Limutai Scenic Area

Located at the northernmost tip of Tianjin, it is known as the "Tianjin Arctic" and is one of the three major scenic spots in Tianjin Jiulongshan National Forest Park.
Large areas of wild azaleas bloom in early spring, and the entire mountain is covered in red, hence the name "Mountain Rhododendron".
The scenic area has typical quartzite peak forest and canyon landforms, with naturally formed geological landscapes such as Rock Painting Ridge, Dengtian Crack, Five Finger Mountain, and Ten Thousand Volumes of Heavenly Book.
The distance from the gate of the scenic area to Dengtian Crack is very short. The most important landscape is Dengtian Crack, with steep cliffs on both sides, which are very dangerous.
Climb up the stone steps between the cracks in the sky to the top of the mountain. The view will become wider and there are ruins of the ancient Great Wall, which you can take a closer look at.

The ticket to Limutai includes the first shuttle bus ride. After getting off the shuttle bus, you still have to walk a short distance to get to the second sightseeing bus ride. I felt that this distance was a bit far. However, there are some scenic spots on this route, while the second sightseeing bus ride really doesn't have any. At first, I thought there would be some scenery, so I decided to take the bus up and then walk down the wooden plank road. In fact, it was completely unnecessary and too tiring. The wooden plank road didn't have any scenery and was full of mosquitoes. I found an exit halfway and quickly got off the wooden plank road and walked to the sightseeing bus road. I was almost exhausted. I strongly recommend taking the sightseeing bus for both the round trip, because after getting off the sightseeing bus, you still have to walk a long way to get to Lishu King. It's better to save your energy for the real attractions.

It is best to visit Limutai after rain or during the flood season, because there is water all along the way. The main thing to see is the water, and it looks better when there is more water.

By Follow Your Heart-New |

I saw on the Internet that this is the Little Jiuzhaigou in the north. As a Sichuanese, I also came to see it. Because I like natural scenery, I came here specifically from Beijing. Except for the ferry, I walked the whole way. The road was not easy to walk in the later period. It was a bit steep. Overall, I think it was 70 points.

By tsavo |

Limutai is located in the northeast of Ji County. It is a large scenic area. It is both a forest park and a geological park. It has dense forests, gurgling water, and a section of the Great Wall left over from the Northern Qi Dynasty. It is very interesting to visit.

By A woman like the wind |

Many of the attractions in Limutai Scenic Area are fictitious. The top floor is not open to the public. The most regrettable thing is that there is no water in the pool and the mountain springs have dried up due to the severe drought.

By Debt |

Last time I went there with my colleagues and leaders. We drove for several hours. The car was so slow. We also took the leader’s little boy with us.

By A Meng |

The biggest feature of Limutai is that it is a pure natural oxygen bar. This is a geological park that is billions of years old. The vegetation is very dense and there are many varieties. It covers tropical, temperate and cold zone plants. It is said that many of them are Chinese herbal medicines. As soon as I entered the park, I felt that the air was fresh and unique. It is probably because the negative oxygen ion content is very high. It makes people very relaxed. It is second to none among the mountains I have climbed in the Beijing-Tianjin area. The management of the scenic area is also in place. There is no dirt, mess or overcharging. The toilets are clean and the hand sanitizer is a regular brand. It is recommended to take the battery car in the scenic area to save time climbing. There are several eating spots along the way, such as cold skin, cold noodles, eggs, grilled sausages, etc. There are also several places for children to play if you bring children, such as rotating wooden horses, swings, catching fish and watching birds. It is very comprehensive. The ticket price is 70

By Mr. Wen Dao |

When I went to Limutai in mid-September, many places were dry, but it is still the best scenic spot in Jixian County. The ticket includes a free shuttle bus. I strongly recommend buying a 30-minute round-trip sightseeing bus at the foot of the mountain, otherwise you will regret it!

By China-TravelNote users |

The whole climb was a bit of an Impressionist attraction, with no real character. Here's a photo of the Thousand Layer Waves mural. You can experience it yourself.

By Xiaowu |

We climbed to the top of the mountain and wanted to sing. My son was very brave and the scenery was great.

By A0 💃Zhao Jing |

Limutai is in Jixian County, Tianjin. I have been there once with friends, about ten years ago. It rained a lot this summer, and I heard that the waterfalls and streams are so beautiful, so I took the elderly and children with me this time. Since the mountain is not high and not steep, and I heard from friends that there is a downhill slide, we went there. Let me share my itinerary with you.

Time: End of August

Weather: Light rain turning sunny

Temperature: 26 degrees

Personnel: Two 30-year-old adults, one 60-year-old man, and one 4-year-old child

We left the city at 8:00 AM (actually, an hour earlier would have been even better) and arrived at the scenic area around 10:30 AM. It was drizzling, but it stopped after a while. I brought a large sun hat to protect me from the sun and the rain, which I think is a must-have for hiking. I absolutely love hiking in this kind of weather; it's cool, and the mist on the mountain makes it feel like a fairyland. The scenery is beautiful, and there are fewer people. It's so fun. You can give your child a small water gun to play with while you climb. He'll never tire of it. There are lots of little bugs along the way, including giant butterflies I've never seen before. He loves shooting them with the water gun, and he's so happy that he keeps saying he didn't have enough fun when he comes back [snickering]. We bought a pass that included an entrance ticket, a shuttle bus, and a sightseeing bus. (On the sightseeing bus, you can try sitting in the last row of seats, which is quite exciting, but don't try it if you get carsick.) We walked along the main road, passing mountains and water. There was a convenience store at the location of the wild kiwis, and we bought three cups of sour pear soup. It was warm (I don't know if it was because it was cold and rainy, but it was warm [grin]), suitable for the elderly and children to drink. It was sweet and sour and delicious. We rested for a while, and the bread, milk, and fruits we brought with us just solved the problem of lunch [happy]. After lunch, we continued to move forward and climbed to Pear Blossom Terrace. I heard that there was nothing fun to do later, and the elderly and children couldn't climb anymore, so we walked back along the downhill road. The way up the mountain was accompanied by streams and waterfalls. The way down the mountain was a wooden plank road. It would be even better if there was a glass plank road. The view from the second observation deck was still very beautiful. We saw the mountains and rivers like an ink painting, shrouded in clouds and mist, which was spectacular. Then we arrived at the Butterfly Spring slide, about 800 meters long. It was quite fun. Leaning forward meant slowing down, and leaning back meant speeding up. Dad was in the front, the kids were behind him, then me, and finally mom. That way, Dad protected the kids, and I protected the elderly. We even took pictures on the way down—free, but developing the photos did cost money. The walk from the slide to the shuttle bus took about 15 minutes. We left the area just before 4 a.m., the sky cleared, and we even saw 🌈. It was a very pleasant trip.

cost:

1. Pass (including ticket + shuttle bus + sightseeing bus) is 95/ticket, and children under 1.2 meters are free

2. Sour pear soup 8/cup

3. Slide 30/person, children 20/person

4. Parking for small cars: 5 yuan/day

5. High-speed round trip totaling 110

suggestion:

1. Wear a large sun hat

2. Wear long pants and a long coat, as there are many bugs and mosquitoes.

3. If you are traveling with children, you can prepare some water toys to save a lot of trouble, but remember to bring extra clothes for your children in case of emergency.

4. It is recommended to bring a pair of wading shoes so that you can step on the water

5. Go down the mountain and slide, a different experience

By 11th Summer |

Located on a small hill in Ji County, the overall appearance is good and it belongs to the surrounding small scenic spots

By Yuzai 🎯 |

It's been raining for a while, but luckily, the weather was good. The scenery along the way was lush and green, as it had rained the previous day. The mountain stream was surging, and the cool, icy, and sloping stone paths were a delightful experience. It's a great place for the whole family to enjoy. We entered the scenic area at 11:00 AM, got off the shuttle bus, and took the sightseeing bus. We climbed and played, finally arriving at Pear Blossom Terrace and taking the slide back. We left the scenic area at 4:00 PM. Suggestions: 1. Take the sightseeing bus for the round trip. 2. Bring wading shoes after the rain. 3. Bring your own food. 4. Bring a change of clothes in case of hot weather. 5. For children, bring your own water guns and toys. Ticket prices: 1. Ticket price (self-service round-trip shuttle bus). 2. Sightseeing bus round-trip. 30 RMB. 3. Pear Blossom Terrace slide downhill. Adults: 30 RMB. Children under 1.2 meters: 20 RMB.

By Blow my pride and indulgence |

2018-7-29 Limutai

Simply put, Limutai is a mountain stream. There's a long stream running along it. A path runs along it, going straight up, weaving through the stream on both sides. It's incredibly cool. See the picture for details.

1. The road up the mountain is flat and made of stone, as shown in Figure 3.

2. There are more than ten such landscapes as shown in Figure 1.

3. You must buy a sightseeing bus, 30 round trip.

4. You need to wear river trekking shoes if you want to wade through water, because there is water and rocks at times.

5. Picture 5 is the pear tree from XX year. It was difficult to walk on it so we didn’t walk on it.

6. The first half of the downhill road is as shown in Figure 6. You can slide down the road halfway. If you don’t slide, there are stairs, which is very difficult to walk on.

7. The ladder is closed for maintenance.

A hand-drawn map of the scenic area is included, hahaha.

By China-TravelNote users |

I went there on May 26th. I didn't know about the road construction at first, so I took a long detour and it took me 5 hours to get from Beijing to Jixian. I bought a water gun at the foot of the mountain and was told there was water everywhere. But when I got up there, where was the water? "Uncle, how long have you been up there?"

It's just rocks, rocks. Limutai is just a small platform. Aside from the Tiandao (Sky Path), which is a nice attraction, the rest are pretty much the same. The pear blossoms have faded, so I didn't see any flowers. I climbed up and down the hills, and even tried a slide. The service wasn't great, either. Adults were charged 30 yuan, children 20 yuan, and the slide wasn't very smooth. Anyway, there's no need to come back a second time.

By ≯Within the castle≮ |

There are green mountains but no green water. It's almost dry. There are two stones and a broken pavilion on the top of the mountain. It's okay, 4A level!!!

By Qingyang Xiaoqian |

If we compare it to Tianjin's Shennongjia, there is still a little gap. Although the construction and service of the scenic area are also very attentive, with green mountains and clear waters, rich vegetation, staggered quartzite, sufficient negative oxygen ions, the ancient Great Wall and the anti-Japanese sites, it is just like Beijing's Shilin Gorge and Taoyuan Fairy Valley, where there are mountains and waters, not as densely jungled as imagined.

Choosing this place for May Day was a bit of a mistake. It was so crowded. I had originally wanted to take my mom out for some fresh air. The shuttle and sightseeing bus services make the climb relatively easy, but the road to the mountain was jammed from the very beginning. The parking lot near the scenic area is huge, and it's over a 100-meter walk. Then there were lines to get in, the shuttle, and the sightseeing bus. It took two hours to get to the bottom of the slope, and the same thing happened the next day. Although everyone lined up in an orderly manner and the scenic area was constantly increasing capacity, it still took over an hour to queue for a sightseeing bus. It's definitely not suitable for the elderly, as there are no green lanes or waiting areas. The sightseeing bus route would take over half an hour on foot, but you can see the "Heavenly Path" along the way.

You can buy tickets for the scenic area on Dazhong and Ctrip. They say you can enter after four hours, but after paying, you'll receive a QR code that you can scan to enter. It's 55 yuan for adults, which is convenient! The round-trip sightseeing bus ticket is 30 yuan, available on-site or by following the Limutai Scenic Area WeChat account. Prices are reasonable at the foot of the mountain, but at the sightseeing bus stop, two roasted sweet potatoes cost 40 yuan, and a head of corn cost 10 yuan, which is quite expensive compared to Tianjin, where prices are relatively low.

You can come here to climb mountains, play in the water, and have water fights on weekdays, but forget about those during short holidays.

By Rourou's Second Sister |

My husband and I arrived here at noon, so we only climbed the Northern Qi Great Wall. I really admire the old man on the Great Wall. He goes up and down the mountain every day. The old man also prepared mineral water, which was not expensive at all at 5 yuan a bottle. Thank you 👴 (actually, it was for everyone's convenience). Hello, Northern Qi Great Wall

By Hipster |

I went hiking with my friends in the summer of 2015. The scenery was very nice.

By Liu Qian |

My first trip with colleagues after joining the company

I was so excited when I saw the mountain for the first time.

Limutai is located at the northernmost end of Ji County, so it is also called "Tianjin North Pole" and "Tianjin's Shennongjia".

Standing on the mountain and taking a deep breath is so refreshing, a thousand times better than the air in the city.

The air smells good

The water in the small river beside the road is very clear and you can see small fish in the water.

I saw someone with a puppy.

Next time I go, I will take my Oreo with me.

By Quiet summer |

The autumn scenery is very beautiful and suitable for parent-child travel.

By Luccie |

70 yuan for a ticket and nothing to show for it. It's a scam. It's a national 4A-level scenic spot, but there's no sidewalks. The shuttle buses forcing people up and down the mountain force pedestrians to the edge of the mountain. It's a terrible experience!

By Liu Lianwangfan |

The first time I came here, I thought the scenery was very nice. There were mountains and water along the way, and there was also a cave. It looked very cold inside and I didn’t dare to go in because I was not dressed well.

This was my second time at Limutai, and I climbed all the way to the summit. It made up for my last regret of not reaching the summit. It was so shrouded in smoke that day that I couldn't see a thing from the summit.

By Jane |

Go in September, the weather is clear and crisp, the scenic area is lush with vegetation and surrounded by water, and it is very suitable for a weekend self-drive

By 檡~ |

Unlike Panshan, which has many cultural attractions, Limutai is mainly a natural landscape. The whole mountain is relatively flat and it is not difficult to climb. It is suitable for leisure travel with the elderly and children.

By Xiaomei Lake |

After visiting, I felt it didn't quite live up to the title of "Little Jiuzhaigou of the North." The mountain was still dry in June, with no water in the ditches along the road. Aside from one or two man-made landscapes, once inside, the environment was deplorable, little different from a wild mountain. The scenery was mediocre, and the entrance fees and bus tickets were expensive.

By Lu Jie |

Limutai is so beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Haha.

By Ronger |

There are five things I want to say

First, the ticket price is very high

As soon as you get to the gate, you can see the ticket price list. 70, 95, etc. are all confusing. If you haven't read the guide, who would know the trick? It already includes the "shuttle bus", so what is the "sightseeing bus"? See the next article



Second, the sightseeing bus is a pit

The ticket price includes the shuttle bus, so you will be very happy, right? However, the shuttle bus only has a distance of about 500 meters before you have to get off. Then you have to walk 100 meters to the sightseeing bus stop. If you want to save money on this bus, you will be doomed, because the ride is about 7 minutes, and they will drive very fast. The speed is hard to estimate, but we definitely felt like we were on a roller coaster when we sat in the back seat. At this speed for five minutes... If you are reluctant to spend the money, you can walk up this 3-kilometer section by yourself, but I have to remind you that this section of the road has nothing except a big attraction called "Tiandao". Let me tell you the next thing.



Third, the way of heaven is very tricky

I'm not saying it's a bummer, but the scenery isn't bad; it's stunning and breathtaking. The bummer is that if you take the sightseeing bus, this attraction is right in the middle of the bus. Once you get off, you can't get back on, so you have to walk the rest of the way. You say walking is fine, but do you know how far you have to walk once you actually get to the scenic area? It's a bummer, isn't it?



Fourth, the stream is very pit

This scenic spot is nestled between mountains and water. As soon as you get off the sightseeing bus and enter the scenic area, you'll see a stunning cliff with a waterfall cascading down. It's amazing, and you'll want to take some photos. But all the way up the mountain, all you see are stone bridges spanning the stream, and plenty of "No Watering" signs. But how could you possibly spot a single drop of water? As you descend, you're surprised to find the waterfall at the entrance has disappeared. Is it closed? Yes, it's closed.



Fifth, the scenery is terrible.

After entering the mountain gate, I walked along the large stone slabs for an hour and a half to reach Limutai, where a pear tree stands. There were people selling blessing notes, pear juice, spring water, and solar-powered eggs cooked in stone pots. I'm not calling these artificially consumed items "scams" anymore; I'm just referring to the scenic pits. After passing the pear tree and the mountain gate, I was pleasantly surprised to find a wild mountain! No stone slabs, just paths carved by people stepping on dead leaves, gravel, and weeds. And then, just keep getting excited. After two hours at the top, what do you see? A dilapidated pavilion, that's all! Not even the usual mountaintop water vendors! Not a single one...



Sixth, going down the mountain is very tricky





The only good thing is that there is WIFI in the scenic area, which is good and you can enjoy the scenery along the way.



As an ordinary amusement park, I feel so bad. If you are a travel expert, you will probably have to move on and curse! Haha, this is Limutai, are you willing to experience it? Then let's go

By Haihe River |

I went there with my colleagues. We played real-life CS with a lot of people. It was very interesting and fun. The scenery was typical of mountains and rivers.

By Nezuko is not easy |

I signed up for a one-day tour outside Beijing and came to Limutai. I went with high hopes, but left disappointed. First of all, a warning: absolutely avoid going on holidays. There was a two-hour traffic jam on the way there, and another two-hour traffic jam in the parking lot on the way back!!! The entrance fee was 70 yuan, which included the first shuttle bus. However, there was a second shuttle bus, which was charged separately. I didn't know what to do, so I walked the second section, which was pure asphalt. After a lot of hard work, I realized I had only reached the foot of the mountain. Honestly, the scenery was average, and it was just for exercise. However, there is a path to heaven, which is worth trying if you like hiking.

By Dajing |

I don't know how this place got its 4A rating, but definitely avoid it during holidays. The lines are at least an hour and a half long, and the trail is long and winding, all dirt and crooked rocks, making it easy to sprain your ankle. It feels like untouched wilderness. Although the elevation is low, only 997 meters, it takes at least three hours to walk (not including the sightseeing bus route). The scenery along the way is quite dull and only suitable for those who simply enjoy hiking and have plenty of time. Now, let's talk about the shuttle bus and the sightseeing bus. You enter from the ticket office and take the shuttle bus (included in the 70 yuan ticket). You'd think the shuttle's destination would be the starting point, and then you'd happily begin your hike? NONONO, if you believe in walking more and taking fewer cars when hiking, then you must buy the 90-plus yuan ticket at the entrance that includes the sightseeing bus. Otherwise, after climbing for over two hours and having your enthusiasm and energy half-depleted, you'll realize that the sightseeing bus has only just reached the mountain gate, meaning the climb has only just begun. Oh my god, there's still a long, long way to go. Next, let's talk about popsicles, mineral water, tomatoes, and cucumbers, ranging from 3 to 5 yuan depending on the altitude of the mountain. They're sold along the way. Pear King's pear juice is 10 yuan a cup, and the taste is not too sweet or greasy. The downhill slide is 30 yuan for adults, and free for those under 1.2 meters. This is barely the only memorable part of the scenic area, but it's also very short. Photos of the slide are 10 yuan each. Then, the line for the downhill sightseeing bus lasted an hour and a half. Because the shuttle is free, there's no one to manage it, and there's not even a queue. You have to rely on your own strength. There were already fights along the way, and people got their faces broken. Finally, let's talk about the parking lot. The lanes are chaotically designed, and there's no one to squeeze into traffic.

By Singing and expressing feelings |

During the three days of Qingming Festival, it wasn't convenient to go far, so I wandered around the area and chose Limutai. During Qingming Festival, only a few branches had sprouted, with a few small flowers blooming along the roadside. The ponds were dry, making it feel a bit bleak. If you want to go, it's best to go during the rainy season, when there's at least green leaves and water. The slide down the mountain is great and fun, making it a great way to get down and save time.

The scenery alone makes it a lovely holiday getaway. However, the 70 yuan adult ticket is bundled with the shuttle bus outside the park, which covers the first section of the road up the mountain. You can't buy a separate ticket, unlike the separate tickets I saw posted by a beekeeper. However, the distance from the farmhouse gate to the second gate, where you take the mandatory shuttle bus, is less than a kilometer. The ride takes a few minutes, and the walk takes seven minutes. At the second gate inside the scenic area, there's a ticket office for another shuttle bus. Tickets for the second gate are optional, and the distance is several times longer than the first section. The forced salesmanship of the first section felt utterly terrible.

Oh, and by the way, the so-called half-price for seniors isn't 70 yuan. The first shuttle bus doesn't offer half-price, so don't say the tickets are all 70 yuan. The truth is, only the ticket that can't be purchased separately is half-price, which is 45 yuan. And, it's not really a small amount of money, and it's something that makes me really angry.

By Taste of Life |

The so-called Limutai is a pear tree forest, a good place in the suburbs with nice scenery.

By Sarah |

When I went there in April, there was not much water, so it was not very interesting. It is said that the scenery will be very good after the heavy rain in the summer. It is still a good place for a weekend day trip. Although the overall scenery in April is average, the blooming pear blossoms in the mountains are quite suitable for taking pictures.

By Vegetable fish |

Going to Limutai purely for the fresh air and mountain climbing is a great option, but if you're going for the scenic views, caution is advised. First, the scenery is rather monotonous, lacking anything truly breathtaking. Some people hike up the Tiandao Trail, while others climb to the summit of Limutai. I recommend the Tiandao Trail, as the further up the mountain, the less interesting it becomes, with fewer sights to see. The Tiandao Trail, on the other hand, is quite nice. So, just hike up to the Tiandao Trail and avoid taking the sightseeing bus up there; the scenery isn't particularly impressive. Food, water, and fruit are available along the way, and they're not expensive. Grilled sausages are around 5 yuan each, so don't pack too much.

By shch1000 |

We went there at the end of August. The weather was very good, but we were short on time so we didn't reach the top of the mountain. I calculated that it would take 3.5 hours to walk to the top.

By Tianjin Girl |

( ^_^ ) It's pretty good. The autumn colors are very strong, yellow, red, green, and all kinds of colors fill the mountains. Climb slowly and find a rock to sit on when you are tired. It's beautiful. The ticket is not expensive.

By xiaomao |

It is a good place to escape the summer heat near the capital. It is very cool at night in summer and its tourism development is becoming more and more complete.

By Dutch East |

The worst known tourist attraction in China, no doubt about it! The visitor center outside is really bluffing. I spent 75 yuan for the ticket plus 30 yuan for the tour bus. I found out after entering that... Oh, no more words, you can go and see for yourself if you want to.

By apple |

The scenery here is unique. I really recommend Limutai. It is very beautiful and the photos taken will be very beautiful.

Limutai is located in Jixian County, Tianjin. I feel like, before the grass even grows, just hiking the mountain trails and the Northern Qi Dynasty Great Wall is enough to visit Limutai. The 70 yuan entrance fee includes a round-trip shuttle bus. There are farmhouses inside, so the price might be cheaper. After the shuttle, there's a sightseeing bus for 30 yuan per person round trip. It takes you to a parking area inside, where you can continue hiking. If you only want to explore the Sky Road, don't buy this ticket! Otherwise, you'll have to walk quite a distance. By the time it was time to walk on your own, you were almost exhausted. It's all uphill, no steps, but it was still quite tiring. I went there in early April, but there was no water or greenery, so it wasn't very picturesque. The air was fresh, though; it served as an oxygen bar.

First, let me give you a brief introduction to this scenic spot: The Limutai Scenic Area is not big. There are eco-friendly buses from the ticket office to the foot of the mountain. They are not free, so it is recommended that you take a bus when you go there and walk when you come back. There are many fruit trees on both sides of the road, and you can take photos when you pass by Yitiantian.

If you're going up the mountain, the gravel path is not easy to walk on and you can easily sprain your ankle, but the high negative ion content and fresh air are good for cleansing your lungs. It takes about three hours to reach the top, where there are many squirrels.

Finally, let's talk about accommodation and dining: There are many farmhouses at the entrance of the scenic area, and the price is very cheap, about 100 yuan a day including food and accommodation, with fish and meat. It will be more expensive on weekends. There is a model village nearby, which is very unique and worth visiting.

That’s all I have to say. I hope it helps you guys!

Overall it's good, but the commercial atmosphere is a bit strong. The Five Finger Mountain looks quite interesting when you first enter the scenic area.

When we got to Limutai, there wasn't much water in this season, and there were only lush trees along the way. The mountain road was very steep, and if it weren't for the beautiful scenery, I really didn't want to continue walking.

The climate in Limutai in August is not too hot, and there is a slight temperature difference between morning and evening. Due to the low rainfall, there is not much water in the scenic area, but the scenery is still good.

Because of the drought, the scenic area suddenly became dull. Without water, it was just a man-made dirt hill.

The scenery is beautiful, with mountains and water. It's a pity that it's been quite dry this year, so there's very little water. If there were more water, it would have been even more perfect! After entering the gate, there's about a five-kilometer road. You can take an electric car or just walk. Then the mountain road starts to climb. It takes about an hour, and then the road ends, and you have to take the dirt road. We didn't go any further up, but I heard it's quite far. We arrived at 3 pm, which was a bit late, so we didn't make it to the top of Limu Peak. I really want to go again, and I'll definitely walk to the top next time!

This is a national geological park. The elevation is less than 1,000 meters, 997 meters. It's a long climb! The mountain streams are clear, but they're rare! The summit is a ridge-like platform, well worth the effort!

It's a beautiful scenic spot, but it's more beautiful in summer when there's a lot of rain.

It was the first time for me to go out for a trip with my girlfriend to relax. It felt great to avoid the peak holiday season. I could enjoy the scenery freely without having to squeeze into the crowds. The farmhouse was quieter after the holidays. There were only four of us in the farmhouse we stayed in, O(∩_∩)O haha~ This time we were traveling by car, so we had more free time. We went to Limutai on the first day and planned to go to Baxian Mountain on the second day. As a result, when we got to Baxian Mountain, we saw bare hilltops, so we turned back. We picked some fruits on the way and came back. Overall, I feel that this trip to Jixian County is pretty good.



Whether the scenery is beautiful or not depends on whether the person accompanying you to see it is happy or not! It was my first time to go on a trip with my girlfriend to relax.

On the morning of June 16th, after breakfast at a farmhouse in Panshan, I drove straight to Limutai. It was my first time driving on a mountain road, and I was quite nervous. The twists and turns, the ups and downs, made me nervous. Although I had no time to appreciate the surrounding scenery, I still felt the feeling of "mountains and rivers are so steep that you think there is no way out, but suddenly you see a village with willows and flowers." Because there were constant signs prohibiting stopping for photos, I didn't take any photos along the way, which was a bit regretful.

When you get to Limutai, you must climb the "One Line Sky" here, and go up from this crack in the sky. The mountain is quite steep and it is still a little difficult.

Tickets at 50 yuan each are not cheap.

The scenery at the entrance is okay, but it feels like it lacks a lot of spiritual energy, probably because of the lack of water. The small waterfall next to the General Rock feels like it doesn't have enough water flow like a tap.

I have been to Limutai four times. It was rainy season and there was a lot of water. It was very comfortable to walk barefoot.

A few years ago, I went there with my colleagues. There were mountains and water, and the scenery was beautiful. It was unexpectedly beautiful. Personally, I feel that it is better than Panshan. It is fun and not tiring.
