (1050 mu), and the slope is relatively gentle. The large area of Pinus tabulaeformis and Larix gmelinii forests here form a green ocean, forming a natural oxygen bar, which has the excellent conditions for building a large-scale summer resort. The development and construction of fitness and leisure resort here can not only make up for the defect that there are water, mountains and no forest in Shidu sightseeing, but also make up for the lack of mountain scenery and no residence in Yesanpo, Shidu and Baihua mountains And white grass bank, forming a strong tourism regional group.

The legend of camel stone

A long time ago, the southwest of Beijing was a vast sea, and the edge of the sea was at the junction of Shidu and Puwa township. On one side is the rough sea, and on the other side is the sand dunes on the coast. The grass is rich and the water is beautiful, the cattle, sheep and camels are in groups. Life is leisurely and the environment is unique. Later, nature's orogeny turned the sea into land. What we call camel stone is the result of nature's uncanny orogeny. In ancient times, on the edge of the sea in the west of Beijing, there lived a group of carefree camels. They played in the mountains during the day, slept in the jungle at night, went to the seaside to take a bath when it was hot, and lay on the beach to bask in the sun when it was cold. In recent days, some strange things have happened at the seaside, such as the sudden rise of the sea and the sudden cracking of the mountains, which makes all kinds of animals living here feel unable to bear these disturbances. This group of camels is no exception. Under the leadership of Luo, a credible leader of their own, they try their best to avoid these disasters by changing places one day. However, there are more and more strange things here every day. One day, the leader Luo took everyone to a low-lying place to have a rest. He was responsible for waiting beside the Luo group. Once something happened, he informed everyone to escape. Another tsunami suddenly happened that night, and a lot of land was flooded by torrential water, including the depression where the camels rest. If the leading camels had not been alert and found out the situation ahead of time and pushed everyone up one by one, they would have all become the victims of the tide. What about the leading camel? However, he was involved in the sea because he saved everyone. He was rushed to the peak on the east side of today's Xiehe village. Because he missed his camels, he stood on the top of the mountain and looked to the east every day. Over time, he stood as a stone elephant standing on the mountain. As long as you pass by the mountain in the east of the village, you will still see it holding its position faithfully.

Economic overview

The economy of the township is dominated by forestry and animal husbandry, and diversified economy. Walnut, apple, apricot and prickly ash are the main forest fruits, while corn, millet and beans are the main food crops. In 2003, the total industrial output value of the township was 8.002 million yuan, and the total agricultural output value was 19.599 million yuan. It is one of the poor townships in Beijing.

In the past, Puwa Township used to take coal as the leading industry, and the income of coal industry accounted for more than 80% of the total income of the township. Although the coal mine production has brought higher economic benefits to the township, it has also caused serious damage to our ecological environment. Therefore, in accordance with the relevant requirements of the urban area, in 2008, the township completely withdrew from the coal industry, ending the history of coal mining in Puwa township. After the exit of coal industry, in order to speed up the pace of industrial transformation, we reexamined the resources, advantages and disadvantages of Puwa, formulated the development orientation of "Beijing small Tibet - gaoshanpuwa" according to the regional characteristics, developed the alpine economy and outdoor leisure industry, highlighted the breeding industry of Apis cerana cerana and Mahe peach, and finally realized the dream of getting rich in gaoshanpuwa by taking gaoshanpuwa as the development path . Over the past few years, more than 50 million yuan has been invested in ecological construction. Through the implementation of a series of projects such as small watershed management, mine vegetation restoration and barren mountain afforestation, the environment of the whole township has been greatly improved, and the function of ecological conservation has been further reflected. In terms of industry, relying on the advantages of cold and cool ecological altitude, we have focused on the development of Alpine ecological leisure tourism industry, focusing on the "Alpine" brand, highlighting the characteristics of Alpine leisure. We have built three scenic spots, namely Huatai, queming mountain and dayoulong, three tourist service centers, 10 kilometers of ridge trails, 27 scenic pavilions, 31 health wooden houses, 15 viewing platforms and 10 Alpine caves To upgrade 130 folk custom tourism households in the township, improve the quality of hardware and software services, and establish three village level tourism cooperation organizations, including Dongcun, luzishui and Xiehe, to develop the village collective economy. At the same time, on the basis of successfully holding the opening ceremony of Huatai Alpine automobile Camping Park in 2013, further strengthen the publicity, set up tourism consultation points in Shidu, and set up tourism service centers Agricultural products online shop, strive to create Puwa "green fashion, sports and leisure, quiet health, international high-end" tourism image. On the other hand, taking the approval as the opportunity of Beijing's nature protection, we should give full play to the regional advantages, develop the hillside and valley, develop the characteristic cultivation industry of edible fungi, Chinese bee, hemp walnut and so on, build the planting base of edible fungi under the forest, establish the professional cooperation organization of rice bean and Chinese bee, drive 500 farmers in the township to develop the characteristic cultivation industry, and benefit the unemployed labor force of coal mines We have got jobs and achieved win-win results.
