Ya'an Azalea Mountain
Introduction to Ya'an Azalea Mountain The Azalea Mountain Primitive Forest Park (Paocao Bay) in Yingjing County is 30 kilometers from the county town, covering 9,628 hectares of pristine forest. Here, winters are not harsh and summers are not scorching, with an average annual temperature of 13°C. It is the best-preserved and most species-rich subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest belt in our province. "When the dove tree flowers bloom and doves take flight, when azaleas paint the mountains red in spring, when pandas play among the bamboos and golden pheasants sing, it’s the perfect place for leisure and vacation." The scenic area is characterized by its pristine forest, entirely covered by towering, oddly shaped trees and branches. There are nearly a hundred streams and ravines of various sizes, forming hundreds of natural pools, ponds, and waterfalls. The area enjoys distinct seasons, each more stunning than the last. In spring, red, yellow, purple, and white azaleas blanket the mountains, set off by the fresh green of new leaves, showcasing the vitality of nature. In summer, lush trees provide dense shade, creating a cool and refreshing retreat. In autumn, patches of red maples emerge amid the greenery, like beacons that stir the heart. In winter, snow drapes the forest like a white veil, turning the trees into crystal-clear jewels and transforming the area into a fairyland that captivates and enchants all who visit.
