Yinhu Mountain Suburban Park

The erosion gullies in Yinhu Mountain Suburban Park are numerous, with deep gullies, lush forests, beautiful rocks, occasional flowing water, rich vegetation, and a high biodiversity, making it a great place for valley exploration. The park is surrounded by many small reservoirs to the north and east, which are rare landscape resources in suburban parks. Standing on the top of Jigong Mountain, one can also experience the charm of the golden rooster's dawn. The natural vegetation in the park mainly consists of South Asian tropical monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forests and evergreen shrub forests, and in some valley areas, there are well-preserved valley evergreen broad-leaved forests with rainforest characteristics. The park has many characteristic forest landscapes, such as: Liquidambar forest, Myrica rubra forest, Lacquer tree forest, Rhus chinensis forest, and Flacourtia indica forest, which constitute one of the botanical wonders of the suburban park. The vertical variation of vegetation in Yinhu Mountain Suburban Park is obvious: as one moves from the foothills or valleys to the mountain tops, the vegetation evolves from valley and low mountain evergreen broad-leaved forests to mountain evergreen broad-leaved forests and secondary shrub forests, and the plants for viewing also change accordingly. Wild Myrica rubra is widely distributed in the park, and the number of plants is abundant. In early summer when the fruits are ripe, visitors walking in the forest can enjoy the sight of bright red fruits all over the mountains and pick them at will. The park contains four kinds of rare and endangered plants, namely: Camphor tree (national second-class protected plant), Wild tea tree (rare species), Golden hair dog (national second-class protected plant), and Agarwood (national second-class protected plant).
