Dafotou Mountain is located on the northern Hua'ao Island of Xiangshan County in east China's Zhejiang Province. For the passing ships in ancient times, the sight of the mountain marked the boundary of Zhejiang waters. The natural beacon has been watching the salt field at its foot for the last 1,300 years.
