Shuangta Mountain - a mysterious place that cannot be climbed

Shuangta Mountain, located in Shuangluan District, Chengde City, is the only mountain in China that is said to be daunting to climb. This mountain is famous for its unique geographical location and ancient twin towers from the Liao Dynasty. The twin towers stand majestically and are built against the mountain. Despite thousands of years of wind and rain, they still stand tall. 📜These two brick towers on the red rock pillars are said to have been built by the Khitan people more than 1,300 years ago, but the reason for their construction remains a mystery. The two towers, one in the south and one in the north, stand side by side and are about 30 meters high, equivalent to the height of a modern 9-story building. The tower is thick at the top and thin at the bottom, and is surrounded by steep red cliffs, making it a natural barrier that is difficult to climb. It is said that even in ancient times, only Emperor Qianlong had successfully climbed to the top of these two huge rocks. When you come to Shuangta Mountain, although the climbing process only takes about 20 minutes, when you stand at the foot of the main peak of Shuangta Mountain and look up at the two brick towers towering into the sky, you will feel an indescribable awe👍🏻. People who climb this mountain need to have respect for nature, because it is not a mountain climb in the ordinary sense. For modern climbers, it is almost impossible to climb such a cliff relying on human strength and courage alone. Although the Shuangta Mountain Scenic Area covers a small area, every inch of land is full of natural charm. During the hike, you can enjoy the city views, the beauty of the waterfalls, and occasionally encounter wild monkeys. Here, whether you choose to hike or take photos, you can have an unforgettable experience. 🚗Transportation: You can choose to drive or take public transportation. If you drive, you can directly navigate to the Shuangta Mountain Scenic Area, where there is free parking. If you choose public transportation, you can take bus No. 5, 15 or 75 to get there. 🎫Ticket price: 50 yuan/person 🛴The tour takes about 3-4 hours. Shuangta Mountain attracts countless tourists to explore its unique geographical location and mysterious twin towers from the Liao Dynasty. Although it is a difficult mountain to climb, it is this very challenge that makes it all the more fascinating. If you have a strong interest in history and nature, Shuangta Mountain is definitely a place worth visiting. Here, you can feel the magic of nature and the weight of history and experience a unique journey. Shuangta Mountain is waiting for you to explore!
