I thought Huangshan was already beautiful enough

Until I came to Guifeng Mountain! ⛰【Travel Guide】 📍Detailed address: Guifeng Scenic Area, Yiyang, Shangrao, Jiangxi 🚗Transportation guide: Take the high-speed train to Yiyang Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride or a shuttle bus 🌟Highlights and features: There are many routes in Guifeng, and 3 popular scenic routes are recommended. 1. Divine Turtle Route Total duration 2.5h Difficulty: Visitor Center → Osmanthus Garden → General Tower → Hero Slope → Crape Myrtle Garden 2. Rosy Clouds Route Total duration 3.5h Difficulty: Visitor Center → Divine Turtle Welcome → Century Path → Fairy Scattering Flowers at General Tower → Hero Slope → Crape Myrtle Garden 3. Full Route Total duration 4h Difficulty: Visitor Center → Osmanthus Garden → General Tower → Three-Way Junction → South Sky Pillar → Camel Peak → Guifeng Lake 📌Little Tips: It is recommended to hike, as the mountain paths in Guifeng are not numerous and relatively gentle, not the steep stair-type mountain. Physical exertion is not great, allowing for better enjoyment of the scenery. Those who are afraid of heights should avoid the glass walkway route. There are many water activities in Guifeng, remember to bring appropriate clothing to experience water jetpack, speedboat, and water bicycle, families traveling with children should not miss out Climbing Guifeng takes a long time, remember to carry water and some snacks to replenish energy at any time The walking time on the mountain trails is quite long, remember to choose a pair of comfortable sports shoes In spring and summer, there are more mosquitoes, remember to use mosquito repellent~

Jiangxi Turtle Peak: A Magnificent Scroll in the Danxia Landform

"The peculiar peaks and cliffs of Turtle Peak are unmatched by Yandang," Xu Xiake did not deceive me, the strange rock scenery of Turtle Peak is truly a marvelous place on earth. This place is the hidden corner of Jiangxi that should not be missed. Turtle Peak gets its name because the mountain resembles a giant turtle, with peaks and cliffs stacked upon each other, totaling thirty-six peaks, and is known as 'Turtle Peak on the river, a rarity in the world.' Not only is it a treasure of the world natural heritage, but it is also a dazzling pearl in the world geopark. The Danxia landform is like a scroll carefully painted by nature, with a beautiful view at every step, and its magnificent scenery is comparable to that of Mount Huang. 🚙 Traffic Information High-speed train route: Yiyang High-speed Train Station → Turtle Peak Scenic Area → Bus No. 2 (every 20 minutes) Self-driving route: After exiting Yiyang Expressway, follow National Highway 320 westward for 6 kilometers to reach the scenic area 🌳 Scenic Spots Along the Way Hero Slope✔️ The stone-carved path, like ancient veins, winds through the cliffs, and every step seems to be a heavy conversation with history, making one's heart beat like a drum💯.

Located in Yiyang County, the Turtle Peak Scenic Area can be seen from a distance by the roadside, where a gigantic divine turtle lies between heaven and earth, truly embodying the saying 'no mountain without turtles, no stone without turtles'. Once you delve deeper, you will find that many of the cracks in the rocks resemble turtle shells, and nature's carving is indeed magical. The mountains of Turtle Peak are steep and majestic, yet they possess a fresh and lively beauty, with soft curves and gentle postures. Surrounded by these beautiful rivers and mountains, the beauty is overwhelming. A thousand rocks vie for beauty, streams babble, and the tranquil forest sea, all soaked in the distant times, seem to have such magic that makes us feel life, time, and a heart swaying in the flowing years!

There are many beautiful landscapes of the Danxia landform in China, and the strange rocks standing between heaven and earth at Turtle Peak, shaking the ground and the mountains, wandering through Turtle Peak, seem to take away many of the uncontrollable worries and distractions of the past, or the empty feelings. Walking through Turtle Peak, appreciating its unique mountainous terrain, and intentionally feeling the quiet time here, it is indeed a place where the years are peacefully spent.

Jiangxi Shangrao Geyang | The situation is like a turtle with a unique endowment, raising its head and dragging its tail towards the stream bank

Because it is said that 'there is no mountain without turtles, no stone without turtles,' and the entire scenic area is like a huge and unparalleled turtle raising its head. This refers to the Turtle Peak in Jiangxi Geyang. Speaking of Turtle Peak, it suddenly reminds me of a poem by Yang Wanli ↓ Song Dynasty Yang Wanli In the morning light, the great Chen Mountain is launched, and Turtle Peak stretches its neck to face it. By noon, passing Geyang, Turtle Peak retracts its head and is no longer seen. Green fur is thick and clean as if dyed, purple shells are rounded with spotted bands. I wonder if the seventy-two drilling spirits are divine, but in the Peach Blossom Market, the truth is best seen. The entire scenic area is named after the huge and unparalleled turtle raising its head. Turtle Peak has a total of 36 peaks, embodying 'strangeness, danger, spirituality, and ingenuity,' and is known as 'the rare Turtle Peak on the river' and 'natural bonsai.' Interested friends can go for a visit!!
