Infinite scenery is at the peak. It is a good choice to go to the pot in summer. The main peak of Huanshan is as high as 2098.7 meters, known as "Hunan roof". Because the top of the peak is like a pot, the middle is low, so it is named the Huguka Mountain.

There are ancient animals and plants, including 100,000 acres of original Tongtong, goat horn trees, wax plums and other global subtropical regions extremely rare ancient plant communities.

The Huanshan Mountain is located at 30 ° north latitude. There are alpine hills such as Qinling Mountains in the northwest. Special geographical location and climatic conditions allowed animals and plants to escape the glacier catastrophe and grow freely in Huanshan.

As the largest forest ecosystem type nature reserve in Hunan Province, Huanshan has currently recorded more than 8,760 biomedical species, of which 614 types of vertebrates, 3080 plants, more than 4770 species of insects, and 303 large fungi. Among them, there are 7 national first -level protected plants such as Tongtong, Red Dans, Rhubarb Shrimp Ridones, and 71 national second -level protected plants such as fragrant fruit trees.
