The Shunan Bamboo Sea (Shunan Zhuhai) is a huge
bamboo forest (120 square kilometers), 330 km south of Chengdu
and 230 km away from Chongqing. It is recognized by the  Chinese
government as a major environmental protection area and one
of the best tourist areas in China. On the other hand, as
this area is in a rather remote region, the only true attractions
for Westerners are the natural beauty of the bamboo forests
and the charm of panda territory. As the main food of Panda
bears is bamboo, the Bamboo Sea is a major panda reserve.
The area's climate is rather damp with plentiful
rainfall and the sandy soil here is perfect for growing bamboo.
The area includes 124 scenic spots with colorful
names such as Heaven King Temple, Demon Treasure Mansion,
Meeting Immortals Cave, Black Dragon Lake, Seven Color Waterfall,
Ancient Battlefield, Cloud Viewing Pavilion, Jade Corridor,
Tea Mountain,and Flower Stream.
