Official announcement: The Limutai Forest Health and Wellness Trail is now open!

2020-05-18

Official Announcement: The Limutai Forest Health and Wellness Trail is now open! During the May Day holiday, the forest health and wellness trail at Limutai—constructed over nearly a year—was officially opened for visitors to enjoy. Built as a wooden boardwalk that winds alongside streams and through forests, the trail spans the scenic area’s largest pond, Taiping Pool, with a total length of 1,500 meters. The path meanders through lush, verdant vegetation arranged in multiple layers: towering trees, dense shrubs, low-lying herbs, delicate lichens, and climbing vines intermingle to create an expansive forest landscape. Limutai preserves a remarkably intact primeval forest ecosystem, home to more than 1,000 plant species across over 130 families, encompassing tropical, subtropical, temperate, warm‑temperate, and even cold‑zone flora. This rich biodiversity nurtures thousands of rare species, including such uncommon northern Chinese plants as wild kiwifruit and fringe tree, cold‑zone species like dragon tooth grass and ground melon, the endangered national protected plant two‑leafed tongue orchid, the second‑class nationally protected herb Cistanche, as well as familiar trees and plants such as white wax tree, walnut, larch, Chinese club moss, and begonias. These diverse species thrive freely within the forest, releasing negative oxygen ions, purifying the air, and creating a vibrant green canopy that soothes both body and mind. As visitors stroll along the health and wellness trail, they can get up close with these remarkable plants and learn fascinating scientific facts and natural secrets from interpretive information boards placed along the route—turning the trail into a living classroom for ecological education. Through this intimate interaction between humans and nature, the vitality of the natural world inspires a profound sense of harmony between humanity and the environment. The trail follows the mountain’s contours, winding gracefully and offering ever‑changing vistas. Walking along it, you feel enveloped by layers of greenery, breathing fresh air infused with the fragrances of plants, allowing you to deeply connect with nature’s beauty while enjoying low‑carbon, eco‑friendly, and convenient aerobic exercise that uplifts your spirit and strengthens your body. At the same time, this trail will completely resolve the longstanding issue of mixed pedestrian and vehicle traffic on the sightseeing‑car route. From now on, only vehicles will be visible, with no pedestrians sharing the path, ensuring clear separation between people and cars, enhancing operational safety, and elevating the overall visitor experience. Going forward, visitors will have two options for reaching the heart of the forest: take the sightseeing car for a quick ride that whisks them to mid‑mountain in minutes, saving time and effort; or walk along this pristine health and wellness trail, strolling leisurely while soaking in the scenic beauty of the woods—a relaxed and carefree way to explore.

In the fourth month of the lunar calendar, did “snow” really fall at Limutai?

2020-05-18

In the fourth month of the lunar calendar, did “snow” really fall on Limutai? Spread the word—quickly! The fringe trees at Limutai are in bloom! Their blossoms cover the entire canopy, looking as if draped in white snow. Against the backdrop of fresh greenery spreading across the hills, they stand out strikingly. A thousand miles of fringe trees lean against the screen-like mountains, their fragrant blooms stirring up a trail of scent. Everywhere you look, flower shadows flutter like falling snow, swaying gently in the breeze. They resemble clouds, each one uniquely graceful, harmonizing with the clear wind and bright sun, carrying with them waves of floral fragrance. Standing beneath the trees and lifting your head, you’re greeted by a sky full of pure, exquisite beauty. Close your eyes softly, and listen closely to the gentle breeze— its delicate, ethereal charm is enough to enchant even the most ardent flower lover. So beautiful, it feels far removed from the mundane world, yet so captivating that you can’t bear to leave this earthly realm. It suddenly brings to mind the exquisitely intelligent and stunning woman in “Love in the Rain,” and evokes Xi Murong’s poem, “A Tree in Blossom.” Fringe trees are among the oldest living tree species on Earth, and they’re also designated as a national second-class protected plant. They bloom at the cusp of spring and summer, their white petals unfurling gracefully like delicate tassels—hence the name “fringe tree.” Clusters of blossoms spread out in grand swathes, resembling a blanket of snow, which is why they’re also known as “April Snow.” The fragrance of fringe flowers is incredibly subtle; even when the blossoms are abundant like clouds, their scent remains light and elegant. The language of fringe flowers is “nostalgia for the past.” They bloom tree after tree, quietly marking the passing seasons of Limutai through the cycle of blooming and fading. As long as we give them a little extra care, we can be sure that in years to come, they will once again experience countless cycles of flowering and falling. Flowers bloom like clouds, and when they fall, they resemble snow. Right now is the prime time to admire the fringe blossoms at Limutai, with the flowering period lasting roughly a week. People find happiness in flowers, and flowers become even more beautiful when admired by others. Blooming is both the most wonderful—and fleeting—of all things. So if you can, don’t miss this magnificent floral spectacle.
