Jiufeng Forest Park

Jiufeng (nine peaks) Forest Park obtained its name after the nine peaks standing high and upright in the park, surrounding the Lion Peak and Golden Cypress Peak. The other seven peaks are Monarch Peak, Gauze Cap Peak, Apical Cap Peak, Ceremonial Canopy Peak, Pismire Peak, Alms Bowl Peak and Trunk Peak.

It is also a place of historic figures and cultural heritage. Folk stories will be told by the locals when passing through Jiufeng Cliffside Carvings, Jiufeng Temple and Three Eye Bridge.

The park, having a forest coverage rate of 73 percent, is graced with an abundance of wildlife, with more than 60 kinds of birds inhabiting the site. The West Mountain area has formed unique landscapes against the backdrop of the city outskirts, featuring flowers in spring, green lotus in summer, red leaves in autumn and evergreen trees in winter. It’s a wonderful destination for cycling, barbecues and other leisure activities.
