Yetai Mountain

Large-scale tree planting began here in the 1970s, creating mixed woodland dominated by black locust and Chinese pine. The main peak reaches 1,313 metres. A memorial stele and pavilion were erected on the summit in 1985 to commemorate the 1945 battle. The memorial museum displays wartime objects, documents and photographs.

Buckwheat and orchard produce

Chunhua’s food repertoire includes buckwheat hele noodles (荞面饸饹), buckwheat pancakes (荞面煎饼), potato flatbread (洋芋馍) and jiaotuan (搅团). Buckwheat also appears in local vinegar and biscuits. Fruit-growing areas include cherry orchards at Yin’an Village (引安村), early peaches at Zuitou Village (咀头村), and apples along the route through Tiewang Town (铁王镇).
