Dahei Mountain
大黑山
A famous mountain east of Jinzhou with views over both the Bohai and Yellow Seas, plus a Goguryeo fortress ruin and a Tang-era temple.
Dahei Mountain rises 663 metres and is one of the famous peaks of southern Liaoning. Its slopes hold the ruins of Beisha Fortress, a Goguryeo mountain city, along with Tangwang Hall, Xiangshui Guan and Chaoyang Temple. From the summit you can see both the Bohai Bay and the Yellow Sea. Apricot blossoms in spring and red foliage in autumn are peak hiking seasons. A common route climbs from the direction of Xiangshui Guan and takes about 2 to 3 hours round trip. Admission is about 30 yuan, though some entrances are free. Take Metro Line 3 to Jinzhou and then a taxi. The trails are steep, so bring plenty of water.
