The north face of Guandao Mountain's main peak features steep cliffs. Looking up from the valley, it appears as a pillar reaching the sky, named for its resemblance to a Guan Dao (a type of Chinese broadsword). The Guandao Mountain area boasts extremely rich and diverse ecosystems. The summit offers panoramic views and can be connected to attractions such as Shengxing Station, Yutengping Broken Bridge, Liyutan Reservoir, and Shuangtan Leisure Agriculture Area via multiple trails. On holidays, it's common to see people visiting Guandao Mountain together to enjoy the forest rich in phytoncides.
