About Liping National Forest Park
A Shaanxi News Network page gives the park's extent as 18 km east to west and 13 km north to south, with its western edge reaching the Nanzheng district boundary next to Ningqiang County, its east at 黄杨河东沟, its north at 白杨坪 and its south at the southern ridge of 冷坝.
The same page describes the park as holding forest, meadow, waterfall and stone-forest scenery among other features; it says the park is made up of four scenic areas including 黄洋河, 石马山 and 冷坝, and that more than 160 named spots lie across it, their main subjects being old-growth forest, local customs and the former residence of 安汉.
A second page, credited to 群众新闻网 and carrying a named reporter's byline, lists honours the park has received – national 4A-level scenic area, national forest park, national geological park, one of the first batch of 中国森林氧吧, Shaanxi outstanding tourist scenic area and Shaanxi tourism-standardisation scenic area – with 等荣誉称号 marking the list as open.
Two landforms are singled out. 中华龙山, which the first page says was produced when the Wenchuan earthquake fractured the mountain, is a brown mass shaped like a giant dragon and thought to date to the Ordovician, 400 to 500 million years ago; the second page adds that its rock surface resembles dragon scales and that ancient seabed fossils are found across it. 石马山 is a high-mountain stone forest of peak clusters that both pages call unique at its latitude and elevation. 冷坝 is alpine meadow, with grazing herds and wild flowers.
Neither page gives opening hours, ticket prices, trail lengths or road access, and neither names the body that confers the designations it lists.
What to look for
- 中华龙山, the dragon-shaped brown mass the first page links to the Wenchuan earthquake and dates to the Ordovician, with rock the second page compares to dragon scales.
- 石马山's high-mountain stone forest of peak clusters, which both pages call unique at its latitude and elevation.
- 冷坝's alpine meadow, with grazing herds and wild flowers.
- The old-growth forest that the first page names among the park's main subjects.
