Climbing the stepped path takes around 20–30 minutes and rewards visitors with 360-degree views over the city encircled by the Kelan River, the birch forests, and the Jiangjunshan ski resort across the river. Sunset and the city lights in the evening are especially beautiful. Admission is free and the site is within walking distance of the city.
