Siming Mountain National Forest Park
四明山国家森林公园
A highland forest park in Siming Mountain Town, Yuyao, known for its vast red maple groves, bamboo forests, and sea of clouds. It is a top choice for autumn colors and summer escapes near Ningbo.
Siming Mountain National Forest Park is at Ganzhu Ridge in Siming Mountain Town, Yuyao. It sits at an elevation of about 600 to 900 meters and is about 60 km from downtown Ningbo. The park has large stands of Chinese cedar, bamboo forests, and a red maple grove said to cover ten thousand mu. In late autumn, the hillsides turn red, and the roads through Siming Mountain Town are popular for red-maple drives. Summers are cool, and visitors can stay in mountain guesthouses to watch the clouds. Entry costs about 50 yuan, subject to on-site confirmation. The park opens at 8:00 and stops admitting visitors at 17:00. The mountain roads wind steeply, so it is best to drive only if you are an experienced driver. Bus 637 from Yuyao goes to the Bugeyan fork. The park can be combined with the nearby Siming Mountain Geopark and the Danshan Chishui scenic area.
