Zhuque Mountain
Zhuque Mountain stands at an elevation of 817 meters, featuring steep terrain, rugged rocks, lush trees, and an ancient landscape. On the eastern peak lies a giant pig-shaped rock over 10 meters long, known as "Demon Pig Rock," followed by five smaller stone piglets. The pig's head faces the mountain summit while its tail points downward, as if it is walking—hence Zhuque Mountain is also nicknamed "Pig Mountain."
Attractions
In summer, visitors to Zhuque Mountain can enjoy the thrill of hiking. The main peak, Daojian Peak, also called Pig’s Mouth Crag, rises abruptly amidst surrounding peaks and stands close to the river. From the summit, you can gaze into the distance where the Fengman Dam is faintly visible. Surrounded by embracing mountains and connected waters, the scenery captivates visitors with its natural beauty. In winter, Zhuque Mountain offers great fun for skiing, riding horse-pulled sleds, and playing on sleighs.
Zhuque Mountain Forest Park is under the administration of the Songhua Lake Experimental Forest Farm in Jilin City and is one of the city’s four famous mountains. It is just 8 kilometers south of downtown, accessible from Jilin Bridge.
Transportation
You can take a special shuttle bus heading to the Fengman Hydropower Station to reach the scenic area.
