Niutian Ancient Camphor Forest
牛田古樟林
Thousand-year-old camphor trees stretching more than ten li (about 5 km) along both banks of the Wu River; over ten thousand ancient trees earn it the title 'China's largest ancient camphor forest'.
The Niutian Ancient Camphor Forest extends downstream from Liukeng village along both banks of the Wu River for more than ten li (about 5 km), covering over 1,100 mu. It contains more than ten thousand ancient camphor trees, and about a third of them are nationally protected ancient trees over 500 years old. It has been recognised by the Shanghai Great World Guinness record as the 'largest ancient camphor forest'. Trails and cycling paths run beneath the trees, and you can take a bamboo raft down the Wu River to see the camphor forests and Liukeng village along the banks. Entry is free or costs a small fee. It is reachable on foot from Liukeng village and is ideal for a stroll early in the morning or in the evening.
