Dadingzi Mountain Forest Park
大顶子山森林公园
The 'sacred mountain' of the Hezhe people northwest of the county seat. From the summit you can see the Ussuri River and the forests on the Russian side, and azaleas blanket the slopes in spring.
Dadingzi Mountain lies about 19 km northwest of Raohe County seat, at roughly 801 meters above sea level. It is the highest point of a spur of the Wandashan Range on the bank of the Ussuri River, and the Hezhe people regard it as a sacred mountain. The forest park has hiking trails, viewing platforms and stargazing wooden cabins. From the summit you can overlook the winding border river of the Ussuri and the forests on the Russian bank. Dahurian azaleas bloom in May, and in late September the forests turn to autumn colours. The round trip to the summit takes about 3 hours. There are no supplies on the mountain, and you should guard against ticks. Coordinates are estimated.
