Jingangbei Ancient Village
金刚碑
An ancient village at the foot of Jinyun Mountain by the Jialing River in Beibei. Banyan roots wrap around old houses, and after restoration it has become a popular spot for photos and hot spring getaways.
Jingangbei lies at the foot of Jinyun Mountain by the Jialing River in Beibei District. It grew in the Qing dynasty as a transshipment point for coal and was home to several institutions and famous figures during the War of Resistance. A stream runs through the village, and the root systems of large yellow banyan trees cover the stone walls of old houses. After restoration, guesthouses, hot spring hotels, and cafés have opened. Moss-covered stone steps and ancient trees create a very atmospheric scene. The village is free to visit. It is about 15 minutes by taxi from Beibei town and can be combined with North Hot Spring and Jinyun Mountain on the same day.
