Baofeng Mountain & Temple
宝峰山·宝峰寺
A mountain of both Taoist and Buddhist significance northwest of Tengchong, with a temple built on steep stone steps and views over the Tengchong basin.
Baofeng Mountain lies about 8 km northwest of Tengchong city. Its slopes are steep, and Baofeng Temple has stood here since the Ming dynasty. In earlier times it was one of the Eight Scenes of Tengchong. The temple is built into the mountain and reached by climbing more than a thousand stone steps. From the summit you can see the Tengchong basin and the countryside toward Heshun Ancient Town. Few visitors come here, and climbing is the main activity. Wear non-slip shoes and bring water; the round trip takes about two to three hours. Admission depends on the site, and you can plan it on the same day as Heshun Ancient Town.
