Bazhai
巴寨
The highest and most primitive peak cluster in western Danxia Mountain. Hiking to the summit offers views over vast red peak forests, making it the first choice for outdoor enthusiasts.
Bazhai lies in western Danxia Mountain. Its main peak is about 619 metres high, and it is the highest point of the Danxia range, set in a primitive peak cluster with steep slopes and dense vegetation. From the summit you can see Teapot Peak and the layered red Danxia rock walls. The scenic area is little developed. The classic route climbs from Duanshi Village or the Xiafu area, a round trip of about 4–6 hours, with some sections requiring iron ladders and ropes. Whether it is included in the Danxia Mountain entrance ticket or charged separately should be confirmed on site. Go with companions and carry plenty of water. Do not climb in rain.
