Tianjin 01 :  3-Day Tianjin - Jixian County (Mount Panshan Scenic Area)

 

Have you ever tried to go for a hiking in Tainjin? Or do you want to hike on the mountain here? Hiking on the Mount Panshan that lies in Jixian County will be a fantastic feeling. The Mount Panshan Scenic Area is located in the northern part of Tianjin Municipality, 110 kilometers (68.4 miles) away from the urban area of Tianjin and 88 kilometers (54.7 miles) away from Beijing.   

If you really want to go, you should get up early in the morning. Firstly, you may take a train to Jixian County and then catch a tourist bus to Mount Panshan or you just hire a car direct to the scenic area. However, taking a train is more suggested since the landscapes along the railway are beautiful. The journey takes approximately two and a half hours. After arriving there, you can choose to lodge in a village-style mountain hotel, and have a meal before you start your hiking tour. You just walk whiling admiring the astonishing peaks, odd rocks and the ancient temples. If you like, you may go on a picnic on the mountain and then finish your tour.
