Mengshan National Forest Park was approved by the Forestry Department of the former National Tourism Administration in February 1994, listed as a "provincial scenic spot" by the Shandong Provincial People's Government in June, and awarded "Top Ten New Scenic Spots in Shandong Province" by the Provincial Tourism Administration in September 2002. Now it is a national AAAA-level tourist area. In 2005, it was awarded the second place in "Top Ten Most Beautiful Places in Shandong" by news media and senior experts. The park covers a total area of 55,000 mu and is rich in natural resources. It has wild animals: 10 family, 15 species of mammals, 76 species of birds, 100 family and more than 900 species of plants. The forest vegetation coverage rate is over 95%, and it is known as "a hundred-mile forest, a natural classroom". During the period of 1999, the negative ion content in the air of the scenic spot was 854 167 per cubic centimeter, which was 195 times that of Beijing, ranking first in China and the highest value ever measured by the center. Known as "natural oxygen bar" and "ultra-clean area", it has become "the best green fitness tourist resort in China".
Mengshan National Forest Park belongs to warm temperate monsoon continental climate, with annual average temperature 12.8 degrees Celsius, frost-free period 196 days, and annual average precipitation of 998 mm. Four distinct seasons, mild climate and abundant rainfall. There has always been a folk saying that "seventy-two flowers rain", which has formed a harmonious ecological virtuous circle. In the park, mountains, water and forests are closely related, and the organic integration of big and small, high and low, dynamic and static, living and inanimate makes every grass, tree and stone a perfect scenic spot. Male, strange, special, rare, handsome and simple, everything comes from nature and melts into nature. Ancient temples in deep mountains, small bridges and flowing water, trees that cover the sun, fragrant flower hooves, birds singing in the valley and the sound of waves make people return to nature and enjoy it.
Mengshan National Forest Park, with overlapping peaks and deep streams, was called "72 peaks", "99 valleys" and "36 caves" in ancient times. At present, the scenic spots include water curtain cave, Wang Yu Temple, Yunmeng Peak, Baihuayu, Laolongtan and Wanghailou, and there are eight natural landscapes: Mengshan Diecui, Mengshan Flower Tide, Mengshan Waterfall, Mengshan Sea of Clouds, Mengshan Sunrise, Mengshan Tingtao, Mengshan Autumn Colors and Xuefeng Jade Valley. At present, more than 80 scenic spots/kloc-0 have been developed, including water curtain cave, Wang Yu Temple, Dayun Feng Meng, Tianhu Peak, Qifeng Mountain, Mengshan Sleeping Buddha, Mengshan Ape, Shaojiazhai, Mengshanlong, Baizhang Cliff, Bathing Man and Xianchi. Among them, water curtain cave Waterfall (also known as China Waterfall: the cliff is similar to that in China) is an extremely rare triple waterfall in Jiangbei, with a height of 60 meters. When flying, it is like the Milky Way hanging upside down, magnificent and spectacular. The upper end of Baizhang Cliff, located at the upper left of Mengshan Cascade Waterfall, naturally opens into an arched portal. It is said that this cave opens every 500 years, and when it opens, the sky will fall apart. According to legend, the old Wang Zu Zen, a ghost fairy, practiced vertical and horizontal skills in the cave. It was here that Sun Bin, a strategist during the Warring States Period, and Pang Juan, a general of Wei State, paid homage to the bodhi old zu of Wang Chan. Wang Yu Temple, located in a ravine over 850 meters above sea level, was built in the Ming and Jin Dynasties, with strong incense and long bells. It is a Taoist cultural resort. There are three treasures in Wang Yu Temple: Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, which was found when the temple was built. Its rhizome is longer than the base of the temple, and its diameter is as large as the mouth of a washbasin, resembling a human figure, and male and female are paired; The first fir planted by Taoist priests 300 years ago is unique in Jiangbei, and now it is a scientific research project of Academy of Forestry. The 800-year-old well has never dried up, and the water quality is clear and sweet. Because it combines the essence of the sun and the moon with the aura of heaven and earth, it can eliminate diseases and disasters and prolong life, and is regarded as "divine water". Yunmeng Peak has a combination of three peaks and two peaks, which are arranged in the southeast and northwest directions. The three peaks, such as columns, stand in the shape of a mountain, which is called the source of the word "mountain" in Shandong. Gong Nai, a great writer in Ming Dynasty, sat on his back and praised Yunmeng. He said: "The highest peak in Mengshan is Shuangfeng, with thousands of smoke clouds on it. I stand with the peak, but I count the hibiscus in the sky. " "Shuangfeng" is the big and small clouds and Mengfeng. Besides, Dayun Feng Meng looks like a giant birthday girl, lying on his back in the southeast, while Xiaoyun Feng Meng looks like a giant ape, screaming in the southeast. There are thousands of scenery in the scenic area, and the scenery changes all year round: in spring, the mountains are green and the flowers are boundless; In summer, waterfalls are flowing with clouds; In autumn, the mountains are blue and the red leaves are reflected; In winter, it is wrapped in silver and carved with jade and ice. Set "the majesty of Mount Tai, the preciseness of Huashan, the beauty of Huangshan and the wonder of Yandang Mountain" in one, and set the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan and Jiangbei in one.
Mengshan is rich in natural resources and contains profound cultural connotations. There were emperors, generals and literati who lived in Mengshan and recited Mengshan. Confucius said that "Dongshan (Mengshan, called Dongshan and Dongmeng in ancient times) is a path", while Li Bai and Du Fu traveled to Mengshan, leaving beautiful sentences such as "Get drunk before sleeping in the autumn quilt and walk hand in hand with the sun". When Su Shi visited Mengshan, he said, "Don't be surprised by the changes in the Bohai Sea. Let's see how the clouds leak." Gong Nai, a writer in Ming Dynasty, once wrote & gt sigh Mengshan; Emperor Kangxi visited Mengshan in winter, leaving a poem "Horseshoe breaks Qiongyao Road and breaks the peak of Mengshan"; Emperor Qianlong visited Mengshan in the south, leaving behind a hymn that "the mountain gods covered the jade peak without violating Yao's orders", as well as folk allusions, which are too numerous to mention. Qin bricks, Han tiles, ancient temples and stone tablets have a long history.
