Lianhua Mountain 莲花山

About Lianhua Mountain

The Shanwei municipal ecology and environment bureau's own report on a green-development demonstration zone within the park names the Lianhuashan main peak, Lianhua Diecui, the Yulong Penxu gorge, the Sanjing Huiyin gorge, a run of waterfalls locally called the 'eighteen waterfalls of Lianhuashan', Xianren Cave and a mountain pool called Tianchi among its natural tourism resources. The demonstration zone itself covers 3,300 mu and includes a 5.5-kilometre greenway around the mountain for cycling and walking, and the Lianhuashan holiday resort within it is rated a provincial forest health-care base and a national AAAA tourist area.

The same report records Lianhuashan tea, a local specialty with a 200-year history, as holding national geographic-indication protection and pollution-free origin and product certification, among other honours, and describes an old-tree park at Wencuo village holding eight old zhui and banyan trees.
