Yintiaoling
阴条岭
Chongqing's highest peak at 2,796.8 meters, set within a national nature reserve with dense primeval forest. Suitable for experienced outdoor enthusiasts.
Yintiaoling lies in the northeast of Wuxi County, bordering Shennongjia in Hubei. Its main peak rises to 2,796.8 meters, the highest point in Chongqing Municipality. The area is a national nature reserve with extensive primeval forest, alpine azaleas and rare plants and animals. The Lanying Grand Canyon originates here. It has not been developed as a mass tourist destination and has no mature visitor facilities. Reaching the summit requires a long outdoor route, usually led by local guides who enter from the Lanying township side. A round trip takes 1-2 days. The core zone of the reserve is off-limits, so check the access requirements with the reserve management authority before going. Mountain weather changes quickly, so never go alone.
