屏岩洞府

A Danxia landform scenic area north of Hengdian, with cliffs, caves, waterfalls and walking trails. The summit offers panoramic views of Hengdian town.

Pingyan Cave Scenic Area is located on Pingyan Mountain, north of Hengdian town. It is a natural area known for its Danxia red cliffs, rock caves and mountain waterfalls. Natural caves and the remains of an ancient temple sit on the cliffs. A climb along the walking paths and boardwalks takes about 1–2 hours, and from the summit you can look down over Hengdian town and the Ming and Qing palace grounds. Film crews often shoot on location here. Tickets cost about 60–80 yuan. It is a good change of pace from the film studios. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for hiking, and in summer you should take care to avoid the heat.
