Emerald Mountain Bamboo Sea

Emerald Mountain Bamboo Sea

Emerald Mountain is located in Shangling Town, 30 kilometers from the county seat. The area features undulating peaks and overlapping ridges, and is named for the evergreen trees and bamboo on the mountain. Spanning over 30 square kilometers, the vast expanse of contiguous bamboo forests presents a unique landscape, resembling a green ocean. The revolutionary martyr Fang Zhimin once praised the bamboo with the famous line: “Snow weighs down the bamboo tops, bending low as if to touch the mud; but when the red sun rises, they stand tall once more.” A trip to this place will offer you a refreshing experience in nature and great enrichment.

Gaze upon the vast bamboo sea, where green waves ripple as far as the eye can see, a truly delightful sight; stroll along the winding paths through the bamboo forest, where the subtle fragrance of orchids fills the air, and bathe in nature’s “oxygen bar,” feeling relaxed from head to toe as fatigue melts away; listen to the breeze playing with the bamboo, its sound shifting from near to far, faint yet ethereal—a heavenly melody that washes away troubling memories. This is the Emerald Mountain Bamboo Sea, a perfect leisure destination. It is just a few kilometers west of the Emerald Mountain exit on the Guangdong–Jiangxi Expressway.
