Jiming Mountain Tourist Area
Jiming Mountain is located in the southeast of Xiahuayuan District, Zhangjiakou City, covering an area of 17.5 square kilometers, with an altitude of 1,140 meters. It borders Shijiaying Village, Huailai County to the north, the border between Xiahuayuan and Huailai County to the east and south, and the Yanghe Wet Valley Ecological Park in Shanghuayuan Village to the west. According to geological experts, Jiming Mountain was formed by a major earthquake about 1 billion years ago. Due to the strong crustal stress, the rock strata that had been silent for many years tilted, stood upright, reversed, and fractured, thus forming this isolated peak, which the ancients named "Feilai Peak". The temple in the mountain was built in the fifth year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (481 AD). There were more than 100 temples originally, covering an area of more than 1,300 square meters. After being renovated in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the halls are magnificent and colorful. In 2006, Jiming Mountain Scenic Area was awarded the title of "National Ethnic Cultural Tourism Brand with the Most Development Potential"; in 2007, it was listed as one of the "Top 100 Buddhist Cultural Tourism Resorts in China". It is currently a national 4A-level scenic area and a scenic spot in Hebei Province.
