The ticket office is on the right side of the main entrance. Here are some tips on buying tickets:

1. Buy directly at the manual window

2. Scan the QR code via WeChat to purchase a combined ticket with Qingliangshan, which is valid until 19:00 the next day.

We arrived at a very clever time. The sunset started when we started climbing. The scattered clouds were very beautiful.

There are many "small attractions" on Pagoda Hill. Look at the signboards more often and walk to more inconspicuous places, and you may find new things.

The former site of the Japanese Workers and Peasants School is divided into two floors. The furniture inside is extremely simple, with almost nothing but a water tank, a hardwood bed, a wooden table for study, and a wash basin. I am not afraid of the harsh environment, but I am afraid of having no future in my heart. Although the conditions are difficult, it feels like everything is available, such as clubs, teacher offices, and assistant teacher offices.



There is a ticket office next to the pagoda for admission to the tower, but it was closed during the National Day holiday, as if something was being repaired. Between the choice of making money and protecting the tower, it was a wise decision.

The Great Wall-like road next to the pagoda is the route up Qingliang Mountain. Although I didn’t go there, I still saw Qingliang Mountain at its most colorfully decorated, which was worth it.

I feel that this tower alone is better than the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Small Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an. The pagoda is not tall, but it overlooks you and me, protecting this world.

I just caught up with the show at Pagoda Mountain in the evening. The whole mountain started playing animations, mostly related to the Anti-Japanese War. The sound was loud enough and the momentum was strong enough. It felt much better than the Big Wild Goose Pagoda fountain yesterday. I have to say that I want to give a thumbs up to the planning team here.

This show also has a time, but it's hard to tell exactly, but it seems to end around 21:30. After all, we just happened to see it, so I hope those who want to see it can see it smoothly, or check the official website of Pagoda Mountain, or call to ask, it should be possible.

Pagoda Mountain, formerly known as Jialing Mountain, is located in the east of Yan'an City, on the bank of the Yan River. From the mountain, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire city of Yan'an. Because there is a tower on the mountain, it is usually called Pagoda Mountain. Pagoda Mountain is 1,135.5 meters high. The pagoda on the mountain was first built in the Tang Dynasty and is now a Ming Dynasty building. It is an octagonal plane, nine floors, about 44 meters high, and a pavilion-style brick tower.

Pagoda Hill is located in the center of Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, and is the most prominent landmark in Yan'an. The pagoda itself was built in the Tang Dynasty, with an altitude of 1,135.5 meters and a total of nine floors. It is a good place to overlook Yan'an, and the ticket is not cheap. I didn't go this time, but I looked at the pagoda from Qingliang Mountain.

By Snowball Dance |

The pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is 44 meters high and has nine floors. Climbing to the top of the pagoda, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city. It is the symbol of the historic city of Yan'an, the symbol of the revolutionary holy land, the landmark building of Yan'an City, and a must-see place for visiting Yan'an.

Pagoda Hill is a landmark building in Yan'an and a must-visit place in Yan'an. For tickets, it is recommended to buy a joint ticket with Qingliang Hill.

By tsavo |

Pagoda Hill is the most prominent landmark in downtown Yan'an. The pagoda itself was built in the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. It has nine floors and is a good place to overlook Yan'an. There are also some other historical sites and stone carvings on the hill. Pagoda Hill is mentioned in many revolutionary literatures and has become a symbol of the revolutionary holy land. The night view here is more beautiful than the daytime, and it is better to see it from a distance than to go inside.

By Yusuf |

The revolutionary holy land that I have been educated since childhood and longed for is actually just average.

By gimoon |

Well, how should I put it? It is just too famous, it is the highest level of red tourism, but in reality the scenery is too ordinary.

By Windtalkers |

Looking at Pagoda Mountain at night, we still need to vigorously build a revolutionary holy land.

By sunshinedanny |

Yan'an has always been a place I visit every few years. I always feel that it is very necessary to come to the place where the revolutionary ancestors worked hard from time to time to receive spiritual baptism. This is only the second time I climbed Pagoda Mountain. The first time was in 2009 when I drove there late at night. Later, I came to Yan'an, but when I thought about the 60 yuan ticket, I decisively climbed Qingliang Mountain and Fenghuang Mountain, and went to Zaoyuan, these free red attractions 😂

This time I climbed the Pagoda Hill on foot. Driving is too congested. There are cars parked on the roadside. There is only one road going up and down, which is easy to get stuck in traffic. It takes less than half an hour to climb from the foot of the mountain. The ticket price is 60 yuan per person, and 30 yuan with a student ID. There is an additional fee to climb the pagoda, but it is under maintenance recently and is not open to the public.

After you reach the pagoda, you can choose to continue climbing. After about ten minutes, you can reach the top of the Pagoda Hill, the Star-picking Tower, where you can see the whole picture of Yan'an City. We also saw the new city of Yan'an. Going down the mountain from the other side (where there is a driveway), you can see a college and a beacon tower, but I may not have found the college. I just saw a broken stone tablet. The beacon tower is not big. I went up just at sunset, but I didn't take a good sunset photo. But the clouds are very fresh, like a little bit of them being gently thrown there, still cute 😘

There will be light shows at night, one at 8 o'clock and one at 9 o'clock. You can cross the bridge and stand opposite the Pagoda Mountain to watch. The temperature difference between day and night in Yan'an is large, so you need to bring a thick coat.

In general, the ticket price is a bit expensive, and the service management capabilities of the scenic spot need to be improved. If you walk slowly, 2-3 hours is basically enough, and a quick tour of one hour is also fine.

Standing in the red center, overlooking the mountain city of Yan'an, it seems to take me back to the past years. In every cave, on every hill, in every heart, there is a passion for struggle, upward drive and beautiful ideals. That is the endorsement of passionate youth. It may not be mature yet, but it is very high-spirited. He carries the simplicity of the land of northern Shaanxi and the unyielding will from the bottom, crisscrossing the mountains and valleys, and flying freely in this corner. Eighty years have passed, and this land is no longer youthful and confused. It has the cautious steps and successful pride of middle-aged people, as well as some uneasiness and natural yearning for the future. Walking on this historical road, we must not forget the era when the red ideal was injected into the blood, and the simple ideal flying high on the Pagoda Mountain. On the road of our exploration, the red mark belonging to the Chinese people, Yan'an 1938, goodbye ideal.

Pagoda Hill is the symbol of Yan'an, with the Yan River flowing beside it. If you go to Yan'an, you should go and see it and take a photo.

By Risking one's life |

The towering Pagoda Mountain and the surging Yan River are quite majestic.

By Gu Dongdong |

I thought Pagoda Hill would be very high, but when I got there I found it was just a small hill. There were a lot of city lights at night, and Pagoda Hill in the distance was decorated with lights and looked very beautiful. The pagoda on Pagoda Hill was surrounded by warm yellow lights, which looked very much like the color of the moon.

The ticket to Pagoda Mountain is 65 yuan, which doesn't seem to be worth it - a small mountain and a tower. I took the battery car and walked down the mountain. The tower is much higher than it looks from the bottom of the mountain. There are many students listening to lectures and singing red songs on the mountain, and there are many elementary school students volunteering to explain. The red atmosphere is very strong. You don't have to go down the mountain by the original route. From the back of the mountain, you can see the Japanese Workers and Peasants School, where Japanese prisoners of war were educated during the War of Resistance.

The Lingshan Temple Pagoda on Pagoda Hill was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is 44 meters high and has 9 floors.

By Fart |

Many reviews say that the 65 yuan ticket is not worth it. I also wanted to go to Phoenix Mountain and Qingliang Mountain instead, but my old man has poor legs and feet, and he can't go up without small transportation, so I can only go to Pagoda Mountain. Tickets are free for people over 65, and small transportation costs 20. The staff at Pagoda Mountain saw that my father was on crutches and refused to let him climb the tower, so they rented an Eighth Route Army uniform for the old man for 20 yuan, and he returned it to the old man after get off work. People kept asking him to take pictures, and he was as happy as a child. I could also take the opportunity to climb the mountain to see the Zhaixing Tower and the Beacon Tower. I think it's worth it.

On the way from Hukou Waterfall to Yan'an, there is no expressway, so we took the national highway. I really experienced the loess plateau and the flying sand. It is unimaginable that people still live in earthen caves in such an era.

After a day of wandering around Yan'an City, it was already dark when we arrived near Pagoda Hill, so we didn't go into the park to visit and could only admire the night view from a distance.

Pagoda Hill is located in the center of Yan'an (the node of the Y-shaped street). It was called Jialing Hill after the Song Dynasty (Jialing Hill can be seen on the cliff carvings on the southwest street of the scenic area). It is an important symbol and emblem of the holy land of Yan'an. The Yan'an Pagoda, which was built in the Tang Dynasty, is also called Lingshan Temple Pagoda. It is 44 meters high and is an octagonal nine-story pavilion-style brick tower. The building higher up in the southeast of the pagoda is the Zhaixing Tower, which is under repair and is not allowed to be climbed. There is a beacon tower built by Fan Zhongyan on the northeast hillside of the pagoda. The beacon tower is a good viewing point overlooking the Yanhe River. The scenic spot ticket is 65 yuan/person and the tower climbing is 10 yuan/person (the stairs to the top of the pagoda are very steep and narrow, and are not suitable for the elderly and young children)

The city of Yan'an gave me a very bad impression. The roads were strangely built, with many one-way streets, no parking spaces, and poor sanitation. However, this mountain is still very beautiful. Standing on it, you can overlook the entire Yan'an city. It's free, which is the key! There are some places that require tickets to burn incense, but they are only a few yuan, which is quite cheap, hahaha

The Pagoda Mountain is worthy of its name because there is an ancient pagoda there. The diameter is not large and you can climb up from the ground. However, I heard from local people that you should not be afraid of high places because the pagoda has been in disrepair for many years and is very dangerous. The wooden structure of the pagoda core can no longer bear much weight.

"The Yellow River rolls, the Pagoda Mountain towers", the Pagoda Mountain is located in the city center of Yan'an, a very obvious landmark~ However, I personally do not recommend climbing the Pagoda Mountain, it has no special features, and the price is a bit expensive, 65 yuan per person, not very suitable for the elderly and children. And to go up the pagoda on the mountain, you need to pay another 10 yuan, and there is nothing to see in the pagoda, so it is better to take pictures from a distance, the mountain, the pagoda and the bridge are also unique~

As a symbol of revolution, although the scenery of Pagoda Hill is ordinary, I think I should go there, just to see what the place that revolutionaries yearned for at that time looked like. After going there, I really can't imagine the scene at that time. Although it is still relatively backward, it is under construction everywhere and has lost its original appearance. In fact, I think its original appearance should be preserved so that future generations can visit and see its original appearance. Now we can only see the pagoda to know that this is Yan'an, which is a bit regrettable!

By lisgod |

If you don't climb the tower, you can choose to see the Pagoda Mountain at the foot of the mountain. Compared with other scenic spots in Yan'an, this is a little expensive.

It is famous in Yan'an, but it is not very high. There are many towers like this all over the country. Tickets are 50 yuan.

The tower on Pagoda Hill was built in the Song Dynasty and has been well preserved to this day.

Pagoda Mountain is located in Baota District, Yan'an City, next to the Yan River, and facing Qingliang Mountain. The entire scenic area is not very large and can be reached in 20 minutes on foot. There are battery cars in the scenic area, 10 yuan per person, and the entrance fee is 60 yuan. However, it is free to enter before 7 o'clock in the morning. Tourists should get up early. There is a parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area, which is not very large. The parking fee is 10 yuan and there is no time limit. However, if you live not too far away, it is recommended to walk there.

The Yan'an Pagoda is a landmark building in the revolutionary holy land of Yan'an. Seeing the pagoda and the Yan River naturally reminds you of the revolutionary holy land of Yan'an. The greenery of the Pagoda Hill is very good, but the water in the Yan River is a little less.

Pagoda Hill is a landmark building in Yan'an. Everyone got off the bus to take photos, but they could only take photos from a distance because the tour guide only gave them a few minutes. The pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is 44 meters high and has nine floors. Climbing to the top of the tower, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city. It is the symbol of the historic city of Yan'an, the symbol of the revolutionary holy land, and the landmark building of Yan'an.

It is a revolutionary holy land, worthy of respect. I hope the Yan'an spirit can be passed down from generation to generation. Personally, I think the ticket price is a bit expensive, which is inconsistent with the Yan'an spirit.

When you come to Yan'an, you must visit Pagoda Hill, which is the landmark building here. I have seen it in elementary school textbooks. Now that I am really standing at its foot, I am still very excited.

Both sides of the Yan River are decorated with colorful lanterns, and the pagodas on the mountain are shining under the lights.

This is the holy place that I had to draw in art class in elementary school. I only had time to see it by the Yan River.
