Entering into the forest, listening to the gurgling river and have lovely animals around, how carefree and content! If you’re interested in nature beauty strongly, the following ten beautiful forests in China are what you shouldn’t miss.

Korean Pine Mixed Forests in Changbaishan Mountain
Located in the Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve in Jilin Provice, the forest, which is regarded as the "China’s Green Treasure House”, has the most abundant resources. There are many kind of broad leaved forests and coniferous deciduous forests, among which the Korean pine is the main kind. There are brilliant flowers early in spring, towering old trees in summer, beautiful landscapes in late autumn and snow-wrapped world in winter. The amur grapes and shizandra berries add features to the forest.

Tianshan Mountain Xueling Spruce Forest
The Tianshan Mountain Xueling Spruce Forest has existed for 40 million years and is like a living fossil on the Tianshan Mountains. It grows in the mountains between 1,500 and 2,800 meters above sea level. In the northwest of China and desert areas of Central Asia, the evergreen Xueling spruce grows sturdily despite the harshness of the desert. This is the oldest tree ever found in Xinjiang and is well worthy of its name 'King of Xinjiang Spruces.'

JianfenglingTropical Rain Forest
It is the largest and well-preserved intact tropical rain forest in China. There are distributed eight kinds of major vegetation vertically from seashore to the highest peak and pregnant with more than 3000 kinds of plants and more than 4700 kinds of animals. The Park fine original ecological environment is an ideal place for holidays, sightseeing, exploration, hunting for novelty, recreation amusement, body building and fit keeping, prevention from the summer heat and winter chill.

Baima Snow Mountain Azalea Forest
There are few evergreen plants on the Baima Snow Mountain, but azaleas grow in abundance. On high mountains and lofty ridges between 2,600 and 4,200 meters, mountain azaleas blossom every year. They grow in clusters and blossom together, creating an intoxicating ''sea of flowers'' as spring gives way to summer. In early summer when the ice and snow has melted, mountain azaleas come into flower across the hillside, spreading a magnificent cloak over the bleak and bare slopes.

Xishuangbanna Tropical Rain Forest
The tropical rain forest of Xishuangbanna provides favorable environments for the growth and propagation of various kinds of wild animals. There are 18 orders, 56 families, 210 genera and 399 species of birds, and 8 orders, 28 families, 47 genera and 67 species of animals. The species of birds account for 33.8% of the total species of birds of the country, and the species of animals 16% of the country's total. In addition there are more than a hundred species of fishes, including the rare and precious "Yinyu" and "Yingyu".

Luntai Huyang Poplar Forest
The Huyang poplar forest is common desert forest, meadow vegetation in the Tarim Basin, growing from upper to lower reaches of the Tarim River valley. Despite a rather simple structure, the forest has distinct ecological markings of the bio-zone in which it grows. The forest, in the rosy dawn or in the sunset glow, radiates vigor, hope, and mystery, too.

Bomi Gangxiang Spruce Forest
The Bome Gangxiang Spruce Forest, located at the lower reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, has the largest, best, and last primeval forest in China. The spruces here are like towers… tall, straight, dense and sturdy. Under the tree canopy, it is pleasantly cool and moist in the forest. Shrubs and herbaceous plants are evenly distributed. Moss thrives, creating a green blanket almost covering the whole forest floor. Rampant vines, 30 or 40 centimeters in diameter, can wind their way up to the crown canopy.

Libo Karst Forest
Libo Karst lies in Libo County, southern Guizhou Province. It is a typical site featuring cone karst on the transitional zone between Guizhou plateau and Guangxi lowland. It is said that from the Arabian Peninsula to the Sahara Desert, from Mexico City to the southwestern United States, when almost all karst areas of the same latitudes have been in the state of stone desertification, Libo, with more than 20,000 hectares of lush vegetation, is "The emerald on Earth's belt."

Xing’an Larch Forest
The Xing'an larch is the main tree in the Greater Xing'an Mountains Forest, part of the circum-arctic coniferous forest that extends within China north to south along the Greater Xing'an Mountains. It is also home to many arctic species, such as the snow hare, elk, cowberry and crowberry. The scenery varies as the seasons come and go. It is at its most beautiful in spring and summer. This primeval forest in the north Greater Xing'an Mountains, green and majestic is a treasured land along China northern frontier.

Shunan Bamboo Sea
Shunan Bamboo Sea covers an area of over 120 kilometers. Characterized by bamboo scenery, the Bamboo Sea has won its fame for its unique green and graceful bamboos which make every visitor wonder if they were in a fairy land of heaven. Embraced by the amazing green sea of bamboos which are waving softly in the breeze, you will feel as if you were a happy and lightsome fairy flying freely and playing cheerfully with the natural spirits in the end of rainbow.
