Jiangxi Guifeng: Encountering the Natural Wonderland and Enjoying a Tranquil Journey

In the vast landscapes of Jiangxi, there lies a hidden gem that resembles a fairyland—Guifeng. It may not have the fame of Sanqing Mountain in Shangrao, but it boasts a unique tranquility and beauty. Entering the Guifeng Scenic Area feels like stepping into a magical art hall crafted by nature itself. The mountains here are not high but come in various shapes. Some resemble lively animals, leaping among the mountains; others look like elegant fairies, standing gracefully. The magnificent and steep Danxia landforms are fully displayed here, leaving people in awe. For tourists who want to explore deeply, you can choose this route: start from Guihuayuan, pass through General Building, Sandao Pass, and Eighteen Arhats Rest Point, climb to the top of Jinzhong Peak, stroll along the mountain path, challenge the glass walkway, bravely climb Camel Peak, and finally reach Qingshuitang. If you are traveling with the elderly and children, you might opt for a simplified route: from Guihuayuan to General Building, then through Hero Slope to Ziyuan Garden. The journey takes about two hours, with scenic spots at every step. The natural landscapes and the ingenious artificial constructions are perfectly integrated. The sturdy and gentle viewing platforms and steps allow you to appreciate the spectacular scenery even when facing steep cliffs without worrying about excessive physical exertion. You can easily enjoy the trip even with a baby. When you reach the top of the mountain, the scene of "looking horizontally as a ridge and sideways as a peak, with different views from near and far, high and low" unfolds before your eyes, and you can't help but feel a heroic sentiment of "I will ascend the peak and view all the small mountains at a glance." At that moment, the whole world becomes tranquil, as if time has stopped for this beautiful scenery. Guifeng has many check-in points. Hero Slope lives up to its name, with a road carved out of huge rocks and winding steps leading you forward, allowing you to take the most beautiful photos with Guifeng. On Jinzhong Peak, the full view of the spiritual and beautiful Guifeng is intoxicating. Camel Peak, the highest peak in the scenic area, has a 90-degree vertical ladder that makes you scream at a glance, challenging the limits of courage. In Yixiantian, the hundred-meter walkway between two peaks brings a thrilling visual experience. The mountain path built around the mountain feels like an endless staircase. The water park is a paradise for children, with activities like jet skiing and surfing making parent-child activities extremely fun, achieving a perfect combination of mountain and water enjoyment. Don't forget to take photos. The Xiake Line Rest Pavilion, Divine Turtle Welcoming Guests, and Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers are also must-see spots. Here, every scene and atmosphere may become your next great photo. We stayed at Bishui Danxin, which is very close to the scenic area. The European-style courtyard has a unique charm, and the host is particularly enthusiastic. There's also good news: Jiangxi residents can enjoy this beautiful scenery until August 31. Come to Guifeng and start a secret mountain journey through time and space!

Turtle Peak Adventure: Exploring the Majestic World of the 'Hidden Mountain Summit'

This time, I visited 'Turtle Peak', a lesser-known spot that left me in awe with its grandeur and the sense of escape from the city. Located in Yiyang, Jiangxi, Turtle Peak is about a 15-minute taxi ride from Yiyang High-Speed Rail Station. Not only was this a place once visited by Xu Xiake, but it is also a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site and a geological park. The rugged Danxia landforms and the beautiful sea of clouds over the mountains make one feel the magnificence and mystery of nature. When you come to Turtle Peak, get ready to enjoy a visual and spiritual feast in this hidden mountain summit!

Regret going late!! Jiangxi's severely underrated 5A

The Danxia landform wonder strongly recommended by National Geographic is the first stop in Xu Xiake's travel notes. The landform is listed as a World Natural Heritage due to its steep and unique features. Compared to other famous mountains, Guifeng is low-key yet splendid, with fewer people and a niche crowd, avoiding congestion and offering an excellent travel experience. 1. Photo Check-in Spots 1. Hero Slope The perspective of Hero Slope gives a sense of the 'lonely smoke in the desert,' very much like Dunhuang. 2. Plank Road Corridor The tour of Guifeng is similar to other famous mountains, mainly consisting of walking plank roads. The plank roads of Guifeng are uniquely steep and very photogenic. 3. Camel Peak The ladder plank road of Camel Peak is about to open, marveling at the craftsmanship of nature. The ladder plank road is a challenge to take on. 4. Golden Bell Peak The sunrise and sunset of Guifeng are best viewed from the perspective of Golden Bell Peak. The unique Danxia landform is infinitely beautiful between sunrise and sunset. 5. Boating on Guifeng Lake Guifeng Lake is at the foot of Guifeng Mountain. 'No mountain is not a turtle, no stone is not a turtle.' Boating on Guifeng Lake, one is healed by this natural wonder. 2.

The high-speed railway station is only twenty minutes away from the Guifeng Scenic Area. You can take the scenic area bus or a taxi to get there. Local tourists are recommended to drive there.

I thought Huangshan was beautiful until I came here

I don't know if it's too low-key or not well-promoted, but how can such a beautiful place be so little known! Located between Sanqing Mountain, Longhu Mountain, and Wuyi Mountain, the scenery here is no less impressive than these three mountains! Guifeng was formed during the Danxia landform of the Cretaceous period 135 million years ago, and you can see many strange and interesting peaks (like rabbits, Zhu Bajie, Elizabeth, etc.). Even Xu Xiake wrote, 'The wonders of Guifeng's peaks and ridges are unmatched by Yandang' after visiting. If you plan to travel after graduation or have a team-building hike during the summer, make sure to bookmark this place! Location: Yiyang Guifeng Scenic Area Transportation: 15 minutes by taxi from Yiyang Station My travel route: (covers all the essential parts) Thousand-year-old camphor tree → One Line Sky → General Building → Three Passes Hero Slope (Return to Three Passes) → Camel Peak Viewing Platform → Golden Bell Peak → West Sea Coast Viewing Platform → Eighteen Arhats → Glass Plank Road → Camel Peak → Clear Water Pond Pier → Guifeng Lake → Visitor Center Must-visit spots: One Line Sky: Xu Xiake once walked here, a narrow path between two peaks where you can only see a strip of blue sky when you look up, with a gentle mountain breeze blowing through the valley. Three Passes: On the way to the Camel Peak Viewing Platform, the entire route is a suspended plank road with spectacular scenery along the way, and you can also see stone peaks that look like rabbits. Hero Slope: The stone steps are winding and twisting, and in the afternoon you can see the golden sunlight on the mountains. Photography enthusiasts should not miss this spot. Golden Bell Peak: The peak resembles a hanging golden bell, and a local saying goes, 'When clouds cover Golden Bell Peak, it will either rain or be windy.' It can predict the weather. From the top, you can overlook the entire Guifeng, and there is a small wooden horse that is very interesting. Be careful at the top, and do not climb on rainy days. Glass Plank Road: You can see the overlapping peaks from afar, with a sheer cliff on one side and a hundred-meter drop on the other, thrilling and exciting! Tips: It takes about 4-5 hours to complete the entire route. Travel light, and there are service points on the mountain where you can buy water and food. The overall difficulty of the climb is not high. On sunny days, be prepared for sun protection. Do not climb on rainy days. Cloudy days are very comfortable. Remember to take a map of the area, as there are multiple routes to choose from.

Xu Xiake was right, this place is truly stunning

300 years ago, the wandering scholar Xu Xiake visited Jiangxi and praised the hidden Guifeng Mountain.

Jiangxi, if you don't promote this place, it's really a pity

Jiangxi is truly a treasure trove for travelers. Besides the well-known Wuyuan and Jingdezhen, this time I discovered an off-the-beaten-path destination - Yiyang Guifeng in Shangrao. Located near Wuyuan, definitely don't miss out on the rapeseed flowers during Qingming Festival! 'Guifeng on the river is rare in the world', the entire mountain is named for its resemblance to a giant turtle. The Danxia landform and the unique peaks and rocks here are truly breathtaking and awe-inspiring, worthy of being a World Natural Heritage site.

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~

With mountains and water! Unique peaks and strange rocks! A view at every step! Don't miss this hidden gem in Jiangxi when you visit📍 Three recommended routes🧗🏻‍♂️: 1️⃣ Tortoise Trail (2.5 hours including lake tour) Visitor Center → Osmanthus Garden → General's Tower → Hero Slope → Crape Myrtle Garden 2️⃣ Xiake Trail (3.5 hours including lake tour) Visitor Center → Tortoise Welcome → Century Path → Fairy Scattering Flowers → General's Tower → Hero Slope → Crape Myrtle Garden 3️⃣ Full Route (4 hours including lake tour) Visitor Center → Osmanthus Garden → General's Tower → Three-Way Junction → South Heavenly Pillar → Camel Peak → Turtle Peak Lake Sharing my travel experience🙋🏻‍♂️: 1️⃣ I recommend buying a combo ticket for 99 (includes scenic area entrance ticket➕sightseeing car➕boat tour) 2️⃣ Be sure to take more photos at Hero Slope, it's really cinematic! The little stone street built along the mountain is very steep as you climb🧗🏻‍♀️. It looks even more perilous in photos – drone shots would be even better 3️⃣ At Xiake Edge, after reaching the service point at General's Tower, go in the direction on the right hand side (a little walk to the right and you'll get there. It's recommended to take a photo and then head back. Continuing forward is a bit far. Return the same way and take the left path to continue up the mountain). There's a hundred-meter cliff waterfall. If it has rained before your visit, the waterfall will be huge and the photos will be stunning! 4️⃣ Camel Peak is the highest peak in the scenic area and also the summit location.
