Yinping (Hidden Screen) Peak
Yinping Peak rises abruptly up from the Fifth Bend, looking
like a screen hidden deep in the Pinglin Woods, hence its name.
To ascend the summit, one has to go through the Liuyun (Lingering
Cloud) Study at Tea Cave, climb an iron ladder at a place marked
with the characters bu xu (humble steps) and turn at a place
called "chicken breast" before finally arriving at Xianfanjie
(Immortal-Mortal Land).Then a winding stone stairway will take
one to the forested summit. After a short break at the Yinping
Teahouse, one can walk a few dozen metres to see Fox Cave, where

Bend is possible.
Turning back from Fox Cave, there
are two possible routes: one is to return to Tea Cave along
the same route, the other is to go northward up the summit of
Yinping Peak, along the challenging but safe stone steps which
wind round Yuhua Peak, and eventually ascend Tianyou Peak.
Jiesun (Jointed Bamboo Shoot) Peak Also called Jiesun
Rock and Xianjie Peak, this peak stands west of Yinping Peak.
Rising straight up for about 90 metres, it does indeed look
like a huge bamboo shoot with three horizontal broken sections.
