Its beauty goes beyond the physical as it has one of the coldest climates in Nigeria. The weather provides a conducive environment for vegetative growths which paints the state with masses of evergreen farmlands and grasslands in different parts of the state, producing some major foods that can rarely be produced anywhere else in Nigeria. These foods include irish potatoes, tomato (popular as &#8220;tomato Jos&#8221;), cabbage, and broccoli among others. It is also the home for an endemic bird, the <a href=\"http:\/\/datazone.birdlife.org\/species\/factsheet\/jos-plateau-indigobird-vidua-maryae\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jos Plateau Indigobird<\/a> (Vidua Maryae) and Rock Fire Finch which are found only in the state and nowhere else in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the beautiful assets of Plateau State is a result of nature which leads to its harboring one of the highest hills in Nigeria &#8211; Shere Hills. It also has more mountains, hills, and valleys than probably any other State in Nigeria. Little wonder it was named Plateau to mean an area of fairly level high ground. Another unique natural beauty is found in its ability to rain ice during the rainy season and cover by a haze many times of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The state is known for its rich columbite ores, exotic fruits and vegetables and well-designed road network which allows for further admiration. However, coming down to man-made beauty, it is home to one of the oldest universities in Nigeria, the University of Jos.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Some Beautiful Places in Plateau State<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Jos Wildlife Park<\/li>\n<li>Jos Golf Course<\/li>\n<li>The 10 Commandments monument<\/li>\n<li>Solomon Lar Amusement Park<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>5.
