Goulou Peak Forest Park

    Goulou Peak Forest Park is located in the northern part of Hengyang urban area, adjacent to Shigu District of Hengyang City. It serves as the green lung of the Hengyang Southwest Metropolitan Area, and is designated as a National 3A Tourist Attraction and National Forest Park.

    Endowed with abundant forest resources and rich biodiversity, the scenic area is an ideal resort for leisure and summer retreat. The national forest park was established in 1995 on the basis of the state-owned Goulou Peak Forest Farm.

    The main peak, Goulou Peak, is one of the Seventy-Two Peaks of Nanyue, including five major peaks such as Goulou and Leizu, with an altitude of 1,131 meters. The park covers a total area of 31,000 mu, with a forest coverage rate of 95%.

    Surrounded by rolling mountains, the park features an endless sea of forests and towering ancient trees. Shrouded in mist all year round, it enjoys a pleasant climate. Boasting a long history and numerous historical relics, its cultural and natural landscapes set each other off beautifully. It is truly hailed as "a tourist resort and a fairyland for summer vacation".
