Introduction to Mount Mian in Pingyao
Accessible in 25 minutes by train from Pingyao station, this mountain has astonishing landscapes: cliffs framing a long gorge, temples on the mountainside, narrow roads and bridges balanced above the void, the places are dizzying and provide superb day hikes. Thus, in addition to its natural beauty, Mount Mian is known for its relics and its cultural heritage: it is here that the Qingming festival was born, honoring the ancestors.
