Introducing Daqingshan Mountain Resort

Daqingshan is located in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. 17 kilometers away from the Huhhot-Wuhan Highway, there is an ancient Yinshan Road called "Baidaoling", also known as "Centipede Dam".

Since ancient times, as a thoroughfare connecting the north and south of Yinshan Mountain and a natural barrier, it has always been a battleground for military strategists.

In 1995, the Party Committee and government of Daqingshan Township took advantage of the unique natural scenery and rich cultural landscape here, introduced funds to develop and build a tourist area.

The Daqingshan Mountain Resort is located in Pailouguan Village. Nearby are the "Turning Danger into Safety" stele inscribed by national hero Ji Hongchang, the ruins of Laoye Temple, the ruins of "Wei Emperor's Official Office", the ancient Great Wall of Qin and Han Dynasties, etc.

In the 6.67 square meter scenic area, there are four major landscapes: Qin and Han Beacon Tower, Post Station, Majiadian Rock Group, and Dengfengzaoji. The construction of other scenic spots focuses on the layering of the picture and integrates the true beauty of nature.
