Mount Yunfeng
Mount Yunfeng stands in Ruidian Township
and over 50 kilometers away in the northwest of the county
seat. Seen from a distance, the mountain looks like a bamboo
shoot towering into the sky. The mountain got its name because
there are often clouds covering its top. Mount Yunfeng is
a holy mountain for the Taoists and enjoys great popularity
in the western part of Yunnan and the north of Burma. Pilgrims
from home and abroad often go there to make a pilgrimage.
"The three flights of steps" is one of the most
beautiful landscapes in Tengchong. More than one thousand
steps lead to the mountain top. The steepest place consists
of 43 steps, which is almost vertical and is less than one
meter wide. Climbing up to the top, tourists have to get
hold of chains and to walk very close to the precipice.
