Datudingzi Mountain
大秃顶子山
The highest peak of the Zhangguangcai Range at about 1,690 m. Its moisture-trapping position helps produce Xuexiang’s heavy snowfall, and it is a well-known mountaineering goal in Northeast China.
Dadudingzi Mountain sits on the main ridge of the Zhangguangcai Range north of Xuexiang and is one of the highest peaks in Heilongjiang Province. Its summit has sparse trees, which gives it the name “Bald Top.” The mountain intercepts moist air from the Sea of Japan, creating a snow season of around seven months in the Xuexiang area. In summer and autumn, the mountain has alpine meadows, Erman’s birch forests, and stone seas. In winter, it is a winter climbing target for professional outdoor teams. Climbs require joining a licensed outdoor club and following forest and nature reserve entry rules. Getting there: enter the mountain from the Xuexiang or Erlanghe side. Warnings: winter is extremely cold and it is easy to get lost, so entering without a guide is strictly prohibited.
