Dushan Hill Forest Park
独山
A solitary peak north of the city and the source of Dushan jade, one of China’s four famous jades, with views from the summit over Nanyang and the Bai River.
Dushan Hill lies about 8 km north of Nanyang city. It is an isolated hill rising from the flat plain to about 367 m. It is famous as the source of Dushan jade (Nanyang jade), which, together with Hetian jade, Xiuyan jade and turquoise, is counted among China’s four famous jades. Today it is Dushan Hill Forest Park, with hiking trails, jade culture displays and historic sites. From the summit you can look down over the city and the Bai River. The park is generally free or low-cost (check on site), and a round trip to the top takes about 2 hours.
