Guifeng Scenic Area

"The peculiar peaks and cliffs of Turtle Peak are unmatched by Yandang," Xu Xiake did not deceive me, the strange rock scenery of Turtle Peak is truly a marvelous place on earth. This place is the hidden corner of Jiangxi that should not be missed. Turtle Peak gets its name because the mountain resembles a giant turtle, with peaks and cliffs stacked upon each other, totaling thirty-six peaks, and is known as 'Turtle Peak on the river, a rarity in the world.' Not only is it a treasure of the world natural heritage, but it is also a dazzling pearl in the world geopark. The Danxia landform is like a scroll carefully painted by nature, with a beautiful view at every step, and its magnificent scenery is comparable to that of Mount Huang. 🚙 Traffic Information High-speed train route: Yiyang High-speed Train Station → Turtle Peak Scenic Area → Bus No. 2 (every 20 minutes) Self-driving route: After exiting Yiyang Expressway, follow National Highway 320 westward for 6 kilometers to reach the scenic area 🌳 Scenic Spots Along the Way Hero Slope✔️ The stone-carved path, like ancient veins, winds through the cliffs, and every step seems to be a heavy conversation with history, making one's heart beat like a drum💯.

Located in Yiyang County, the Turtle Peak Scenic Area can be seen from a distance by the roadside, where a gigantic divine turtle lies between heaven and earth, truly embodying the saying 'no mountain without turtles, no stone without turtles'. Once you delve deeper, you will find that many of the cracks in the rocks resemble turtle shells, and nature's carving is indeed magical. The mountains of Turtle Peak are steep and majestic, yet they possess a fresh and lively beauty, with soft curves and gentle postures. Surrounded by these beautiful rivers and mountains, the beauty is overwhelming. A thousand rocks vie for beauty, streams babble, and the tranquil forest sea, all soaked in the distant times, seem to have such magic that makes us feel life, time, and a heart swaying in the flowing years! The weather at Turtle Peak is ever-changing, with a clear sky after the rain, and often there are spectacular sights of the sea of clouds that are astounding. The best place to view the sea of clouds at Turtle Peak is undoubtedly the Golden Bell Peak. Climbing to the top of Turtle Peak, the view is wide, the mist is hazy like a belt, and the peaks are dimly visible, giving you a feeling of being in a fairyland. There are many beautiful landscapes of the Danxia landform in China, and the strange rocks standing between heaven and earth at Turtle Peak, shaking the ground and the mountains, wandering through Turtle Peak, seem to take away many of the uncontrollable worries and distractions of the past, or the empty feelings.

Because it is said that 'there is no mountain without turtles, no stone without turtles,' and the entire scenic area is like a huge and unparalleled turtle raising its head. This refers to the Turtle Peak in Jiangxi Geyang. Speaking of Turtle Peak, it suddenly reminds me of a poem by Yang Wanli ↓ Song Dynasty Yang Wanli In the morning light, the great Chen Mountain is launched, and Turtle Peak stretches its neck to face it. By noon, passing Geyang, Turtle Peak retracts its head and is no longer seen. Green fur is thick and clean as if dyed, purple shells are rounded with spotted bands. I wonder if the seventy-two drilling spirits are divine, but in the Peach Blossom Market, the truth is best seen. The entire scenic area is named after the huge and unparalleled turtle raising its head. Turtle Peak has a total of 36 peaks, embodying 'strangeness, danger, spirituality, and ingenuity,' and is known as 'the rare Turtle Peak on the river' and 'natural bonsai.' Interested friends can go for a visit!!

You don't know, the peak of the peak May surrounded by deep mountains is a wonderful season. It seems that in a blink of an eye, the days will fall into the embrace of May. The sun in May is more transparent, and the days of May are warm and bright. The flowers that belong to spring are still in love with the branches, and those flowers that belong to summer are as blooming. Welcome to the "San Qing Mei" Women's Literature Association to take me to visit Guifeng in Xiangyang County. I talked about this 5A scenic spot. I have come here once before, so I have to revisit the place and have a taste in my heart. When you walk into the Guiyang Guiyang, you will be greeted by the welcoming nature of the turtles, the road hump, and the Jinzhong Peak. Guifeng, also known as Guifeng, is a typical Danxia landform. Because the mountain there is very like a turtle, people call it the turtle peak. The Guifeng Scenic Area is located in the southwestern part of the urban area of Shuyang County, Jiangxi Province, next to the 320 National Highway, the 311 Expressway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway. It is 10 kilometers away from the Shuyang County, with a total area of 136 square kilometers. It is part of the World Geopark Longhushan-Jiangfeng Geopark and the world natural heritage China Danxia. It is a national-level scenic spot, a national AAAAA-level tourist scenic spot, a national forest park, and a national patriotic education demonstration base. Buddhist development of Guifeng, began in Liang Dynasty, Cao Zen master built a temple in Guifeng, and the Tang Dynasty Maoshu Zen Master built Lingsheng Temple. Since the Tang Dynasty, the incense was flourishing, and the Song Dynasty Guifeng Temple has become one of the famous temples in the south of the Yangtze River. In the Ming Dynasty, the temple was expanded and the Qing Dynasty continued to flourish. Due to the development of Buddhism, the famous scenic spots of Guifeng are also known to the world. Many famous ministers and poets have been attracted. The tourist peaks have increased from generation to generation, and the popularity of Guifeng has increased. The celebrities of the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties left a lot of poems, and the inscriptions were also increased, forming a cliff carving corridor.

The aerial photography of Xiangyang is because it has no mountains and no turtles, no stones and no turtles, and the whole mountain is named like a huge giant turtle. The weather is bad today, and many turtles are curling up in the clouds. Kameido belongs to the 5A level scenic spot and has the title of World Natural Heritage and World Geopark. The Ming Dynasty geographer Xu Xiake visited the peak of the turtle and issued a sigh of "the wonder of the tortoise and the peak of the geese." is another big business card of Shangrao following Sanqingshan and Wuyuan.

Cao Cao once gave poetry, "The god turtle is still alive, but there is still time", but what if it is a "mountain turtle"? There is a saying that "there is no such thing as a book". There is such a mountain, which developed in the late Cretaceous period of 135 million years ago. There are no mountains and no turtles, no stones and no turtles. The whole mountain is like a huge giant turtle. Therefore, it was named "Guifeng". Guifeng is a typical Danxia landform. It has a total of thirty-six peaks. It is a combination of odd, dangerous, spiritual and clever. It is known as the turtle on the river. Chen Kangbo, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, once admired: "There is a period of time in the ages, and Shoubi Qiaosong can wait for the same period!" Xu Xiake, a geographer of the Ming Dynasty, also issued a sigh of "the wonder of the tortoise and the peak of the geese." When it rains and rains, boating on the Qingshui Lake, the rain is slanting, the fog is caged and clear, the green hills are like mountains and rivers, and it seems as if you have drove into a landscape painting of splashing ink. Meet, it is the mountain sound in the wind, the walk in the rain, the flower in the lake, you and me.

Guifeng is at the junction of the two ancient plates of the Yangtze and Huaxia. Since the late Triassic about 200 million years ago, due to the collision between the Pacific plate and the Eurasian plate, along the eastern Russia and South China, Formed a large-scale, thousands-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousandth-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand The interaction again triggered a large-scale volcanic eruption and magmatic intrusion, forming a magmatic rock belt in the southeastern continent of China. The green lake of Guifeng Lake under the turtle peak is very shocking and is a good place for New Year's Day.
