The Shitai Guniujiang Scenic Area in Anhui is a national AAAA-level tourist scenic area. It is located in the Guniujiang National Nature Reserve on the magical 30th parallel north latitude and within Shitai County, Chizhou City, one of China’s three major selenium-rich areas. As Guniujiang is the main body of the westward extension of the Huangshan Mountains, and the main peak of Guniujiang at an altitude of 1727 meters is the third-highest peak in southern Anhui. Therefore, it has high mountains, dense forests, few people, and excellent climate. It is called a ‘green natural museum’ and a ‘wildlife population gene bank’ by ecologists.
