Going deep into Baishanzu National Park is like walking into a real scene of Chinese landscape paintings, and everyone is conquered by this beautiful natural beauty. Here the peaks are towering, the mountains are stacked, the first peak of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Huangmaojian, 1929 meters above sea level, located in the Fengyang Mountain area, the second peak Of Baishanzu, with an altitude of 1856.7 meters, is located in the Baishanzu area.
There are 1,390 peaks above 1,000 meters above sea level and 50 peaks above 1,600 meters above sea level. Baishanzu National Park spans four climatic types in vertical space, including central subtropical, northern subtropical, warm temperate zone and middle temperate zone, forming the characteristics of "four distinct seasons, warm winter and early spring, abundant precipitation, rain and heat synchronization", and preserving a large area of central subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest apex communities.
According to the data, Baishanzu National Park is rich in plant resources, and 2102 species of wild vascular plants have been recorded, including 1829 seed plants and 273 ferns. There are 31 species of wild plants under national key protection, such as Baishanzu fir, southern yew, yew, bell calyx, ginkgo biloba and lettuce, 90 rare and endangered plants listed on the Red List of Chinese species, and 70% of the vascular plant species in the ecological geography of the evergreen broad-leaved forest in the coastal mountains of central subtropical Zhejiang and Fujian can be found here.
From Baishanzu Town, drive to the management station at an altitude of about 1500 meters, then hike up the mountain, along the winding mountain road, with a clear stream twisting up, a few tens of meters from the top of the mountain, you can see the Baishanzu fir hidden in the depths of the dense forest. It's not so good that it's hard to find out how it differs from the common pine trees around it. At present, there are only 3 mother trees left in Baishanzu fir, which grow in the bright-leaved water green gang forest above 1700 meters on the southwest side of the main peak of Baishanzu, which is a rare and endangered plant unique to Baishanzu National Park and a national key protected wild plant. Listed by the International Commission for species conservation (SSC) in 1987 as one of the twelve most endangered plant species in the world.
The relevant person in charge of the Qingyuan County Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports Bureau told the Qianbao reporter that this "plant living fossil" of the same era as the Cretaceous dinosaurs is the only fir plant in southeast China, which belongs to the evergreen tree of the Pine family, with a maximum plant of 17 meters and a chest diameter of 80 cm; fir female plant, flowering in May, 11 moon fruits ripen, is a unique ancient remnant plant in China, which is of great significance for the study of flora and climate change.
According to reports, in 1963, Wu Mingxiang, a forestry worker in Qingyuan County, and others found fir species that were not quite the same as ordinary fir in the dense forest, and in 1976, it was identified as a new species and officially named Baishanzu fir. This is a unique Chinese ancient relict plant, the breeding ability is extremely poor, after years of observation and record, the average 5-6 years to flower and bear fruit, the natural germination rate of seeds is very low, only in 1992 and 2012 two artificial breeding successful native tree seedlings. Baishanzu fir is so endangered not only because the population is too small, but more importantly, its long interval between gathering nutrients to flower and bear fruit, and the formation of ecological differences between individuals, natural sexual reproduction is very difficult, and the success rate of conventional artificial asexual reproduction is extremely low.
Since the establishment of the Fengyang Mountain-Baishanzu National Nature Reserve, forestry workers have carried out rescue protection of baishanzu fir, and gratifying progress has been made, the native community has gradually recovered, and in 2018, a batch of seedlings naturally germinated around the mother tree, with a total of more than 130 preliminary marker statistics, which is the highest survival rate of seedlings through natural germination in recent years. Due to the extremely slow growth of Baishanzu fir, these seedlings are still a long time before maturity and many uncertainties, and Baishanzu fir will still be in a critical state for a long time.
According to the staff of the Scenic Area Management Office, the successful cultivation of wild seedlings of Baishanzu fir this time is conducive to further understanding the biological and ecological characteristics of Baishanzu fir, and also creates conditions for expanding the natural population of Baishanzu fir, laying the foundation for gradually getting rid of the critically endangered status of Baishanzu fir. Next, the management office will strengthen the monitoring and protection of these seedlings, and take measures such as artificial soil cultivation to artificially promote the natural regeneration of Baishanzu fir.
Recommended tour around: Shilong Mountain, Towel Peak, Longyan Village, etc
The main peak of Shilong Mountain is only 597 meters above sea level, located in the corner of Qingyuan County, and the climbing trails are mostly flat stone ladders, and the altitude is not high and there is no thrilling and twisting mountain road, which is the best choice for the elderly and children to climb and exercise. The green bamboo forest in the middle of Shilong Mountain exudes the aroma of bamboo leaves, and the sunlight mottles the stone ladder through the branches and leaves, as if people feel that they have fallen into the world of immortals, fantasizing that they have become a generation of chivalrous guests and go to the end of the world with swords.
Inside Shilong mountain, there is the Shilongshan Martyrs Cemetery, recording the predecessors who dedicated themselves to the city's revolution, which is the patriotic education base of Lishui City and the key cultural relics protection unit of Qingyuan County. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the spring mood spreads all the way, so that the spring of the small city Qingyuan has more layers and charm.

Towel Peak, the land of Qingyuan Green Valley, forest coverage rate of up to 98%, negative oxygen ion content of more than 8,000 / cm3, sitting on 10,000 acres of secondary forest. The "Qiangang Gorge", one of the ten major canyons in Lishui, the "Towel Xiangyun", "Baizhang Longhu" and "Chashui Chunlan" in the ancient "Eight Views of Maozhou" are all distributed in the park, and the Qiangang Gorge is even more beautiful and beautiful. There are also forest bathing trails, sacred turtle blessings, touyun Valley, Dragon's Beard Waterfall, Lady's Waterfall and other attractions, the park has no severe cold in winter, no heat in summer, and is an excellent forest bathing area.
Strolling on the scarf peak, climbing high and looking far away, feeling the vitality of The Spring Day of Qingyuan, facing the morning sun, following the warm wind, crossing the ridge, surrounded by birdsong, surrounded by greenery.

Longyan Village is a cultural ancient village that records the history of qingyuan mushrooms, and is the hometown of "Wu Sangong", the originator of shiitake mushroom cultivation, the village has a history of 1,000 years, and villagers have cultivated shiitake mushrooms for generations. As the hometown of Wu Sangong, Longyan Village has preserved many events and relics related to Wu Sangong, including Wu Sangong Ancestral Hall, Wu Sangong Former Residence, Wu Sangong Cemetery, etc. Shiitake mushroom culture is reflected throughout Longyan Village. The surviving "Genealogy of the Wu Clan" in Longyan Village also records the deeds of Wu Sangong. Every 17th day of the 3rd lunar month (wu sangong's birthday) and the 13th day of the 8th lunar month (the death day of wu sangong), longyan villagers will light candles and offer incense in front of wu sangong's shrine, forming a unique mushroom culture in Longyan village.
The industrious and simple Qingyuan mountain people live here, cooking smoke and wafting out the aroma of food, as if walking in their hometown.
Not far from Longyan Village is one of the many famous attractions in the Baishan Ancestral Scenic Area, "Three Wells Creek", Which has Three Wells, known locally as Longjing, and the Three Wells are Shanglongjing, Zhonglongjing and Xialongjing.
One theory is that Longjing, or ice mortar, is a Quaternary glacial remnant that dates back 2 to 3 million years. The scenery of Mitsui Creek is in the water, and there is a walking trail along the creek, which runs parallel to the clear water channel. The clarity of water, the rhythm of water, only those who come here will know how shocking it really is.
