Intensified urbanization has caused a linear decline in the quality of urban biodiversity and indirectly harms our current human settlement environment. Urban mountain parks provide a refuge for the animals and plants and play a vital role in satisfying residents' lives. At present, few studies are focusing on the impact of biodiversity on human mental health benefits of urban mountain parks in high-density construction areas along the coast of the Eastern Hemisphere. Here, we examined the relationship between bird abundance, Shannon diversity, Simpson diversity, and Richness and momentary mental health (positive, negative, and anxiety) in urban mountain parks. The timed species counts method was used to conduct three surveys of birds in urban mountain parks, and linear regression was performed on the relationship between bird diversity and mental health among sites. According to the regression model results, we found no significant correlation in any disturbance levels. As urban mountain parks are an essential part of the human settlement environment, how to improve the biodiversity and mental health of urban mountain parks is one of the focuses of research on biodiversity well-being in the future. Urban planning authorities and public mental health researchers should pay attention to the importance of biodiversity in urban development and consider how to realize the beautiful vision of the harmonious coexistence of humans, animals, plants, and the environment in which we live.
城市化的加速发展导致城市生物多样性质量呈线性下降，间接影响了当前人类的居住环境。城市山体公园为动植物提供了庇护所，在满足居民生活方面发挥着重要作用。目前，很少有研究关注生物多样性对东半球沿海高密度建设区城市山体公园人类心理健康的影响。在这里，我们研究了鸟类丰富度、香农多样性、辛普森多样性和丰富度与瞬间心理健康（积极、消极和焦虑）之间的关系。我们采用定时物种计数法对城市山体公园中的鸟类进行了三次调查，并对不同地点的鸟类多样性与心理健康之间的关系进行了线性回归。根据回归模型结果，我们在任何干扰水平下都没有发现显著的相关性。由于城市山体公园是人类居住环境的重要组成部分，如何提高城市山体公园的生物多样性和人类心理健康是未来生物多样性福祉研究的重点之一。城市规划部门和公共心理健康研究人员应重视生物多样性在城市发展中的重要性，并考虑如何实现人类、动植物与我们所居住的环境和谐共存的美好愿景。
