Mount Mogan (Moganshan) is a wooded mountain area in northern Zhejiang Province, China, known as a summer retreat and scenic area; summit elevations are around 800 metres.

The site is noted for large stands of bamboo, temperate forest, and early 20th-century villas that made it a popular cool-season escape for residents of nearby cities. Visitors use established trails, paved scenic roads, and forested paths to reach viewpoints and historic villa districts.

The area developed as a leisure destination in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when foreign residents and domestic elites built summer houses on the mountain slopes.

Geographically it lies in northern Zhejiang, within the greater Huzhou/Deqing area, forming part of the uplands north of Hangzhou and within reach of the Yangtze Delta urban region.

• Elevation and vegetation: Summit elevations are around 800 metres and the area is known for extensive bamboo forest and cooler summer temperatures compared with nearby lowlands.
