May Day Reverse Travel | Shangrao's Unique, Less Crowded, Budget-Friendly Peak

I've visited this underrated Danxia mountain in Shangrao twice - Yiyang Guifeng Compared to Shangrao's Wunü Island and Wangxian Valley, I prefer this place It's not just a World Natural Heritage site & Geopark & lesser-known 5A attraction It's also "Jiangshang Guifeng Tianxia Xi" (Rare Turtle Peak Above the River) as described by Xu Xiake Few people, beautiful scenery, hidden Danxia gem - don't miss it during May Day holiday!! 👇Travel guide sharing - 📍Location: Guifeng Scenic Area, Yiyang, Shangrao 🚄Transportation: The closest high-speed rail station is "Yiyang Station" (12km away, with direct buses to the scenic area right outside the station) 🚌Yiyang Station➜Guifeng Scenic Area: Direct buses available right outside the high-speed rail station, 3 yuan, 20 minutes; also free double-decker Guifeng special buses (but fewer departures) 🚗Driving: Very convenient, the scenic area has a parking lot 🅿️, 10 yuan/day 🎫Admission: Full price ticket 60 yuan 💰Package ticket: 160 yuan (including sightseeing car & boat) 🏨Accommodation: I chose Huajian Lingbishui Danxin, nice environment, no price increase during May Day holiday, 300+ yuan per person including admission ticket! 🥙Dining: Restaurants available inside the scenic area, and nearby local farmhouse restaurants are very good - 🗺️Attraction guide: 👇3️⃣ recommended routes in the scenic area: ❶Divine Turtle Route: 5km, 2.5h Osmanthus Garden➜General Building➜Hero's Slope➜Crape Myrtle Garden ❷Xiake Route: 8km, 3.5h Divine Turtle Welcome➜Hundred Years Path➜Green Fairyland➜Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers➜General Building➜Hero's Slope➜Crape Myrtle Garden ❸Complete Route: 10km, 4.5h Osmanthus Garden➜General Building➜Three Path Junction➜South Sky Pillar➜Glass Walkway➜Camel Peak➜Clearwater Pond ⚠️Paper maps of the scenic area are available at the visitor center~ There are local maps and direction signs along the mountain paths, so you won't get lost. Restrooms 🚻 and small shops are available at regular intervals. 👉 I took the complete route, went down the mountain via the glass slide, then walked about 1.5km to Clearwater Pond Dock to take a boat to Wobo Bridge Dock, and then took a sightseeing car back. If you want to visit during May Day holiday, you can arrange one route per day, as each offers different scenery! - Guifeng not only has unique landforms and history, but is also incredibly photogenic 📸Recommended must-visit photo spots: ❶ Hero's Slope: Winding steps carved into the mountaintop, with breathtaking views overlooking the world ❷ South Sky Pillar: A literal "pillar holding up the sky," standing in stark contrast to the surrounding peaks ❸Golden Bell Peak: Climb to the top for a hidden surprise - rocking horses 🐴 at the summit ❹Camel Peak: The highest point, steep and precipitous, clearly resembling a camel 🐫 when viewed from the observation deck
