Pine Forest Mountain
Pine Forest Mountain
Rising abruptly from the ground and shaped like a straw hat, Pine Forest Mountain is home to one of the “Eight Scenic Spots of Danzhou”—the Sunset Glow over Pine Forest. With an elevation of 192 meters, the mountain lies just five kilometers from the coastline. Surrounded by coastal plains, it stands as if soaring straight out of the sea, presenting a particularly majestic and towering presence.
According to national geological records, this area once experienced volcanic eruptions in ancient times, resulting in vast layers of solidified lava rock spread across more than ten kilometers around Pine Forest Mountain.
In ancient times, Pine Forest Mountain was a popular destination for sightseeing and climbing. Many visitors were drawn by its lush natural scenery, surrounded by peculiar white-jade-colored rocks. Both the eminent Song Dynasty monk Hejing (from Lingao) and the famed Ming Dynasty “immortal” Bai Yuchan (from Qiongshan County) once practiced asceticism on this mountain.
