There is a place where The Forest Sea is reckless; there is a place where pythons are infested; there is a place where you can experience the southern scenery of "mountain wonder, water show, forest you, and stone monster". This place is the Mangshan National Forest Park in the middle of the Nanling Mountains at the junction of Xiang and Guangdong.
The north and south ends of the forest park are high and the middle is low. In the southwest direction, limestone is widely spread, karst is fully developed, there are many caves and undercurrents; in the northwest direction, quartz sandstone is dense, more is a small piece of peak; east and west are low hills, many streams, vertical height of mountains, steep mountains, thousands of meters of peaks there are 126, the main peak is up to 1902 meters above sea level of the pit stone, known as "the first peak in Tiannan".
There is no doubt that Mangshan National Forest Park is a very large forest park, which is mainly divided into four scenic spots - Monkey King Zhai Scenic Area, General Zhai Scenic Area, Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area and Xiangyue Peak Scenic Area, covering a total area of 20,000 hectares, with a forest coverage rate of up to 92.8%, and still retains 6,000 hectares of primary forest, making it the largest forest park in hunan province.
Because it is located near the Tropic of Cancer, the climatic conditions here are also superior, and there is a rich variety of flora and fauna. The park is not only rich in ancient plants, but also has 21 species of nationally important wild plants. Of course, there are also many wild animals under national key protection, with 33 species.
