Introduction to Xiaowutai Mountain Hiking Guide:

There are various hiking routes in Xiaowutai Mountain, including camping at Shanjiankou. This route is the easiest and does not require much physical fitness. Rent a tractor or mountain trampoline in Chiyabao and go to the Sanjiankou camp. After setting up camp, there are streams, meadows, and forests nearby. You can move freely, or you can climb Xiaowudongtai, the highest peak in North China at an altitude of more than 2,880 meters, with light equipment from the camp at an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters. This route passes through Beitai and Dongtai and takes the scenic Northeast Ridge. After hiking for about ten hours on the first day, we camped at Donggou Camp under Dongtai.

On the second day, we followed the clear and beautiful Donggou Stream, crossed the river 45 times in one go, walked left and right among the rocks in the cliff valley, and walked out of the mountain in about five hours. Although there are only two platforms on this route, the climb from Beigou to Beitai is the most difficult section of the ascent. Although the Northeast Ridge is beautiful, it is also difficult. Walking through the ravines, you will find beautiful mountains and clear waters, and pass through turbulent currents and waterfalls. Just pay attention. Don't fall in the mountain stream.
