Yuanbao Mountain National Forest Park

　　   Yuanbao Mountain is situated in northern Guangxi, in the central part of Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, Liuzhou City, bordering 12 administrative villages across 5 townships within the county. The mountain is vast and stretches continuously, covered with dense primeval forests. With an elevation of 2,086 meters, it is the third highest peak in South China. Yuanbao Mountain features three main peaks: Lanping Peak, Yuanbao Peak, and Nameless Peak. It is named Yuanbao (meaning "gold ingot") because of its resemblance to a golden ingot. It is a national forest park and a national nature reserve, located 220 kilometers from Guilin, 160 kilometers from Liuzhou, and 60 kilometers from Rongshui County.
