Sumushan Forest Park
苏木山
A high-mountain forest area in Xinghe County. Its main peak is the highest point in Ulanqab, with vast larch forests and alpine meadows, making it a popular summer retreat.
Sumushan lies in the south of Xinghe County, on the border with Hebei and Shanxi. Its main peak rises to about 2,300 m and is the highest point in Ulanqab.
It is one of the largest plantation forest areas in North China, with endless larch and Mongolian pine forests. There are meadows and viewing platforms near the summit. Summers are cool, and in autumn the forest turns golden. Winding mountain roads and forest trails run through the park, and you can stay in wooden cabins in the forest.
The park is about 110 km from Jining by road, so driving yourself is recommended. Admission and accommodation prices are subject to the park's posted notices. Temperature differences between day and night are large in the mountains.
