Mao Gong Mountain, located on the eastern side of Laohei Mountain in the northern part of Jingpohu, faces Jingpohu Lake Villa across the lake. With an elevation of 824.4 meters, it is formed by the overlapping of two mountain ranges, resembling the image of Comrade Mao Zedong lying on his back in the "Memorial Hall." The mountain stretches over 4,000 meters, with distinct facial features and well-proportioned body parts. From a distance, Mao Gong Mountain presents thick eyebrows, a broad forehead, and a serene expression; a robust, majestic, and broad-shouldered figure; an elegant, noble, and brilliant demeanor; and a solemn, awe-inspiring, and grand presence. Its magnificent form is both majestic and spectacular. Not only does it leave a profound and mysterious impression on visitors, but it also adds an eternal life-like sculpture to the beautiful landscape.

A man is like a mountain, and a mountain is like a man. Mao Gong Mountain, with its towering and unyielding character, has lain on its back for millennia, enduring the vicissitudes of time, standing majestic and peerless. The personification of nature and the naturalization of personality are most fully displayed here. In people's hearts, Mao Gong Mountain has been endowed with a spirit, an emotion, a reverence, and a faith, becoming a "sacred mountain" that transcends nature, time, and space, rich in meaning.

（Ladies and gentlemen, now I would like to introduce Chairman Mao‑Shaped Mountain to you.

Chairman Mao‑Shaped Mountain lies to the east of Lahei Mountain at Beihutou, facing the State Guest Villa of Jingpo Mountain Villa across the lake. This spot offers the best viewing angle. Standing at an altitude of 824.4 metres, it is formed by two mountain ranges combined. Its silhouette bears a striking resemblance to Chairman Mao Zedong lying on his back as seen in the Memorial Hall. The figure stretches as long as 4,000 metres, with distinct facial features and well‑proportioned body parts. Notably, there is a “mole” on its chin — actually a large tree, which becomes less noticeable in winter after its leaves fall.

Gazing from afar at Chairman Mao‑Shaped Mountain, you can make out thick eyebrows, a full forehead and a serene countenance; a robust, broad and towering physique; elegant, noble bearing and extraordinary talent; as well as awe‑inspiring, mighty momentum. Its grand and imposing figure is magnificent. It not only leaves tourists with boundless imagination, but also endows the beautiful landscape with an eternal living sculpture.

“Lest men behold its likeness, it veils beneath mist for thousands of years.” Before Chairman Mao Zedong passed away, no one had associated the mountain’s shape with his likeness in the Memorial Hall. On July 18, 1993, Bi Dechang, General Manager of Harbin Friendship Palace, visited Jingpo Lake. Standing on the platform of No. 1 State Guest Villa and leaning against the railing to admire the lake scenery, he was struck by a sudden inspiration. He noticed that the mountain range east of Lahei Mountain closely resembled Chairman Mao Zedong lying supine in the Memorial Hall. People were instantly excited, talking animatedly, overjoyed and spreading the news far and wide. This was recognised as a marvellous natural wonder.

Yet a great scenic wonder needed a proper name, which became quite a puzzle at that time. The scenic‑area administration issued public calls for proposals through the media on several occasions. Suggested names such as Red‑Sun Mountain, Leader Mountain and Reclining Dragon Mountain were none satisfactory. As time went by, people naturally began to call it “Chairman Mao‑Shaped Mountain”. Gradually, the name gained common usage, became widely accepted among the public and won high renown.

“For thousands of years the great man lies reclined, unshaken through vicissitudes of time. Today this age‑old wonder meets our eyes; thousands turn to behold this sacred mountain.” This unique natural spectacle caused a sensation both inside and outside the province, even at home and abroad. Tourists poured in from all directions. Many Party and state leaders once came here to view the mountain with reverence. When five major national religious leaders attended the national religious conference held at Jingpo Lake, they all paid devout homage to Chairman Mao‑Shaped Mountain. Every one of them exclaimed sincerely at the marvel of this natural formation.

The mountain mirrors the man, and the man is mirrored in the mountain. With unwavering integrity, Chairman Mao‑Shaped Mountain rises majestically between heaven and earth, unparalleled in its grand bearing. Here the personification of nature and the naturalisation of humanity find their fullest expression. In people’s hearts, the mountain embodies a spirit, an affection, reverence and faith. It has become a “sacred mountain” transcending nature and time, rich in profound connotations. While admiring and marvelling at the sight, many visitors cannot help but fall into deep reflection: why would the great man’s posthumous image manifest itself at Jingpo Lake? Opinions vary, yet none offer a fully convincing explanation. We sincerely invite insightful minds to explore this mystery. Dear friends, please use your wisdom to interpret this miraculous natural phenomenon.）
