Qianling Mount Park, located in the northwest corner of Guiyang, is a good choice for residents to enjoy nature and relax.

The park was built in 1957 and is home to more than 1,500 species of trees and flowers, and 1,000 kinds of herbs. Hordes of macaques and birds also make their home there.

Natural scenic spots including lakes, springs and caves are scattered around the park, which is also accompanied by temples, bridges and a zoo.

In addition to pristine landscapes, complicated geological structures can also be viewed there, making it a suitable site for geological and species research.
