Ganzhou River Source Nature Reserve

　　The beautiful Ganzhou River Source Nature Reserve, located about 40 kilometers from the county town, resembles a dazzling piece of jade inlaid in the southeastern part of Shicheng. The reserve boasts towering ancient trees, rolling hills, thousands of peaks competing in beauty, and valleys filled with swaying greenery. Endless waves of lush forests stretch as far as the eye can see, and the clustered distribution of beech tree communities is particularly rare in China.

　　Known as the “Water Tower of Jiangxi,” the Ganzhou River Source is the headwaters of the thousand-li-long Ganzhou River. Its beauty lies not only in being a kingdom of plants and a paradise for animals, but also in being a tourist destination rich in both natural and cultural landscapes.

Historical and cultural sites complement the scenery, and especially the pure, fresh air will make you forget yourself, lingering spellbound between the emerald waters and verdant mountains…
