However, these researches mainly focus on macroscopical aspects and are rare in systematic research on tourist behavior in National Forest Park.National Forest Park is the main carrier of ecotourism in China. Non- pertinent research will lead to windage of market orientation from developing in the macroscopical angle and market law of a wider region, which will weaken its resource market predominance indirectly and result in degradation in tourism resources.Aiming at this phenomenon, based on the previous study, a case study of the tourists in Mt. Taibai National Forest Park is carried out by the field survey. Five topics, such as demographic statistical characteristics of tourist, tourist market structure, characteristics of temporal tourist flows, spatially behavioral track and contrast between behavior and attitude of ecological tourists, are analyzed in this paper. By this case study, following conclusions are obtained:As to demographic statistical characteristics of tourists, male makes up the main body and scattering tourists account for much. The tourists, most of whom are students and teachers, with a tourism motivation for natural sightseeing, aging from 18 to 45 occupy a bigger part.
