Abstract This paper aims to establish a new classification system of the recreational space around Beijing Metropolis including 5 types which are human sightseeing recreational space, natural sightseeing recreational space, artificial recreational space, sports relaxation recreational space, and folk-custom and cultural feeling recreational space. Under the first level types, there are 18 sublevel types. The results indicate the recreational space types and spatial pattern characteristic in Recreational Belt around Metropolis (ReBAM) of Beijing city. In the ReBAM region, the clustering status of natural sightseeing recreational spaces in area far away from the urban center and the human sightseeing recreational spaces near the urban center are not changed. This is mainly because the natural sightseeing places are restrained evidently by the natural resources and environment while the human sightseeing recreational spaces are restrained by both natural and the social and historical factors. Artificial recreation and sports relaxation types are located mostly near the urban areas because of the restraint of trip distance. The folk-custom and cultural feeling type is mainly located at the north of Beijing city and is in the status of developing. It is obviously different from the status of 10 years ago when the quantity of natural sightseeing type is in the first place. This change indicates that the rich historical and cultural resources around Beijing city are found and developed gradually in recent 10 years, and the relaxing life styles and recreation demands are continually increasing and developing which promotes the increasing of artificial recreation type and the generating of folk-custom and cultural feeling type. On the contrary, the quantity of natural sightseeing type increased slowly because of the restraint of the natural resources and environment.
