Mulan Mountain
木兰山
A religious mountain in northern Huangpi, said to be the hometown of Hua Mulan. Temples and shrines crown the summit, and granite rock formations offer views from the top.
Mulan Mountain lies in the north of Huangpi District, about 60 km from downtown Wuhan. Its main peak is about 582 meters above sea level. Legend says it is the hometown and place of practice of Hua Mulan, the heroic woman warrior. Buddhist and Taoist temples coexist on the mountain, including Jinding, Mulan Hall and Yuhuang Pavilion, and it is said to have seventy-two halls. Hiking trails wind along the granite ridges, offering views over the Jianghan Plain. Together with Mulan Tianchi and Mulan Grassland, it forms the Mulan cultural ecotourism area. Admission depends on the site at the time of visit. The round trip to the top takes about 3–4 hours, and cable cars are available. It's about 1 hour by car, or take a sightseeing bus from Hankou.
