I think you have Zhengbeilou too far down (east). It should be at 40°27'16.64"N 116°32'10.38"E. Also note that the photo doesn't include Jiuyanlou.

The bridge at the upper left should be your clue. That's the railroad bridge at Gubeikou. The view is looking to the west from over Simatai.

On closer inspection, it seems the photo is not taken from an aircraft, but from Wangjinglou!
Look at the upper right corner of this photo which I took from Wangjinglou and you will see the exact same scene.
