Guijianchou peak is the highest summit of Fragrant Hills, about 557 meters high. It is also named Xianglu (incense burner) Peak, but because the slopes are steep to climb, it is famous as “Guijianchou,” which means that it is even hard for ghosts to climb to the top. Environment: Almost everyone in Beijing has been there. Every weekend, at the foot of the mountain, there are hundreds of private cars. It is crowed with people coming to exercise nearly every day. Peaks rise up one after another here and the streams are clear and babbling. Of all 28 Beijing landscapes, the “snow on the west hill” is one of the eight top scenic spots in Beijing.
