There are countless famous mountains and rivers in China, but the Qinling Mountains will always be the most unique and meaningful one. It is not only an important geographical dividing line between the north and the south of China, but also the father mountain of Chinese civilization. In the middle of Chinese territory, Qinling Mountain is the highest mountain range from west to east, and it is also the only east-west mountain range. It is not only the dividing line between people and the north, but also the dividing line between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the dividing line between climate and animal areas.
There are countless herbivores, carnivores and the richest chickens in the world in the alpine forests of Qinling Mountains. Animals are still like this, let alone plants. The ancients said: "There is no idle grass in Qinling, and there are not only many kinds of plants in Qinling, but also unique. The national treasure panda has changed from untouchable to the daily life of residents.
Foping Scenic Area Visit Foping Scenic Area and watch animals such as giant pandas. The giant panda is our national treasure and one of the symbols of China. Many people may think that the giant panda is a specialty of Sichuan. In fact, Qinling Mountain is the place with the highest population density and the highest latitude where giant pandas are distributed. If you want to see giant pandas in the wild, Foping will be the best place to witness them. Giant pandas eat half the time every day, and the other half is basically spent in sleep. When in the wild, the giant panda basically sleeps for 2 to 4 hours before getting up for a meal, which is a mode of sleeping while eating. When they sleep, lying flat, lying on their side, prone, stretching or curled up are their best ways to sleep. In the zoo, keepers feed regularly every day, so they can rest and sleep longer, because they don't have to walk around looking for food.
Because when I sleep, I will put my furry body in various postures. My favorite posture is to support my legs on a tree and cover my eyes with my hands. It is because all the postures are so cute that everyone likes such a cute giant panda.
The face value of Foping golden monkey is much higher than other places, but the peak time should be summer, and that time is also the time to see MengMeng monkeys. Little golden silk monkeys are usually born from February to April, so when June comes, you can see many little monkeys crawling around. Although it is not late autumn in the mountains of 5438+ 10, it is much colder than outside, so the monkeys all look bloated. The golden monkeys here are generally only half full, and the rest can find food to satisfy their hunger. Feeding them too much food will make them too lazy and dependent on human life, which is not the original intention of the reserve. So although there are many golden monkeys living here, in fact, everyone still keeps a cold distance.
