Zhu'an Stronghold
竹安寨
A red-rock mountain stronghold in the northern part of the Guanzhai Mountain scenic area, with cliffside walkways and the dramatic Motian Peak. A cross-mountain cableway connects it to the main peaks.
Zhu'an Stronghold lies in the northern part of the Guanzhai Mountain scenic area. It was once a mountain fortress where villagers took refuge from wars, and it is enclosed by red-rock cliffs. Its gate, ancient paths, and Motian Peak are well preserved. Climbing the cliffside walkway offers views over Jiulong Lake and the Guanzhai Mountain peaks, and it is quieter than the main peak. A cross-mountain cableway links it to Guanzhai Mountain. Prices for combined Line B or Line C tickets that include Zhu'an Stronghold and Jiulong Lake are as published by the scenic area. Several sections of the trail are steep and dangerous, so those who are afraid of heights should take care.
