Taitong Mountain Forest Park
太统山
A national forest park on the south side of Mount Kongtong, with dense secondary forest and few visitors. It is good for hiking to escape the summer heat and for seeing the autumn colors.
Taitong Mountain National Forest Park lies about 12 km southwest of Pingliang city, across the Jing River from Mount Kongtong. Its forests are mainly Chinese pine and Liaodong oak, and trails lead to the summit, where you can look out at Mount Kongtong and Pingliang city. The park is quiet and has little commercial development, making it suitable for a half-day hike or a self-drive escape from the heat. Facilities on the mountain are limited, so bring your own drinking water. Trails are slippery after rain.
