Visiting Yiyang Turtle Peak in Jiangxi in winter

On a clear winter morning, the sun shines through the sparse clouds and falls at the foot of Yiyang Turtle Peak. My friends and I agreed to follow the Shangrao Radio Car Friendship Turtle Peak Self-driving Group to set foot on this magical land. With the cool morning breeze, our mood also becomes relaxed and happy. Yiyang Turtle Peak, named for its mountain shape resembling a giant turtle, has been known since ancient times for its reputation of 'no mountain without a turtle, no stone without a turtle'. Ming Dynasty geographer Xu Xiake once visited this place and exclaimed, 'The wonder of Turtle Peak is unparalleled, something that Yandang does not have'. Taking the scenic area transportation, we slowly drove towards the main scenic area of Turtle Peak. Soon, the distant dark-colored mountains gradually revealed themselves, and the giant turtle seemed to be looking out from afar. Friends from Yiyang told me that this is the largest turtle on Turtle Peak, and the entire mountain is a combination of countless turtles of different sizes. We were deeply attracted by the scene before us, as if we had entered a magical world. In winter, Turtle Peak, although a little less green, has a bit more tranquility and purity. The cold wind blows, the pines and cypresses stand tall, guarding this land like warriors. We walked along the mountain road, stopping from time to time to admire the beautiful scenery between the mountains. The streams in the mountains flow quietly under the cover of ice, carrying the vicissitudes of time. At the top of Turtle Peak, we overlooked the surrounding mountains and the winding Xinjiang River in the distance. The winter sun shines on the river, sparkling, and it's breathtakingly beautiful. We rested in the pavilion on the top of the mountain, tasting local tea snacks, and chatting about all kinds of topics. At this moment, all worries and fatigue are dissipated in the warm winter sun. When the sun sets, we reluctantly bid farewell to this magical land. Looking back, Turtle Peak appears even more magnificent under the sunset. We silently made a wish in our hearts: May this land always be beautiful and rich, and may the people here always be happy and healthy.
