Jiulingjian sits on the border of Jing'an, Xiushui and Fengxin counties and is the main peak of the Jiuling Mountains, at about 1,794 m above sea level. The usual route starts from the Zhongyuan Township side and follows the ridge through bamboo groves, azalea forests and alpine meadows to the summit. The round trip takes about 6 to 8 hours. On a clear day you can see distant mountain ranges and seas of clouds. There are no commercial facilities on the mountain, so bring your own water and food. Going with a partner or hiring a local guide is recommended, and do not climb during thunderstorms. Coordinates come from an OSM peak marker.
