Fujun Mountain
府君山
A hiking park just north of Jizhou town, with steps leading straight to the summit and views over the old town and toward Yuqiao Reservoir.
Fujun Mountain lies due north of Jizhou's urban area and is a free hiking park on the edge of town. Legend says a Fujun Temple once stood on the mountain, which is how it got its name. From the north gate, it takes about 40–60 minutes to climb the steps and paths to the summit, where there are viewing platforms and pavilions overlooking Dule Temple, the White Pagoda and the old town, as well as the plains to the south. On clear days you can see Panshan in the distance. The mountain also has information panels on its Proterozoic geological section. It is a good option for watching the sunset after visiting Dule Temple and the Drum Tower. The steps are steep and slippery after rain, and there are few supplies on the mountain, so bring your own water.
