A primeval forest ecological scenic area in western Yongchun, with many ancient trees, streams, and waterfalls. It stays cool in summer and is known as the “Xishuangbanna of southern Fujian.”

The forest holds many rare ancient trees, climbing plants, streams, and waterfalls, earning it the nickname “Xishuangbanna of southern Fujian.” The scenic area has ecological trails, suspension bridges, and viewing platforms.
