The Qianling Mountain Park, a national AAAA scenic spot, is located in the northwest of Guiyang city and is named "No.1 Mountain in Guizhou".

Founded in 1957, the park is a comprehensive tourist park famous for bright mountains, beautiful rivers, serene forests, ancient temples, holy spring and clever monkeys, so it has been honored as “rich in the city, beauty in the nature”.

A zoo is built in the quiet valley of the park with clear springs and strange rocks, creating good habitats for monkeys and birds. Qianling Mountain Park is not only a national famous scenic spot but also a good base for teaching and practice for its complicated geological structure and various plants. In addition, the mountain also maintains the Quaternary Ice Age relics. In April 1944, after the investigation by Li Siguang, a famous geologist, the site of Hong Fu Temple in Qianling Mountain was certified as an ice kiln of the Quaternary Ice Age relics.

Qianling Mountain has more than 1,500 trees and flowers and over 1,000 rare medicinal herbs. Qianling Lake sits at the base, blue and sparkling, smooth like a mirror with boats like twinkling stars. A monument to a revolutionary martyr stands near the Lake, sheltered by pines and cypresses. The park also has various scenic spots such as Hong Fu Temple, Qianling Lake, Qiling Cave, Monkey Park and Nine Winding Path. You can climb along Nine Winding Path to Hong Fu Temple. The temple, built at the joint of the end of the Ming and the start of the Qing Dynasties, is a famous Buddhist temple in Guizhou. Nine winding path, formed in the 27th year of Emperor Kangxi (1688), is named for the nine steep “zigzag” turnings in front of the gate of Hong Fu Temple. The monkeys beg for food on the roadside from time to time. During the Anti-Japanese War, the patriotic generals Xueliang Zhang and Hucheng Yang were under house arrest in Qiling Cave.

Qianling Lake is an artificial lake with pleasant scenery, a good place for swimming and a popular choice for summer travel. During the holiday, the park is overcrowded. It is recommended to travel during a drizzle or after rain.
