Once the forbidden royal land of the Qing Dynasty, the true Houlong geography, this mysterious mountain range was sealed for 254 years (1661-1915). The Xinglong Mountain Scenic Area spans 38 square kilometers, with a core area of 14.7 square kilometers, featuring not only peculiar peaks and strange rocks but also a beautiful fairyland amidst the sea of clouds. Known for its ‘strange peaks, unusual stones, clear waters, and secluded valleys,’ the area boasts a unique topography and abundant water resources. Gorges and streams crisscross, forming a natural landscape gallery. Strolling through the mountains, one can enjoy the harmonious blend of beautiful landscapes and tranquil villages.
The scenic area is rich in peculiar peaks and strange rocks, with a complex geological structure. Surrounded by undulating mountains and crisscrossing ravines, the Ganges Gorge, formed by millions of years of cutting and scouring, runs through the north and south, earning it the nickname ‘Little Zhangjiajie.’ Xinglong Mountain Scenic Area’s Baimakuan Ecological Parking Lot, Visitor Transfer Center, Cliff Walkway, Sightseeing Cable Car, Suspended Restaurant, Hundred-meter Elevator, Escalator, 226-meter Glass Bridge, Water Feature Creation, Grade A Toilets, and Signage System all reflect the characteristics of a smart scenic area, making it one of the largest tourist, leisure, and vacation bases in North China.
