Lena Pillars Nature Park
The Lena Pillars Nature Park features spectacular rock pillars that are about 100 meters high and are located along the Lena River in the central part of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The pillars were formed by the extreme continental climate of the region, with an annual temperature difference of nearly 100 degrees Celsius (-60 °C in winter and +40 °C in summer). The pillars form rock buttresses separated from each other by deep and steep gullies formed by frost fragmentation along the direction of the intermediate joints. Water seepage from the surface promoted cryogenic processes (freeze-thaw) that widened the gullies between the pillars, resulting in the isolation of the pillars from each other. Fluvial action was also crucial for the pillars. The site also contains a large number of Cambrian fossil remains, including many species, some of which are unique.

Jieshi Mountain Scenic Area
The main peak of Jieshi Mountain is Xiantaiding, which is 695 meters above sea level and is the highest peak near the Bohai Sea. There is a famous temple "Shuiyan Temple" in the mountain. The two characters "Jieshi" carved by the ancients are preserved on the cliff. Climbing to Xiantaiding (15 kilometers from the sea), you can overlook the sea, from the mouth of Luanhe River to Qinhuangdao Port, from the Luanhe estuary in the west to Shanhaiguan Qinhuangdao Port in the east. The 15-kilometer-long mainland between the mountains and the sea lies quietly at your feet. The sea is boundless, and the sky and the sea are one. It is indeed a holy place for "Jieshi Sea Viewing". The predecessors listed the ten scenes of Jieshi Mountain, among which "Jieshi Sea Viewing" is the most spectacular. The other nine are Tianzhu Lingyun, Shuiyan Chunxiao, Shidong Qiufeng, Xizhang Paiqing, Dongfeng Songcui, Longpan Linghe, Fengzhu Xiangluan, Xiahui Zudu, and Xianying Canglang.
Saiwai Panlong Lake Scenic Area
Panlong Lake in Saiwai is a pearl embedded in the depths of Yanshan Mountain and at the foot of the Great Wall. It integrates cultural landscapes and is the unique underwater Great Wall of the ancient Great Wall, attracting foreign tourists. The wind blows through the beautiful Ten-Li Corridor, just like the scenery of Guilin and Lijiang River. The green pines and cypresses are reflected in the lake, and the lake and mountains complement each other, forming a beautiful picture of Jiangnan. The mysterious Panlong Cave, the fairyland Xianjugou, the lifelike Toad Stone, and the cloud-covered "Little Penglai Island" give people endless reverie.
