If I had to choose to climb only one mountain, I would choose Handan East Taihang
⛰️⛰️The East Taihang Scenic Area North Peak, the East Taihang North Peak Tourist Area is located at the northern end of East Taihang, with a highest altitude of 1428 meters. The mountain is characterized by a quartz sandstone peak forest landscape. The area is filled with unique rocks, towering peaks, and walkways that weave through them, making it a natural fortress.
Guide: It takes 1 hour to drive from Handan city center, the ticket is 130r (it is recommended to use the Handan Tourism Annual Card (excluding the cableway), 88r can access all scenic spots in Handan), the glass walkway is 10r, the cable car one-way is 75r, and the sightseeing elevator is 10r.
🗺️ It is recommended to take the cableway directly to Nantianmen, the scenery up there is breathtaking.
Route arrangement:
Cableway up the mountain ▶️ Zhongtianmen ▶️ Glass Walkway ▶️ North Peak ▶️ Waterfall ▶️ Tianxing Yizhu ▶️ Cloud Walk ▶️ Tianmen Shoushan ▶️ Cableway down the mountain
Climbing to the North Peak gives you a feeling of overlooking all the mountains!
If you haven't been to the North Peak, you haven't been to East Taihang⛰️
This is the highest peak of East Taihang, the natural scenery from a high altitude is so spectacular and shocking❗️
The unique landform, towering stone pillars, belong to the Danxia landform, layered sedimentary rocks... all are majestic and ingeniously crafted👍🏻
The glass walkway on the cliff is 500 meters long
Walking on the walkway by the cliff is so thrilling!
Walk to Taihang Yizhu and then return down the mountain⛰️
Personal equipment: Prepare a pair of comfortable sports shoes, lightweight clothing, food, and water💦
Precautions: If you have good physical strength, you can hike the whole way, if you have poor physical strength, taking the cableway is more stable.

Eastern Taihang Travel Guide for Handan
Reverse travel, starting from Beijing, self-driving to Handan, it takes five and a half hours to reach Eastern Taihang. For those who love climbing, Eastern Taihang is a must-visit for its spectacular and breathtaking views. The unique terrain features towering stone pillars, part of the Danxia landform. The plank roads built on the cliffs are over a kilometer high and are considered a man-made wonder. The facilities in the scenic area are also very well constructed.
🎟Ticket prices:
🎫Entrance ticket: 130
🚠Cable car round trip: 140
🎟Combo ticket: 290
Discount method: Purchase the Handan tourism annual card for 88 yuan, which includes Eastern Taihang and other famous attractions, plus 140 yuan for a round-trip cable car;
Detailed route for those with good physical strength:
1. Overall: The last two images are maps, the fluorescent green is the route we took, totaling 13 kilometers, climbing 500 meters, taking 5 hours;
2. Cable car: Take the cable car right after entering. We climb mountains all year round, and we chose the cable car here because the top of the mountain is vast and time-consuming. We walked and climbed 13 kilometers on the mountain top, and the scenery is beautiful in a large area on the top. Unless you have absolutely enough time, you can try not to take the cable car. The cable car section has 2900 steps to walk up the mountain;
3. Get off the cable car at South Heaven Gate, and start walking towards 'Middle Heaven Gate' clockwise
4. Near Middle Heaven Gate, there is an elevator. If you have poor physical strength, you can take it. It's relatively easy to climb up more than 200 steps; you don't need to buy an elevator ticket if you have a cable car ticket
5. Continue clockwise from Middle Heaven Gate to the spaceship restaurant, Taihang Pillar
6. If you want to go to North Peak from the Pillar, do not take the elevator down, because taking the elevator will miss the fork in the road to North Peak (if you have poor physical strength, don't go to North Peak, you can continue the clockwise tour by taking this elevator down;)
7. Start descending from the left fork of the elevator, go down to the next level, and you will see the sign to the left towards North Peak
8. Keep going forward, there is also an elevator to leverage, you can take it or not depending on your physical strength
9. Walk past a waterfall and a section of the Great Wall
10. When you reach Dieyun Bridge, there are two paths, either is fine, both will take you around several mountain tops and then down;
11. Head back, all the way to the Pillar, continue down towards the elevator, keep walking, this part feels very long, finally walk to the cable car to go down the mountain;
✨Average physical strength:
Just take the cable car up and walk the flatter roads, take the elevator when you see it, if you can walk then go directly to the Pillar for a round trip, which is also 9km. If you have average physical strength, just turn back as far as you can walk after getting off the cable car;
⚠️Note:
1. The wind is quite strong on the mountain, it's a bit chilly, keep warm
2. There are two or three small restaurants and snack bars selling food and drinks, but it's best to bring 2 bottles of water yourself
3. The mountain is steep, pay attention to safety;

So close, so beautiful, head to Hebei for the weekend
If you're in Handan or find yourself there, you must visit the Eastern Taihang scenic area at least once. Located within the Wu'an jurisdiction, it is a mountainous natural scenic area that combines the grandeur, strangeness, peril, and steepness of the Taihang Mountains with the beauty of unique rocks, sea of clouds, tranquility, and ever-changing vistas. Strolling along the plank walkways here, with clouds and mist swirling around, it truly feels like 'grasping the beauty of the ridge of heaven, wandering above the clouds,' and life suddenly becomes bright and clear.
It is recommended to take the cable car up (unless you are a physically fit young person), because after taking the cable car, you start from the South Heaven Gate and mostly walk on the cloud-level plank walkways at an altitude of over a kilometer. The whole journey also takes more than 3 hours, and when you reach the Sky Beyond Sky and the Ridge of Heaven, you'll have to climb mountains. Along the way, the scenery is endless and breathtaking.

Located in the Taihang Scenic Area in the east of Taihang, Shandong Province, it has a Danxia landform similar to the Grand Canyon in the United States. It is famous for its majestic, strange, dangerous, quiet and beautiful scenery. In the early morning, the East Taihang, shining in the sun, is more a bit more sorrowful and mysterious than other times.
