Liangdianxia
凉殿峡
A forest gorge deep in the Liupan Mountains, said to be the site of Genghis Khan's summer palace. It is now part of the Liupanshan National Forest Park scenic area.
Liangdianxia lies in the heart of the Liupan Mountains in Jingyuan County. The gorge is thickly wooded, the streams are clear, and summer temperatures are much lower than in the surrounding areas. Legend holds that Genghis Khan stayed in the Liupan Mountains to escape the summer heat in his later years, and that Liangdian was the site of his palace. The gorge has reconstructed landscapes and interpretive signs related to this history. The site features boardwalks and observation platforms. A visit takes about 2 hours, and it can be combined with Laolongtan and Yehe Valley in one day. Tickets are required. Opening hours follow official announcements.
