Qianling Mountain Park perfectly embodies the marvel of “mountains within the city, scenery within the mountains.” Nestled in the northwest corner of Guiyang City, it holds the reputation as “Qiannan's Premier Mountain.” Spanning 200 hectares with an impressive 88% forest coverage, it is a National AAAA-level Tourist Attraction and an Ecological Civilization Education Base. Here, the city's clamor is filtered through layers of verdure, leaving only the serene harmony of mountains and waters. 

Half of the park's spiritual charm lies in its profound cultural heritage. Ascending the 383-step “Nine-Turn Path” stone staircase, you'll encounter Ming and Qing dynasty cliff carvings before reaching the renowned Buddhist temple, Hongfu Temple. The Zen-like echo of “Promoting the Great Vow of Buddhism, Bringing Blessings to All Beings” resonates through the mountains and forests. The other half of its charm comes from the free-roaming creatures of the wild. Over 1,200 wild macaques inhabit the park, playfully frolicking along paths or engaging in playful yet safe interactions with visitors, creating a unique human-ecological tableau. Additionally, you can visit the adorable giant pandas “Xingbao” and ‘Haibin’ at the zoo.

We recommend setting aside half a day for exploration. Admission is free. Hike up the mountain along the “Nine-Turn Path,” visit Hongfu Temple, then stroll to Qianling Lake nestled among the hills to admire the scenic beauty. When encountering macaques, please maintain a respectful distance and refrain from feeding them to ensure safety for all. This natural oasis, secluded yet within the city, awaits to wash away your travel fatigue and infuse you with nature's vitality.
