Qianshan National Park sits in the Qianshan Scenic Area of Anshan, in Liaoning Province, northeastern China. It is also known as Thousand Lotus Mountain Park, a name that reflects the many peaks rising across its landscape.
What the park offers
The park is best known for its mountain scenery, its ancient temples and its natural beauty. Much of a visit is spent on foot, following the hiking trails that wind through the hills. Along the way, Buddhist temples give the walk a quieter, more reflective character, and the open ridges reward the climb with panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.
Who it suits
- Walkers and hikers who enjoy a day on mountain paths
- Visitors interested in Buddhist temples and sacred sites
- Photographers and anyone who wants wide views from high ground
- Travellers looking for a green, open break from city streets
Planning your visit
Because the park covers a large area of hills, it is worth allowing a full day and choosing your routes in advance. Comfortable footwear is sensible for the trails. Anshan itself is the nearest city base, so it makes a convenient starting point for a day trip. For questions before you travel, the park can be reached by telephone at +86-412-5420464.
