Xing'an Tower

兴安塔

The landmark observation tower of Yichun's urban area. From the top you can look out over the city, surrounded by forest, which is why Yichun is known as the Forest Capital.

Xing'an Tower stands on a hill in the central urban district of Yichun (Yimei District). It is the city's signature building and a popular viewpoint. From the top, you can take in 360-degree views of the city, the Yichun River and the Lesser Khingan forest sea that surrounds the city, which captures the local character of a city set within the forest. The fall is especially beautiful, when the surrounding mountains change color. The park at the foot of the tower is shaded by trees and is good for an evening stroll. Lindu Wood Carving Park and other small sights in the city can be combined with a visit to the tower in one half-day. Check the entry fee and opening hours on site. Restaurants in the city serve wild mountain vegetables, blueberry products and stewed dishes typical of the forest region.

Opening hours

Approx. 8:30 am–5:00 pm (check on site)
