Wu added that there has never been a forest fire at Fanjing Mountain, of which 95 percent is covered by forest.
"Overall, the locals' living standards have improved due to the opening of farmhouses, forest tourism, and reduced forest destruction," Wu said.
Whether it's to soak in this raw marvel, let out a good sweat hiking, or to take Instagram-worthy pictures, Fanjing Mountain is a million times over worth the trip.
And I must say: it lived up to its entry (China's only tourist destination, in fact) to the National Geographic's "Best Trips in 2019."
