Pofengling is located in huangshandian village, Zhoukoudian Town, Fangshan District. Its mountain is relatively flat, with an altitude drop of 370 meters. There is a circular trail up and down the mountain, which is about six kilometers long. At the beginning, there was no road in pofengling. The 6000 meter long footpath was built by local villagers bit by bit.
