The park covers a total area of 46 square kilometers. It features undulating mountains and crisscrossing ravines, with 96 peaks of varying sizes, 25 of which are over 700 meters in elevation. Xiangshan in the west stands at 918.7 meters, while Dashan in the east reaches 823 meters. The park is rich in species resources, with over 200 species of arboreal plants across 50 families, forming a forest area of nearly 4000 hectares dominated by evergreen forests.
The forest coverage is extremely high, providing a favorable habitat for various wildlife to thrive. The microclimate within the forest is distinct, with warm winters and cool summers, fresh air, and a pleasant climate, making it 5-8 degrees cooler in summer than in the city, an ideal place for summer retreat and leisure. The park is primarily divided into three scenic areas: Bailongtan Scenic Area, Dazhouyuan Scenic Area, and Yongninggou Scenic Area. Bailongtan Scenic Area is a well-known landscape in Laiwu City, historically referred to as the ‘eight treasures of Laiwu County, black and white Longtan.’ The Bailongtan valley runs from north to south, with one side featuring a vertical rock wall adorned with pine and cypress, and the other side is gentle, broad, and shaded by trees, offering a great recreational space with beautiful natural scenery. The core attraction is the Three Ponds of Bailongtan, complemented by the supporting attractions of Zhaobi Mountain, Tianqi Slide, Longtan Beads, Bailong Temple, Guanlong Pavilion, Xuebozi Mountain, and Youth Forest. Dazhouyuan Scenic Area is located on the sunny slope of Dashan, named for its winding stone walls that resemble a boat. The area has steep mountains, deep valleys, dense forests, and elegant scenery, with the remains of Zhigong Hall and ancient famous trees. The main attractions include Dazhouyuan Gate, Sweet Water Spring, Pine Forest Oxygen Bar, Layered Forests, Zhigong Hall, and the Millennium Ginkgo. Yongninggou Scenic Area is located in the southeast of the park, with a relatively flat terrain, featuring mountains, gentle land, reservoirs, forests, and fruit trees. Yongninggou, also known as Little Tai Mountain, attracts scholars, religious followers, and dignitaries with its superior geographical conditions and elegant natural environment, leaving behind many relics, sites, and mythological stories. Historical sites such as Dazhouyuan, Zhigong Hall, Bailong Temple, Heilong Temple, and Yongninggou date back hundreds to thousands of years.
