Hongshan National Forest Park
红山国家森林公园
A mountain of reddish-brown granite that gave Chifeng its name. It is the namesake site of the Hongshan culture, and from the summit you can look down over Chifeng city and the Yingjin River.
Hongshan lies northeast of Chifeng's urban area and is made of reddish-brown granite. In Mongolian it is called 'Ulan Hada' (Red Rock), which is where the name Chifeng comes from. The mountain has been developed into a national forest park with hiking trails and viewing platforms. From the summit you can see the Yingjin River and the city. The red rock is most striking when sunlight hits it at sunrise. The area at the foot of the mountain is the namesake site of the Hongshan culture. The full hike takes about 1 to 2 hours. In summer the bare rock gets hot, so bring sunscreen and water. After rain, the stone surfaces are slippery.
