Yuanbao Mountain National Forest Park
元宝山国家森林公园
Liuzhou's highest peak and Guangxi's third-highest mountain, known for its primeval forest, strange rock formations and sunrise above the clouds.
The main summit, Lanping Peak, rises 2,081 metres. It is Liuzhou's highest peak and Guangxi's third highest. The mountain is a national nature reserve, with large areas of subtropical primeval forest and rare plants such as the Yuanbao fir. The usual route is to enter from the An Tai township side and hike to the top through primeval forest, past odd rock formations, to watch the sunrise above the clouds. The round trip takes a full day, and those of average fitness can stick to the forest trail. Climb in a group with a local guide. In the rainy season, watch out for flash floods and leeches. The drive from the county seat to An Tai township takes about 1 hour.
