Dashushan Mountain
大蜀山国家森林公园
A dormant volcano on Hefei's western outskirts, densely forested, where a half-hour climb to the summit offers views over Swan Lake and the city skyline.
Dashushan is located on the western outskirts of Shushan District. At roughly 284 meters above sea level, it is the highest point within Hefei's urban area. Formed by ancient volcanic eruptions, it is now a national forest park. The mountain is densely wooded and features hiking trails, a ring road, Shufeng Bay and the Dashushan Martyrs' Cemetery. From the summit observation deck you can look east over the high-rise skyline of the Swan Lake area in the Government Affairs District. Cherry blossoms in spring and red foliage in autumn are especially popular, and it is a favorite spot for early-morning exercise and night running. Admission is free. Getting there: get off at Dashushan station on Line 2, and Hefei Wildlife Park is nearby.
