Longbeishan Forest Park
龙背山森林公园
A forest park on the south side of Yixing city. From the summit Wenfeng Pagoda, you can overlook Tuanjiu Lake and the city, making it a good place for morning exercise and light hiking.
Longbeishan Forest Park is on the south side of Yixing's urban area. Its mountain ridge looks like a dragon's back lying across the land. Dense forest covers the slopes, and there are loop trails and stone steps for hiking. At the summit stands Wenfeng Pagoda, one of Yixing's landmarks. From the top, you can see Tuanjiu Lake, Dongjiu Lake, and the city, and on clear days the southern mountains come into view. The park also has purple clay culture displays and a children's play area.
The park is free to enter. A round trip to the summit takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, making it ideal for a light hike in the early morning or evening. It is in the city, so buses or taxis can get you there easily, which makes it a convenient stop for visitors staying in central Yixing.
