Dongping Mountain
东坪山
A network of mountain hiking trails on Xiamen Island. Dongping Reservoir and forest paths link up with mountain-and-sea trails, and it's a weekend hiking ground for locals.
Dongping Mountain lies in the east-central part of Siming District, a large mountain and forest area on Xiamen Island. It includes Dongping Reservoir, Guanyin Temple and Yunding Mountain (about 339 meters above sea level, the highest peak on Xiamen Island). The hiking trail network is well developed and can be entered from the Botanical Garden, Dongping Community or the Mountain-Sea Health Trail. The woods stay cool, making it good for a half-day hike. Free admission, though it gets busy on public holidays. Dongping Community has farmhouse restaurants.
