Tongle Dashan Primitive Ecological Scenic Area

　　   Tongle Dashan Primitive Ecological Scenic Area is situated at the junction of Yun’an County in Yunfu City, Guangdong Province, and Cangwu County in Guangxi. It is one of the few remaining secondary broad-leaved forests near the Tropic of Cancer, often referred to as the “Oasis on the Tropic of Cancer,” and is a provincial-level nature reserve.

　　   The scenic area boasts exceptionally rich flora and fauna. The forest is predominantly broad-leaved, with over 200 species of subtropical evergreen broad-leaved trees and shrubs, including 42 species from 20 families that are considered precious or high-quality timber. The valleys are also home to a wealth of shade-loving plants and wildflowers. With lush forests, overlapping peaks, and ancient towering trees surrounded by mountains, the area features steep terrain and abundant rainfall, resulting in a rich network of streams and rivers. There are cascading waterfalls, high mountain streams, deep pools, and shallow shoals, all accompanied by the gentle sound of flowing water, birdsong, fragrant flowers, and twisting vines. The area has a high concentration of negative ions, earning it the reputation of a natural oxygen bar. The scenic area is home to 260 animal species, including 32 that are under national key protection, such as pangolins, wild civets, owls, pythons, and white-shouldered sea eagles.

　　   The scenic area also features rich cultural landscapes, including the former residence of Li Jishen, former Vice Chairman of the Central People’s Government, which lies at the foot of the Tongle Dashan mountain range.

　　   With its beautiful scenery and abundant natural and cultural attractions, Tongle Dashan Primitive Ecological Scenic Area is an ideal destination for leisure, spring outings, and outdoor adventure.
