Located in Jiangjin city, 140 kilometres from the central part of Southwest China's Chongqing, Simian Mountain is an area of natural beauty, featuring flourishing forests, lakes, rivers and waterfalls.

With the help of a favourable climate and sufficient rainfall, the region is covered with luxurious forests. The mountain is covered mainly by sub-tropical virgin forests of evergreen broadleaf trees.

There are more than 1,500 kinds of plants in these forests, including 19 kinds of rare plants, such as the thorned cyathea spinulosa, the Chinese double-fan fern, the Chinese goose-palm catalpa and the yinque tree.
