Dongbai Mountain is located in the central part of Zhejiang, within the jurisdiction of Huyu Town, Dongyang City. It is the main peak of the Kuaiji Mountain Range, with an elevation of 1194.6 meters, bordered by Zhuji City to the north and Shengzhou City to the east, making it one of the famous mountains in Eastern Zhejiang.
Dongbai Mountain boasts a pleasant climate and is perennially enveloped in clouds and mist, making it a naturally endowed summer retreat and leisure destination. In early spring: the mountain is a splendid array of flowers in full bloom, with a colorful display; tea leaves cover the hillsides, emitting a fragrant aroma. In midsummer: springs bubble in clear pools, with green shades spread everywhere; layered peaks are adorned with exotic flowers and plants. In the golden autumn: wild fruits cover the ground, with a lingering fragrance; the forests are painted in brilliant colors. In the severe winter: the mountain is dressed in silver, with jade-like trees and buildings; fog-bound pines and ice-encrusted branches exude a sparkling elegance.
