Qianling Park is located on Qianling Mountain, northwest of Guiyang. It is named after Mt. Qianlingshan which was awarded the title of "the First Mountain in South China". Incorporating the soul and spirit of the Guizhou Plateau, there are towering old trees, limpid springs and queer rocks in it. More than 1,500 kinds of trees, flowers and plant sand over 1,000 kinds of rare medicinal herbs naturally grew on the mountain. Rhesus monkeys and various birds perch there in groups. Climbing up along the "Nine-Winds Path", one can get to the Hongfu Temple. The Hongfu Monastery on the mountain which was built in the early Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 AD) is one of the famous temples located in Guizhou province. From the "Kanzhu Pavilion" and "Wangcheng Tower" on the top of the mountain, one can get a bird's eye view of the whole city. Apart from these, there are 200 Qiling caves and Qianling Lake found here. It was in Qiling cave that Zang Xueliang and Yanghucheng, two famous Anti-Japanese War heroes and patriotic generals, were once kept in captivity. In order to assure the safety and arouse the interest of tourists, 500 meters long "Qianling cable way" was built leading from the foot of the mountain to "Kanzhu Pavilion". At the foot of the mountain is the blue ripple Qianling Lake. There is a zoo in the park. The vestige of glacier of the Quaternary period can be found here.
