Shidao Mountain

Shidao Mountain

The Shidao Mountain Scenic Area is located at the 93-kilometer mark of the Harbin–Wuchang Highway, 20 kilometers from downtown Wuchang. Adjacent to the Labin Railway, it enjoys very convenient transportation. The area primarily features a natural stone knife on Mudan Peak and a jade-like... forming a naturally beautiful scenic zone. It covers an area of 100 square kilometers, including 50 square kilometers of water area, making it an ideal destination for sightseeing, leisure vacations, and wild bathing and fishing.

The Shidao Mountain Scenic Area lies to the east of the towering Suodahu Mountain and to the west of the beautiful Mudan Peak, nestled against the river valley, offering boundless natural beauty. The primitive forests here are dense and unspoiled. The area is rich in wildlife, with birds singing and animals roaming freely. According to "The Book of Birds," this is the habitat of the rare Red-crowned Crane. In ancient times, it was also the nesting ground for the legendary Phoenix. A poem reads: “This place is uniquely blessed by nature!”

The Shidao Mountain Scenic Area boasts lush green mountains and picturesque scenery. The first thing that catches your eye is the scenic area’s mountain gate—an imposing classical-style structure with a couplet that reads: “The knife-cleaved stone peak holds up the sun and moon” (upper line), and “The roaring waters and... stir the phoenix’s cry” (lower line), highlighting the unique features of the scenic area. Of course, what captivates visitors most are the towering cliffs and serene valleys. The area is also known as “the Eighth Wonder.” Legend has it that it was the nesting site of the divine bird Peng. The great poet Li Bai once visited and, upon seeing this place, exclaimed: “This wonder is truly one of a kind!”

The Shidao Mountain Scenic Area is divided into four functional zones: sightseeing, leisure vacation, specialty dining, and Buddhist tourism. There are six main attractions: Sky-Holding Precious Knife, Golden Saddle for Resting Horses, General’s Platform, Lotus Fragrance Pavilion Shadows, Flying Missile, and Water Park. In the lush valleys, there are abundant plants and flowers. The leisure areas are also quite distinctive, with some zones offering completely untouched natural forests. The clear streams and graceful wild grasses not only provide a uniquely charming leisure experience but also serve as excellent spots for photography, painting, and poetry inspiration.
