Jiulong Mountain Nature Reserve in Suichang

　　   There are nearly 10,000 mu of pristine natural forests at altitudes above 1,000 meters, featuring the typical characteristics of mid-subtropical broadleaf forest vegetation.

　　   The reserve is home to over 1,340 plant species from 637 genera and 173 families, including 18 species under national key protection. It also hosts 149 species of vertebrates, such as macaques, leopards, clouded leopards, golden cats, giant salamanders, and hynobiid toads—more than ten rare animal species in total—earning it the reputation of a “biological gene bank.”

　　   Within the reserve, there is a spectacular ten-mile-long corridor of Rhododendron simiarum, a rare sight in China, along with the mysterious “wild man mystery.” Established as a nature reserve in 1983, it features attractions such as Sizhoulan, Caixiangyan, Longjing, Eighteen Arhats, Fanzhengtan, Eight Immortals Fishing Platform, Dayan, and Shimen.
