Early Summer Highlights

Every step reveals a new wonder

Strange peaks, fantastic rocks, seas of clouds, and hidden caves — Tianzhushan UNESCO Global Geopark is breathtaking at every turn.
In early summer, the mountain is especially enchanting in the morning, when mist wraps around the peaks and casts a dreamy golden glow over the sharply contoured granite formations.
You can choose a compact route covering the highlights or challenge yourself with a more complete panoramic adventure.

• Main Peak Highlights Route (3–4 hours):
  Ascend via Dalongwo Cableway → Zhenyi Ridge → Mystery Valley → Tianchi Peak (one of the best viewpoints for the main peak) → Hundred-step Ladder → return.
  This route is easy, efficient, and packed with classic scenery.

• Panoramic Grand Loop (5–6 hours, highly recommended):
  Ascend via Dalongwo Cableway → Zhenyi Ridge → Mystery Valley → Tianchi Peak → Dragon’s Ridge → Lianhua Peak → Alchemy Lake → Great Heavenly Gate → Tianshi Peak → glass walkway → descend via Longtanhe Cableway.
  Enter from the west and exit from the east for fewer crowds, better scenery, and no backtracking. Along the way, you can stop at Dragon’s Ridge and admire the dramatic grandeur of Tianzhushan’s natural fault landscape.

Travel Tips

A little preparation makes the journey better

• The mountain is about 8–10°C cooler than the city, so bring a light windproof jacket, especially for summit viewpoints.

• Tianzhushan features stone-step mountain trails, so a pair of non-slip hiking shoes and a trekking pole will make the trip much more comfortable.
