Shimantan National Forest Park, covering an area of 120 square kilometers, is located south from Wugang City, east of Mountain Funiu and west of the Huang-Huai Plain with convenient transportation.
The park is divided into 10 scenic spots including 4 traveling routes. It is designed with the Dragon Spring Lake as the center, with scenic spots Jiutouya and Tianche at two sides. The Forest Park is characterized by green hills, clear waters, fancy caves and gorgeous rocks.
Thanks to its moderate weather and abundant water resources, the Park enjoys a forest coverage of 90%, which makes it a picturesque landscape. Walking in the forest, you can see various kinds of vegetation, hear birds' singing, and smell the fragrance of flowers. As each scenic spot has different landscapes, you can have various choices: watch the gorgeous stones or tide, explore the thick forest or step into the large iron and steel factory and observe how iron and steel are made.
The natural summer resort, the Shimantan International Dragon-boat Race Base, the modern iron and steel city, the exciting spectacle of waterfall of the Shimantan Reservoir together with other natural and human landscapes and historical sites form a charming and spectacular painting of landscapes, which will make you feel in the dream and stay as longer as you can. |
