Guanyindang
观音宕
A grassy pass between Fayunjie and Diaomazhuang with wide views. It is an important stop for rest and resupply along the traverse.
Guanyindang lies on the ridge between Fayunjie and Diaomazhuang. The terrain is open, with rolling grassland, and there are guesthouses and resupply points. It is a common rest stop and backup campsite on the classic traverse. On clear days you can see Fayunjie to the north and the Golden Summit to the south, making it ideal for panoramic shots of the 'Grassland Sky Road.' The ridge offers no shelter, and the sun is strong on clear days, so use sunscreen. In fog, follow the route markers and do not stray from the main path into the depths of the grassland.
