Guposhan National Forest Park

Gupo mountain is a national Grade-A tourist attraction. It is located at the southern end of Mengzhu mountain at the junction of Guangxi, Guangdong and Hunan provinces. It is 16 kilometers away from Hezhou City. It is an important tourist destination on the golden tourist line of Hong Kong Guangzhou Guilin. With a total area of 65 square kilometers, the tourist area has eight theme scenic spots: Xiangu village, Xiangu lawn, Xiangu waterfall, tiantianding, Jiutian Canyon, lover's forest, guyaochong and Fangjia tea garden. It contains 88 magical landscapes, such as tea longevity stone, cornucopia, immortal guide and eight step wizard of fairies. Therefore, it has the reputation of "Southern fairy mountain".

There are dozens of mountains more than 1000 meters in the park, and the top of heaven is 1844 meters above sea level, which is the peak at the junction of the three provinces; there are more than 1200 kinds of plants, 9 kinds of national key protected plants; there are more than 200 kinds of wild animals, 21 kinds of national key protected animals; the four seasons are pleasant, and all things are prosperous.

The forest coverage rate is as high as 99.55%, and the negative ion content is as high as 150000 / cm3, which has obvious physical therapy effect on human body, and has laid a green gene for Hezhou, a world longevity city. Therefore, Gupo mountain is known as "longevity fairy land".

The scenic area is densely forested and rich in water resources. There are nearly 100 waterfalls in the central area, forming a large number of flexible water landscape. It is rare in China. Since ancient times, there has been a poem praising "a hundred waterfalls and springs", which is known as "China forest waterfall grand View Garden".

There are more than 80 miracles in the mountain. He Xiangu culture permeates the soil and water and breeds all things in the mountain. People of all ages worship he Xiangu and regard this mountain as a cultural holy mountain. According to the local Hakka legend, after she became an immortal, she often turned into a Hakka aunt to save her life and spread happiness to the whole world.

As a result, Gupo mountain is famous all over the world.

climate

Gupo mountain is located in the middle subtropical climate zone, with an annual average temperature of 18.2 ℃ (the annual average temperature at the top of Gupo mountain is 10 ℃), the highest temperature of 38.9 ℃, the lowest temperature of - 4.0 ℃ and the active accumulated temperature of 6643 ℃. The average annual rainfall is 1704mm and the relative humidity is more than 80%. In spring, there are more rain, fog and strong wind. Especially in summer, due to the influence of warm and humid air flow in the South Ocean, there are often a lot of frontal rain in front of Gupo mountain. In winter, there are short-term frost and rain song. The annual average frost free period is 299 days. The air in the park is clean with a negative oxygen ion content of 156000 / cm3, which is known as "the largest natural oxygen bar in South China".

landforms

Gupo mountain, 80 kilometers around the park, is a kingdom of natural animals and plants. There are 25 peaks with an altitude of more than 1000 meters. The highest peak is 1844 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in Eastern Guangxi. There are many ravines and streams all the year round. Due to the special topography and structure, there are many precipices in the territory, forming a unique scene that all the ditches are waterfalls and the waterfalls are unique. Among them, Xiangu waterfall, Yulong waterfall in Yinhe Jiutian scenic area, puma waterfall and Luohan waterfall in wayaochong scenic area are particularly famous.

Gupo mountain is a branch and range of mengzhuling mountains. It enters Guangxi from Jianghua County, Hunan Province, and extends from northeast to southwest. It is connected by Ma'anshan, tiantangding (1844 meters above sea level), Gupo mountain (1730 meters above sea level) and other main peaks to form the main body of the mountain range in southwest direction. From the mountain range to Gupo mountain, it turns northwest to Hunan and becomes a low vein, and the branch to the South also becomes a vein, forming the terrain of Gupo mountain with three slopes in the north, West, Southeast and one continuous vein in the northeast.

The main peak is abrupt, the peaks stand side by side, the terrain is steep, the ditch is long and the valley is deep. The highest heaven peak in the park is 1844 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in Guidong, with the lowest altitude of 300 meters and the relative height of more than 1500 meters. The landform type belongs to eroded fold fault granite mountain landform. The development of landforms is formed through the interaction of internal and external gravitation in the long-term historical evolution.

Guposhan is located in the Yanshanian fold belt of the Nanling parageosyncline, and has experienced many important orogenic cycles. The Yanshanian movement from Jurassic to Cretaceous resulted in large to NE trending parallel folds in the major mountains of Guposhan. Before the middle of the Oligocene, the crust was relatively stable. Fault block uplifting occurred in the first episode of Himalayan movement from late Oligocene to middle Miocene, and the Himalayan movement in the early Pleistocene of Quaternary sharply increased the amplitude of uplifting. Since Holocene, the evolution of geomorphology, on the one hand, the crustal tectonic change inherited the characteristics of the Pleistocene, that is, the different vertical movements were continuously carried out in some original fault zones. The result is that the mountains are uplifted to different degrees and reach the height.

On the other hand, in the subtropical humid monsoon climate, the erosion of flowing water makes the hillside of granite and sand shale scour very quickly, the gully incises violently, and accumulates at the low altitude to form the mountain area and the central gentle zone of Babu basin. The landforms from the urban area to the Forest Park are: karst landform, hilly landform, low mountain and middle mountain landform. In more than 20 kilometers, there are many types of landforms. It can be seen that the topography and mountains are very varied in space, and the landscape is rich and colorful.

evolution

Guposhan is the most convenient channel between Babu, a historical town of Guangxi, and Jianghua, Hunan Province. Tracing back to the Gupo River, there are still five round holes in the river or on the rocks along the river, two or three of which are six or seven inches square and five or six inches deep. It is said that they are the ruins of ancient Chu and Yue's encampment, including toudushui, erdushui, sandushui, sidushui and wudushui. It is also said that they are the relics of ancient merchants resting on the river and holding wooden rafts. There is still a section of ancient stone steps in a small valley in front of maguchao, whose age remains to be studied. Before liberation, bandits often appeared in Gupo mountain. The secret cave of bandits was found near the top of Gupo mountain.
