Jiangjun Mountain
将军山
A small hill overlooking the sea beside Tannan Bay, named after more than a hundred generals who climbed it in 1996 to watch a military exercise. The summit overlooks Tannan Bay and the Haitan Strait.
Jiangjun Mountain, formerly known as Dashan or Hutou Mountain, sits on the shore of Tannan Bay in southern Pingtan Island. In 1996, a large joint exercise of the three armed services took place in this area. More than a hundred generals watched from the mountain, so it was renamed Jiangjun Mountain (General Mountain). The summit has a memorial monument, a stone inscription gallery and national defense education exhibits. The mountain is not high: the trail to the top takes about 30 to 40 minutes, and the summit viewing platform overlooks the long Tannan Bay beach, Haitan Ancient City and the Haitan Strait. Admission is about 20 yuan, and in summer it is open roughly 08:00–18:30. It works well to combine with Tannan Bay and Haitan Ancient City in one day, and climbing at dusk for sunset is best. Note: it is very windy at the top, and stone steps are slippery after rain.
