Dahong Mountain
大洪山
A Buddhist mountain on the northern edge of the Jianghan Plain, with the Golden Summit on Baozhu Peak, Hongshan Temple and forest caves, a national scenic area.
Dahong Mountain straddles Suizhou and Zhongxiang. Its main peak, Baozhu Peak, rises to about 1,055 metres above sea level. The mountain is a national scenic area and a Buddhist mountain, and Hongshan Temple (also known as Ciren Temple) was already established here in the Tang dynasty. Sights on the mountain include the Golden Summit, Bailong Pool and Liangwang Cave. The woodland is dense, with azaleas in spring and red autumn leaves. Climbing from the Zhongxiang side via Kedian Town is relatively convenient, and it makes a classic day trip together with Huangxian Cave. The summit is cold and the mountain roads are winding, so drive with care. Admission and sightseeing shuttle fees follow the scenic area's rules.
