Shanghai West She Mountain Photo Shoot

She Mountain is located in Songjiang, Shanghai, divided into East She Mountain and West She Mountain. The former has an elevation of 74 meters, while the latter is 97 meters. The two mountains are collectively referred to as Yushan National Forest Park. In 2000, it was approved by the National Tourism Administration as the first batch of 4A-level tourist attractions, and in 2012, it was rated by the National Forestry Administration as the most influential national forest park. Speaking of Yushan, provinces with many famous mountains and rivers may sneer, how can a hill that does not exceed a hundred meters also be called a mountain? In fact, it is not. Although the mountain range is a bit low, the humanistic allusions and historical origins of Yushan are not lost to other mountains. Especially West Yushan, it is the scenic spot with the most, best, and largest area in Yushan National Forest Park. The Far East's largest church located at the top of West Yushan, Yushan Madonna Cathedral is very well-known in East China. The cathedral has 1,000 seats, providing convenience for the faithful to celebrate Mass. Every May's Madonna Month and December's Christmas, tens of thousands of Catholics from all over the country come here for pilgrimage. It is also a landmark building of Yushan; She Mountain Observatory, built by the French Catholic Jesuit in 1900, is also China's oldest observatory; the same is located on the right side of the east gate of West Yushan Park, the over-thousand-year-old Xiudaozhe Tower, its towering tower body straight into the sky, magnificent. The ancient objects such as the stone beasts around the tower set off the ancient tower like stars holding the moon, and the entire tower area is spectacular. On a sunny day, the Catholic Cathedral on the top of the mountain is also a popular choice for newlyweds to take wedding photos. She Mountain is a big green oxygen bar, for the citizens who have been in the city for a long time, it is a good place to cleanse the lungs and moisturize the body. Every holiday, the scenic area is crowded with people. The whole family supports the old and brings the young, friends meet in threes and fives to gather in She Mountain, and spend a relaxed and wonderful day. She Mountain, it is the holy mountain in the hearts of Catholics across the country, and it is also a treasure land for leisure and sightseeing for the people of Shanghai.
