fuzhou national forest park

Fuzhou National Forest Park (also known as "Fuzhou botanical garden") is the first National Forest Park in Fujian Province, one of the top ten forest parks in China, and one of the six 4A scenic spots in China. Fuzhou National Forest Park, formerly known as Fuzhou arboretum, was established in February 1960 and 1988 with the approval of the Ministry of forestry of the people's Republic of China. It covers an area of 859.33 hectares. It is divided into five parts: forest area, nursery, greenhouse, special garden and rest area.

On December 5, 2016, the National Tourism Administration announced that the 4A scenic spot of Fuzhou National Forest Park was criticized.

Location context

Fuzhou National Forest Park, formerly known as Fuzhou arboretum, is a comprehensive park integrating scientific research and tourism. It covers an area of 859.33 hectares. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side. It is bounded by fufei road in the East, bordered on yeyang village at huding in the west, bordered on the North Bank of Bayi Reservoir in the south, Fuzhou zoo in the south, and Bijia mountain in Lingtou Township in the north. It is rectangular in shape. The highest place is Bijiashan, which is 643 meters above sea level. The lowest altitude of Bayi Reservoir in Yuannan is only 47 meters. The operating area is 860 hectares.

geographical environment

topographic features

Surrounded by green hills on three sides, the park is close to Bayi Lake in the south. The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast.

The soil parent rocks in the park are mainly crystalline granite and condensate. The soil is mainly red soil. The soil profile is strongly acidic, the lower layer is reddish brown or orange red, and the bottom layer has a red, yellow and white interlaced network layer. Most of the soil layers in mountainous area are thin, with more gravel and less humus. A few of them are stony soil, and a small amount of gley paddy soil is distributed in flat land. The drainage in the forest park is good, and the soluble salts in the soil are easy to be leached out, so the soil is generally acidic.

Climatic characteristics

Located in the northern edge of subtropical zone, the park has a subtropical marine climate with mild climate, abundant rainfall, 79% annual average relative humidity and 20 ℃ annual average temperature.

Resources

Resource characteristics

Fuzhou National Forest Park is affected by a variety of natural conditions. The vegetation types are complex and varied. Most of the vegetation is distributed in the flat areas of hills and valleys. There are two types of artificial forest and natural secondary forest, and some natural shrubs.

Resource classification

plant resources

There are a variety of rare plants protected by the state, such as "living fossil" - Metasequoia glyptostroboides, "Chinese pigeon tree" - Davidia involucrata, and a small number of "giant in the forest" - Wangtian tree. It is said that the Wangtian tree can grow to more than 70 meters. People can't see the top of the tree when standing under it. There are also the "Empress of the tea tribe" - Camellia chrysantha and Alsophila spinulosa, the oldest living fossil in the world and known as ancient forest relic, which were discovered only in 1960. And one of the world's famous giant trees, known as the "king of ten thousand trees" of taiwanshan. There are also many kinds of rare plants protected by the state, such as Ginkgo biloba, Lianxiang tree, Carpinus Putuo, Eucommia ulmoides, cypress tree, summer plum, long petaled short column tea, Camellia yunnanensis, Hibiscus syriacus, Torreya hainanensis, litchi, etc.

tourist resources

Due to the protection effect of geographical environment and forest, the park has formed a unique microclimate. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. The average temperature in summer is 3-5 ℃ lower than that in Fuzhou. The forest releases a large amount of oxygen and negative oxygen ions, attracting many citizens to experience the "forest bath", known as "the largest natural oxygen bar in Fuzhou"

President Jiang Zehui of the Chinese Academy of forestry affectionately called it "the lung of Fuzhou"

Main scenic spots

Bamboo garden

Bamboo ornamental garden is the most abundant collection of bamboo varieties in the garden. There are 226 species of bamboo, more than 50 species than the UN World Bamboo Research Center in Anji, Zhejiang Province, China. There are also the world's five major scenic tree species of Japanese golden pine, Araucaria, Cedrus, golden pine, Sequoia, and the world's three most popular beverages - coffee, cocoa and tea. In particular, the coastal redwood, known as the "ambassador of friendship" between China and the United States, is the second generation of the friendship tree given to the late Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai by former US President Nixon during his visit to China

. In addition, there are also four street tree species in the world -- Platanus acerifolia, elm, Aesculus chinensis, Tilia amurensis and ten traditional Chinese famous flowers (74 species of Camellia).

Tree viewing area

In the tree viewing area, more than 1700 kinds of tree species and more than 1000 kinds of plants under local protection introduced from home and abroad in the past 40 years have been used to build a special botanical garden. The tree introduction area will be transformed into a tree viewing area, and eight special plant parks will be built, including bamboo garden, rare botanical garden, palm garden, Cycas garden, banyan landscape area, Fujian orchid garden, celebrity tree planting area, shade Botanical Garden (foot press fitness area). Bamboo ornamental garden collects more than 200 kinds of bamboo varieties from all over the country, which is one of the most complete bamboo gardens in East China. There are 22 kinds of Cycas in Cycas garden, including 16 kinds in China and 6 kinds abroad, which are first-class protected plants of the state.
