The Wonders of Fanjing Mountain
Good afternoon, everyone!
I’m very happy to be here to give a short lecture.
Have you ever heard of Fanjing Mountain Or have you ever visited it If you haven’t, you soon will! Fanjing Mountain lies in Tongren, Guizhou Province with an elevation of about 2,570 metres. It is the highest peak of the Wuling Mountain range in south-west China. Fanjing Mountain was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2018.
The Fanjingshan Nature Reserve
was established in 1978 and represents one of the country’s greatest achievements in environmental protection.The rich biodiversity of the Wuling Mountain range is the principal reason for Fanjing Mountain’s inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage prising the largest subtropical primeval beech forest, the region is home to 2,000 species of plants, such as the endangered Chinese dove tree.
Endangered animal species that can be found on Fanjing Mountain and its surrounding mountain range include the Chinese giant salamander, forest musk deer and grey snub-nosed monkey.
Fanjing Mountain is of course also
renowned for the breathtaking
views from its summit – or, more
accurately “summits”, as there are
three of these! And when night falls
leaving this magnificent scenery in
darkness, the Mushroom Stone, one of the many strange rock formations, is illuminated so that visitors can still marvel at the wonders of Fanjing Mountain.
All explains why Fanjing Mountain earned its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Thank you for your listening! Now, does anyone have any questions
