Recommended route
Enter from Yao Wang Valley Scenic Area and exit from Pofengling Scenic Area
The whole journey is 10 kilometers, with a total ascent of 700 meters, steep slopes, not recommended for beginners!
Pofengling is hailed by National Geographic as the most spectacular mountain red leaf area in North China! It has the largest red leaf group in Asia, with a core viewing area of 2000 mu, century-old yellow locust trees, and the entire mountain forest is dyed red. However, the most beautiful scenery is actually in the valley between Yao Wang Valley and Pofengling Scenic Area. When the wind rises, the red leaves dance lightly, rendering the rich autumn colors. When the wind stops, the picturesque scroll is displayed in front of you
The entire route will pass through the red leaf forest, pass by the dry river dam, and will also pass through the mysterious abandoned base, which is very interesting! The journey along the mountain wall in the second half of Pofengling is very steep, with a very large slope. You must step on it before walking. If necessary, use a climbing stick or hold the route with your hand
🚉Yao Wang Valley will go down the mountain to the valley from the Liberty Monument, don't go wrong. Keep quiet when passing the base to avoid accidents.

📝Note
Because the route is difficult, it is best to bring gloves~ The shoes need to be wear-resistant and non-slip, it is best to be high-top, with better grip! Be sure to bring down jackets or thermal underwear! Because the wind in the valley is relatively large, it is easy to catch a cold when you stop to eat. It's best to bring a walkie-talkie!
Prepare some burgers, sandwiches and fruits/beef jerky/chocolate is enough.
For snacks, 1000 ml of cold water and 500 ml of hot water are basically enough~
