Liangbingtai
亮兵台
A solitary basalt hill in eastern Saihanba, traditionally said to be where the Kangxi Emperor reviewed his troops; the summit offers views over forest and grassland.
Liangbingtai lies in the eastern part of Saihanba National Forest Park. It is a standalone hill built of stacked basalt, shaped like a giant reviewing platform for generals. Legend says the Kangxi Emperor reviewed his troops here after the Battle of Ulan Butong in 1690, which is how the site got its name. Stone steps lead to the summit, where forest and grassland stretch out below. The climb takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and the steps are steep, so watch your footing. Admission is included in the scenic-area combined ticket.
