Meigui Peak

玫瑰峰

A cluster of granite peaks north of Yirshi, with pinkish rock that looks like blooming roses from afar.

Meigui Peak (Rose Peak) lies north of Yirshi Town in Arxan. It is a cluster of granite pinnacles shaped by weathering. The reddish-brown rock looks from afar like a bunch of roses in full bloom, which gave the peak its name. Steps and paths lead to the summit, where visitors can overlook the Greater Khingan forest sea and the Halha River valley. The round trip takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. The site sees far fewer visitors than the forest park, making it a good complement for those driving or with time to spare. Some sections near the top are steep, so take care in rain and in winter. Nearby small attractions include Shengshui Liangzi (Holy Water Ridge) and Motian Ridge.
