Pingyi Zengzishan Essential Loop Hiking Guide | Strange Rocks & Cliffs Hide Ancient Sites, Dragon's Back Sky Road Treads Dangerous Peaks The hometown of Zongsheng Zengzi, Pingyi Zengzishan, is renowned for its dangerous, unique, ancient, and beautiful "gu" (isolated peak/mesa) landforms, hailed as the largest natural bonsai in northern China. This non-repeating essential loop connects strange rocks, cliffs, cave relics, and the Dragon's Back Sky Road in the mountains. It offers both the thrill of hiking and a panoramic view of natural and cultural wonders. Just follow this guide! 📍 Precise Navigation for Parking, Avoid Unnecessary Detours Navigate directly to Zengzishan. After arriving at the parking spot, turn left and drive along the small road. At the intersection, turn right, and drive straight to the entrance of the mountain climbing stone steps to park. ✅ Save time and effort, get out of the car and start hiking immediately! 🚶 Essential Loop Hiking Route, Every Step is a Surprise 1. Yinhe Sunset Pavilion: Choosing the Right Intersection is Key Ascend along the stone steps, and you'll soon reach the mountain with a small pavilion (Yinhe Sunset). ❗Key point: There are two intersections here, don't go directly uphill! Walk forward along the stone path, and then ascend when you see the steps. This section is the first challenge of the entire route – you need to climb along the only small path, using iron chains and ropes with both hands and feet. The path is steep, so children must be carefully supervised by adults throughout! 2. Gu Top Observation Deck: Overlooking a Cluster of Peaks Like a Bonsai After reaching the summit, the Gu Top is an excellent viewing spot! Iron chains enclose both sides, and cliffs surround it. Remember not to cross the chains. Looking into the distance, the undulating cluster of peaks spreads out, and smoke curls up from the villages below, like a flowing landscape painting. 3. Elephant Trunk Peak: A Must-Visit Spot for Stunning Photos Descend from the small pavilion at the Gu Top to halfway down the mountain. Don't miss the hidden path leading to Elephant Trunk Peak! A natural stone pillar with a hole in the middle resembles an elephant's drooping trunk. Standing on the peak feels like being suspended at the edge of a cliff. The path is clear, but the view is breathtaking, and any photo you take will look like a masterpiece. 4. Ming Dynasty Ancient Stele + Transparent Gu: Exploring History and Wonders Return from Elephant Trunk Peak the way you came, and walk straight along the main road. You'll encounter an ancient stone stele from the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, its weathered inscriptions hiding the mysteries of mountain time. At the fork, turn left uphill to reach the easily missed Transparent Gu! This "gu" is named for the cave that runs through its middle. The west entrance is wide, while the east entrance is only wide enough for one person. Don't forget to take photos when passing through the cave; the light and shadows of the forest framed by the cliff holes create an incredible atmosphere. 5. Cliff Carvings + Magical Stone Drum: A Dialogue with a Thousand Years of History After passing through the Transparent Gu cave, you'll reach the other side of the mountain. Walk through the dense forest along the cliff path, and take the small path on the right directly to the cliff carvings. On the rock face, the statues of the Gate-Guarding General from the Southern Song Dynasty and the Guanyin statue from the Jin Dynasty are clearly visible, as if they are guardians of the mountain's treasures. Above, a platform hides a magical stone drum. Strike it with a stone, and a dull thud echoes through the valley – legend has it that this was a tool for transmitting signals in ancient times. Striking it yourself, you can almost hear echoes from a thousand years ago. 6. Fugui Peak: Ancient Village Ruins on the Cliff Follow the stone-stacked steps through the mountain gate to reach Fugui Peak. Below your feet is a thirty-acre flat Gu Top, entirely paved with giant stones, like a natural sky platform. This was once the site of the rebel army camp led by Wang Xiaowu in the late Ming Dynasty, and each rock seems to tell stories of fluttering banners from that era. With knife-sharp cliffs all around and a deep valley below, remember that you can only return the way you came! 7. Xiaozikou: Strange Rocks Depicting a Thousand Years of Filial Piety After descending, walk along the small path on the right to reach Xiaozikou (Filial Son Mountain). The mountain's shape here is exceptionally unique, with straight stone pillars, thick or thin, scattered across the mountainside, like a natural stone forest. Among the stone pillars, there's a natural formation resembling a filial son carrying his parent's coffin, cleverly echoing the legend of Zengzi's filial piety (biting his finger in pain). Legend has it that Zengzi once cut firewood here to serve his mother, and his filial devotion moved the mountain gods, transforming the strange rocks into this form, silently spreading the tale of filial piety for a thousand years. 8. Dragon's Back Sky Road: The Ultimate Challenge for the Energetic When you reach the stone steps fork near the utility pole, you can descend from here if you're tired; if you have plenty of energy, go for the Dragon's Back Sky Road! The natural ridge is as narrow as a blade. Walking on it feels like treading on a dragon, with cliffs on both sides providing an extremely thrilling experience. Successfully completing it brings a great sense of accomplishment! 🏁 Perfect Finish, No Backtracking After exploring the Dragon's Back Sky Road, return to the utility pole fork and descend the stone steps to the road. You'll see the direction of the Yinhe Mountain Pavilion. A short walk will take you back to the parking spot. The entire route has no backtracking, covering strange rocks, ancient sites, and dangerous peaks – perfect! ⚠️ Hiking Tips 1. The climbing sections are steep, so be sure to wear non-slip athletic shoes and bring gloves (for easier gripping of chains). 2. Families with children must keep a close eye on them and never let them out of sight. 3. Bring your own drinking water and dry food; there are no supply points in the mountains. 4. Protect the environment, take your trash with you, and hike responsibly.

Langya Ancient City - Stunning night tour! The “Guoxiu · Langya” performance is impressive, Hanfu photos instantly look great. 4. Zhuquan Village - Winter green bamboo and clear springs + tea brewing by the stove, folk wedding performances full of festive flavor. ❌ Pitfalls to avoid: - Chashan Ski Resort: few slopes and crowded, better to go on weekday mornings. - Wang Xizhi’s Former Residence: small garden, can be toured in 1 hour, better to save time for hot springs. 🗺️ Route plan: 2-day lazy version Day 1: Mountain and water culture line - Morning: Yimeng Mountain Guimeng Peak (snow scenery + praying) → Mengtong Wonderland (eat stir-fried chicken, 5 RMB tea all you can drink!) - Afternoon: Firefly Water Cave (escape cold and drift) → Evening Langya Ancient City (watch performance + night tour) - Night: Aohua Hot Spring soak (39 RMB steal, excellent for warming up) Day 2: Folk customs and food line - Morning: Zhuquan Village (tea brewing by the stove + folk performances) → Yayougou for mutton soup (Ice and Fire Festival is super lively!) - Afternoon: Linyi City Museum (free, warm up and learn history) → Lantern-lit Lanshan Street (night photos + buy handmade crafts) 🍲 Food recommendations: eat like locals - Breakfast: Must-try Linyi gruel (beef gruel + fried dough sticks, spicy and warming). - Main meals: - Yimeng stir-fried chicken: Best reputation at “Stir-fried Chicken Courtyard” in Mengtong Wonderland. - Yimeng whole lamb soup: Yayougou scenic area, perfect with pancakes. - Snacks: Vegetable pancakes (3 RMB each roadside stall), sugar paintings (Mengtong Wonderland street). 💡 Hard-earned advice: don’t fall into these traps! 1. Transportation: Mountain roads slippery in snow, self-driving must have snow chains, prioritize scenic area direct shuttles. 2. Accommodation: Hot spring hotels (like Guantang) book one week in advance! Guesthouses offer better value. 3. Clothing: Mountain temperatures -5℃ to -10℃! Down jacket + anti-slip shoes + warm packs are lifesavers. Summary: Linyi in December is perfect for budget travelers + off-the-beaten-path lovers! Snowy mountains, hot springs, folk food all included, avoid weekends for fewer crowds and better experience~ “Cold is real, beauty is real! Take advantage of the deals and go!” 💨
