- Abstract：
- The Qinhuangdao Forest Park,on the westcoast of the Bohai Sea,is located in betweentwo densely populated districts of Qinhuangdao,a renowned beachside tourist destination in northern China.The whole area wasafforested in the 1950s to form a windbreak,transforming coastal sand dunes into a greenwedge for the city that also protected thecoastal land and railroad from erosion bythe sea.It was an uninteresting tree plantation dominated by fastgrowing trees,including poplar (Populus tomentosa and Populus Canadensis)and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia).Dotting the Forest Park are fishponds and rice paddies,most of which have been abandoned since this area was designated as a national forest park in 1993.
