Tie Tuo Mountain

Tie Tuo Mountain is located northwest of Tanzhe Temple at the border between Fangshan District and Mentougou District, with an elevation of 1,103 meters. From the summit, you can see Jiulong Mountain, Fengkou'an, radar stations, and Dingdu Pavilion to the east; closer QingShui Jian and Jiujiu Ding, as well as distant Laolongwo, Baihua Mountain, and Dongling Mountain to the west; and Mao'er Mountain and the vast North China Plain to the south.

There are many legends about Tie Tuo Mountain, such as “the mountain is rich in iron ore, and there are many unfathomable pits hidden in the grass. Electronic devices like GPS and compasses may malfunction here. The nearby mountainous terrain is complex, sparsely populated, and home to wild animals such as leopards and wolves. Tie Tuo Mountain is called the Bermuda Triangle of Beijing and is listed among the top ten deadliest hiking routes around the city,” and so on.
