synonymBaishi Mountain Scenic Area(Laiyuan County, Hebei Province) generally refers to Baishi Mountain (China's 5A level tourist attraction)
Baishi Mountain is located 15 kilometers south of Laiyuan County, Baoding City, Hebei Province,Taihang MountainThe northernmost part is composed of more than 100 relatively independent mountains with scattered heights. The main peak is 2096 meters above sea level.During the Warring States Period, Yanzhao was divided into two mountains, and during the Liao and Song Dynasties, two countries were divided into one mountain.
Baishi Mountain is named after white marble, which is marble structure peak forest landform, and is a new type of peak forest landform in China.Baishi Mountain is tall, with few curves, many edges and corners, large height difference, and large density. It has "three peaks, six platforms, nine valleys, and eighty one peaks".

Baishi Mountain Scenic Area
Geology and geomorphology
The marble peak forest in the core of Baishi Mountain is in the original natural state, known as "Sigezhuang rock mass", which is the marble peak forest landform and a new type of peak forest landform in China.Baishi Mountain is a tall mountain with "three peaks, six platforms, nine valleys and eighty one peaks". The main ridge is more than 7000 meters long. The highest peak, Foguangding, is 2096 meters above sea levelNorth China PlainThe dragon head of the northwest uplift.[3]
The Mesoproterozoic Wuyishan Baiyunshan rocks were affected by regional metamorphism 1.1 billion years ago.The intrusion of granite in the Mesozoic Yanshanian period (about 140 million years ago) metamorphosed dolomite. The closer it is to granite, the stronger the metamorphism is, and white dolomitic marble is formed by fading, and radioactive wollastonite of contact metamorphic ore is formed locally.This is the material basis of the peak forest landform of Baishi Mountain, hence the name of Baishi Mountain.The occurrence of dolomitic marble is gentle, and the nearly horizontal stratum layer establishes the stability of vertical superposition of peak rock layers.The two groups of vertical joints developed by the later tectonism in the dolomitic marble control the development of dangerous rocks on the rock peak wall. Under the long-term surface water erosion, gravity collapse and weathering, the marble peak forest landform spectacle was formed.[5]
Climatic characteristics
Baishi Mountain belongs to the warm temperate semi humid monsoon climate zone, with obvious mountain climate characteristics.The annual average temperature of Baishi Mountain is 21.6 ℃.[7]

plant resources
Baishi Mountain Scenic Area belongs to temperate coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest zone, with a forest area of 28000 mu,[3]There are more than 50 kinds of trees, shrubs and herbs available for viewing.The main plant types in Baishi Mountain Scenic Area include subalpine meadow, coniferous forest, broad-leaved forest, deciduous shrub, dry shrub and grassland in mountain area and cultivated vegetation.The main tree species are Larix principis rupprechtii, Pinus tabulaeformis, Betula platyphylla, Betula platyphylla, Quercus quercus, Quercus mongolica, Tilia mongolica, Populus davidiana, Willow, etc;Shrubs include Hedysarum, Vitex, Hazelnut, Lespedeza, Lespedeza breviflora, Spiraea trifida, Spiraea chinensis, Rosa rugosa, Rosa grandiflora, Caragana heterophylla, etc;There are many kinds of herbs, especially Gramineae and Compositae;Common species include white sheep grass, carex, blue thorn, delphinium, etc. There are also a variety of fungus plants in the Baishi Mountain scenic spot, such as pine mushroom, cloud mushroom, etc.
Vegetation in Baishi Mountain is vertically distributed, and pinus tabulaeformis forests are mostly distributed on sunny slopes and semi sunny slopes at an altitude of 1000 meters to 1500 meters, which are mostly artificial young forests.Quercus quercus forest is distributed on mountain ridges and hillsides at an altitude of 1300-1500 meters;The shady slopes and semi shady slopes with an altitude of 1400-1900m grow birch forests, and the shrubbery mainly consists of six trees;There is a large area of larch forest on the shady slope of Nianpanwa at an altitude of 1600-1800 meters;Subalpine meadow is distributed on the top of the mountain above the larch forest.[8]
Animal resources
There are first class national protected animals, North China leopard, and a large number of goats, badgers, roe deer, golden pheasants, mountain hares and other animals in Baishi Mountain.[3]

overview
The main scenic spots of Baishi Mountain include peak forest, Juma source, Shipu Gorge and other scenic spots.
The whole mountain body of Baishi Mountain presents a "double-layer structure". The upper part is a white, nearly horizontal chert strip marble formed 1 billion years ago, and the lower part is a flesh red granite formed by magma intrusion 140 million years ago.The granite becomes a base, supporting the marble peak forest above.[8]
Baishi Mountain is composed of more than 100 relatively independent peaks with scattered heights.The main peak is 2096 meters above sea level, with the height of Guiguichou 2057 meters and the height of the viewing platform 2091 meters.The walls of the peaks are mostly straight up and down, with edges and corners. The steep walls stand like knives and axes.[5]The peak forest fall difference can reach 600 meters.
mist
baishi mountain
"White stone and clear cloud" is the first of the twelve beautiful sceneries in ancient Laiyuan.
Two thirds of the weather of Baishi Mountain in summer will be cloudy, which is determined by the special natural conditions of Baishi Mountain. Clouds hover around the top of Baishi Mountain. When the sun shines, the peaks in the cloud sea are like sails and boats.[8]
Reject horse source
The Juma source group includes Lai source, Yi source and Juma source. It was formed after the Yanshan movement about 140 million years ago and is a rising spring controlled by structural faults.[5]The area of the horse resisting source group is 6 square kilometers. The temperature difference between the water temperature of the horse resisting source and the outside world is large and the fog is transpiration.Therefore, the Juma River is the longest ice free river in northern China.
Ten Waterfall Gorge
Shipu Gorge is a grand canyon in granite structure. Its water source is Longhu Spring at 1400 meters above sea level. It is fissure water in granite body and flows out along joints in rock mass.[5]The stream in the Ten Waterfall Gorge flows 4000 meters between mountains and rocks. The ten waterfalls are stacked one after another. There is a pool on the waterfall, and the pool flows into a waterfall.The fall of Feilong Waterfall is 48 meters, and the waterfall face is 3 meters wide;Shuanglong Waterfall falls in two stages, with a drop of 60m.[5]

build
In 2000, the Baishi Mountain Scenic Area was paved with a walking road of more than 7000 meters long, consisting of 7000 multi-stage steps, plank roads, tunnels and cable bridges.
On May 10, 2014, the glass plank road was built in Baishi Mountain.
On September 15, 2014, the Baishi Mountain Glass Plank Road was opened to the public.
Baishi Mountain is named for its white marble.The dolomite cover in the upper part of Baishi Mountain was formed in the marine environment 1 billion years ago;Crustal movement caused this dolomite marble to produce more than two groups of vertical joints. In the following hundreds of millions of years, weathering has expanded the vertical cracks, and the rock stratum has become a towering peak;Moreover, these towering peaks just stand in the stableGraniteOn the base, these strange and dangerous peak forests can be preserved in the continuous geological movement.
The white stone of Baishi Mountain is hot magma barbecue during magma intrusionDolostoneThe dolomite is recrystallized and transformed into white marble with uniform grains.However, due to the distance between the top of Baishi MountainMagmaFar away, the fire is not enough. Although the thermal metamorphism has occurred, the pure marble has not been formed, and the dolomite is still layered.
After the magma arches the upper stratum, the broken stratum is gradually eroded and becomesPebble, sandsoilThe granite condensed in the shallow crust gradually "broke through the soil".
