If you think that all mountains in Guangxi are like those strange pinnacles found in Guilin, you are wrong. The province is also home to many lofty magnificent mountains.
Opening up a map of Guangxi, you will see many towering mountains at elevations over 1,000 meters above sea level and some even exceeding 2,000 meters in northern, central and southern Guangxi. The rolling mountains are all covered with dense primeval forests, brimming with rare plants, precious animals and vigorous waterfalls and streams. The region has retained its original natural features while at the same time gone through a period of development.
The rich natural resources of the forests and mountains have been developed into 11 state-grade and eight province-grade forest parks, including Bajiaozhai, Longsheng Hot Springs, Dayao Mountain Range at Jinxiu, Yuanbao Mountains at Rongshui, Gupo Mountain at Hezhou, Shiwan Mountain at Shangsi, Liangfeng River at Nanning, and the State Forest Park at Guilin. There are also some natural reserves like Longhu Mountain at Long’an, Daming Mountain at Wuming, Miao’er Mountain at Xing’an and Huaping at Longsheng. |
