Piyanshan Mountain

　　Piyanshan Mountain is situated in the southwest of Longjing City, approximately 3 kilometers from the city center, and is easily accessible. Lush with forests and embraced by rivers, it features enchanting scenery and serves as a natural mountain park for Longjing. The mountain contains cultural relics from the Neolithic Age within its territory, as well as sites related to anti-Japanese struggle activities.

　　Piyanshan Mountain is part of the foothills of the Ying’eling Range, a branch of the Changbai Mountains. Its highest peak stands at an elevation of 494.50 meters, and the total area of the mountain is about 4.5 square kilometers. The eastern and northern slopes are gentle, while the western and southern slopes are steep. The eastern part of the mountain is known as Xitianyuan, which offers a panoramic view of Longjing City. On the western side lies Pingjiangyuan, facing Biyan Mountain across the Hailan River. The western half, southern part, and eastern half of the mountain are all encircled by the Hailan River. Piyanshan Mountain has a temperate continental semi-humid monsoon climate, with an average annual temperature of 5.2 degrees Celsius.

　　The Yisongting Scenic Area is the main highlight of the Piyanshan Mountain tourist zone. It gets its name from a tall, ancient pine tree standing on the cliff, whose crown resembles a pavilion—hence the name “Yisongting” (One Pine Pavilion). Over 50 years ago, this site was a gathering place where numerous patriots and young activists promoted resistance against Japan and engaged in patriotic activities. On April 1, 2002, “Yisongting” was designated as a Longjing Municipal Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit by the Longjing City Government.
