Dahei Mountain

Dahei Mountain is a peak reaching approximately 660 meters in elevation, making it the highest point on the southern Liaodong Peninsula in Liaoning Province. The slopes feature hiking trails of varying difficulty that wind through forested areas with viewpoints leading to the summit.

The mountain forms part of the Qianshan range, an ancient geological formation extending across northeastern Liaoning Province. This mountain chain has shaped the landscape of the Liaodong Peninsula for thousands of years.

The mountain serves as a gathering place where locals spend leisure time hiking and enjoying views across the southern Liaodong Peninsula. Walking trails draw families and groups throughout the year, particularly during seasons when outdoor activities are most comfortable.

The mountain is accessible by public transportation from Dalian, with spring and autumn providing the most comfortable hiking conditions. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and bring adequate water, as the ascent can take several hours depending on the chosen route.

The name translates literally to 'Big Black' in reference to the mountain's dark appearance, particularly visible when viewed from Dalian University's campus at its base. This distinctive coloring makes the peak easily recognizable from a distance.
