A thousand years ago, there were theme parks too!

It turns out that ancient people also liked to visit theme parks. There is a mountain in Luzhou, Sichuan Named Yuchan Mountain because it resembles a toad! In ancient times, Yuchan (jade toad) was considered an auspicious and spiritual creature Phrases like 'Chan Gong Zhe Gui' (toad palace and the laurel tree), 'Yutu Yinchang' (jade rabbit and silver toad), and 'Liu Hai Xi Chan' (Liu Hai playing with a toad) Are all descriptions of the toad's auspicious aura! Yuchan Mountain is not only shaped like a toad But also has many peculiar rocks on it! The shapes also resemble toads With attractions such as 'Shuang Chan Dui Ming' (two toads calling to each other), 'Qian Chan Xi Xi' (thousands of toads frolicking), and 'Chan Wang Chi' (toad king pool) There are many toad-related sites It can truly be called a 'Jade Toad Fairyland' Definitely an ancient version of a theme park! Historical records show that Yuchan Mountain had Yuan Tong Temple built during the Tang Dynasty At that time, it was very popular with pilgrims coming in droves The Song Dynasty literary giant Huang Tingjian got drunk here and wrote about 'Yuchan' The Ming Dynasty top scholar Yang Shen wrote wildly about 'Jin Ao Feng' (Golden Turtle Peak) here And so on, there are countless legends and stories Today, there are still more than 400 cliff carvings from the Ming Dynasty preserved here Exquisitely beautiful, they are breathtaking If you come to Luzhou, you must not miss this place It is definitely worth a visit 😁If you like, please follow me, thank you! ☝🏻️If you want to see more about Yuchan Mountain, please click on my profile picture to check out my other notes about Yuchan Mountain! 👏🏻If you have any questions, feel free to chat in the comments section! 📸Photo taken at the beginning of February 📷Photography suggestions: 🟠Many cliff carvings are on relatively high rocks, it's best to prepare a telephoto lens for shooting 🟡This place is quite suitable for shooting in traditional Hanfu costumes 📍Location: Sichuan, Luzhou 🚗Transportation: Just navigate to Yuchan Mountain, there is a free parking lot at the entrance 💰Ticket: The ticket is 20 yuan per person, parking is free ❗TIPS: ❤️Some areas inside the Yuchan Mountain scenic area are under repair due to loose mountain terrain and are currently inaccessible 🧡Yuchan Mountain is close to Luzhou County, and after visiting, you can also plan to visit the Song Dynasty Stone Carving Museum, Longnao Bridge, and other places, all of which are worth a visit!
