Pinggu Four Towers

Pinggu Four Towers

The Four Towers Scenic Area is located in Xiong'erzhai Township, Pinggu County, 36 kilometers from downtown Pinggu. It gets its name from the four Ming Dynasty Great Wall watchtowers on the mountaintop (two of which still remain). The scenic area covers a forested area of 800 hectares, with 245 hectares currently developed for tourism and a central woodland area of about 70 hectares. It is a scenic spot dominated by pine forests while also featuring ancient cultural elements.

The most distinctive season in the Four Towers Scenic Area is summer. When you enter the mountains in summer, the high altitude brings naturally cool breezes, and stepping into the woods makes all summer heat disappear. The entire forested area emits various fragrances that are beneficial to human health, making it an ideal place for a refreshing bath or shower.
