Tour in the Suburbs

The mountain areas in Jizhou District in north Tianjin, with mountains, forests, lakes, passes and temples, are an ideal resort for green tourism. The national 5A scenic site Panshan Mountain, the world heritage Huangyaguan Great Wall, and the thousand-year Dule Temple are wonderful places for tourists. Living like a real peasant in the mountain brings ecstatic joy to the urban tourists.

Huangyaguan Great Wall 

Standing on the fault ridge in the Jizhou District National Geological Park, Huangyaguan Great Wall is a world cultural heritage and a national 4A scenic spot. Built in 556 and rebuilt in the Ming (1368-1644) Dynasty, this section of the Great Wall stretches from Malan Pass in Zunhua, Hebei Province to Jiangjun Pass in Pinggu, Beijing, with a total length of 42km. There are watch towers, border bunkers, Bagua castles, military camps, water defense devices, as well as a forest of stone tablets and famous couplets.

Panshan Mountain 

Being a national 5A scenic spot in the northwest of Jizhou District, it is a National Demonstration Area of Ecological Tourism. It is known for the pines in the upper part, stones in the middle part, and water in the lower part. The 856.8-m Guayue Peak, its highest peak, has been listed as one of the top 15 tourist attractions in China. The majestic mountain and wonderful scenery have attracted emperors in different dynasties. Emperor Qianlong in the Qing (1644-1911) Dynasty visited the mountain 32 times and gave high praises of its beauty.

The Shis' Grand Compound 

It is located at the center of Yangliuqing Town, Xiqing District. Covering nearly 10,000 sq m, it is known as the No. 1 residence in North China for its grand pattern.
