General presentation
Jizhou and Mount Panshan
Ancient temples, Great Wall and wooded hills offer a rural counterpoint to the north of Tianjin municipality.
Great Wall of Huangyaguan, Temple Dule and Mount Panshan give the most telling landmarks of Jizhou and Mount Panshan. Together, they form a destination where mountain reliefs, heritage, forests and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Great Wall of Huangyaguan
Huangyaguan defended a mountainous passage through a series of restored towers, doors and walls. The steps are supported and exposed; a morning arrival avoids heat and groups. Architectural details are better discovered without haste.
Temple
Dule Temple
The Dule temple retains a very old wooden pavilion around a high statue of Guanyin. Its compact enclosure deserves a careful observation of the frames rather than a quick visit. Architectural details are better discovered without haste.
Place indismissible
Mount Panshan
Panshan combines rocks, pines, temples and paths travelled for centuries by imperial travellers. Cable cars and paths allow to adapt the effort, but the high sections remain steep. The weather and the condition of the trails remain decisive.
