Thirty-five kilometers to the northeast of the county seat and covering 5,360 hectares, the forest reserve is also the gathering place for high mountains and peaks, with 19 peaks rising over 900 meters above sea level. The highest peak, also known as Cricket Cage, is the highest in Tianjin at 1046.8 meters.

With over 95 percent of its area covered by trees, the forest is rare for North China. Scientists believe that Baxian National Nature Reserve is the Xishuang Banna in Tianjin. Legend has it that eight fairies once passed this thickly wooded mountain and were attracted by its beautiful landscape. They stopped for a drink by a rock. This rock came to be called “”Baxian Table”” and the mountain became known as Mt. Baxian (Eight Fairies).

At the foot of Mount Panshan, there is a colorfully painted arch bearing the inscription, “”The First Mountain East of Beijing””. Under the arch are stalls selling fruits and local products.

Passing through the gate leading to the mountain, a giant rock can be seen, which carved with two characters that can best be translated as “”unsurpassed””, reputed to be the writing of a high-ranking official of the late Qing Dynasty. It is said that Mount Panshan is noted for its beautiful natural scenery of pine trees, boulders and waters in a mountain setting.

Among the more than 320 kinds of trees and shrubs found in the vicinity, pines are the most numerous. There are vast dense stretches of old pine trees around the Wansong (Ten Thousand-Pine) Temple and the Songshu (Pine Tree) Ridge. The pine trees here have wistfully bent trunks and coiled branches. This is because they grow on slopes with a thin and poor layer of soil. In spite of these austere condition, coupled with the harsh climate characterized by strong winds and frost and snow, these pine trees indomitably adapt themselves to the circumstances by growing close to the ground and stretching their branches horizontally to reduce the pressure of the strong winds and to avoid rubbing against each other. This accounts for the different shapes of the trees and those of the same species growing on plains.

The key points of interest in Panshan Scenery Area consist of Five Peaks, Eight Stones, Seventy-two Buddha Temples, and Thirteen Exquisite Pagodas. Five Peaks refers to the highest peak in the mountain range, Guayue Peak surrounded by Zigai Peak, Zilai Peak, Jiuhua Peak and Wujian Peak, so it’s also called Eatern Wutai Mountain. The wonderful stones with different shapes spread all over the Panshan Mountain like stars and chess pieces, here and there, especially the Eight Stones, which could easily attract your eyeballs. Historically speaking, there are Seventy-two Buddha Temples, and Thirteen Exquisite Pagodas in Panshan Mountain during the silver age of Qing Dynasty, which totally duplicated Chengde Imperial Summer Resort. It is the third largest royal garden after Chengde Imperial Summer Resort and Yuan Ming Yuan Imperial Garden. However, during the end of Qing Dynasty, after the war shower, most of them were disappeared. Fortunately, Tiancheng Temple, Wansong Temple and Yunzhao Temple are still well preserved, which are must for tourists.

Scenery in Panshan Mountain Scenery Area differs from season to season. Glorious flowers in spring, unlimited green in summer, marvelous leaves in autumn, jade green and white snow in winter, which are all so impressive and wonderful that no wonder Emperor Qianlong in Qing Dynasty sign with regret, if I had knew there is a Panshan Mountain near Beijing earlier, there would be no need to travel so far to Jiangnan (south eastern China, which is famous for the beautiful water scenery).
