Chishui has Jiuxian Mountain in its administrative town boundaries.[7] Daiyun Mountain (also known as Yingxue Mountain) is another mountain in Daiyun, a village administered under Chishui. Daiyun Mountain is 1856 metres tall, takes up 35 km², and is heavily vegetated, protected and trailed. It is known as 'the ridge of Mid-Fujian' and overlooks Alishan mountain ranges in Taiwan. Huangshan pine trees are scattered over the mountain. Chishui also has a ceramics museum and a location on the Taoxian River.[8]
