"Longjingshan Park", china's first "foggy forest " park that produces fog with artificial fog devices, was completed and opened to public recently in the Wengjia Mountain of Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province, attracting a lot of tourists.

It is learnt that the "foggy forest" in the park is devided into two topographties of foggy land and foggy stream. The park uses a serial of artificial fog devices to create a "foggy forest", in which tourists can not only breathe fresh and wet air but also experience the feelings of being in a virgin forest.

According to officials concerned of the park, with the rapid development of modern industry, the air pollution is becoming increasingly serious. while the "foggy forest park" uses the artificial fog devices to produce colorless, odorless and fresh air, which brings a wonderful feeling of going back to nature to tourists.

The content of negative ions in the air of the park reaches 100,000 to 150,000 per litre, which is 1,000 to 1,500 times the level in ordinary urban residential quarters. What's more, the "foggy forest park" is not confined to the change of the seasons, especially in summer, it can also serve as a brand new method for people to enjoy the cool.
