Nanming Mountain

南明山

A suburban famous mountain on the south bank of the Ou River, preserving cliff inscriptions from successive dynasties. The three large characters for Nanming Mountain are said to be by Mi Fu.

Nanming Mountain lies south of Lishui's urban area, on the south bank of the Ou River. The mountain is not high, but its cliffs are striking, and it preserves dozens of cliff inscriptions dating back to the Song dynasty. The three large characters for Nanming Mountain are traditionally attributed to Mi Fu, a Northern Song calligrapher. The Nanming Mountain Cliff Inscriptions are a national key cultural relic protection unit. Other features include Renshou Temple, Gaoyang Cave and Yunge Cliff, and climbing the stone-step trail offers views over Lishui's urban area and the Ou River. Admission is free. A taxi from the city center takes about 15 minutes, and a visit takes about 1.5 hours.
