Tianjin Panshan Mountain Scenic Area
Panshan Mountain is listed among the national 5A Scenic Spots and is well-known for its natural scenery, Buddhist temples, and royal gardens.
The mountain was first recorded in books from the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD) and became popular in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Seventy-two temples, 13 exquisite towers, and a royal garden were built on the mountain and were well-regarded by several Chinese emperors.
The main peak of Panshan Mountain is Guayue Peak and is surrounded by other peaks including Zigai Peak to the south, Zilai Peak to the north, Jiuhua Peak to the east, and Wujian Peak to the west. The splendid pine trees, clear streams, and the grotesque stones all make Panshan Mountain Scenic Spot attractive.
