China attractions - Dawei Bends is also called Shoubi Mountain, standing tall and upright on the boundary of Changsha and Jiangxi, 148 kilometers away from Changsha. And the Dawei Bends National Forest Park was set up in July 1992 with the approval of the Ministry of Forestry. Dawei Bends has been a sacred place of Buddhism in the eastern part of the province and a total of 48 temples or ruins of temples are still preserved, of which the Yuquan Temple and Honglian Temple are well known both at home and abroad. Du Guangting of the Southern Song Dy nasty in his book "The Mysterious Caves and Happy Land" said that Dawei Mountains are the thirteenth of the 36 caves (heavens) under the sun. The mountain is a combination of wonderful peaks, clear waters, quiet wood and grotesque rocks, having a total of 91 scenes and places of interest. In the summer (July), the average temperature is 23 degrees Centigrade, and it is an ideal summer resort and a good place for sightseeing and convalescence. The park is well equipped with power and communication facilities and the water resources are abundant, and now, it has been built into Dawei Mountains Tourist and Holiday Resort.

Dawei Bends is also a natural museum of animals and plants. More than 3,000 species of plants and 60 species of wildlife animals have been found up till now.

Between the mountains is a gentle and wide place that forms a small plain about 10—20 kilometers in length and breadth. Numerous strange mountains and peculiar stones and more than 100 running springs and waterfalls are inlaid in the high mountains and sheer ridges. There is a Tianxing Lake on the small plain at the top of Dawei Mountain. In autumn, fluffy ends of reed on the lake bank fly as if it is snowing, so it is praised as "Snow Shade of West Mount". While in midsummer, Five-finger Stone Mount, at the elevation of 1515 meters, is covered with purple and flaming azalea. However, the northland landscape will be obviously shown in winter with jade-like trees and snow white branches everywhere.
