Explore the Volcanic Ruins of Shitiao Mountain | Unlock the Lesser-known Wonders around Beijing.

🌟Highlights: Shitiao Mountain, one of the seven volcanic rock pillar groups in China, is located in Shuguang Village, Taipusi Banner, Xilin Gol League, Inner Mongolia. It is a basalt rock pillar formed by the magma erupted from the submarine volcano about 200 million years ago. It is about 4 hours' drive from Beijing. Shitiao Mountain has also been on the cover of National Geographic magazine in China. The ingenious workmanship of nature and the fantasy of volcanic rock pillars have made it a paradise for photography enthusiasts. 📷Photo Spots: ✅Rock Pillar Group: The core landscape of Shitiao Mountain. Here you can take photos of the spectacular and peculiar rock pillar landscape. Especially at sunrise or sunset, the sun shines on the rock pillars, which is even more unique. ✅Mountain Top: Overlooking from the top of the mountain, you can see the magnificent scenery of the entire Shitiao Mountain, as well as the vast grassland and mountains in the distance. Here, you can take panoramic photos, perfectly integrating the majesty of Shitiao Mountain and the vastness of the grassland. ✅Foot of the Mountain: Near the foot of the mountain, you can find some interesting foreground elements, such as scattered boulders and lush vegetation. These elements can form an interesting contrast with the rock pillar group in the distance, adding more layers to the photos. ✅Camping⛺️: Camping in Shitiao Mountain, you can take photos of Shitiao Mountain under the starry sky, or the beautiful scenery of the first ray of morning sun shining on the rock pillars. You can bring a tripod and use a wide-angle lens to capture more details and changes in light. 🕙Opening Hours: All day 🎫Admission: Free 📍Address: Shuguang Village, Taipusi Banner, Xilin Gol League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
