Baxianshan Nature Reserve
八仙山
A national nature reserve with dense old-growth secondary forest and a main peak, Juxian Peak, at about 1,050 metres, a rare wild mountain area in Tianjin.
Baxianshan National Nature Reserve lies at the far north of Jizhou, bordering Xinglong County in Hebei. Forest cover is high, with large stands of natural secondary forest and many rare plants. The main peak, Juxian Peak, rises about 1,050 metres above sea level, and from the summit you can look out over the Yanshan peaks and the Great Wall. Trails follow the valleys, and the round trip to the summit takes about 4–5 hours, suitable for keen hikers. The ticket costs about 50 yuan (subject to the reserve). It is about 15 km from Guojiagou. Mobile signal is weak in the mountains, so go with companions and carry plenty of supplies.
