The most picturesque mountain scenery in north China. It takes about half a day to walk along the mountain path. There is also a short glass floor cliff walk. Foggy days that obscure the mountains are renowned but rarely occur.
Baishi Mountain, also known by its Chinese name Baishishan, is a mountain in Laiyuan County, Baoding Prefecture, Hebei Province, China. Its highest peak has an elevation of 2,096 meters (6,877 ft) and its main ridge stretches for over 7,000 meters (22,966 ft). Parts of the Great Wall snake around its foothills. Baishi Mountain forms the northern end of the Taihang Chain and is located about 200 kilometers (120 mi) southwest of Beijing.

泰山宫, Taishan Palace
A Taoist temple dedicated to Bixia Yuanjun, daughter or the consort of the Great Deity of Mount Tai. Like the Geyuan Temple, the Taishan Temple is also many centuries old. It was established during the Tang Dynasty, though some parts of the temple were later rebuilt. The oldest extant building at the temple is the Xingwen Pagoda, which was built in 774 AD.
仙人峪, Valley of the Immortals
A scenic valley with caves, waterfalls and interesting rock formations. Not many tourists come here, so the place is generally quieter than Baishi Mountain.
乌龙沟长城
A well-preserved section of China's Great Wall. It was built during the Ming Dynasty to keep out Mongol invaders and is noteworthy for the high density of watchtowers. Due to the area's remote location, no restoration work has been carried out and there is relatively little in terms of tourist infrastructure. There are also no crowds or fees to contend with.
