Prince's Ridge
  Prince's Ridge (Prince's Rock). The term "Yā" (垭) means a boundary. There is a Three Provinces Platform here, which got its name because on clear days you can see the three provinces of Hubei, Shaanxi, and Sichuan. The origin of Prince's Ridge is related to Emperor Li Xian of the Tang Dynasty (Emperor Zhongzong), who is said to have visited this area during his travels.

  Prince's Ridge sits at an elevation of 2,600 meters and belongs to the subalpine dark coniferous forest belt. Walking along the trail through the woods, you'll find towering fir trees, lush arrow bamboo, blooming azaleas, and delicate crabapple blossoms... Among them, birds chirp, and various wild animals can often be seen darting through the forest.
