Zhuhai Jingshan Park is located at No.1 Jida Haibin North Road, Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province. It is an urban mountain‑leisure park covering an area of 579,000 square meters. The main peak of the mountain stands 148 meters above sea level. Nestled between mountains and sea and adjacent to Xianglu Bay and Lover's Road, it serves as a core mountain‑sea viewing spot in the Jida area of Zhuhai. Featuring natural pictographic rock formations as its highlight, the park integrates mountain hiking, cable‑car sightseeing, jungle tobogganing and lakeside recreation. It consists of five functional zones: the mountain‑top viewing area, mid‑mountain rock‑scenic area, lakeside recreation area, cable‑car and toboggan zone, and large amusement‑park zone. The Jingshan Cable Car inside the park is 350 meters long and the rail toboggan run is 630 meters long. A large viewing platform on the mountain top offers a 360‑degree panorama of Xianglu Bay, Zhuhai Fisher Girl, Zhuhai Grand Theater, Hong Kong‑Zhuhai‑Macao Bridge and the distant skyline of Macao. It is a classic urban overlook for mountain and sea views in downtown Zhuhai.
History and Culture
Formerly known as Shijingshan, Jingshan Park got its name from its abundant naturally‑formed rocks shaped like various animals. This coastal mountain had been part of Xiangshan’s shoreline since ancient times. Literati visited here during the Qing Dynasty and left behind the cliff‑carved inscription "Hai Tian Di Zhu", recording the local mountain‑sea culture. In ancient times, fishermen near Xianglu Bay often climbed this mountain to observe sea conditions, winds and returning vessels. It functioned as a natural coastal observation highland for local residents.
Shijingshan was officially opened to the public in 1987 under the name Shijingshan Park, later commonly called Jingshan Park by local citizens. The on‑site cable‑car and toboggan projects were completed and put into operation in 1998, becoming landmark sightseeing attractions of Zhuhai. Thanks to its outstanding vantage point, the site has long been a city‑representative scenic spot receiving tourists from home and abroad. Subsequent upgrades added supporting facilities including a mountain‑top theme post office, love‑lock area and leisure tea house. Combining natural rock landscapes, coastal scenery and urban cultural‑tourism experiences, it has become an important free public park along Zhuhai Lover's Road tourist belt.
Main Attractions
Viewing Platform
Situated on the summit of Jingshan Mountain, the viewing platform is the core scenic spot of the whole park. The spacious platform delivers a full 360‑degree view of mountains, sea and city. On clear days visitors can overlook Xianglu Bay Beach, the Zhuhai Fisher Girl Statue and the Grand Theater on Yeli Island. When visibility is good, the Hong Kong‑Zhuhai‑Macao Bridge and Macao urban skyline come into sight. The platform is equipped with a love‑lock zone, love‑themed benches and Wanghai Pavilion, alongside a mountain‑top coffee kiosk and Jingshan Theme Post Office. Designed with a giant post‑box shape, the post office provides postcards, commemorative stamps and other cultural‑creative experiences. Sunset hours make this a popular shooting location for seascapes and city twilight scenes.
Sightseeing Cable Car
The cable car stretches 350 meters in total length with a one‑way operating speed of 1.25 meters per second and a one‑way capacity of 500 passengers per hour. It departs from the lower‑station terminal and arrives directly at the mountain‑top platform. The open‑air chairs enable passengers to enjoy successive views of woodland, urban building clusters and bay scenery during the ascent. Seats facing the sea offer better sightlines, and the ride takes roughly three minutes to reach the summit, ideal for visitors with limited physical strength. The cable car operates as a separately‑charged facility and may suspend service temporarily in strong wind or heavy rain.
Toboggan Run
The toboggan run winds from the mountain top down to the foothill, with a total rail length of 630 meters passing through woodland and rock formations. Riders sit in sleds and control their own braking speed. One of the park’s most popular recreational facilities, it delivers an immersive jungle‑gliding experience while offering views of mountain vegetation and rock outcrops, and is recommended for the downhill journey. Height restrictions apply: children under 1.1 meters in height are not permitted to ride.
Mid‑mountain Rock‑scenic Area
Twenty‑six groups of natural pictographic rock formations scatter across the mid‑mountain zone. Their shapes resemble animals including toads, seagulls, whales, buffaloes and giant pandas, which gave Shijingshan its original name. This zone also preserves cultural relics such as the cliff‑carved inscription "Hai Tian Di Zhu" and Longquan Spring. The mountain trails run gently, suitable for slow‑paced hiking to appreciate rock formations under dense tree cover that provides ample shade.
Green Lake (Man‑made Lake)
Located inside the lakeside recreation zone, Green Lake is an artificial water body covering approximately 6,000 square meters. Its shoreline features large sloped lawns, metasequoia couple‑tree landscape on the water, boat‑rental services, a children’s playground and the Bitan Piaopu rock‑and‑water feature. It is well‑suited for casual family strolls and serves as the main rest area near the park entrance.
