Observations showed that in these areas the qualities of air and surface water have reached the I-level National Standard; the bacterium content level was less than 3 700 per m which was far lower than that of the national limit; the content of air negative ions was up to 100 000 per cm3. The forest tourism areas were also abundant in plant phytoncidere and species with a forest cover rate of 78%-98%, the contents of healthcare phytoncidere a-pinene and B-pinene were as high as 85. 89% and there were 900-3000 of plant species and 149-2300 wild animals species. Above all account for the fact that forest tourism areas are ideal resorts for refreshing body and mind and health seeking with its superior eco-environment.
