It was also a favourite summer holiday spot during the Qing Dynasty. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the tourism and holiday business has developed apace. Mount Nan Pasture has seen visits from Chinese leaders, as well as domestic and foreign .You can enjoy a ride through the valleys on a horse or a camel, wander across the woods picking mushrooms and enjoying the magical wild flowers, and climb up the mountain for trekking. Whatever you choose to do, you are assured wonderful panoramic views that will take your breath away. The White Willow Ditch provides welcome respite from the summer heat with its dense foliage and shrubbery. A 40 metre-high, 2 metre-wide waterfall cascades from the top of the mountain, and often generates a great deal of fog. When the sun is directly above the waterfall, rain is created, providing a unique sight for tourists.
