[2025 Harbin Attraction] Travel Guide for Jinlong Mountain National Forest Park (Updated Jul)

We arrived at Jinlongshan National Forest Park while the morning was still cool, the air thick with the scent of pine and damp earth. The forest stood tall and quiet, dappled light filtering through layers of green like a slow-moving canopy of glass. Every path seemed to wind deliberately, as if the mountain wanted you to slow down and notice the twist of a vine, the call of a bird, the sudden hush when the wind paused. 🌲🦜🍃 Streams threaded between mossy stones, their water clear and cold, breaking the stillness with soft, steady sound. Higher up, wooden pavilions peeked from the trees, offering places to sit, sip tea, and watch clouds drift lazily over the peaks. The air felt thinner but lighter too, like you were breathing a little deeper without noticing. In summer, Jinlongshan doesn’t shout its beauty; it lets it settle around you, quiet and insistent. It’s the kind of place where the city feels distant, where time softens, and where even the wind seems to know the way home. 🏞️🌤️🕊️ #summervacay #travel #thingstodo

Located in the heart of Northeast China, south of Harbin, Jinlong Mountain quietly unfolds its four-season scroll, with every inch of land containing the deep affection of nature and the whispers of time. Stepping into this magical land is like stepping into a paradise away from the hustle and bustle, where the soul can be baptized in the purest way. In spring, everything in Jinlong Mountain revives, with tender green buds and wild flowers in the mountains blooming one after another, as if the gentlest brushwork of nature outlines a vibrant spring scene. Walking along the forest path, every breath is fresh negative oxygen ions, which makes people feel relaxed and forget the troubles of the world. In the hot summer, Jinlong Mountain is a cool summer resort. The lush woods cover the sky, the streams are gurgling, clear and bottomless, like a cool movement, gently echoing in the ears. Here, time seems to slow down, allowing people to indulge in this rare tranquility and coolness. The autumn wind is refreshing, and Jinlong Mountain is full of colorful forests, with golden and fiery red intertwined into a gorgeous autumn scroll. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking far away, the mountains are like dais, with distinct levels, as if the most proud palette of nature, making the world extraordinarily enchanting. At this moment, Jinlong Mountain adds a bit of maturity and depth, making people awe and grateful. In the winter, Jinlong Mountain is dressed in silver and turned into a kingdom of ice and snow. The forest covered with white snow is quiet and mysterious. Every tree and every leaf is covered with a white gauze, like a fairyland in a fairy tale world. Skiing, snow watching, snow playing, people laugh in the world of ice and snow, feeling the unique fun and warmth of winter. Jinlong Mountain is not only a beautiful tourist attraction, but also a habitat for the soul. Here, we can find inner peace and strength, and feel the endless gifts that nature gives us.

Come to the mountains to breathe some oxygen in summer. Original price 50 yuan/person, student ticket 25 yuan/person, purchase online one day in advance for 40 yuan/person :We drove there by rented car, Jinlong Mountain is about sixty or seventy kilometers from the city center. There is a paid parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area, which costs 5 yuan with no time limit. :You can take a sightseeing car up and down the mountain, 5 yuan/person for going up and 10 yuan/person for going down. We took the sightseeing car both ways and only hiked a short distance ourselves, which wasn't too tiring. There are also places for camping and barbecuing in the mountains, which probably require advance reservation. There's only one snack bar that I saw, and it has a very limited selection, so if you're worried about getting hungry, it's recommended to bring some snacks.

I would like to call it the most beautiful viewing platform in Harbin in autumn. There is a beautiful primeval forest near Harbin. In autumn, it turns into a colorful world. The magnificent mountains and charming red leaves make this place brilliant. This is the Diaoshui Lake Scenic Area of ​​Hengtou Mountain. The scenic area is located in Acheng District, Harbin City, more than 90 kilometers away from the city center. The ticket to the scenic area is 40. You can drive up the mountain directly to the top of the mountain without climbing. Then walk 200 meters along the plank road from the top of the mountain parking lot to reach the observation deck. The scenery on the top of the mountain is very spectacular, and there are many red leaves. It is definitely worth a visit. The top of Diaoshui Lake is 720 meters above sea level. It is windy and cold, but there are not many tourists. There was no traffic jam when I went there on the 2nd, and there were still many empty parking spaces in the parking lot on the top of the mountain. It is now the best viewing period. Navigation: Hengtoushan National Forest Park Diaoshui Lake Scenic Area Tickets: 40 per person, you can drive up the mountain, the car is free Route: There are two routes to choose from, one is to take the Harbin-Mudanjiang Expressway to Pingshan, then walk along the road to Songfeng Mountain and turn right at the Diaoshui Lake Scenic Area. Another route is to take Changjiang Road - Harbin-Hongxing Highway (Hongxing Reservoir) - Quannan Highway - Songjiang Copper Mine - Diaoshui Lake Scenic Area. The latter is shorter, but the road to the copper mine is narrow and difficult to travel.

I would call it the most beautiful autumn observatory in Harbin. In the vicinity of Harbin, there is a stunning primeval forest that turns into a colorful world in autumn, with the magnificent multicolored mountain hues and enchanting red leaves making the area vibrantly beautiful.

You can drive up the mountain directly to the top without the need to hike. After parking at the mountaintop parking lot, a 200-meter walkway leads you to the observatory. The view from the mountaintop is spectacular, and there are many red leaves, making it well worth the visit. The altitude of Diaoshuihu at the mountaintop is 720 meters, and it is quite windy and cold, but there are not too many tourists. I went on the 2nd and there was no traffic jam, and there were quite a few empty spots in the mountaintop parking lot. It has now entered the best viewing period. Navigation: Hengtou Mountain National Forest Park Diaoshuihu Scenic Area Entrance fee: 40 yuan per person, you can drive up the mountain, parking is free Route: There are two routes to choose from.
