Golden Whip Stream Trail

This popular walk along its namesake rushing stream offers beautiful scenery from the base of the karsts. It can sometimes feel like "walking amongst giants" because the karst formations rise up all around the stream. This is also where the park's monkey population comes out to play. At a modest pace, the mostly flat trail takes about two hours from Water Rapping Around Four Doors to the Forest Park Ticket Station park entrance.

Golden Whip Stream flows between steep grotesque peaks and luxuriant trees. Here, the meandering streams, exotic plants and rare animals co-exist and constitute the extraordinarily beautiful, tranquil and natural ecological environment. No wonder it is called "the most beautiful valley in the world" and "the most poetic stream".
