Description

The Wugongshan National Geological Park is located in the area of the range.
These mountains, mostly composed by granite, limestone, and gneiss, were isolated islands in many millions years ago when the south of China was a vast ocean. However, tectonic collision had induced regional uplift, making the ancient ocean disappeared. These mountains are covered by fertile soil, together with abundant rainfall and moderated temperature, rendering this region full of vegetations and forests. Because the elevation of the some mountains rises more than 1,500 meters high, vertical vegetation distribution is very clear: subtropical forest forest at the piedmont and until the middle of the mountain covered by taiga forest regions, and 10,000 hectares of grass above 1,600 meters high. That makes them a unique resort in the southeast China.
The resort includes:
The Golden Summit Scenic Area
