Valleys in the forest
Sanxian Cave and Dalong Valley bring forest, valley, water and walking paths together, moving visitors from open shores into enclosed woodland.
Culture in the landscape
The Huating archaeological site, inscriptions and cultural displays allow archaeology, local stories and today's visitor landscape to be read together.
Memory preserved
Memorial sites and historical displays add a modern layer of memory while keeping interpretation distinct from formal historical research.
(PRESERVE)
Landscape has form. Time leaves traces.
See the scenery, and respect the marks left by time.
The value of Maling Mountain lies not only in its lakes, valleys and hills, but also in the historical setting created by the Huating site, local inscriptions and memorial places.
Protection begins with practical choices: respect site boundaries, stay out of closed areas and leave archaeological and memorial places in their authentic context.
