Jingshan·Shangouguo National Forest Park

Jingshan·Shangouguo National Forest Park is a national-level forest park.

Mountains and waters complement each other, serene and elegant.

The national forest park not only boasts Yatao Mountain (1,095m) and Hongtao Mountain (1,029m), the first and second highest peaks in Hangzhou, but also features the highest lake in Hangzhou—Siling Lake: at an elevation of 82m, covering an area of 2,567 mu, with an average depth of 25m, a maximum depth of 37m, and a water storage capacity of 2,854 cubic meters. Rugged peaks and exotic rocks, clear streams and cascading waterfalls; dense forests that are secluded and refreshing, offering great potential for tourism development.

The murmurs of Zen and the fragrance of tea linger.

The cultural essence within the forest park centers around "Zen tea culture," with numerous historical sites: such as Jingshan Temple, known as the foremost among the "Five Mountains and Ten Monasteries" and boasting a history of over 1,200 years, which is located here. Listen to the distant temple bells of Jingshan Temple, brew tea by the Shuangxi springs, and let the legacy of Lu Yu, the Sage of Tea, and his Classic of Tea add a touch of historical and cultural charm to the forest park.
