Located 55 kilometers away from downtown Zibo, the Tanxi Mountain Scenic Area is covered in thick vegetation with a forest coverage rate of more than 80 percent, so richly endowed by nature that it's been called a "natural oxygen bar". Its bucolic landscape attracts tourists all year round - with mountain flowers in full bloom in spring, streams murmuring in the summer, swathes of rich red leaves covering the mountain in the autumn and a world blanketed in snow in winter.
