The Forest Park was established by the state council in 1982 as the 1st national forest park of China. The park is known for it’s unique landscape
with lush forests dominated by quartzite sandstone pillars. Bubbling brooks and charming lakes wind around the area and connect giant caves.
On the way up you will pass by the monkey, the deer, the silver pheasant, the love-bird. At every turn the ancient pines will stare, leaning like the
crotchety old men they are in their ancient soil. In spring you will smell the Goddess Flower camellia, the orchid, the Chinese Azelea.
