Dawukou Forest Park

Dawukou Forest Park
   Nestled against the Helan Mountains and encircling the urban area of Dawukou, the park spans an area of 10,000 mu, with a recent planned construction area of 300 hectares and long-term plans for approximately 666.7 hectares. Once a barren Gobi desert where "the wind blew stones and not a tree or blade of grass could be seen," the resilient people of Shizuishan have, through their hard work and ingenuity, gradually transformed the wasteland into a scenic tourist area that integrates leisure parks, entertainment, sports, and cultural activities. The park now features memorial forests for notable figures, Sino-Japanese Friendship Forest, Youth Volunteer Forest, and windbreak forests. A total of 332,000 trees of 120 different species have been planted. Facilities such as a shooting range, go-kart track, nature return zone, subtropical plant pavilion, and viewing platform have also been established. The park is structured around a network of roads, irrigation channels, and tree-lined zones, divided into different scenic areas including a leisure and entertainment zone and a subtropical plant pavilion.
