Yiwu Huaxi Forest Park, a green fairyland right at my doorstep

Huaxi Forest Park is located in the northeastern part of Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province, at the foot of the Wuyan Mountain, which is part of the Tianmu Mountain range. It is 16 kilometers away from Yiwu county town, 12 kilometers away from Dongyang county town, and only 8 kilometers away from my hometown, making it a green fairyland right at my doorstep. Huaxi Forest Park is divided into Longtan Valley and Huaxian Valley. Longtan Valley is lush with greenery and the sound of babbling brooks. From low to high, there are various natural and cultural landscapes distributed in sequence, including Huaxi Lake, Thousand Camphor Forest, Longtan Zen Temple, Bamboo Shadow Spring Sound, Panto Stone, Jin Si Pool, Black Dragon Spouting Water, Long Qiu Waterfall, Hundred Steps Steep, Fairy Paying Homage to the Moon, Eight Immortals Pavilion, Chaotian Treasure Cave, and Xian Shui Cave, totaling 20 spots, with the highest point at an altitude of 890 meters. Huaxian Valley is a large-scale fruit-picking garden located at the foot of the forest park, amidst farmland and villages. Most of the trails are paved with square stones, winding along the stream, through the vast forest, and leading to secluded paths. The stream is so clear that the bottom can be seen, singing merrily as it falls into numerous waterfalls of various sizes. Along the stream, there are more than 1,000 camphor trees, and the forest is intertwined with many wisterias, known as the 'Thousand-Year-Old Vines'. Xian Shui Cave is located at an altitude of over 800 meters, where water drips all year round and the spring never dries up, and the water is drinkable directly. In front of the cave is a temple with the sound of chanting, as if in another world. Standing on the small square in front of the temple, on a clear day, you can see all the small mountains, and on a rainy day, you can sit amidst the rolling clouds. On the map of the scenic area, Xian Shui Cave and Eight Immortals Pavilion seem very close, but in reality, they are separated by a steep mountain road of more than an hour's walk. The elderly, children, and those with physical weaknesses should be cautious, and it is advisable to turn back at the Eight Immortals Pavilion. 📍Detailed address: Lianwu Village, Twenty-three Li Sub-district, Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province Opening hours: 8:00—16:00 Ticket price: 10 yuan, with an additional 5 yuan on holidays and weekends ⏳Time reference: 2 to 4 hours
