Beishan Park (AAAA-level scenic area)

Located in downtown Jilin, the Beishan Park is also called “nine-dragon sacred ground”. With a history of more than 300 years, it was originally named Jiulong (nine dragons) Mountain and was considered as where dragons were originated. Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty both visited the mountain in their tour to East China. The legend of “nine dragon culture” makes the treasured place more mysterious.

There are many ancient temples in the scenic area. It is famous for its folk customs and temple fairs. Temple fairs here were described in a Qing Dynasty literary writing to be the best in Northeast China. The Beishan Scenic Area, with Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and folk culture together and with cultural relics including temples, pavilions, buildings and platforms, is one of the famous temple garden scenic spots in northeast China.
