Introduction Rose Peak is situated 25 kilometers north of Arxan City and 10 kilometers northwest of Yiershi Town, within the Arxan National Forest Park. It is a rocky scenic area composed of over ten stone peaks. The peaks are staggered and interlocked, majestic and towering, forming a spectacular sight. Most of the stone peaks are reddish-brown in color, which is why they are called "Rose Peak," also known as "Red Stone Cliff." The Quyitan Grassland to the north of Arxan Rose Peak is considered the cradle of Genghis Khan’s northern cavalry and the source of strength for him and his descendants during their southern invasions, western campaigns, and eastern advances. Looking up at Rose Peak from the base, the rocks resemble armored generals, swords piercing the sky, or neighing warhorses, each with a unique shape. The central stone staircase of Rose Peak leads upward, and the left peak forms an almost 90-degree vertical cliff, making it extremely steep. Standing at the highest point of Rose Peak and looking out, you can see undulating mountain ranges stretching as far as the eye can see, with the Halaha River winding around the peaks like a silver chain. The poet Edel once lamented about Rose Peak: “Through ancient and modern times, it has been a strategic pass; giants once came here. The majestic Rose Peak served as the Khan’s general mobilization platform.” Ticket / Opening Hours 50 yuan. Opening hours: approximately from April and May to November each year; it is closed in winter.
