Yinping Mountain
银屏山
A famous mountain on the south shore of Chaohu Lake, known for a wild white peony growing in a cliff crevice that is said to be a thousand years old.
Yinping Mountain is in Yinping Town, Chaohu City. Its hills are riddled with caves, forest and springs. Its most famous feature is a wild white peony growing in a crack on a sheer cliff, said to be over a thousand years old. It blooms around Grain Rain, and locals treat the number of blossoms as a sign of the year's harvest, which draws large crowds during the flowering season. The mountain also has Immortal Cave, cliff carvings and the remains of an old temple. Hiking to the top takes about 2 to 3 hours. Getting there: about 1.5 hours by car from Hefei. It can be combined with Ziwei Cave or the Ring Chaohu Avenue on the south shore.
