Spring (March to May) in Tianjin is always short. When we prepare to enjoy a beautiful and comfortable spring after enduring the long winter of Tianjin, we always come to realize that spring is almost gone and summer is coming.

Spring is a nice season to have a hiking if you plan to travel to this city in the season. There are a c couple of places recommended in the following in your Tianjin hiking trip:

►Mt. Panshan - Located 12 km northwest of Ji County, it is covered with lavish plantations and has a rich historical heritage. Recently, Mt. Panshan has become the great escape for the city dwellers of Tianjin and Tianjin.
►Huangyaguan Great Wall - With its walls and towers built on mountain ridge with an average altitude of 738 meters, the Huangyaguan is really overwhelming. To the east there is the cliff, and the west, crags. It winds its way across mountains like a dragon. Guarding a stronghold, it has been the north entrance of Jinxian.
