Abstract: Rural leisure tourism is a new mode of agricultural production and management with the intersection of agriculture and tourism, which effectively promotes the integration of rural three industries, drives farmers' income, and boosts rural revitalization. This paper takes Beijing rural leisure tourism sites as the research object. Based on ArcGIS, the nearest neighbor index analysis, geographic concentration index, and kernel density analysis are used to study the spatial distribution characteristics, and explore the influencing factors of its spatial distribution. From the perspective of spatial distribution characteristics, rural leisure tourism is of spatial concentration type, and the degree of spatial concentration still has room for development. In the nuclear density analysis, the distribution of leisure agricultural parks is concentrated regionally, the distribution of star rated folk villages is concentrated in a contiguous pattern, and the distribution of rural homestays is characterized by ‘one area with multiple cores’. From the perspective of influencing factors, leisure agricultural parks and rural homestays are mainly distributed in the plain agricultural development circle. As the distance between leisure agricultural parks and traffic and urban tourist sources increases, the number of leisure agricultural parks gradually decreases. The distribution of rural homestays is based on the radiation drive and traffic accessibility of national scenic spots. Star rated folk villages are distributed on the agricultural development circle of plain and mountain areas, which are strongly driven by the radiation of national scenic spots, and the traffic network needs to be improved. Based on this, this paper proposes optimization strategies at the policy level and planning level.
