Guangwu Mountain

　　　Guangwu Mountain is situated in the northern part of Nanjiang County, Bazhong City, Sichuan Province, approximately 70 kilometers from the county town and 70 kilometers from Hanzhong City in Shaanxi Province. Its main peak rises to an altitude of 2,500 meters. Covering an area of over 400 square kilometers, the scenic zone boasts a majestic and expansive landscape, with complex terrain featuring undulating peaks, beautiful peak forests, deep caves, abundant mountain springs, rolling seas of clouds, and vast forests. It is home to the largest number of rare and ancient plants and animals among China’s famous mountains. In 1993, it was designated as a key provincial scenic spot by the Sichuan Provincial Government. In January 2004, it was approved by the State Council as a National Key Scenic Area. In 2009, it was honored as a National AAAA-level Tourist Attraction.

　　　　Guangwu Mountain is a magical and picturesque natural landscape. It is represented by its stunning and unique peaks, highlighted by lush and dense forest vegetation, and encompasses a collection of beautiful peaks, peculiar rocks, steep cliffs, serene valleys, streams, waterfalls, pools, pristine woodlands, deep gorges, and a sea of forests—summarized by the five wonders: “extraordinary peaks,” “peculiar stones,” “secluded valleys,” “graceful waters,” and “verdant mountains.” The Guangwu Mountain Scenic Area includes five major zones: Taoyuan, Daba, Dajiangkou, Shentou, and Xiaowuxia, featuring over 360 major attractions. The scenery here is breathtaking, constantly changing as you move through it—towering peaks, crisscrossing ravines, serene valleys, cascading waterfalls, towering ancient trees, and vast expanses of red leaves. The renowned poet Gao Ping once praised: “Visit Jiuzhaigou for the water, come to Guangwu for the mountains. A trip to Sichuan isn’t complete without seeing both.”
