Cangu Tuo, Beijing Suburbs

$A natural wonder in the Beijing suburbs: Cangu Tuo Tiandong. Cangu Tuo is located in the northeast of Langya Mountain and is one of the five tuos of Langya Mountain. It is known for its beautiful scenery and towering peaks.
$The South Gate of Cangu Tuo is a natural wonder, like a heavenly cave leading to the universe, which is very shocking. Langya Mountain itself is the junction of the Taihang Mountains and the North China Plain, so it became a barrier, and it also prevented the Japanese army from invading westward.
$Yang Chengwu's troops in the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region used this as a base to fight against the Japanese army occupying the North China Plain. The heroic deeds of the five heroes of Langya Mountain took place here.
$Drive 3 hours from downtown Beijing to Shaling Village, Yixian County. Gradually ascend from the bottom of the valley, cross the pass, reach Laojuntang, and then go to Cangu Temple, check in at the South Gate, and then go all the way down to Shaling Village.
$The whole journey is 12 kilometers, with an ascent of about 700 meters. From Shaling Village to Cangu Temple is a scenic area (free) gravel road, tractor road, and step road, suitable for men, women, and children to climb.
$Cangu Temple and its vicinity have many platforms, which are the best places to view the South Gate. It is 1,500 meters from here to Laojuntang, and many tourists also go there, but they need to pass through a small cliff, which is easy to climb for those with experience. Sturdy ropes are also placed for the convenience of ordinary tourists.
