Mount Langya (Langyashan)
狼牙山
A Taihang peak whose five jagged summits resemble wolf teeth; the cliff where the 'Five Heroes of Langya Mountain' leapt during the war, with a climb to Qipantuo for views over the range.
Mount Langya lies in the west of Yi County. It takes its name from its jagged peaks, which look like wolf's teeth, and its main summit, Qipantuo, rises about 1,105 meters above sea level. In 1941, five Eighth Route Army soldiers leapt from the cliff here after covering the evacuation of local residents and troops. Their story, the 'Five Heroes of Langya Mountain,' is widely known, and the mountain has a memorial tower and an exhibition hall. The scenic area can be explored on foot or by cable car, with steep plank paths and lookouts along the way, and the autumn foliage is spectacular. Tickets are required and the cable car costs extra (exact fees posted on site). The round-trip hike to the summit takes about 3 to 4 hours. Mount Langya is about 60 km from Baoding city and can be paired with Yishui Lake and the Qing Western Tombs for a two-day Yi County trip.
