Its predecessor can be traced back to the 1950s, when it was known as the Ruyang Forest Farm, one of the state-owned forest farms directly under the Guangdong Provincial Forestry Department. The Ruyang Forest Farm was later reorganized into the Ruyang Forestry Bureau.[2]
In 2012, the Nanling National Forest Park was rated as a National 4A-level tourist attraction.[3] It was suspended for rectification starting April 23, 2018.
