Dongbai Mountain
东白山
The highest peak in Dongyang, with alpine meadows, tea gardens and sea-of-clouds sunrises at the summit. It is a popular spot in central Zhejiang for self-drive trips, stargazing and seeing rime ice.
Dongbai Mountain lies on the border between northern Dongyang and Zhuji. Its main peak is about 1,194 meters above sea level, and it is one of the principal peaks of the Kuaiji Mountains. The summit has open alpine meadows, wind turbines and tea gardens (Dongbai Chunya is a historic famous tea). On clear days you can see sunrise and sea-of-clouds views, and in winter you often see rime ice and snow scenes. In summer the summit is cool, making it a popular local destination for self-drive trips, camping and stargazing. The mountain roads have many bends. It takes about 1 hour by car from downtown Dongyang and about 1.5 hours from Hengdian. The summit is windy and cold, and in winter you should watch for icy roads and traffic controls after snowfall. It is currently mostly free to enter, though some parking and facilities charge fees.
