Sanyuan Castanopsis Kawakamii

The Castanopsis carlesii Attraction is located about 30 kilometers southwest of Sanming City. More than 100 years ago, an Englishman named Ge discovered large tracts of Castanopsis carlesii forests here, hence the name. This plant is found sporadically in other places, but grows naturally in large tracts in the suburbs of Sanming City, so it is very precious in the field of scientific research and is known as the world's largest Castanopsis carlesii forest. For ordinary tourists, the special shapes of these ancient trees are the important attractions. At present, Castanopsis carlesii is a relatively unpopular attraction, and many people in Fujian Province may not know about it, but it is just right to quietly enjoy the tranquility brought by the large tracts of precious Castanopsis carlesii forests. There are almost no more entertainment facilities here except for the walking plank road. You don't have to run around the various attractions. Just stroll among the tall and diversely shaped woods, appreciate their varied shapes, and learn about its varieties and characteristics through the introduction signs next to them. The large Castanopsis carlesii king is more than 30 meters high, which is very rare. If you come here in March or April, you can see the whole forest decorated with snow-white flowers of Castanopsis carlesii, which are blooming in clusters, very beautiful. In addition, there is also a small Castanopsis carlesii temple, several holiday cottages, several bamboo pavilions for rest, and even a monkey park, but perhaps because there are not many tourists, it looks a bit deserted, so just take a quick look.
