It is located in a long narrow valley in the shallow mountain area at the east end of Yanshan Mountains. It is located in a deep mountain area, with an altitude of 135 to 151 meters, and the highest peak is 775 meters above sea level. The village covers an area of 23000 mu, with 95% forest coverage.

Northwest wind prevails for many years. During the day, the sunshine is sufficient, the temperature is high, and the temperature drops a lot at night. The temperature difference between day and night is more than 15 degrees / day. Due to the high altitude of the four buildings in the north, the invasion of cold air flow is blocked, forming a unique natural microclimate. Northwest wind prevails for a long time with sufficient light and large temperature difference between day and night, which is very suitable for the growth of fruit trees and conducive to the accumulation of sugar. The soil in Beizhai village is derived from volcanic rocks, mainly cinnamon soil, covering an area of 3600 mu (about 2403.45 HA). The soil thickness is more than 50 cm. The content of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements in the soil is rich. The content of nitrogen is 1.03 g / kg, the content of available phosphorus is 23.53 mg / kg, and the content of available potassium is 190.24 mg / kg. The ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium increased the content of soluble solids, promoted the accumulation of dry matter and sugar, adjusted the ratio of acid to sugar, decreased the acidity, increased the sugar content, and the content of VC also increased significantly, maintaining a good flavor. The content of organic matter in the soil is as high as 18.12g/kg, which greatly increases the sugar content of Beizhai red apricot.

The soil type is leached cinnamon soil. The soil texture is light soil, pH value is 5.4 to 6.8, soil thickness is more than 30 cm, and soil organic matter content is more than 1.5%.
