Beifengshan Forest Park

　　    Beifengshan Forest Park is situated in the southeastern part of Taishan City, a hometown of overseas Chinese, amid the towering peaks of Gudou Mountain and lies next to the Gudou Mountain Provincial Nature Reserve. It is 12 kilometers from the city center and, together with Taicheng’s Shihua Mountain—one of Guangdong’s Top 100 Scenic Spots—and Beifengshan’s Shipibi Pool—one of the Eight Ancient Scenic Sites of Taishan—forms a distinctive green ecological tourism route in the Taishan area.

　　    The park covers a total operational area of 15,000 mu. It features steep mountain terrain, layered lush forests, streams, waterfalls, and numerous natural reticulated mountain spring swimming pools. According to preliminary surveys by forestry experts, the park is home to 986 species of vascular plants, including 14 types of rare and endangered plants under national protection such as wild lychee, wild tea trees, and Tetrathyrium subcordatum. There are also 22 species of rare and endangered animals under national protection, among which two—Chinese pythons and Cuora trifasciata—are classified as Class I protected animals. The abundant flora and fauna have led experts to praise the park as a biodiversity gene bank along the Tropic of Cancer and a rare oasis in the southernmost part of the Pearl River Delta. With its main peak, Ping Shen Peak, standing at an elevation of 922 meters and resembling Japan’s Mount Fuji in shape, it has also earned the nickname “Taishan’s Mount Fuji” from experts.

　　    Established in July 1993, Beifengshan Forest Park was approved by the former Guangdong Provincial Forestry Department as a provincial-level forest park. Since its founding, the park has leveraged its resource and locational advantages, oriented itself toward market demand, and developed independently through self-reliance and sustainable growth. It has gradually evolved into a comprehensive eco-friendly forest park offering a full range of facilities for dining, accommodation, entertainment, and shopping. Visitor numbers have increased year by year, with annual tourism revenue growing at over 30%, achieving significant social, economic, and ecological benefits. In 1998, it was designated as a Famous Scenic Spot of Taishan City by the Taishan Municipal People's Government, becoming a new attraction for Jiangmen residents exploring the Five Counties region and a fresh highlight in Taishan’s tourism offerings.

　　    The park features a resort center that includes amenities such as a swimming pool, karaoke and dance hall, beauty services, sauna, lakeside fishing, and barbecue. There are also fully equipped villas and a conference hall that can accommodate 120 people, offering everything needed for meetings and leisure.
