Xinkailing Forest Park

　　Xinkailing is situated southwest of Dunhua, approximately 47 kilometers from the city. It is the southern part of Weihu Ridge and forms part of the Zhangguangcai Mountain Range. During the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican era, a new road was constructed on the mountain, hence the name "Xinkailing" (New Opened Ridge). Additionally, as the ridge lies to the west of Dunhua City, it is also known by the alias "Xiling" (Western Ridge).

　　The total forest reserve of Xinkailing Forest Farm spans 19,000 hectares, with the Sanguiliu Scenic Area accounting for 11,000 hectares. Currently, there are still 2,000 hectares of untouched primeval forest (reportedly only entered by the Japanese during their invasion of China), making it one of the largest forest farms in Dunhua with substantial reserves. Normal logging operations are carried out every winter and spring, contributing a quarter of Dunhua’s total timber harvest. The Xinkailing forest area features a wide variety of tree species, high-quality timber, rich biodiversity, and abundant economic flora and fauna with high yields. For example, in just one night, 18,000 yuan worth of forest frogs were sold from an 84-kilometer valley.
