Jinzhou Bijia Mountain

Jinzhou Bijia Mountain

Jinzhou Bijia Mountain is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

Located in Tianqiao Town, 35 kilometers south of Jinzhou City, in the Liaodong Bay, it is a small island connected to the mainland near the coast. The island stretches 1.5 kilometers from north to south, 0.8 kilometers from east to west, covering a total area of about 1 square kilometer, with an elevation of 78 meters and spanning the sea at a distance of 1.8 kilometers. There is a natural pebble channel formed by tidal action that connects the island to the mainland, commonly known as the "Heavenly Bridge." This Heavenly Bridge appears and disappears with the rise and fall of the tides, making it a spectacular natural wonder. When the tide recedes, the seawater gradually withdraws to both sides, and the channel emerges like a winding dragon in the sea; when the tide has completely ebbed, the "Heavenly Bridge" is fully revealed, leading directly to the Great Bijia Mountain. Visitors can walk along this sandy and pebbly path to climb up the mountain. When the tide rises, the seawater surges in from both sides toward the "Heavenly Bridge," which gradually narrows amid the waves until it completely disappears. On the Great Bijia Mountain, there are ancient structures such as the Lvzu Pavilion, Five Mothers Palace, and Sanqing Pavilion.

Bijia Mountain

Bijia Mountain is located in Tianqiao Subdistrict, 35 kilometers south of the city, in the Liaodong Bay, and is a small island connected to the mainland. The island stretches 1.5 kilometers from north to south and 0.8 kilometers from east to west, covering a total area of about 1 square kilometer, with an elevation of 78 meters. The island features three peaks that resemble a penholder, and because there is also a smaller Bijia Mountain in the eastern sea that mirrors its shape, it is referred to as the Great Bijia Mountain. From the northern shore to the Great Bijia Mountain, the span across the sea is 1.8 kilometers, and there is a natural pebble channel formed by tidal action that connects the island to the mainland, commonly known as the "Heavenly Bridge."

This Heavenly Bridge appears and disappears with the rise and fall of the tides, making it a spectacular natural wonder. When the tide recedes, the seawater gradually withdraws to both sides, and the channel emerges like a winding dragon in the sea; when the tide has completely ebbed, the "Heavenly Bridge" is fully revealed, leading directly to the Great Bijia Mountain. Visitors can walk along this sandy and pebbly path to climb up the mountain. When the tide rises, the seawater surges in from both sides toward the "Heavenly Bridge," which gradually narrows amid the waves until it completely disappears.

On the Great Bijia Mountain, there are ancient structures such as the Lvzu Pavilion, Five Mothers Palace, and Sanqing Pavilion. The most prominent structure is the Sanqing Pavilion, which stands 26 meters tall and consists of a six-story stone building made entirely of uniform stone walls, corridors, doors, windows, niches, and stairs. Even the upturned eaves, corners, and door god murals are all carved from stone. The arrangement, layout, and decoration of the halls and buildings are ingeniously designed, exquisitely combined, featuring symmetry with variation and dispersion with connection, making it a masterpiece of pavilion architecture. Especially notable are the stone carvings on the doors, which are finely crafted, vivid in texture, and open and close smoothly. The entire structure embodies traditional artistic style while also incorporating features of Western ancient architecture. Inside the pavilion, there are 43 large and small Hanbaiyu stone Buddha statues, dedicated to Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, making it a temple that unites the three teachings.
