It also encompasses Upper Natural Bridge, Lower Natural Bridge, Dongfanghong Hydropower Station, Toutang Forest Park, Liujing Karst Caves and multi-layered plateau karst landforms ranging from tropical to south temperate zones. It is the only subtropical "Plant Treasure House" in southeastern Yunnan.
With 9 peaks, 16 ridges and 21 valleys, Laojun Mountain and Bozhu Mountain integrate mountain views, dense forests, clear springs, green bamboos, wild flowers and rare birds.
