Mount Jinfo, Karst mountain in Nanchuan District, China

Mount Jinfo is the highest peak of the Dalou Mountains, rising to 2,251 metres in Nanchuan District, Chongqing. Its top is a relatively flat platform of Permian limestone, edged by cliffs up to 300 metres high. Below the summit, gorges cut through Cambrian and Ordovician limestone and dolomite between roughly 800 and 1,200 metres.

The site gained international recognition in 2001 as a tentative World Heritage candidate and was officially inscribed as part of a larger heritage area in 2014. This designation brought formal protection and increased focus on conservation efforts.

The name Jinfo Shan, "Golden Buddha Mountain", comes from the sight on clear late-summer and autumn evenings, when the setting sun turns the layered cliffs gold, like rows of gilded Buddhas. The mountain lies in the Dalou range in Nanchuan District, Chongqing.

The mountain is accessible from multiple entry points, each offering different climbing routes with varying difficulty levels. Regular bus connections link the area to nearby cities, making the approach straightforward for most visitors.

The mountain's top holds 4,768 species of seed plants, and it may shelter some of the few naturally occurring populations of Ginkgo biloba. It is also a refuge for the endangered Francois' langur, a monkey confined to karst regions.
