Live Your Best Lives
Baiyang Mountain covers an area of 7,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres), with its main peak at 63.8 meters above sea level. The mountain's winding slopes offer fresh air and a pleasant climate. The mountain boasts lush, evergreen vegetation year-round, abundant birdlife, and a forest coverage rate of 82%. It was designated a provincial forest park in 1999. From a distance, Baiyang Mountain is lushly green, stretching 5 kilometers from east to west like a string of dancing emeralds. Approaching the mountain's summit, the peak, though only a little over 60 meters high, possesses a soothing, gentle quality. Following a subtle path through dense thorns, shrubs, and trees, the reporter was filled with the gusts of mountain breeze, the occasional crisp bird calls punctuating the rustling of the forest. The air is as fresh as fresh water, and being in the forest feels like stepping into a natural oxygen bar. Reaching the summit and surveying the surroundings, the magnificent scenery is breathtaking.
