The territory has high mountains and dense forests, cool summer and snowy winter, elegant environment and picturesque scenery, and the natural landscape is both heroic, dangerous, secluded, beautiful and wild. Comrade Lu Dingyi, a proletarian revolutionary of the older generation, praised it as a combination of "the hero of Mount Tai, the danger of Mount Hua, the seclusion of Mount Lushan and the beauty of Mount Emei", which is a new eco-tourism resort in South China in recent years.
1. Natural landscape
Dangerous and steep mountain landscape: Maoer Mountain is the main peak of Yuechengling, and the highest peak, Shenmao Peak, is 2141.5 meters above sea level. The mountain is mainly composed of granite in the early Paleozoic Caledonian movement 5 million years ago, with ancient strata, long and narrow mountains and high peaks. There are 1 peaks above 2 meters above sea level and 68 peaks above 1 meters above sea level. The vertical elevation difference at the top and foot of Maoershan Mountain is 1861.5 meters. The mountain is huge, the peaks are undulating, towering and magnificent. The nature has been weathered and carved for hundreds of millions of years. The mountains are full of rocky peaks, cliffs and cliffs, and there are dozens of geological landscapes such as strange peaks, cliffs and boulders. The main peak looks like a giant cat crawling, beautiful in shape and magnificent in momentum; The peak of the mountain rises to the sky, majestic and straight, the cliffs of the Buddha's Light Platform are as sharp as a cliff, and the cliffs of Xianchou are deep and dangerous. The whole mountain landscape has the characteristics of high mountains, high peaks, dangerous cliffs and strange rocks. The unique mountain environment and climatic conditions in Maoer Mountain have formed many beautiful meteorological landscapes. Its sunrise, sunset glow, sea of clouds, misty rain, ice and snow are all of great landscape value. The weather on the mountain is changing rapidly, and it is unpredictable. The mountains and valleys are often filled with smoke and clouds, and the weather is myriad. In the foggy season of spring and summer, if the sun shines obliquely, a magical "Buddha light" landscape is often formed in the area of Foguang Peak, with seven colors of auspicious light and colorful rings, which is like a dream. In winter, there is heavy snow falling every year in Maoer Mountain, accompanied by the wonders of fog and song. The top of the mountain is surrounded by well-proportioned trees, wrapped in white, and extraordinarily enchanting. It is the best snow-watching resort in Lingnan.
Forest Kingdom: The unique mountain environment and suitable climate of Maoer Mountain provide an excellent shelter environment for wildlife, and the biological resources are extremely rich. According to the investigation, there are 311 species of wild vertebrates, 212 species of vascular plants, 32 species of national key protected plants and 191 species of national key protected wild animals, which is a huge natural animal and plant kingdom. Primitive Linhai: Maoershan National Nature Reserve has a vast forest with a forest coverage rate of 96.5%. The area is far away from villages, with no arable land and few people. Most of the mountainous areas have preserved their original features, with 15,158 hectares of virgin forest, which is one of the largest and most original virgin forest areas in Guangxi. The ancient trees in the forest are towering, shaded by the sun, quiet and quiet, with dead trees and rotten trees all over the place, and the leaves are like blankets, which is a primitive wilderness. Hemlock in Bajiaotian is green and tall, which is one of the largest primary hemlock pure forests in China.
vertical vegetation landscape: the vertical landscape of Maoer Mountain is obvious. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are many kinds of vegetation landscapes, such as Phyllostachys pubescens, Cunninghamia lanceolata, evergreen broad-leaved forest, evergreen deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest, coniferous forest, fresh and short forest on the top of the mountain, irrigated by meadow and so on. The seasonal changes are colorful and the forest canopy is colorful. Rhododendron Sea: Maoershan is rich in wild rhododendron resources.

Every summer, rhododendrons of all colors compete to bloom. Colorful and colorful, the mountains are covered with colors, forming a gorgeous ten-mile azalea gallery, which is fascinating.
2. Lingxiu Waterscape
Maoershan is the birthplace of Lijiang River, Zijiang River and Xunjiang River, and it is also an important source of Liujiang River. The water system is very developed, with 39 main rivers. The unique topography makes streams and valleys deep, with huge drop and fast flowing water. Under the protection and conservation of forest vegetation, the flowing water flows all the year round, clear and transparent.
the source of Lijiang river: Maoer mountain is the source of Lijiang river, which originates from the alpine undergrowth wetland in Bajiaotian at the top of the mountain. The steep mountain of Maoer Mountain becomes a gentle platform at the top of the mountain, presenting a typical river source landform and forming a rare mountain swamp landscape in the south. The mossy undergrowth with minimal topographic relief is criss-crossed by streams, densely covered with ponds, soft and deep mire and charcoal soil, which has stored millions of cubic meters of water. The Lijiang River, with its beautiful scenery, originated from this magical and wild primitive dwarf swamp.
Shanmu River Shili Gorge: Shanmu River is the main source of Lijiang River, with high mountains and deep valleys, and a great gap between streams. In the nature reserve, the distance is only 6 kilometers, and the elevation is reduced from 2, meters to 5 meters, forming a series of various waterfalls, such as Heigang Waterfall, Jianlong Waterfall, Longjiu Waterfall and Triple Flying Springs, all with a gap of more than 2 meters. Springs hang high between canyons and silver waterfalls. Or singing or rumbling, the waterscape is connected with motion and sound, and it is more clear and bright in the dense virgin forest, which is called "Shili Canyon".
longtangjiang waterfall: longtangjiang is also one of the sources. Surrounded by cliffs on three sides, the canyon is deep and narrow, and the mountain stream flies down from the cliff, with a drop of more than 2 meters. It falls straight to the bottom of the pool, such as white hanging, thundering, spectacular, unfathomable, quiet and blue, and fish swarming. It is a very attractive landscape wonder.
3. Cultural landscape
The old road of the Long March in the Laoshan boundary: The Laoshan boundary in Maoershan is the first mountain that the Red Army crossed on the way to the Long March. On December 4-8, 1943, the Long March of the Central Red Army, led by Zhu De and Zhou Enlai, passed through Maoershan, crossing the Laoshan boundary in three ways, the Red Fifth Army Corps and the Central Cadre Corps. One of the Eighth Army Corps fought fiercely with the Kuomintang in the Laoshan boundary for two days, and only left the Laoshan boundary on December 8. At present, Qianjia Temple, Xinwenjiadong and Tongren Hengyang Hall in Huajiang Township at the southern foot of Maoershan Mountain all retain the slogan of the Red Army. According to the investigation, the old house in Tongren Darangtun was the residence of Mao Zedong and Zhu De. When the army crossed the Laoshan boundary, it suffered hardships. Comrade Lu Dingyi, a proletarian revolutionary of the older generation, wrote a famous chapter "Laoshan Boundary" for this purpose. At present, the Red Army Pavilion and Laoshan Boundary Monument are built in Laoshan boundary, which is a revolutionary site and a traditional education base with azaleas like fire in spring and picturesque scenery in four seasons.
Flying Tigers crash site during the Anti-Japanese War: On October 2, 1996, Pan Qibin and Jiang Jun, farmers of Yao nationality in Huajiang, collected medicine in Heishanya (Xianrenchou) in Maoershan Nature Reserve, and accidentally found the wreckage of a fighter plane in the virgin jungle. After investigation by relevant departments, it was identified as the wreckage of the US military aircraft during World War II. In November 1996, * * * and Clinton reported the discovery. Since then, with the assistance of the China government and people, the Office of Defense for Missing Persons of the US Department of Defense has sent personnel to Maoershan twice to search. The wreckage of the plane was scattered about 1828 meters near the Black Cliff in Daiyun Mountain, including many machine guns, machine guns, bombs, engines, relics and remains of several US Air Force logistics personnel. It was confirmed that this aircraft was the fighter plane of the "Flying Tigers-American Volunteer Air Force" with the number of 4783, which was bombed by the 35th bombing squadron of the 14th Air Force of the US Army during the Second World War when China and the United States fought against Japanese fascist aggression. On the afternoon of August 31, 1944, after bombing Japanese warships moored in Taiwan Province, the plane mysteriously disappeared on its way back because the Liuzhou base was bombed by Japanese troops and it crashed into a black cliff on the way to Yangtang Airport in Guilin. All ten crew members were killed.
Ancient human site: 5 meters south of Tongren Village, where the Maoershan Nature Reserve Administration is located, is the Da Rangtun ancient human settlement site. It is a terrace surrounded by streams on three sides and backed by Yapo Mountain in Laoshan. There are houses in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty and large osmanthus trees over 1 years above the surrounding terrace, which are picturesque. In 1977, three stone tools, namely a stone, a stone axe and a stone knife, were unearthed in the farmland. They were smooth and smooth, and finely ground. They were identified as cultural relics in the late Neolithic period, dating back 4-1 years, indicating that human life and reproduction existed in Maoershan in ancient times.

Maoershan is a settlement of Yao and Miao people. The villages around the nature reserve are mostly Yao and Miao cottages, and the Yao and Miao people are simple, kind, hospitable and good at singing and dancing. Their dry-column architecture, embroidered Tang suits and colorful skirts are all unique and full of national characteristics. At present, the Yao people in the eastern foot of Maoer Mountain have built a bamboo house and a farmhouse restaurant with Yao garden style, which integrates eating, living and entertainment, and are quite popular with tourists. 5. After investigation, in recent years, in the former site of Qianjia Temple in Huajiang Township, xing an, two ancient forbidden mountain monuments carved in Daoguang Year of Qing Dynasty were found in the inner wall of the current Red Army slogan building. This monument is a historical record of Maoershan people in the middle of Qing Dynasty and the government officials in Xing 'an, Guilin, Guangxi, protecting Maoershan water source forest, which is more than 18 years away from this year and has high historical document value. It is also of great significance to today's nature protection.
scenic route:
1. Transcendental Grand Canyon
The canyon is about five or six kilometers long, with blue water, wide riverbed and lush trees. The developed scenic spots are paved with artificial stone roads. About four or five kilometers is an undeveloped area, and it is forbidden to enter with the guard of the protection station. Offenders will be fined and educated. On October 3rd, an 8-member team descended from the top of the mountain through the valley, and was caught by the personnel of the protection station and clashed. Later, a fine was imposed and a written protest was written. A written protest signed by the group was posted every five or sixty meters in Gaozhai. There are many places suitable for camping in the transcendental grand canyon, and half a day's play in the canyon is enough. Tickets to 3 yuan
2. The foot of the mountain-the old mountain boundary-the old mountain gate-the top of the mountain
According to the administrator, the Grand Canyon is the water source of the Sanjiang River, and it is not allowed to go up the mountain from the transcendental Grand Canyon now to protect the water source. The administrator also told me that if it takes only seven kilometers to go up the mountain from the canyon, most people used to go up the mountain from the canyon, but now they can only go up the mountain from Panshan Highway by car, which is 3 kilometers (26 kilometers on the map), and the lowest price of chartered car is 15 yuan.
3. The play project of Transcendental School Resort

Drifting originally originated from kayaks of Eskimos and bamboo rafts in China, but at that time, it was to meet people's needs of life and survival. Drifting became a real outdoor sport, which began to develop after World War II. Some people who like outdoor activities tried to use retired inflatable rubber boats as drifting tools and gradually evolved into today's water rafting. Driving a boat without power, using paddles to master the direction, drifting down the river in the turbulent and gentle water, and performing wonderful moments in the struggle against nature, this is rafting, a sport for brave people.
Going down the river in a rubber dinghy, the sky is high and the sun is shining, surrounded by green hills on all sides. During the drifting, there is a kind of expectation-expectation and excitement! Looking forward to adventure! Looking forward to fighting with nature! Looking forward to the relaxation after "near misses"! In the busy urban life, what people have been looking for is such an excitement and a unique feeling different from ordinary life. It is such a feeling that people in the city fall for it and make it a part of life

This means that these trees should be cut down or the injured livestock should be isolated during running. Compared with the old method of marking by hand, this method of firing paintballs from cars, trucks or horseback not only improves work efficiency, but also is safer.
In the United States, there is another "SURUIVALGAME" that has been played for a long time. This game involves several people grabbing a flag that is guarded by others. As long as the flag-bearer touches the flag-snatcher with his hand, it indicates that the flag-snatcher has been hit, so he should quit the game field. Finally, whoever wins the flag without being touched is considered a survivor.
in p>1981, Americans BOBGURNSEY and CHARLESGAINES first combined paintball with "survivor's game", which is the origin of the current pitbull shooting. Since then, Pit Beat has developed into a team-based flag-winning sport, and the competition mode has been developing day by day. It began to spread from the United States to all countries in the world.

At first, it was just a car designed for cross-country races, and later it gradually became a racing car, a practical transport vehicle, a family leisure car and so on. Since 198s, various manufacturers began to participate in the production of ATV prototypes for various purposes, which caused its popularity in the American market in 1985-1987, and at the same time, the locomotive changed from three wheels to four wheels. With the increase of four-wheel vehicles, four-wheel drive vehicles that have never appeared before have also developed. Because of the practical demand, the four-wheel drive ATV market has expanded greatly, and now the ATV trend has spread from North America, Europe and Oceania to the whole world. Only at present, this kind of car has not entered the eyes of the public in China.
