Jiuxian Mountain
五莲九仙山
A granite mountain in Wulian County beside Mount Wulian, known for its sharp peaks, rock formations and spring azaleas.
Jiuxian Mountain lies about 10 km east of Wulian County town. Often called the “sister mountain” of Mount Wulian, it is built of granite with steep, jagged peaks. Highlights include a wild azalea forest billed as “Qilu’s No. 1 Azalea Garden,” Egret Bay and Boot Rock. Su Shi, the poet, once toured the mountain while serving as magistrate of Mizhou. The hiking route takes about 3 to 4 hours, or you can take a sightseeing shuttle partway up the mountain. Admission is about 60 yuan. The drive from Rizhao city center takes about 1 hour. You can visit together with Mount Wulian on the same day, but the trip is physically demanding.
