Thousands of mu of slender bamboo, embraced by green mountains on all sides, winding paths leading to seclusion, and bamboo shadows dancing in the wind. This is a spiritual sanctuary for urbanites and a natural oxygen bar.

Located in the southern mountainous area of Liyang, Jiangsu Province, Nanshan Bamboo Sea straddles the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces.
