The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Every time this season, I always look for a cool place to hide for a few days to escape the summer heat. Of course, when choosing a destination, in addition to the weather and temperature, the scenery should also be beautiful enough, with mountains, water and beautiful scenery, and the joy of mountains and rivers is also included. I remember that I often visited the beautiful landscapes in the Jiangnan area last year. I decided to change the place this year. After all, the pleasure brought by different scenery is also different.
Speaking of Yangmingshan National Forest Park , the first thing that many people think of is that it may be Yangmingshan National Forest Park located in Yongzhou City, Hunan. In fact, it is not the case. There is also an Yangmingshan National Forest Park in Jiangxi, located in Hengshui Town, Ganzhou Chongyi County. It is not very far from Dayu County . It is about an hour's drive, and I came here from Dayu County.
Yangmingshan National Forest Park is a national 4A-level tourist attraction, close to Chongyi County, only 3 kilometers, a 7-minute drive away, so there is also a title here: it is currently the closest national forest park to the county town in China. After visiting so many national forest parks, it is indeed not as close to this city. Yangming Mountain, the main peak is more than 1,250 meters above sea level. According to historical records, the famous military strategist of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming , once suppressed bandits here and established a county system. In order to commemorate Wang Yangming, it was named Yangming Mountain.
Yangmingshan National Forest Park covers an area of very large, nearly 70 square kilometers. The park maintains a large-scale subtropical original forest landscape. It is famous for the "six wonders" of streams, strange stones, azaleas, bamboo sea, rainforests, and cloud seas. In the Yangmingshan Mountain, you can see gurgling streams, towering ancient trees, and strange stones and peaks everywhere, making it a good place to escape the summer heat.
Thanks to the good vegetation environment, the average content of air negative ion here is 96,000/cm³. The location of a Lanxi waterfall in the park has reached 190,000/cm³. The air is very fresh. Therefore, it has been awarded the honor of "a scenic tourist area with the highest air negative ion concentration value" and has the reputation of "natural oxygen bar" and "Green Treasure House of Jiangnan".
With its beautiful natural scenery and fresh air, this place has become a place for local citizens to cool off on weekends. After all, the distance is very close. The mountain trail is very distinctive. The fences on the side are designed based on the appearance of vines in the forest. Some are directly taken from bamboo on the mountain, which is more harmoniously matched with the surrounding environment, and are all based on Yangming Mountain's characteristic landscape plants. Walking on the mountain path, listening to the gurgling stream, birds singing and insects singing, and breathing the fresh and cool air, I relaxed and felt very comfortable.
It is reported that the vegetation coverage rate in Yangmingshan National Forest Park is as high as 96.8%. Most of these vegetation is subtropical plant , which has the reputation of the "subtropical animal and plant gene bank". In addition to the normal evergreen broad-leaved forest , bamboo forests, and bushes, there are many national protected plants here, such as bald fir , ginkgo, etc.
On the way up the mountain, you can encounter many pavilions and stone bridges for tourists to rest. If you are tired of walking, you might as well sit down and rest for a while and experience the beautiful scenery in front of you. Although they were all built later, they did not destroy the scenery here at all, but added a sense of artistic conception. Many people often stay for a while after encountering pavilions or stone bridges, or take photos or take a nap.
There are many waterfalls distributed in the mountains, the water flows all year round and is very clear. When the weather is hot in July and August, sitting by the stream playing in the water is not a fun thing. I wonder, have you ever heard of this national forest park?
