Development and construction

Since the implementation of the national natural forest resources protection project in 1999, the focus of forest farm work has changed from cutting to management and protection. The old forest industrial structure does not adapt to the new work focus, leading to the decline of forestry economic benefits, and the financial income of forest farm cannot make ends meet . Due to its good ecological environment, rich natural resources and unique natural landscape, it was approved as a provincial forest park by Shaanxi Provincial Forestry Department in 2001, with a total area of 1963 hectares. In December 2003, it was promoted to a National Forest Park, with a total area of 3616 hectares.

By 2006, 25 million yuan of construction has been completed. The master plan of Muwang National Forest Park has been basically completed. Sihaiping, shuangtouma and Cigou scenic spots and yingzuifeng special reserve have been developed. In Yingzui peak, shuangtouma and sihaiping scenic spots, the park has paved 10 kilometers of oil road, built two 5.3 kilometers of four grade gravel branch roads, 5.6 kilometers of tourist trails, 8 observation platforms, 2 parking lots, and renovated 37.5 kilometers of trunk road into the park. The traffic framework has been formed, which can organically connect the whole scenic spots and scenic spots in the park. Mobile communication and cable TV have been opened in the park. In the park, a hotel with a daily reception of about 150 people was built, the idle rooms of the forest farm were transformed, a leisure center was built, and more than 40 standardized farmhouses were set up around the park.
