Wulongchi Forest Park

　　Wulongchi Forest Park is situated in the Yanjingou Tourism Development Zone of Wanzhou District, Chongqing, about 40 kilometers from the main urban area of Wanzhou and 10 kilometers from the Yangtze River. It is a mountainous natural scenic area.

　　Covering an area of 3.5 square kilometers with an elevation of 1,123 meters, Wulongchi Forest Park forms the "0-Line" golden tourism route together with Xintian Reservoir and Yanjing Cave. The park features abrupt peaks, rugged rocks, and steep mountain terrain. Its eastern and southeastern edges are lined with cliffs and bizarrely shaped stones. The Crocodile Rock is strikingly lifelike, while the "Dragon-Suppressing Stone" in the center of Wulongchi resembles Mount Tai pressing down, firmly subduing the evil dragon. Other naturally formed attractions such as "RenTou Zhai" (Human Head Fortress), "Wulongjian" (Black Dragon Valley), and "Eight Immortals Table" are both magical and beautiful.

　　The forest coverage rate within the park reaches 95%. The woods are home to 278 species of plants, including conifers like Masson pine and Chinese fir, as well as broadleaf trees such as nanmu, maple, and elm, each with unique biological forms. The largest ancient chestnut tree has a diameter at breast height of over 60 centimeters, and the largest maple tree boasts lush foliage that creates a magnificent canopy. The park also hosts 30 species of animals, including deer and pheasants. Strolling along the forest trails, visitors may frequently spot startled golden pheasants and other birds taking flight, as well as bounding deer, rabbits, wildcats, and nimble squirrels among other rare wildlife.

　　Within the forest lies the Taiping Lake scenic area, where the Bamao Trough reservoir shimmers with rippling waters and picturesque reflections. From the observation deck atop Bajiao Zhai (Octagonal Fortress), one can gaze across the Yangtze River, which resembles a surging dragon. In the distance, "Lotus Pond," "Horse-Rearing Pond," and "Jianshanzi" are surrounded by continuous green mountains, with rosy clouds drifting by. Looking down, the Xintian Reservoir at the foot of the mountain presents a captivating landscape of lake and mountain scenery. Climbing to higher ground offers a sweeping view of drifting clouds and rosy clouds, vast forests, rural cottages with cooking smoke, and the mighty Yangtze River.
