The Green Bamboo Sea in Shunan Nature Preservation Zone

Most part of the Green Bamboo Sea in Shunan is located 20 kilom away to the south of Changning County. The scenic spot is a sea of bamboos with green bamboos all year round, which is rare in China. Huang Tingjian, a poet in Northern Song Dynasty, was so impressed by the scene that he commented, “The waves of the bamboo spread to thousands of miles, which inebriates me like good wine”. Legend has it that he used a broom as a pen and wrote three huge characters, “Wan Ling Jing”on the Huangsan Stone.
The Bamboo Sea has already been listed in the best scenic spots in China. And another three new scenic spots like“Guabang Rock” are developed. With authorization of the State Department, the Bamboo Sea has formally become the first National Nature Preservation Zone mainly for protecting bamboo ecosystem. The nature preservation zone has the biggest natural bamboo ecosystem in China, which is also rare in the world. Clumping, Running and Mixing Bamboos are distributed in the zone. The special types of bamboo are Cifang Bamboo, Qiong Bamboo, Ci Bamboo and other types of ancient bamboo in the 1,300 square meter primitive jungles. An ecosystem of various plants has formed.
