The Fushan forest park (浮山森林公园 Fushan senlin gongyuan) is a mountain park with some nice trails for easy walking and hiking and offers spectacular views over the city, shore and beaches. There are some old military tunnels near the peak that can be explored (bring a flashlight!). The hike to the top takes about 1 hour. Don't forget to take enough water and maybe some snacks along, as there are no vendors or stores in and nearby the park. The most popular route starts from the south entrance near Wangjiamaidao and follows a paved path to the summit, passing several viewpoints. The full loop takes about 2-3 hours. Bring sturdy shoes, water, and a flashlight if you plan to explore the old military tunnels near the peak.
