Shiwandashan National Forest Park
1. Basic Overview
Shiwandashan National Forest Park is located in the southwest of Shangsi County, 36 kilometers away from the county seat. It is 136 kilometers away from Nanning and 100 kilometers away from the tourist hotspot city Dongxing. The park is located on the golden tourist routes of Guilin, Nanning, Shiwandashan Forest Park, Dongxing, and Halong Bay in Vietnam. Its predecessor is the Hongqi Forest Farm, an ecological public welfare forest farm with water source forests as the management and protection object. The total area under its jurisdiction is 2,037 hectares, of which 1,336 hectares are water source forests, accounting for 65% of the total area, and the forest coverage rate is more than 98%. In July 1995, the forest farm adjusted its industrial structure, utilized forest resources and natural landscapes to develop forest tourism, and established Shiwandashan Forest Park. The park is located in the core area of ??Shiwandashan. The story of the film "Heroes and Hardcore" shot in the 1950s took place in Shiwandashan. Shiwandashan Forest Park was also an important filming location for the film. The release of the feature film "Heroes Are Hard" made Shiwandashan famous throughout the country. In August 1996, Shiwandashan Forest Park was rated as a national forest park by the State Forestry Administration.
Currently, Forest Park and Hongqi Forest Farm implement a management model with one team, two brands, and unified accounting. It has 7 departments including guest room department, tour guide department, catering department, engineering department, security department, external relations department, and office. The total assets are 17.91 million yuan and the total liabilities are 5.88 million yuan, of which the bank loan balance is 4.35 million yuan.
There are currently 142 employees, including 97 cadres, on-the-job contract workers, 22 retirees, and 23 hired workers. There are currently 70 people working in the park.
Since its opening in 1995, the park has received a total of 260,000 tourists. In the past few years, 10 million yuan of funds have been raised from various sources to invest in the reception facilities, scenic spot development and supporting facilities in the scenic area. At present, 2 hotels, 18 wooden buildings, 19 wooden houses, 1 floating restaurant, 1 multi-functional complex building and other facilities have been built; the roads in the reception area have all been hardened. The park now has 65 reception rooms, 138 fixed beds, 100 mobile tents, and a floating restaurant that can accommodate 200 people dining at the same time. The annual reception capacity reaches 60,000 people. 17.5 kilometers of pedestrian viewing paths have been built, and 33 scenic spots have been opened, such as natural medicinal baths, goddess baths, roots on stones, dragon robe trees, love network concentricity, source waterfalls, Jiulong pine, etc.; 25,000 square meters of lawns have been planted; opened It has program-controlled telephones, mobile communications and oil roads connected to the county; the tourist road from the park to Wangle is an important tourist route in Fangchenggang City for "going up the mountains, going to the sea and going abroad".
2. Natural Landscape
Shiwandashan National Forest Park has very unique tourism resources. There is no mountain without green, no peak without beauty, no stone without wonder, and no water without spring. There are mountains and mountains, towering ancient trees, gurgling water and deep ancient roads. Its mountains, water, trees, flowers, grass, clouds, strange rocks and other landscape resources are everywhere. The native vegetation in the park is the northern tropical monsoon forest and the monsoon green leaf forest, such as Phoebe angustifolia, Bauhinia, and Milaopai. There are more than 1,890 plant species and more than 500 animal species in the forest. Rainfall here is abundant, with an annual rainfall of more than 2,200 mm. The springs in the valleys of the four seasons overflow and the forests are lush. There are rare plants in the forest such as golden camellia, podocarpus, and national key protected animals such as black-necked pheasants, macaques, South China tigers and other rare birds and animals* **Reproduce together. Lion's Head Mountain is the highest peak in the park, with an altitude of 1,264 meters. The top of the mountain sometimes has strong winds, shrouded in clouds and mist, and drizzle; sometimes the wind blows away the clouds, and the sky clears up after the rain, with myriads of rays of light. From a distance, you can see the vast blue sea of ??Beibu Gulf and the shadows of sails, making people feel like they are in a fairyland. Shitou River is one of the water sources of the Pearl River. The river valley is 6.5 kilometers long. Water flows continuously all year round. The water quality is pure and meets the national Class 1 quality standard. The springs and waterfalls flowing along the valley are either like flying snow and cirrus clouds, spraying pearls and splashing jade, or like thousands of dendrobium pearls pouring in the sky. Whenever a flash flood breaks out, the sound is like thunder and can be heard for miles. The entire park has a pleasant climate, with an average annual temperature of around 22 degrees Celsius, warm in winter and cool in summer. The air is fresh, and the negative oxygen ion content in the air is as high as 162,000/cubic centimeter, dozens of times that of the city center. It is an ideal place for sightseeing, exploration, leisure and recuperation, and summer vacation.
3. Planning and Construction
In 1995, the park hired experts from the Forest Tourism Research Center of Central South Forestry University (now Central South University of Forestry and Technology) to conduct an investigation of environmental and ecological factors. The environmental noise, radioactive substances, air negative oxygen ion content and microbial content, surface water quality, atmospheric environment, etc. were monitored and an evaluation report and detailed data were obtained. The high evaluation and complete data foreshadowed the forest park. bright prospects. In 1998, the School of Urban and Environmental Studies of Peking University was invited to conduct a master plan for the park. In July 1999, Guangxi Forestry Survey and Design Institute was commissioned to make a detailed plan for the reception service area, including environmental capacity and scale prediction, road system and vertical planning, building layout and design, greening and beautification planning, environmental sanitation planning, and water supply and drainage planning. , telecommunications and electric power planning, etc., the forest park has been included in a high starting point, high standard, high-level tourism planning resort. However, due to lack of financial investment, the pace of park construction is still very slow. The main problems are: the detailed plan of the scenic spot has not yet been released; the grade of the road entering the park is very low; the service and reception facilities and equipment are simple and outdated and have incomplete functional configuration; the standard of the walking trails in the scenic spot is too low and has failed to form a network.
At present, Forest Park is accelerating the pace of various infrastructure construction through investment promotion. Qinzhou investors invested 5 million yuan to develop and construct Yunwu Villa, which laid the foundation stone in late June 2001.
The next step will be to strive for more external funds to invest in scenic roads, scenic spots, tourist resorts, subtropical rare botanical gardens, water parks, fishing gardens, fitness centers, Wanshan Club and other projects. The investment in these projects is expected to reach more than 80 million yuan. .
