The Shanyekou Scenic Area, a natural wonder, is nestled on the northeast side of Tangshan City, approximately 70 kilometers from the urban center by car. This area is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and distinctive landform scenery, making it an ideal destination for weekend leisure trips.
Visitors to Shanyekou can expect to climb the mountain and enjoy the picturesque trails that wind through the scenic area. The mountain climb typically takes around 3 to 4 hours, with a full visit to the area requiring about half a day. One of the most famous attractions is the unique multicolored stone landform. This geological marvel is a testament to the area’s past as a sea 1.8 billion years ago, leaving behind a legacy of colorful, smooth pebbles that have since formed into the beautiful multicolored stone formations visible today.
Another significant feature of the Shanyekou Scenic Area is its ancient pine trees. These trees, with their varied shapes and sizes, offer a stunning backdrop for visitors to explore and capture in photographs. Beyond the natural beauty, the area also boasts a large-scale Guandi Temple, where visitors can enter for worship and prayer.
For those who make it to the summit, the reward is a panoramic view of the densely forested slopes, offering a wide field of vision and a feast for the eyes. The Shanyekou Scenic Area is open all year round, with operating hours from 08:30 to 16:30.
