These rare plants make botanists relax and get close. From 65438 to 0990, Professor Han, an expert on geographical plants and Anhui Normal University, led experts to inspect Banqiao many times and spoke highly of this undeveloped virgin land. In particular, he wrote to the first-class secondary forest: this is the only remaining primary forest in the north of the subtropical zone in China, and "we must never lose our green position again." Banqiao scenery 1 green mountains and green waters, colorful, charming poetry, legendary and mysterious. The highest mountain in Banqiao Nature Reserve is Gao Feng: located in the northeast of virgin forest, with an altitude of1153m. Climb to the top of this peak on a sunny day, looking at the majestic posture of Huangshan Mountain in the south and the smoke from the Yangtze River in the north; Looking at Tianmu Mountain in the east and Jiuhua Xia Yun in the west. There is a temple on the top of the mountain. Monks said that this peak was originally a Buddhist holy place, and emperors of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties either forgave or sealed the temple here. Therefore, the incense has been strong and tourists have gathered. Only at 1944, the 52nd Division of the Kuomintang surrounded the New Fourth Army and set fire to the Millennium Temple. According to local people, there is one of the most mysterious places in Banqiao, which is the primitive secondary forest. Located at the foot of the mountain peak in the south of Banqiao Village, with a total area of about1200mu, it is divided into three parts: Dayangpai, Yang Keng and 450. Here, there are green mountains and green waters, clouds piled up and cliffs like waterfalls. People call it "the Gate of Hell". The ancient trees with thick buckets are so dense that it is difficult to count them. The thick vines at the mouth of the bowl climb each other and tightly wrap the ancient trees, as if afraid that the ancient trees will fly far away. Groups of monkeys are swinging on the branches. According to the preliminary research data of experts, there are 483 species of plants here, of which 196 are endemic to China; There are 10 species which have been clearly identified as national protected plants. Among the rare animals, there are 65 species of birds, and 23 species are under special state protection. There are 40 species of mammals, 9 of which are protected by the state. Common ones are white-necked long-tailed pheasant, red-winged cuckoo, red-bellied eagle, spotted snipe and clouded leopard, black muntjac, elk, leopard cat and so on. Several small waterfalls converge into a stream, and the cold stream overflows, reflecting the original traces of the lonely and monotonous life for thousands of years. The trees here grow in disorder and stagger. Although it's sunny outside in Wan Li, there is no sunshine here, which makes people confused whether it's quiet or sinister. The fallen leaves accumulated for many years have thickly covered every inch of land, been mildewed by rain and snow, and have a disgusting smell all year round. Mosquitoes and flies fly like clouds, and the sound of strange animals is far away and near, which makes people shudder. Few people have been here except a few bold hunters. Some people here see gorillas and other animals standing and walking taller than those who pick fruit chestnuts in the forest, and they are scared to flee everywhere. Someone once walked into this forest and never came back. So some people say that the missing person was eaten by the "savage", which is creepy. Among more than ten brigades in Banqiao Village (hometown, later merged into Tang Fang Township, later changed to Village), the scenery of the fourth group (Mid-Levels) in Banqiao Village is the most unique, with huge stones and waterfalls. Go north from the Mid-levels, climb about 15 miles along the mountain road (there are scenic spots such as Tianlin, Primitive Forest, Wu Liting and Shiliting on the way), and you will arrive at a relatively novel place. The peak is not only the output of famous people such as winter bamboo shoots and alpine tea, but also a valuable material and cultural heritage-Baiyun Temple. Its temples have gone through hundreds of years, and the incense is enduring. Every year on February 19 (traditional festival Guanyin Festival), pilgrims from far and near come here to pray.
