Chishui Bamboo Sea National Forest Park
竹海国家森林公园
Tens of thousands of mu of moso bamboo rolling across Hushi Town. Climb a viewpoint to watch the bamboo waves, and listen to the wind in the bamboo. It is cool in summer and Chishui's most representative bamboo forest.
Chishui Bamboo Sea National Forest Park is in Hushi Town, Chishui City, about 40 km from the city center. Chishui is known as China's Hometown of Bamboo, and this park holds tens of thousands of mu of continuous moso bamboo forest. From the observation deck, you can see the bamboo waves swaying in the wind as far as the eye can see. The park has bamboo trails, waterfalls, streams and Danxia cliffs. In summer, the forest is several degrees cooler than the city, making it a popular place to escape the heat. Visitors can also try bamboo shoots, bamboo fungus and bamboo tube rice at nearby farmhouses, a bamboo feast. A visit takes about 2 to 3 hours. Admission follows the scenic area's announcements. The mountain roads have many bends, so drive carefully, and there are many mosquitoes in the forest.
