Zhuque Mountain National Forest Park
朱雀山国家森林公园
A forest park southeast of the city, with views of the Songhua River from the summit. At its foot is a Ming-dynasty cliff inscription called Ashihada.
Zhuque Mountain lies about 20 km southeast of Jilin City's urban area. It has dense forest cover, hiking trails, viewing platforms and a glass walkway. Autumn foliage is vivid, and the ski area opens in winter. At the foot of the mountain, on the bank of the Songhua River, the Ashihada cliff inscriptions date from the Yongle and Xuande reigns of the Ming dynasty. They record the Ming's shipbuilding and inspection tours of the northeast, and the site is a nationally key-protected cultural heritage site. Admission and ski prices should be confirmed with official sources. Driving or taking a taxi is recommended, and a half day is enough for a visit.
