We began our hike on time, crossing the Tangshan caving route. The route is approximately 5 kilometers long and takes about 3 hours, with an elevation gain of approximately 300 meters. The route consists of a mixture of hardened and unpaved roads, with minimal inclines. The mountain path is partly off-road and partly built-up steps.
The air-raid shelter is said to have been built during the Republican era, spanning hundreds of meters through the mountain and serving as an underground defense.
Cinnabar Cave, rich in cinnabar and tinged with red, is said to have been a place of practice for Quanzhen Taoists .
Salt Duck Cave, with its small entrance, reveals a cavernous wonderland within.
Lion Cave, with its mouth resembling a lion's, boasts crystal mines, stalactites, and other wonders.
The scenery is secondary; the real fun lies in the challenge of sharing. Fearless souls, come join us!
4:30 PM
We will complete the journey and arrive at the final destination, Tangshan Fangshan National Geological Museum, and return by bus or carpool.
