Leigutai Forest Park

　　   The Leigutai Scenic Area overlooks the Yuehe River valley to the north and faces the Hanjiang River valley to the south. It features both rugged gorges and high-altitude terraces, with steep cliffs and diverse mountain streams. Above the mid-mountain level, the area is covered with dense forests, with trees stretching into the sky, waterfalls splashing, and clouds shrouding the peaks. After rain clears, the lush mountaintops are often surrounded by white clouds, and on rare occasions, the “Golden Summit Buddha’s Light” phenomenon can be seen. During heavy rain, thick fog envelops the landscape, making the mountains and trees appear dreamlike, as if stepping into a fairyland. In winter, strong winds howl, pine waves roar, and breath turns to ice; in summer, springs trickle, cool breezes blow, birds sing, and flowers bloom. An ancient poet once praised: “Green hills are paintings without ink for a thousand years; clear waters are zithers without strings for eternity.”

　　   The main peak of the Leigutai Scenic Area stands at an elevation of 1,866 meters, with 28 peaks and mountain strongholds above 1,000 meters. At the summit lies the Zhenwu Upper Hall, with the Lower Hall halfway up the mountain, featuring the inscription “First Peak South of the Pass.” Below, stone pillars stand in rows and ancient trees thrive. From the top, one looks down upon towering cliffs that dazzle the eyes, surrounded by countless mountains, with the Hanjiang River resembling a silk ribbon.
