Laotudingzi Mountain

老秃顶子

Known as the 'Roof of Liaoning,' this 1,367-meter peak sits in a national nature reserve with primeval forest and mountaintop cloud seas.

Laotudingzi, also known as Fodingshan, rises to 1,367 meters and is the highest peak in Liaoning Province. It lies on the border between Huanren and Xinbin, within a national nature reserve. The reserve protects a relatively intact primeval forest of the Changbai flora, including ginseng and Northeast China yew, both rare plants. Winding mountain roads and hiking trails lead to the summit, where you can take in views across the surrounding peaks. Autumn brings layered, colorful forests, while summer is noticeably cooler than the county seat. The site is about 40 kilometers from Huanren. Driving is recommended. The round trip to the summit takes at least half a day. Mountain weather changes quickly, so bring a warm jacket.
