Bowang Mountain
僰王山
A bamboo sea and danxia landform scenic area in Xingwen County. Said to be where a Bo chieftain once held out, it combines bamboo forest, canyons and cliff walkways, and sees fewer visitors.
Bowang Mountain is in Bowang Town, Xingwen County. It is a national forest park and a national 4A scenic area, known for large stands of Phyllostachys bamboo, danxia cliffs and canyons, and streams and waterfalls. According to legend, a Bo chieftain held out here during the Ming dynasty. Attractions in the area include Bowang Palace, Immortal Cave and Wanlingqing. Far fewer visitors come here than to the Bamboo Sea. Forest cover is high, and it stays cool in summer. Admission and shuttle buses follow the scenic area's published information. Allow about half a day. It is about 25 km from the Xingwen Stone Sea, so it works well as a second day of a Stone Sea itinerary. It is about 100 km from Yibin's urban area.
