Mountain Lacebark Pine

Being the boundary of the Yunyang River and the Xianshen River, Mountain Lacebark Pine has nine peaks surrounded by clouds and mist with 1,020 meters above the sea level. It is 11.5 kilometers long, of which 2.5 km has been developed for tourism. Mountain Lacebark Pine is a national protected area because of the rare plants—the lacebark pines growing on it. Moreover, it has 1,191 kinds of plants, of which 330 kinds are rare ones and Chinese herbs.

The mountain is regarded as one of the unique mountains in China for five reasons. First of all, it gains its fame from the grand and steep peaks and rich resources of plants, which is due to its special geological structure. Secondly, it is also famous for its rare lacebark pines, similar to those growing on Mountain Changbai in Northeast China but different in shape actually. Thirdly, the rocks on it are a fascinating attraction. The great piles of big rocks which look like a “natural Great Wall” seem to have been carried there, but they are in fact piled up by the Mountain Movement. Fourthly, the paths here are also unique. It is said that there were no paths in the past and the only way was the rocky stones along the mountain with high cliffs and immeasurably deep valleys on both sides. Nobody could walk on it except flying bird or some animals. It was not until the mountain was open to the outside world as a tourist attraction that the paths and railings were built for safety. Finally, the sceneries here are peculiarly wonderful, impressing you deeply with steepness and magnificence. It is a breathtaking experience to go sightseeing on such a high mountain but meanwhile you also feel excited about such marvelous views. Being a combination of adventure and attraction, the place has attracted many tourists, who feel it unforgettable and amazing to visit the place. If it is a great pity to miss the Shennong Altar Sight when touring Mountain Taihang, it will be even more regrettable to miss Mountain Lacebark Pine when traveling to the Shennong Altar. Therefore, it is more advisable to visit the place in person than learn about it only through second-hand experience
