Fairy Cave Natural Scenic Area

　　The Fairy Cave Natural Scenic Area is located in Shen Town in the northern part of Gaozhou City, situated in the heart of the Yunkai Mountain Range. With its highest elevation at 1,380 meters, it enjoys a warm winter and cool summer, and is widely known as an “air-conditioned village.” The area boasts well-preserved natural ecology and a high concentration of negative ions (approximately 100,000 per cm³), making it a natural oxygen bar.

　　The Fairy Cave Natural Scenic Tourism Area is a concentrated zone of forest waterfalls. In addition to vast azalea forests, thousands of acres of bamboo groves, pristine forests, and natural waterfall clusters, the area is also home to the rare plant known as the "bird’s nest flower" (Mucuna birdwoodiana). The azalea forests here are all wild, and when in bloom, the mountains are covered in vibrant red, creating a spectacular sight. The thousands of acres of bamboo groves form a sea of green, rustling gently in the breeze.

　　The natural waterfall clusters are not only dense but some have drops of over 200 meters. The rushing waterfalls, combined with the surrounding peculiar trees, unique rocks, and vast sea of clouds, create a breathtaking scene. The mountain is also home to the rare bird’s nest flower, which is only recorded in Conghua and Xinhui within the province. The flower resembles a tiny bird, blooming on vines and hanging in cascading strands, as if thousands of birds were perched on the branches—an amazing sight both in form and spirit. Moreover, with an altitude of over 1,300 meters, the area enjoys a pleasant climate. Even in the height of summer, temperatures remain around 25°C, making it an ideal summer retreat. Additionally, the area is covered with pristine forests and boasts fresh air, offering a chance to cleanse the mind and escape the hustle and bustle of city life—making it a great destination for forest bathing and pursuing health.
