Fan Cliff

扇子崖

A steep stone cliff in the west valley of Mount Tai, shaped like a half-open folding fan. From the top, you can look out over Aolai Peak and the city of Tai'an.

Fan Cliff Fan Cliff lies north of Tianwai Village on the western route of Mount Tai. Its steep rock face looks like an open folding fan, facing Aolai Peak, and it is a classic view of the western stream. From Tianwai Village or the Black Dragon Pool area, a path climbs for about 1.5 hours to reach it. Beneath the cliff stands the Yuanshi Tianzun Temple, and from the viewing point above you can look down on Tai'an City. Few visitors come here, and the scenery is wild. Ticket policies follow the official scenic area notice, and some times require a separate purchase. The trail is steep, so avoid it in the rain.
