九峰山
A scenic area of interconnected peaks in the Yin Mountains of Tumed Right Banner, with a main peak at about 2,338 meters, a stone lake and the Yixiantian gorge.
Jiufeng Mountain is located in the northern part of Tumed Right Banner, in the Daqing Mountain section of the Yin Mountains, about 60 km from downtown Baotou. It consists of nine interconnected peaks, including East Jiufeng and West Jiufeng, with a main peak at about 2,338 meters, known as the “Little Mount Tai.” Cliffs, gorges, streams and waterfalls alternate across the area. Highlights include Stone Lake, Yixiantian (Sliver of Sky), Reclining Buddha Peak, Qilin Peak and the Sunrise Cave at the summit. Peak-season tickets cost about ¥80, and electric shuttle buses connect the sites. Opening hours are roughly 08:30–18:00 (subject to the scenic area). It can be combined with Meidai Zhao Temple in the same day by car. The mountains are cool in the morning and evening, so wear non-slip shoes for the hike.
