The height of bravery

Memorial Hall dedicated to war hero Zhao Yiman is fittingly embraced by Cuiping Mountain's natural beauty, Huang Zhiling and Peng Chao report.

Visitors to Yibin in Sichuan province may, sometimes, be caught by surprise to see a large and tranquil mountain in the city's downtown.

Taxi drivers tell them that it's Cuiping Mountain, the second-largest man-made forest scenic area in China, next to the Purple Mountain in Nanjing, Jiangsu province.

Locals love to walk on the mountain all year round to keep fit, they say.
