Cuiping Mountain
翠屏山
An urban mountain park west of Yibin's old town, with ancient trees and temples. From the summit, you can see the full panorama of the three rivers and the city.
Cuiping Mountain lies on the western side of Yibin's old town. It takes its name from its screen-like shape and evergreen forests, and it is Yibin's main urban mountain park. It also gave its name to Cuiping District, where Yibin's urban core is located. The mountain is shaded by ancient trees and has cultural sites such as Qianfo Temple and the Zhao Yiman Memorial Hall (Zhao Yiman, an anti-Japanese hero, was from Yibin). During the Eastern Han period, large numbers of cliff tombs and pottery figurines were unearthed in this area, some of which are now held at the Sichuan Museum. It takes about 40 minutes to walk to the top by the mountain road. The summit viewing platform overlooks the old city, the confluence of the Jinsha and Min rivers and the Yangtze flowing east, making it the best place to grasp the geography of the "City of Three Rivers." The park is free to enter. Getting there: The mountain is in the city, so you can reach the gate by taxi or on foot. It can be combined with Hejiang Gate and Liubeichi Park (the site associated with Huang Tingjian of the Northern Song). Note: The mountain road has many steps and gets slippery after rain. Bring mosquito repellent in summer.
