Kunyu Mountain
昆嵛山
A national nature reserve home to the highest peak of the Jiaodong Peninsula. It is the birthplace of the Quanzhen school of Taoism and is covered in dense forest, with Wuran Temple and Yanxia Cave.
Kunyu Mountain straddles Wendeng in Weihai and Muping in Yantai. Its main peak, Taipotou, rises to about 923 metres, making it the highest point on the Jiaodong Peninsula. Forest cover is very high, and the mountain is both a national nature reserve and a national forest park. It is the birthplace of the Quanzhen school of Taoism, where Wang Chongyang once taught disciples in Yanxia Cave. On the Weihai side are the ancient Wuran Temple, Jiulong Pool, and other sights, with waterfalls in the valleys and serene pine forests. Admission and shuttle bus fares are confirmed by the official sources. It is about 40 minutes' drive from Wendeng. The hike is long, so be mindful of your energy and the weather.
