Qingliangfeng Ziran Baohuqu, Mountain nature reserve in Anhui Province, China.
Qingliangfeng is a nature reserve in Anhui that protects a varied landscape across different elevations. The terrain transitions from dense forests at lower altitudes to open mountain grasslands at higher elevations, creating multiple distinct environments.
The site gained regional protection in 1979 and received national status in 2007 to better safeguard its forests and rare species. This upgrade reflected growing recognition of its ecological value.
Local villagers in Shangtan maintain traditional agricultural practices within designated areas of the reserve, continuing centuries-old farming methods.
Visitors should expect changing weather and varying conditions depending on elevation. Sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate gear are essential since exposure and trail conditions vary significantly with the season.
Four rivers within the reserve form essential water sources for the Xin'an River system, supporting water quality for communities downstream.
