Goulou Peak is located within Hengyang County, only 40 kilometers from the urban area of Hengyang. Entering Goulou Peak, what first appears before your eyes are rolling mountains and a vast sea of forest. Its rich forest resources have now formed Goulou Peak's uniquely advantageous forest tourism appeal. The park currently has a forest area of 1,987 hectares, with abundant tree species resources, including more than 300 species of plants, representing the tree species of the entire southern Hunan region.
On the mountain, rare flowers and grasses, the Yu Stele, Yu Spring, grotesque rocks, and ancient trees delight the eye and make one marvel at their excellence. Below Baishi Peak, the Sanmen Temple Reservoir stretches vast and misty, with green mountains and clear waters, an excellent place for leisure, summer retreats, boating, and fishing. No wonder the ancients left a poem saying: Among the world's true landscapes, Goulou Peak alone is peerless.
