Mao’ershan National Forest Park
帽儿山国家森林公园 · Mào’ér Shān Guójiā Sēnlín Gōngyuán
The “hat mountain” on Yanji’s southern edge: forest stairways (over 1,000 steps) and boardwalks lead to a summit viewing platform over the city and the Longjing plain; a favourite local hike.
No booking needed2–3 hours
Tip
After the climb, eat at one of the farmhouse restaurants in the village at the foot of the hill, known for Korean-style sticky-rice chicken. Combine it with the Korean Folk Garden on the way back.
