With unique enchanting scenery, Nongguan National Nature Reserve, like a magnet, attracts hordes of tourists and scientists who are fascinated with its treasure trove. What has really brought fame to this reserve is the discovery of white-headed langur which can be treated with the same level of care as panda, the national treasure. In the entire world, these long-tailed monkeys are found only in southwest Guangxi. Since white-headed langur was re-discovered in this reserve in 2004, the critically endangered monkey was under strict protection. Also, other wildlife such as Asiatic black bear, dhole, puff-throated bulbul and crested serpent eagle also appear in the reserve. Most remarkably, Guangxi’s lizard, a unique cat snake species, was discovered here and has not been found elsewhere.
However, Nongguan National Nature Reserve is never shortage of scientific discoveries, which is partly because its gullies are so hard to reach, and its trails are difficult to follow. Through a zigzagging trail, you can easily see wild undergrowth and tall trees with their roots sprawling over or biting into limestone outcrops. Located in the subtropical humid monsoon region, the climate here is very conducive to the development of subtropical plants, nurturing a unique ecosystem with rich biodiversity.
