Tianmu Mountain is located in the northern edge of the middle subtropical zone. Due to the unique mountain influence, it forms a warm winter and cool summer microclimate, with an annual average temperature of 14 ℃. Dense trees and flowing water create abundant "negative ions" and other gaseous substances beneficial to human body. The content of "negative ions" in the air of Tianmu Mountain is more than 100000 per cubic centimeter, ranking the first in similar scenic spots. It has the effects of dust removal and sterilization, and has good curative effect on respiratory diseases.

The geographical environment and forest effect of Tianmu Mountain form a special microclimate. The annual average temperature of xianrenting is 8.8 ℃ and that of Piedmont is 14.8 ℃. Vast forest, quiet and elegant, especially cool in summer, winter without cold. Abundant plant resources and superior natural environment provide good conditions for the growth and reproduction of various animals. It also creates an excellent environment for human leisure, vacation and tourism. Moreover, the forest here is filled with a variety of gaseous substances that can significantly alleviate diseases such as neurasthenia and cardiovascular system. In 2005, researchers from the Tourism College of Zhejiang Forestry University found that the highest content of negative ions in the air of Tianmu Mountain reached 130000 / cm3, setting a new national record. Therefore, Tianmu Mountain is an ideal place for people's health, tourism and leisure.
