Gufo Mountain
古佛山
The highest peak in Rongchang, at about 711 metres, with a temple and hiking trails. Tung trees bloom in April, and the views reach over the hills on the Sichuan–Chongqing border.
Gufo Mountain lies in Qingsheng Town in southern Rongchang District. At about 711 metres, it is the highest peak in Rongchang. On the summit is Gufo Temple, and a hiking trail leads to Rulai Peak. The top offers wide views over the surrounding hills and farmland. In April, the hillsides are covered with blooming tung trees, making it a favourite spring outing for locals. In recent years, activities such as 'Hiking to Find Geese' have also been introduced. Entry is free. It is about 20 km from Rongchang's urban area, so driving is recommended, but roads can be slippery after rain.
