Zhujiajian Dashan Green Mountain National Park is the core scenic area of Putuoshan National Key Scenic Area and National AAAA-level scenic spot – Zhujiajian. Covering an area of ten square kilometers, with over 30 kilometers of coastline and an 18-kilometer island tour avenue, it gathers a series of high-quality resources for modern coastal leisure and vacation, such as sunshine, waves, beaches, reefs, cliffs, fishing villages, and thousand-island sea views, as well as unique elements of the national park. Dashan Green Mountain National Park is famous for its unique scenic resources of ‘strange mountains, peculiar rocks, and beautiful beaches’.
Qiansha, also known as Qianbu Sand, is about 1200 meters long and 170 meters wide. It lies between Mumountain and Laitou Mountain, like a pole that has been carrying two green mountains for years, with steep reefs on both sides of the north and south, and waves crashing on the shore. Golden sands spread along the azure sea, and walking on it feels like walking on a golden carpet, with the distant sea and solitary sails, clouds, and sky reflections, which are even more refreshing to the mind.
Four Seasons Flower Sea covers an area of more than 400 acres, consisting of four major areas: the main flower sea area, water system landscape area, lawn leisure area, and supporting service area. The area is equipped with facilities for boating, shouting fountains, children’s playgrounds, and slides, as well as outdoor activities such as barbecues, bonfires, and camping, allowing visitors to tour, play, and rest.
Lisha Beach Bathing Area, also known as ‘West Lotus Pond Great Beach’, is said to have been the site where Putuoshan monks built the West Lotus Pond, hence the name. The beach is about 800 meters long and 170 meters wide. The beach is shaped like a crescent moon, with a gentle slope and golden sand quality. Whenever the east wind blows, the sand rises like fog, swirling above the beach, which is spectacular. As a beach bathing area, Lisha has clear sea water and fine sand quality; floating bridges, sailboats, and motorboats offer exciting leisure projects, making Dashan Green Mountain a combination of dynamic and static, full of fun; supporting facilities such as showers and storage services let you enjoy your visit without worries. [Note: This is an outdoor bathing area, affected by weather factors, not open all year round, please inquire in advance before entering.]
Lisha Ecological Garden surrounds Lisha, covering an area of more than 100 acres, with a history of over a thousand years. The tree canopy in the forest all stretches towards the direction away from the sea, like a sail, forming a unique landscape of ‘ancient sand into a forest, green trees climbing green vines’. The good ecological environment here is known as a ‘natural oxygen bar’. You can experience entertainment projects such as ‘jungle bumper cars’, ‘log climbing’, and ‘bamboo forest maze’ here, or take a rest on a swing hammock, feeling the ubiquitous negative oxygen ions.
Qingsa Beach is about 500 meters long and 150 meters wide, facing the east sea and backed by Dashan Green Mountain. The lush mountain shadows dye the ocean, beach, and village here into a blue color, hence the name. Due to the influence of the terrain, when the east wind arises, the surging waves continuously crash into the sand dunes, and the spray resembles a light gauze dress, dancing on the beach, thus forming the spectacular scene known as ‘Qingsha Smoke Waves’.
Niutou Mountain, located on the eastern side of Dashan, is named for its shape, which resembles a cow’s head reaching out to the sea to drink water. It serves as a cape that divides the north and south of the scenic area, naturally forming a panoramic viewing point. Standing atop Niutou Mountain, to the north, one can clearly take in the ‘ten miles of golden sand and five linked beaches’, while to the south and east, the boundless sea stretches as far as the eye can see, marking the essential route of the ‘Maritime Silk Road’, an international deep-water shipping lane.
Mao Tiao, a natural cape protruding into the sea on the southern ridge of Dashan, features rugged rocks along the cliffs, making it an ideal spot for sea gazing and reef appreciation. Due to the uneven terrain, one must leap over the rocks, resembling a cat’s jump, hence the name. The narrow and elongated terrain of Mao Tiao is at the forefront where the East China Sea waves crash against the coast, and it is also the main area where the magical ‘Qingshan Drunken Mist’ rises, earning it the more poetic name ‘Cape Mist Waves’.
TheSuch a natural fountain is a rare sight, and the formation of the spouting spectacle depends on the size of the waves and the height of the tide. Encountering the spectacle of the spouting cave may well set the tone for a lucky day.
Qingshan Peak, the main peak of Dashan, stands at an elevation of 378.6 meters. In the 1950s, Dashan served as an outpost of the East China Sea with a garrison of troops. Military facilities such as barracks, tunnels, and garages can still be found on Qingshan Peak. The summit offers a broad view, making it a prime spot for viewing the thousand-island seascape. To the east, one can see Putuo and Dongji Islands; to the south, Dongting Mountain Lighthouse and Yang’an Fishing Grounds; to the west, Taohua Island and the main passage to the East China Sea fishing grounds, Wushamen Waterway; and to the north, Shenjiamen Fishery Port, known as ‘China’s Fishing Capital’. Standing atop the summit, with the sea breeze at your back, one’s heart and mind expand with a sense of freedom. Embracing distant mountains and swallowing the vast East China Sea, the view is boundless and ever-changing with the morning sun and evening shadows, full of diverse weather phenomena.
Shaojiwan Fishing Village, located at the foot of the western slope of Dashan, is a natural harbor facing the Wushamen Waterway that leads to and from the Yang’an Fishing Grounds. Surrounded by mountains on three sides with a flat interior, it is about 330 meters wide from north to south and 1500 meters deep. Named for its resemblance to the winnowing baskets used by fishermen to separate rice, Shaojiwan has been the home of seaside dwellers on Zhujiajian Island since ancient times. The ancient inhabitants sailed and fished here, gradually forming the first natural fishing village of Zhujiajian. Shaojiwan is now one of the well-preserved original ecological fishing villages along the coast of Eastern Zhejiang.
