Representatives from the Dajue Mountains Scenic Area in Fuzhou city, in Jiangxi province, recently held a news conference in Beijing to promote the area's tourism resources.

The area, located along the border of the Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, boasts an expanse of virgin forest and a wide variety of wild animals and plants.

Visitors can see valleys, streams and ancient temples in the area, besides walking across a glass bridge and doing some white-water rafting.

In February, the National Tourism Administration designated the scenic area as an AAAAA attraction, China's highest rating. The area is the first privately run scenic spot in China to win this accolade.

Ouyang Quanhua, the Party secretary of the Jiangxi Province Tourism Development Commission, said at the news conference that the Dajue Mountains rating will encourage Fuzhou city to boost its tourism promotion activities.
