Mojishan Park
磨基山
An urban mountain park on the south bank of the Yangtze, with a hilltop lookout over Yichang's city, the Gezhouba river views and the night skyline.
Mojishan lies on the south bank of the Yangtze, facing the old town of Yichang across the river. It is named after its shape, which resembles a millstone. It has been developed into a free urban mountain park. Climbing the steps or the mountain loop trail to the top takes about 30–40 minutes. From the summit lookout you can see the Yangtze's great bend, the city skyline and Gezhouba. From dusk into the night, it is the best spot for photographing the city at night. From the city centre, a taxi across Zhichang Yangtze River Bridge takes about 15 minutes, and there is a car park at the foot of the mountain. Mosquitoes are numerous in summer, so bring lights when walking down at night.
