Youzi Mountain
游子山
A famous mountain in Gaochun, said to be named Youzi (Wandering Scholar) after Confucius passed through; forests, tea gardens, and Zhenru Chan Temple complement one another.
Youzi Mountain lies in central Gaochun and is the core of the Youzi Mountain National Forest Park. Though not very high, it is one of the highest points in Gaochun, and the summit offers views over Gucheng Lake and the surrounding fields.
Legend has it that Confucius, while travelling between states, climbed this mountain and left behind the name Youzi. The mountain is home to Zhenru Chan Temple and a Confucian culture landscape. At its foot lies the Chunqing Tea Garden. In recent years, it has launched forest wellness, tea experiences, and immersive performances.
The main entrance is on the south side. Nanjing park annual passes are valid here. Check the official notices for admission fees. A round-trip hike takes about 2 hours, and it can be combined with Dongba Old Street on the same day.
