Tiger Claw Mountain

　　　　Hubei Province’s Jingshan County’s Tiger Claw Mountain Forest Park originated from the Tiger Claw Mountain Forest Farm, which was built in 1965. In November 1994, the provincial-level Tiger Claw Mountain Forest Park officially opened. In recent years, the park has invested over 8 million yuan to develop 16 scenic spots across three major areas—Tiger Claw Mountain, Zhujia Chong, and Liyu (section incomplete)—as well as to build supporting facilities for cultural entertainment, hotels, dining, water, electricity, roads, and postal services. Located on the northern edge of the Jianghan Plain and adjacent to Provincial Highway Zao-Dang, the park serves as an outer area of the national-level Dabie Mountain Scenic Area. It lies 28 kilometers east of the county seat and 178 kilometers from Wuhan. The park boasts abundant tourism resources: its vast forests, serene mountains, expansive waters, and rich historical and cultural heritage are widely renowned. Highlights include its sea of pine trees, thousands of acres of fir and bamboo, ten miles of ginkgo trees, five hillsides of oak forests, and three mountains covered in red foliage. The landscape transforms through the seasons—spring blossoms, summer shade, autumn leaves, and winter branches offer ever-changing views at dawn and dusk. Stunning features such as waterfalls, unique rocks, peculiar caves, and flowing springs further enrich its charm with a mystical allure. As a result, Tiger Claw Mountain Forest Park is hailed as the “Little Lushan Mountain of Hubei” and a natural oxygen bar. The lingering snow patches on Tiger Claw Mountain, listed among the ancient eight scenic spots of Jingshan, often remain until early summer, keeping the summer climate cool and distinctive. It is an ideal destination for vacationing, leisure, and escaping the heat, offering convenient, safe, and comfortable premium services for group conferences, inspection tours, sightseeing, and recreational activities.
