Qixingkeng Primeval Forest

　　Qixingkeng is the source of the Jinjiang River in Enping City, bordering the eastern part of Yangchun City, located in the southwestern mountainous region of Enping, 35 kilometers from Encheng. With a total area of 6,800 square kilometers and a core zone of 800 hectares, Qixingkeng boasts uniquely advantageous natural conditions—lofty mountains, clear waters, and dense forests—making it rich in resources. It is home to 100,000 acres of untouched primeval forest with towering ancient trees, making it one of the best-preserved natural forests in the Pearl River Delta.

　　According to expert surveys, Qixingkeng is home to 635 plant species, including 9 classified as rare and endangered national or provincial protected plants. In addition, the area also hosts valuable medicinal herbs and nationally protected animal species. Experts have praised it as the “green gem” of Guangdong’s ecosystem, and it is now one of the key protected areas under strengthened conservation in Enping City.

　　Once developed, Qixingkeng Primeval Forest Park will stand out as a unique destination in Enping. Visitors to Qixingkeng can not only enjoy the pleasant climate of warmth in winter and coolness in summer but also take electric boats or speedboats to cruise along the waterways, much like a scenic tour of the Li River, admiring the surrounding landscapes. Entering the primeval forest is like stepping into a world of flora and fauna. Travelers can set up camps, keep watch, hike and explore during the day, fish at the reservoir in the evening, and enjoy barbecues and outdoor cooking—an experience full of endless joy and unforgettable memories.

　　Qixingkeng offers a variety of wild fruits that can be picked throughout the year. In addition, the area is abundant in mountain delicacies such as stone frogs, stream snails, softshell turtles, and mountain snakes, available for visitors to taste and purchase freely.
