Haohanpo

Introducing Haohanpo

Haohanpo is located on the mountain climbing route of Tianzhu Peak. The mountain here is steep and the winding road is upright. It takes great courage to climb from the bottom to the top. Only heroes can succeed, hence the name.

Unlike the mountain's former climbing path, the Qin Imperial Road winds along the mountain's ridge, resulting in many steep inclines. Some slopes reach a daunting 40 degrees. Therefore, climbing the steep slope is considered a heroic feat, earning it the nickname "Hero's Slope."
