Dunhua Liuding Mountain

　　The Liuding Mountain Scenic Area is situated 5 kilometers south of Dunhua City, in the well-known hilly region of the Changbai Mountain Range, embraced by mountains and waters, and encircled by a series of peaks. To the south lies the national-level cultural relic protection site — the Ancient Tomb Complex of the Bohai Kingdom, to the north flows the Mudan River, and to the east stands the Zhengjue Temple, the largest Buddhist nunnery temple in Northeast Asia.

　　Liuding Mountain runs from east to west, featuring six connected undulating peaks, with the highest peak reaching an elevation of 603 meters. From here, a ridge extends southeastward, flanked on both sides by burial grounds and featuring over 80 stone-chamber earthen mound tombs. The early royal tomb complex of the Bohai Kingdom during the Tang Dynasty is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

　　In 1948, Princess Zhenhui’s tomb was excavated, yielding pottery, jade artifacts, bronze ornaments, and a tomb stele. The Liuding Mountain Aodong City ruins are located within the Liuding Mountain Tourism Development Zone at the Zhengjue Temple. Situated in the southeastern part of Dunhua City, Aodong City is believed to have been the early capital of the Bohai Kingdom, hence its nickname “Old Capital.”

　　Dunhua City has a mid-temperate cool climate, characterized by distinct mountainous weather patterns and four clear seasons: dry and windy springs, rainy summers, crisp autumns, and cold winters, with an average annual temperature of 2.9°C.
