Jinfo Mountain is 18 kilometers away from Nanchuan City, 88
kilometers away from the main city of Chongqing, adjacent to Wulong
in the east and bordering Guizhou in the south. Due to the special
geographical location and climatic conditions, in ancient times, the
Quaternary glaciers were buffered, and the primitive ecology of
ancient and different geological ages was completely preserved, and
the karst landforms were obvious.
Climate characteristics
Jinfoshan is a typical karst geological landform. Due to its special
geographical location and climatic conditions, it has buffered the
Quaternary glaciers in ancient times. It maintains the original natural
ecology of ancient and different geological ages in a relatively
complete way. The mountains are magnificent and beautiful, and the
scenery is deep and charming. The peaks and valleys stretch over
dozens of large and small mountains, and there are more than 100

dams in the caves. There are holes in the caves.

early spring and summer, with the same rain and heat in the same
season and vertical changes in climate. Due to special climatic
conditions, sometimes the clouds go, the clouds are rolling, the waves
of the sea are rolling, and sometimes the weather is fine. Clouds, rain,

conditions of Jinfo Mountain create and multiply countless precious
creatures. It is a treasure trove of various species and rare and
concentrated. Due to the large difference in topography, plant
communities are distributed in vertical zones. Subtropical coniferous
forests, mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, deciduous broad
leaves and evergreen forests, virgin forests, flat bamboo forests,
shrubs and meadows all have special features. The ancient and rare
plants are regionally distributed, forming a rare landscape of ancient
and rare plant communities, with distinct layers. Under the tall arbor
forest, there are 100,000 mu of square bamboo forests and various
types of shrubs.

plants, 82 species of rare and endangered plants, and 52 species of

distribution area in the north, northeast, east, southeast and
southwest of Jinfo Mountain with Jinfo Mountain peak as the core.
There are about 1800 ginkgo natural resources (-2000 strains). More
than 94% of the individuals are in the stage of young wood and
mature wood; about 6% of adult wood individuals; 1 strain of dead
wood; it is a phenological age-comparable population. It has

mountain, and enjoy the realm of transcendentality.

10. Ancient cave painting wall
The ancient Buddha Cave is deeply hidden in the highest altitude of
Jinfo Mountain. It is a famous natural mountain cave in China, formed
350 million years ago. The ancient Buddha Cave is actually a huge
river channel of the ancient submerged river system. Its unique stone
wall landscape is the result of the water flow of the ancient
submerged river 30 million years ago. At the top of a few meters high
narrow hole, the traces of the submerged river flow are like a ridge
with a hole shape, which the locals call the “long ridge”.
As the tributary went deep into the depths of about 100 meters, the
huge main river of the ancient submerged river was in front of you. A
snorkeling area of about 30 meters high and about the size of a
standard football field made people feel like they were in a huge
palace. Among them, the towering stone walls clearly show the
undulating “water pattern” of the ancient Qianhe River in the ancient
times as the years passed. According to reports, the ancient Buddha
Cave is one of the main attractions of Jinfo Mountain. The hole is
divided into the upper, middle and lower floors. The middle layer of
the development is about 2 kilometers long. The natural painting wall
was discovered by the expedition team when it went deep into the
South Branch.
According to the preliminary examination of the expedition team, the
painting wall is more than 300 meters long and nearly 30 meters
high, with a total area of about 9,000 square meters. In the paintings,
there are mountains and rivers, famous mountains and rivers, birds
and beasts, big rivers, mountains and mountains, and human likes.
The picture is vivid and vivid. Zhu Shunzhi, the captain of the
Jinfoshan expedition expedition team and geologist, believes that the
painting wall is composed of black limestone from the Late Paleozoic
Permian (250 million years ago). The rock is relatively broken, and
the later white calcite is filled with black and white. A natural wall
with distinct, contrasting contrasts. He said that the “mural
paintings” in the ancient Buddha Cave of Jinfo Mountain are natural

11. and ingenious, and there are no traces of artificial carving, which is
rare in China.
It is reported that the Jinfoshan expedition expedition also found a
natural painting wall with a larger area and a more concentrated and
vivid pattern than the ancient Buddha Cave in the Lingguan Cave,
which is not far from the ancient Buddha Cave.
