Longqishan National Nature Reserve
龙栖山国家级自然保护区
A primeval forest reserve in northwestern Fujian, where the Longtan waterfall cluster, ancient Japanese cedar groves and a nature museum are the main attractions.
Longqishan lies in Bailian Town, southwest of Jiangle County. It is a national nature reserve devoted to protecting mid-subtropical evergreen broadleaf forest and rare animals such as Cabot’s tragopan, with forest cover exceeding 95%. Open visitor areas include the Longtan waterfall cluster, ancient Japanese cedar groves, alpine meadows and the Longqishan Nature Museum. Azaleas blanket the hills in spring, and the valleys stay cool in summer. The reserve is about 40 km from the county town, and the mountain roads are narrow, so driving yourself or hiring a car is recommended. The core zone is closed to the public, and visitors must follow reserve rules. The coordinates are estimated from Bailian Town’s location.
