Jiangxi's Hidden Gem! A World Heritage Site Praised by Xu Xiake, a Filming Location for Journey to the West with Few Visitors and Stunning Scenery

Who would have thought Jiangxi has more than just Wugong Mountain and Sanqing Mountain? There's also this seriously underrated fairy mountain🏞️! As a World Natural Heritage site, Guifeng's Danxia landform is truly unique, with bizarre peaks and strange rocks everywhere—every snapshot is a breathtaking masterpiece📸! Even Journey to the West filmed scenes here, and Xu Xiake highly praised it, saying "Guifeng's peaks are uniquely magnificent, unlike anything in Yandang," which is high praise indeed! The best part is it’s off the beaten path and peaceful, so you won’t have to squeeze with crowds on weekends—so refreshing~ 📍 Location: Guifeng, Yiyang, Shangrao, Jiangxi 🚄 Transportation: High-speed train direct to Yiyang Station, then a 20-minute taxi ride to the scenic area entrance 🧗‍♀️ Choose from three hiking routes, suitable for different levels👇 1️⃣ Divine Turtle Route (Easy & Leisurely) Osmanthus Garden → General’s Tower → Hero Slope → Crape Myrtle Garden → Guifeng Lake Distance: 5km, about 2.5 hours ⛱️ Beginner/Family-friendly 2️⃣ Xiake Route (Classic Check-in) Divine Turtle Welcome → Century-old Path → Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers → General’s Tower → Hero Slope → Crape Myrtle Garden → Guifeng Lake Distance: 8km, about 3.5 hours 📝 Follow in Xu Xiake’s footsteps to enjoy the scenery 3️⃣ Full Route (Intense Challenge) Osmanthus Garden → General’s Tower → Sandao Mouth → Southern Sky Pillar → Camel Peak → Qingshui Pond Distance: 10km, about 4.5 hours ⚡ Outdoor enthusiasts, go for it! ✨Photo spots with a 100% chance of stunning shots—don’t miss or you’ll regret it! ✅ Hero Slope: A steep cliff carved path, walking up feels like entering an alien planet🌍, atmosphere is incredible ✅ Camel Peak: The highest peak in the park, steep and towering, the glass walkway at the summit is a must-try, super thrilling💥 ✅ One Line Sky: Two mountain peaks meet narrowly, squeezing through makes you marvel at nature’s craftsmanship🙌 ✅ Guifeng Lake: Row a boat on the lake and see the Danxia stone forest reflected in the water, like a flowing landscape painting🖼️ 💡Helpful travel tips, keep them handy! ✔️ All 36 peaks in the park have gentle steps, overall difficulty is low, and there’s a hotel inside the park🏨—perfect for a hassle-free summer trip with kids ✔️ There are supply shops at mountain stations, but it’s recommended to bring your own snacks and water🥤; some sections have no shade, so remember sun protection and mosquito repellent🦟 in summer ✔️ Guifeng looks twice as beautiful after rain! The Danxia landform colors become richer and more mysterious, so check the weather forecast before you go🌧️ ✔️ Want to hit all the highlights? You can combine routes: take the Xiake Route to Hero Slope → return to Sandao Mouth → continue on the Full Route to perfectly unlock all the beauty 🌿 If the mountain won’t come to me, I’ll go to the mountain!
