About Xiaowutai Jinhe Scenic Area
A forested river valley below the Xiaowutai peaks, whose East Terrace, at 2,882 m, is the highest point in Hebei. Part of the Jinhekou area belongs to the mountain's protected wildlife zone, home to species such as the black stork and the brown eared pheasant, and the valley holds the Jinhe Temple and Xuankong'an pagoda groups, nationally listed clusters of Yuan-to-Ming pagodas. It is a place for walking and nature-watching rather than sightseeing.
