Waterfall group

Jiaoshuwo waterfall is 30 meters near the intersection of jiaoshuwo and Zhangjiashan stream. In the rainy season, the waterfall falls like a long dragon from the air. The water splashes down, and the air is filled with water drops, which is natural and fresh.

On the riverbed of Zhangjiashan River, due to the uneven terrain, there are many small waterfalls, each of which has its own characteristics and is incomparably beautiful.

Development and construction

The predecessor of liuzhangjiashan Forest Park is liuzhangjiashan forest farm, which was founded in 1956. In the 1950s, it was a state-owned forest farm dominated by management and protection; in the early 1960s, it was changed to a provincial local forest farm, with three production teams of citrus orchard, shangsong and xiasong under its management; in the middle and late 1960s, the management changed from management and protection to the combination of harvesting and breeding, with great efforts in afforestation; in the early 1970s, citrus orchard and shangxiasong were divided into two working areas, with the combination of collective and state-owned; in the early 1980s, it was re established On July 8, 1993, the provincial liuzhangjiashan Forest Park was established with the approval of Guangdong Provincial Forestry Department.

After years of continuous development, forestry production and diversified management have formed a certain scale, and the development of eco-tourism has begun to take shape, which has a good development prospect. It plays a very important role in the development and protection of forest resources, and giving full play to the "three benefits" of forest.
