⛰️💯 Under the winter sun, I came to Pingshan Forest Park again. The lake (Pingshan Reservoir) is clear, the low mountains are clearly layered, and the Ping'an Tower (known as the No. 1 tower in northern Jiangsu) is integrated with the mountains and rivers, blessing the peace of the area. Although it was a bit cold, the air was exceptionally fresh. If you like peace and quiet, take a walk in the forest park during the off-season. It feels like a private tour. I also saw several hoopoes. ⛰️✅ Pingshan Forest Park is located in the north of Liuhe District, with a total area of 2,213 hectares. The forest coverage rate in the park is over 85%, making it the largest area in Liuhe District. It was approved as a "provincial forest park" in 2005. It is a national 4A scenic spot. 🚖✅ Tickets are CNY 18 per person, and park annual passes are accepted. It is suitable for self-driving, and there is a free parking lot at the entrance.

I came to Lianhe Pingshan Forest Park for the first time after hearing about it. Millions of years ago, this was an active volcano 🌋, and now you can still see large volcanic rocks everywhere in the park. There is a whole jasmine tea plantation on the top of the mountain. The scenery is even more beautiful in summer. The scenic area is full of mountains and forests, with lush greenery and egrets flying around. It is the largest forest farm in Lianhe District and has the best ecological environment protection. In May 2002, it was recognized as the "First Ecological Demonstration Education Base in Jiangsu Province", and in January 2005, it was approved as a "Provincial Forest Park".
