Qixian Ridge

Destination Introduction

Qixian Ridge Scenic Area is located in the southern part of the Yanshan Mountain Range, covering an area of over 100 acres. It is more than 60 kilometers from the county town, at an altitude of 600 meters, and over 100 kilometers from the city center.

The area boasts many ancient trees, including 18 that are classified as national second-grade or higher protected heritage trees, with an average age of 500 years. The oldest ancient cypress tree is over 700 years old. The air here is fresh and unpolluted, meeting national first-grade air quality standards. The region also produces an abundance of walnuts, apricots, wild jujubes, chestnuts, corn, pine mushrooms, pears, peaches, and hawthorns. The local people are simple and hardworking, with a peaceful, idyllic atmosphere reminiscent of a paradise on earth.

Qixian Ridge was first built in the mid-Yuan Dynasty, over 600 years ago. It was destroyed at one point and later rebuilt in 1995. There are “365” steps from the foot of the mountain to Qixian Temple, known as the “Steps of Time,” representing a year. From Qixian Temple, climbing another “328” steps leads to the Fox Fairy Temple, the highest peak of the ridge. Even in summer, the area remains cool and refreshing. Surrounded by ancient pines and trees, the layered mountain views offer a perfect spot for leisure and spiritual rejuvenation. Transportation Information
