Zushan Mountain
祖山
A granite mountain range home to the highest peak on the Bohai coast, with strange rock formations, primeval forest and autumn foliage. It is Qinhuangdao’s largest mountain scenic area.
Zushan lies in the south of Qinglong Manchu Autonomous County, Qinhuangdao. Its main peak, Tiannü Peak, rises about 1,428 m and is known as the “First Peak on the Bohai Coast.” The mountain is full of granite pinnacles, dense vegetation, canyon streams and suspended plank walkways, and the hillsides blaze with autumn foliage. Tickets are required. The scenic area has a cable car, and a visit takes most of a day. It is about 1.5 hours from downtown Qinhuangdao, so self-driving or a day tour is recommended. It gets cold on the mountain, so bring a jacket.
