World Natural Heritage World Geopark The First National Forest Park of China
Hunan Yunyang National Forest Park, located in Chaling County, Zhuzhou City, 2.5km away from the center of town, is an originated land of Shennong culture. Being not only a summer retreat land, but also a blessed land which has been worshipped by Buddhist and Taoist, it has won the laudatory titles like “Second Heng Mountain”and so on.
Hunan Yunyang National Forest Park collects beauty of elegance, serenity, danger and wonder together.Wandering in Yunyang Temple which was originally built in Tang Dynasty, you will fall into this peaceful land with bamboos clustered around, caves situated closely and spring water murmuring. Interesting, this old temple sometimes was served as Buddhist Temple, sometimes Taoist Abbey and sometimes academy of classical learning. Huang Tingjian, a famous poet and calligrapher in Northern Song Dynasty, ever stayed a night here and since then yearned for a life far away from earthly world. There is another scenic spot named Wulei Pool. It is not special at first look. However, when attaching your ear close to the rock, you will hear the sound of rat-tat in rock. It is said that water in Wulei Pool can clear eye and hear and can strengthen body. So, tourists will definitely bring home several bottles of Wulei Pool water.
If you want to relax yourself and get away from trouble of earthly world, just come to here and enjoy yourself.
