Located in Xinyang City, central China’s Henan Province, Jigong Mountain is a haven of natural beauty and biodiversity. Renowned for its remarkable eight natural landscapes—the Brocken bow, sea of clouds, rime, sleet, sunglow, exotic flowers and plants, strange mountain peaks, and waterfalls—this mountain offers visitors an unforgettable experience.
Often referred to as a “natural botanical garden and natural herb garden,” Jigong Mountain boasts a vegetation coverage rate as high as 90 percent. It is home to over 2,000 species of precious plants, serving as a vast natural green gene pool. The lush greenery and rich biodiversity make it a perfect destination for nature enthusiasts and botanical researchers alike.
The mountain’s most captivating feature, the sea of clouds, creates a surreal and enchanting atmosphere. As mist blankets the peaks, visitors can witness the stunning interplay of light and shadow, often accompanied by the rare Brocken bow phenomenon—a type of circular rainbow that adds to the mystical allure of the landscape.
Whether you’re a traveler seeking breathtaking vistas, a culture enthusiast exploring China’s natural wonders, or a scholar interested in plant diversity, Jigong Mountain invites you to immerse yourself in its majestic splendor.
