Lion's Roar and Sacred Chant: The Soulful Abode of Danxia at Shiyan Scenic Area

In Wuping County, the Shiyan Scenic Area is renowned for its unique Danxia landforms and profound Buddhist culture. The mountain here resembles a majestic lion lying in repose, hence its name, exuding both grandeur and spiritual energy. The scenic area not only boasts the breathtaking Danxia formations but also houses the historic Shiyan Temple. This ancient temple, nestled beneath steep cliffs, is a place of thriving incense offerings and resonant Buddhist chants. Climbing to the mountain's summit offers a panoramic view of the surrounding peaks, filling one's heart with a sense of openness. This journey combines geological wonders with spiritual cleansing, allowing you to experience the magnificence of nature and the power of faith.
