Main attractions of Tai Mo Shan

Tai Mo Shan Country Park, located at the foot of Tai Mo Shan, is the highest country park in Hong Kong. It was appointed by the Hong Kong government in February 1979. It is the highest country park in Hong Kong. Tai Mo Shan, Tsuen Wan, New Territories, is located at Tai Mo Shan (958m), the highest peak in Hong Kong. Covering an area of 1400 hectares, it has always been a paradise for hikers. There will be frost at the top of the mountain in severe cold. At the starting point of Tai Mo Shan Highway, there is a revolving mountain park. Around the two antique pavilions in the park, there is a large barbecue site for more than 65,438+0,000 people to have a picnic. It is connected with Tai Po Mei Nature Reserve in the east, Shing Mun Country Park in the southeast and tai lam country park via Twisk Highway in the west. The hiking trail starts from Tai Mo Shan car park, and there are other short and convenient Le Jia trails to choose from. Visitors can also take a bus to the Mid-Levels Gate, where they can overlook the beautiful scenery of Tsuen Wan, Kowloon, Lincun Valley and Guangdong Mountain Group. Damao mountain is entirely formed by volcanic rocks. Taimaoshan Country Park has two mountains, Jigongling and Oshima, both of which are fire ridges protruding from the plain, leaving only banded or sporadic woodlands in the valley. The planting area is in the southeast. Due to the influence of climate, the forest area can be extended to a height of 550 meters, with shrubs and grasslands as the main parts. Some hybrid birds, rare snakes and other insects breed here.

Country parks are dominated by pine trees, and acacia is also planted as a fire ring. On the high hillside of Tai Mo Mountain, you can see herringbone terraces. There are many tea gardens on this plateau. Xiyuan, Luotian Village, north of damao mountain Farm, was a big group in those days. Jinbing Village once built a hut here (now uninhabited) to grow tea and trees and named it Xiyuan, so the Grand Canyon was named after it. The mountain in the canyon is more than 600 meters high, with pines and cypresses, quiet and elegant, and it is a primitive secondary forest. There are hundreds of tree species here, including more than 200 kinds of medicinal materials such as lily, golden monkey, Polygonum multiflorum and angelica. Wild animals include goats, wild boars, rabbits, pheasants and turtledoves. This is an eco-tourism area. The total length of the canyon is about 12km, and there is a flowing stone in the middle. There is a big stone at the mouth of the canyon, which is about one floor high. There are footprints carved by ancient gods on the stone, which are called "fairy footprints", and there is another one on Andromeda Peak. Not far from Xianjin Corner Stone, there is a small power station built by a large group, which dammed and stored water from the middle point of the canyon and then led it to the power station for power generation. There is a small fork in the middle of the canyon, which leads to Fengchao Village in Nan 'an, but it is necessary to climb the mountain of Fairy Peak. Fairy Peak is in a dangerous terrain, and there is a big stone next to it, which looks like a turtle sticking its head out. It's called "the tortoise ascended to heaven" Walking up the stream, you can see a big stone with a wide desktop in the center of the stream hole, which is very flat. Because it has been cut, it is like a clock, facing the "stone" of Andromeda Peak. Legend has it that on the first day of October every year, people can sit on this stone and watch the dancing fairy, which is intoxicating and lingering. There is also the site of the New Fourth Army under the Fairy Peak. At the beginning of liberation, a company was fighting bandits and fighting bandits in the corner of Fairy Peak. What is even more fascinating is that there are many big stones in the stream for 3-5 people to camp. At this time, people take the blue sky and forest as the quilt, rocks and green grass as the bed, lying on the rocks freely, listening to the whispers of running water and flowers and birds, smelling the flowers and enjoying the paradise on earth. How cozy it is. In order to develop tourism, the government has developed ecological leisure tourist spots here, and the infrastructure such as roads, water and electricity has been basically completed. It has been decided to take this as a leader and gradually spread to the surrounding scenic spots, such as Kanluoji, Wuyong Pagoda, Eighteen Bends of Ancient House, damao mountain, Jinshouhuang Ancestral Hall, Zhangshuwang, etc., thus forming another humanistic and ecological scenic spot in Xiang 'an District.
