Mountains

The hills of Lishui, each entry giving its elevation and drainage basin. Every peak named in an official document has an entry; elevations and basins come from government documents and technical reports, and where no official document names the hill a figure belongs to, the entry says so rather than guessing.

The district’s highest point, 368.5 m, is not attributed to a named hill in any official document; the gap is set out on the About page.

Mountains and Hills Donglu Mountain At the source of the Qinhuai, its main peak given as 291 m Donglu Mountain lies about 10 km east of Yongyang Subdistrict. The Jiangsu Provincial Local Gazetteers Office calls it a landmark mountain at the source of the Nanjing Qinhuai River; one of its three springs feeds the Qinhuai, and its main peak is given as 291 m. The district government records "Donglu's layered peaks" among the eight old views of Zhongshan, the name said to come from the Eastern Han scholar Yan Ziling, who is said to have built a hut here. A 2011 municipal schedule lists a Donglu Mountain scenic area at municipal level. MountainLandscapeScenic site unchecked Standard Mountains and Hills Fangshan Mountain A massif in the Zhishan administrative village area, Jingqiao Town; a journal gives its elevation only as above 220 m Fangshan lies within the territory of Zhishan administrative village, Jingqiao Town, in the Ningzhenyang hill country, its parent rock mainly sandstone and mudstone with limestone in places. A 2022 paper in the Journal of Plant Nutrition and Fertilizers writes that Fangshan, above 220 m, is the highest peak in the area; that is a range, not a surveyed summit elevation, so elevation_m is declared in gaps. The paper calls the mountain's woodland a forest protection area that still holds subtropical evergreen mixed forest. The district forestry farm also has a Fangshan sub-farm, and whether it and the paper's Zhishan administrative village refer to the same massif is not stated; the entry sets the two side by side. No official document names its basin, which is recorded as undetermined. MountainLandscapeForests Confidence: Qualifiedunchecked Standard Mountains and Hills Fujiabian Hills The hills around Fujiabian in Honglan Subdistrict, where the Fujiabian Agricultural Science and Technology Sightseeing Park and its plum garden stand The Fujiabian Hills are the hilly land around Fujiabian in Honglan Subdistrict. The Fujiabian Agricultural Science and Technology Sightseeing Park stands among them as a AAA-rated tourist attraction, on the grading notice announced by the National Tourist Attraction Quality Grade Assessment Committee as Announcement No. 1 of 2006, the year this entry records. The area is the Lishui sub-venue of the China Nanjing International Plum Blossom Festival and the host place of the Lishui Plum Blossom Season, and the plum garden and strawberry bases are its main sights. No official document gives the elevation or the basin of these hills, so elevation_m is declared in gaps and the basin is recorded as undetermined. MountainLandscapeHills Confidence: Qualifiedunchecked Standard Mountains and Hills Fushan One of the mountains named in official documents, in Baima Town; the place where famine victims dug white clay, as an old gazetteer records Fushan lies in Baima Town and is one of the mountains that the district's land spatial plan near-term implementation plan lists as guarding the east and south. Another edition of the Wuxiang Mountain national forest park master plan records purple soil at Fushan, Baima Town. No official document gives Fushan's elevation or its basin, so elevation_m is declared in gaps and the basin is recorded as undetermined. Volume one of the Lishui County Gazetteer (Kangxi edition) records that in 1639 famine victims took white clay at Fushan, calling it Guanyin powder; the famine itself is covered by the history site, and this entry records only the mountain and the name of that product. Baima Town also has a Fushan villagers' committee, and the craft of roasting Fushan small-seed peanuts appears in a district-level fourth-batch public notice of January 2024. MountainLandscapeHills Confidence: Qualifiedunchecked Standard Mountains and Hills Huifeng Mountain A Maoshan range mountain about 21 km south-east of the district seat, its summit given as 229 m Huifeng Mountain lies in Baima Town, about 21 km south-east of the Lishui district seat. It forms the middle section of the Maoshan range and runs north-east to south-west, its summit given as 229 m (the figure in a 1980 paper in Vertebrata PalAsiatica). Shenxian Cave on the north-west slope was dissolved along the bedding planes of Carboniferous limestone; the 1977 excavation recovered fossils of 19 animal species and a human temporal bone, dated to about 11,000 years ago, and the district government lists the Huifeng Mountain early-human fossil site among the district's cultural antiquities. No official document names its basin, so the entry records it as undetermined. MountainLandscapeCave sites unchecked Long-form Mountains and Hills Qiuhu Mountain A linked massif in the Wuxiang Mountain National Forest Park, main peak 279.8 m Qiuhu Mountain lies 13 km south-east of Lishui town centre and forms part of the Wuxiang Mountain National Forest Park; its main peak is 279.8 m, on the figure of the Jiangsu Provincial Forestry Bureau's forest park plan. The remains of a Ming quarry on the mountain are the "Qiuhu Mountain quarry" of the municipal list of protected sites. It belongs to the Shijiu Lake basin and to Yongyang Subdistrict. The forest park plan writes the name once as Qiuhu with a different first character; this site follows the municipal heritage list and uses Qiuhu throughout. MountainForestsLandscape unchecked Standard Mountains and Hills Wuxiang Mountain A linked massif holding a national forest park and a 3A scenic area Wuxiang Mountain lies in Honglan Subdistrict; its elevation is 209.8 m on the provincial forestry bureau's forest park plan, and the name is that of the linked massif in which the Wuxiang Mountain National Forest Park stands. The park takes in more than twenty peaks, among them Wuxiang, Shuangjian and Qiuhu mountains; it was approved by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration in January 2015 with a planned area of 2071.71 ha. Wuxiang Temple on the mountain belongs to the Shijiu Lake system. The scenic area was approved as a Jiangsu Provincial Ecotourism Demonstration Area in 2017 and rated a national 3A tourist attraction in 2020. MountainForestsLandscape unchecked Long-form Mountains and Hills Xiheng Mountain The massif at the western end of the district, the divide between the Qinhuai River and Shijiu Lake systems Xiheng Mountain stands out at the western end of Lishui District and runs on for tens of kilometres, formed together with the mountains of Jiangning District and of Dangtu County in Anhui, which are known collectively as Hengshan. It is the divide between the Qinhuai River and Shijiu Lake systems: the Hengshan waters going north join the Qinhuai River, and the streams going south fall to Shijiu Lake. A Shiqiu Subdistrict feature calls it an ancient range recorded in the Jiankang Gazetteer of 1261, but that is a second-hand report and the original text has not been checked. No official document gives its elevation, main peak name or area, so elevation_m is declared in gaps and the basin is recorded as the divide itself.
