The Baiyunshan National Forest Park Travel Guide

The Baiyunshan National Forest Park was established in September, 1992. Located in southern Song County, Luoyang, the hinterland of the Funiu Mountain Ridge, the park occupies a total area of 168 sq kilometers (64.9 sq miles).

With 98.5 percent of its area in forest, this park is in the transition area between warm-temperate zone and subtropical zone. Within the forest park, there are 204 types of animals, 1991 types of plants, and 3,000 types of insects. At 2,150 meters (7,054 feet) above the sea level, Baiyunshan (White Cloud) Peak is one of the main peaks of the Funiu Mountain Ridge.

The clouds crowd around it perennially making it like a fairyland on earth. Besides the mountains, there are many wonderful waterfalls. These waterfalls are formed by the Baihe River which originates on Yuhuangding Peak. With a ceaseless, abundant water supply, it dashes downwards and scours out scattered waterfalls and deep pools.

The Jiulong waterfall, Qinglong Waterfall, and the Heilong Pool are some of the appealing sights in this area. For the splendid scenery in the national forest park, it invites visitors to refresh themselves in its natural beauty.
