The Cuiping Mountain Scenic Area was established on August 1, 1958. It consists of two mountains, Cuiping Mountain and Zhenwu Mountain. The main peak of Cuiping Mountain is 503 meters above sea level and is named after its "evergreen mountain scenery all year round, looking like a screen."

By Lujiang Zhou Gongjin |

There is the famous Nezha Ancestral Temple, which is quite interesting. The mountain is quite high and it takes about 20-30 minutes to climb up.

By Qianyuhang |

Friends who are interested in religion can go to worship

By A00 🐯 |

Cuiping Mountain, 507 meters above sea level, boasts the Tang Dynasty stone carvings of Thousand Buddhas. The Cuiping Evening Bell is one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Yibin." On a clear day, one can overlook the entire city of Yibin from the summit. The mountain also housed the historic Cuiping Academy, now the "Zhao Yiman Memorial Hall," a female anti-Japanese heroine.

There is also Nezha Cave on the mountain, with a statue of Nezha inside. In recent years, believers of the Nezha god in Taiwan have come here to worship every year, making it a new tourist attraction in Cuiping Mountain.

Cuiping Mountain Park is an urban forest park in Yibin City. It comprises two mountains, Cuiping and Zhenwu. Its main peak rises over 500 meters above sea level and is conveniently located within the city, accessible by numerous public buses. The mountain boasts majestic scenery, lush greenery, and refreshing air. A white pagoda adorns the summit, offering panoramic views. The wide, flat summit is lined with tables, often occupied by people playing cards and enjoying tea. Cuiping Mountain is a popular leisure destination for Yibin residents, and many Yibin television series have been filmed there. Cuiping Mountain Park offers free admission. The recommended route is from the Zhenwu Mountain pedestrian entrance, along the entrance plaza, the Zhao Yiman Memorial Hall, the Thousand Buddha Terrace, and the Sanjiang Yilan Garden, all the way to the summit. The wide, winding stone steps lead to the summit, flanked by lush greenery. The climb is effortless and takes half an afternoon. A cable car service is available at the base of the mountain, offering affordable fares. However, it's recommended to avoid taking the cable car directly to the summit, as the only visible sight is the white pagoda. The most interesting places to see are along the way of climbing, where there are cultural relics such as Nezha Palace, Thousand Buddha Rock with Tang Dynasty stone carvings, and red attractions such as Zhao Yiman Memorial Hall. The mountainside is also an excellent location to overlook the cityscape of Yibin.

It's OK. Everyone here, young and old, likes it very much.

It's 20 minutes from my home, and I go for a run in the morning to breathe in the fresh air. It's a great place for leisure, entertainment, and relaxation.

By ECHO |

I only spent one day in Yibin and the scenery was very nice!

By She Dreamed 1991. |

The scenery is beautiful and the air is fresh. The local people are very welcoming and attentive to us. They told us which local food is delicious and where to stay. The greenery is very good and there are many things to do. We had a lot of fun.

By niceman |

Yibin is a nice city, nestled between mountains and rivers, very suitable for living

By Dreams never stop |

Cuiping Mountain is loved by countless Yibin people. Every morning and evening, many people go up the mountain for exercise, but it is a bit lacking in sightseeing.

By I came from the Han Dynasty |

Yibin is also a city crossed by a river. It has a little bit of the flavor of Chongqing. I recommend trying the Yibin Pig Intestine Rice Noodles.

By Rong Mo Ren |

The mountain is not high and the scenery is nice. There are teahouses, restaurants, zoos and amusement facilities on the mountain, which is suitable for entertainment and leisure for the whole family.

By Light sleep |

I don't know how many times I've been there. It's very good and suitable for weekends.

By Shanshan is late |

Nezha’s hometown, Jiudu, is a natural oxygen bar with green mountains and clear waters.

By Fate is the thread that connects you and me |

Cuiping Mountain is located near Cuiping International City on Jiangjun Avenue in Jiangning District. The entrance leads directly up a steep slope, lush with flowers and trees. With the arrival of spring, all sorts of plants and flowers are budding, with small buds everywhere. The ground is filled with small wildflowers, and many trees are surrounded by flowers and plants, truly vibrant and beautiful. The hike to the summit offers beautiful views and is a great place for exercise. Living nearby is very convenient. There aren't many iconic sights; all you see is green: rolling hills, vast forests, and winding roads. There are no signs or direction signs, and it's hard to tell where they lead. I'd guess it would take a whole day to explore all the roads. There's also a stone path leading directly up the mountain from the Dijing Tiancheng Villa complex. However, it's likely abandoned and covered in weeds after years of neglect. What a shame! Such a scenic path.

National Forest Park, a good place for leisurely walks and exercise

By Unstoppable |

It's more fun than the so-called Lizhuang Ancient Town! There is plenty of oxygen and a good view. Although the scenery is definitely not comparable to the Five Mountains, it is still good as a park.

By Xiao Ming |

My hometown is one of the few mountains in the country that is located in the center of a city. It is over 500 meters above sea level and is a great place for locals to run during the week and to have fun on weekends.

By Xiao Ming |

My hometown is in the same place as the Cuiping Mountain Scenic Area above.

By Xing Gaobu |

Ahh ...

By Longing for Jasmine |

A large green belt park in the urban area of Yibin, but it is really not worth going there. It is just a place where locals go for a walk. There is a park and a zoo on it.

By Soon snow will clear up |

In the park, under the shade of trees, many people play mahjong together. That atmosphere, that cool feeling, that feeling, don’t be too sour~

By Queen's Road |

It's not as beautiful as the legend says, but it's really cool, and the bamboo shoots are so delicious.

By Believe in yourself |

We are Yibin people’s natural oxygen bar, with fresh air and charming environment. Welcome to visit!

By My childhood |

The scenery inside is very nice. It is very hot in summer, so climbing the mountain is also nice. There is also a Buddhist holy place on the mountain.

By jordson24 |

It is worth recommending. There are indeed a lot of bamboos here.

By totoro |

The mountain is still a bit high. The scenery is great when you climb to the top. You can smell the aroma of Wuliangye.

By ju_li2009 |

It’s not bad. The bamboo is very tall and dense, forming the shape of a long corridor.

By Rainy Day |

If you have nothing to do, you can go there to play. It's not bad. There is also a zoo.

By Anna |

I really don't understand why so many people go to Japan to enjoy such scenery! I feel that the scenery in Japan is really exquisite and not as exciting as what I see in China!

By moumuo |

Just climbing the mountain, exercising, there are many Bodhisattvas inside

By moumuo |

There used to be an amusement park, but now it has become a place for pure mountain climbing and health preservation. There are also cable cars and a zoo inside. It is a good place for locals to exercise and play mahjong.

Cuiping Mountain Park, located northwest of Yibin City, is the city's green lung, attracting hikers day and night. It is a renowned urban forest park, combining scenic beauty with historical sites and forest scenery. It primarily comprises Cuiping Mountain and Zhenwu Mountain, reflecting the coexistence of Buddhism and Taoism in China. Cuiping Mountain boasts attractions such as the Thousand Buddha Temple, the Nezha Palace, and the Zhao Yiman Memorial Hall. The Nezha Palace, located on Cuiping Mountain, has been jointly researched and identified by both sides of the Taiwan Strait as the only ancestral temple of Nezha (the Third Prince) in China. Annually, compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Southeast Asian communities flock here to trace their roots and pay homage to their ancestors. In 1998, the Nezha Palace was invited to Taiwan, where the Third Prince's golden statue circumambulated the island for six months, highlighting its status as an ancestral temple. Zhenwu Mountain was once a center for the dissemination of Taoist culture in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces. In Sichuan Daoist circles, it was known as "Qingcheng in the North, Zhenwu in the South." Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it enjoyed a vibrant pilgrimage scene.

By Myth●Twilight |

This attraction is also good! I don’t know how to describe it! But the scenery is really great! It’s worth a visit!

By @小鱼Guo |

Cuipingshan Park, as the name suggests, is a fresh and clean park. Whether in the bamboo forest or in the park, it is very suitable for taking pictures. The scenery is good.

By @小鱼Guo |

I often saw beautiful photos of bamboo forests on the Internet before, so this time I came here for this. It is really beautiful. It is very quiet here. I am in nature and feel the embrace of nature. Most of the time I stay in concrete and steel. It is a rare opportunity to be in nature. I have to breathe the oxygen well. Hahaha, it is worth a visit

By Wandering Poet |

The tickets are not expensive, there are not many people going, and the scenery is average. There is no need for tourists from other places to make a special trip for this.

A free park in the city's mountains and forests, it offers tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle, with fresh air and a natural oxygen bar. Also worth a visit is the Zhao Yiman Memorial Hall.

By Maimang Han Yue |

Walking slowly up the winding mountain road, the air becomes fresher as you go higher, and the green bamboos on the side of the mountain road are as emerald as jade.
