Hezhang National Forest Park is located in Hezhang County in the northwest of Guizhou Province, and consists of Pingshan Forest Area and Water Pond Forest Area. The total area of the park is 4733 hectares. The forest coverage rate in the park is 87.8%, which is a very important biological gene pool and water conservation forest area in Northwest Guizhou.
The forest landscape in the park is very beautiful, with nearly 10,000 mu of natural evergreen broad-leaved and deciduous forests, thousands of seedlings in Zhongshan grassland, more than 10,000 mu of coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests, and nearly 20,000 mu of coniferous forests. Rhododendrons and camellias are blooming in spring, thousands of trees are verdant in summer, the forests are dyed in autumn, and eucalyptus and Qiongzhi are in winter.
The park is located in the plateau canyon area, with rich cultural landscapes, which are majestic, strange, dangerous and beautiful. Yelang Three Gorges, Qixingjian Gorge, Tonggu Gorge, Fupi Gorge and other gorges are full of high mountains and emerald green peaks. Three natural bridges developed from karst caves on the Qixing River, like uncanny craftsmanship, span the river, with a wide bridge deck and a span of 100-120 meters. Standing on the bridge, it seems to be in a misty fairyland. There are more than 10 deep and mysterious caves in the scenic area, which are good places for scientific research.
The hydrological landscape of the park is spectacular. Natural rivers, big and small, gallop all the way and sing happily all the way. Some of the falling water waterfalls are fluttering, and some are roaring loudly. The "Vanilla Waterfall" located on several acres of lawn is so green that it makes people enchanted. The eroded depressions in the park form the "Vanilla Lake" with a water capacity of 22,000 cubic meters, which is dotted in the green ocean together with 17 artificial reservoirs.
The park is rich in cultural landscape resources, and its historical culture is dominated by Yelang culture, including prehistoric culture more than 2,000 years ago and the cultures of various ethnic groups in Yelang's hometown in the middle of 2,000 years. The "Hezhang Kele Tomb Site" in the park was rated as one of the "Top Ten New Archaeological Discoveries in China" in 2001 by the Chinese Archaeological Society.
