1 min readIt is one of the biggest inner-city parks in China.It is a natural forest park in Guiyang with high mountains and a crystal clear lake.In addition to such natural scenes as ancient trees,lakes,ponds and lotus,the park boasts many spots of historical interest.On the cliffs of the hills,there are in-scriptions by ancient calligraphers.The largest inscription is the 6.2-meter-high and 2.7-metre-wide character hu(tiger)written by a calligrapher in 1860.
During the Anti-Japanese War,the famous patriotic generals like Chang Hsueh-liang(i9o1-2001)and Yang Hucheng(1892-1949)were iailed one after another in the Shuliyue Nunnery.The nunnery is now developed into a museum.The park is also home to some 400 monkeys.The 3 900-hectare Forest Park is located in the southeastern part of the city.It is China’s earliest and largest forest park ever built in a city.In summer,as the temperature is two degrees lower than the other part of the city,the park is an ideal sum-mer resort.
