Located in Suiping county in the south of Central China's Henan province, Chaya Mountain covers a total area of 148 square kilometers, including the main scenic area of 50 sq km. The mountain is only 514 meters above sea level, and it can be more accurately called a "hill" when compared with other mountains towering a few thousand meters high.

Consisting of four hills - Liufeng Hill, Mila Hill, Northern Hill and Southern Hill - the mountain is surrounded by four beautiful and poetic lakes, making it a picturesque and stunning living painting. It can be visited in all four seasons because each season offers totally different but still very beautiful scenery.

Abundant with cultural and natural landscapes, the zone has more than 300 scenic spots with distinct characteristics. The unique geological phenomena play a significant role in the research of the Yanshan movement, one of the geological movements related to the formation of the North China Craton.

The area became even more famous a few years ago after a camera crew shot a TV series about what happened to the characters in the Chinese classic Journey to the West after the events depicted in the novel.
