Shizishan Subdistrict, named after Mount Shizi located in the subdistrict, is a subdistrict in southern Hongshan District, Wuhan, Hubei, China.[5] To the east it borders the Shizitou South Lake Bridge across from Zhongnan University of Economics and Law; to the south it borders Liqiao Fishery on the southern shore of Yezhi Lake and Hongshan Subdistrict; to the west it reaches Wunan Station on the Beijing–Guangzhou railway and Zhangjiawan Subdistrict; to the north it reaches South Lake's Liantong Port on Xunsi River.[1]: 203 Huazhong Agricultural University and the main campus of Hubei University of Technology are located in the subdistrict.
Geography
The western part of the subdistrict is located between two lakes (South Lake and Yezhi Lake) and around the mountain which gives the district its name. Mount Shizi (Chinese: 狮子山; lit. 'Lion Mountain') is so named because it looks like a lion. Mount Shizi reaches 2,800 m (9,186 ft) in height and covers 1000 mu of land with 970 mu covered in forest as of 2016. In 2015, a public greenway path was laid out around Mount Shizi.[7] In 1957, Huazhong Agricultural University was built around Mount Shizi, the mountain from which the subdistrict takes its name.[8]
