Longtan National Forest Park
龙潭国家森林公园
One of the best-preserved primeval seasonal rainforests in southeastern Guangxi, with gorges, waterfalls, ancient trees and wild macaques as hiking highlights.
Longtan National Forest Park lies in the Daping mountains about 20 km northwest of Guiping city. Its forest cover is very high, with large areas of primeval subtropical seasonal rainforest. The park has multi-tiered waterfalls, deep pools, cliff trails and ancient trees more than a thousand years old. Wild macaques are often seen, and there is a summer rafting activity. The park has also served as a filming location for several TV dramas. Admission is about 60 yuan. The main hiking route takes about 3 hours, and the mountain paths have considerable ups and downs, so wear sports shoes and bring mosquito repellent. The park can only be reached by car or chartered vehicle.
