Crossing a Billion Years of Danxia Legend, Encountering the Fantasy World of the Eastern Divine Turtle

**"The Turtle Peak on the river is rare under heaven; with friends, we linger admiring, forgetting to return at night."** —This verse by Ming Dynasty poet Li Mengyang captures the unparalleled beauty of Turtle Peak. As the core area of the World Natural Heritage "China Danxia," it was praised by Xu Xiake as "a wonder of peaks and ridges unmatched even by Yandang." Billions of years of geological marvels have sculpted a magical landscape where "every mountain resembles a turtle, every rock takes the shape of a turtle," with the entire peak standing like a giant turtle raising its head, guarding this mystical realm. 🏞️ **Danxia Wonders, Nature's Masterpiece** Every rock at Turtle Peak tells a myth—**"Three-Stacked Turtle Peak"** resembles three divine turtles piling up, **"Old Man Peak"** looks like an elderly man carrying a basket, and **"Camel Peak"** appears as a desert traveler gazing into the distance. Climb **"Pillar of the Southern Sky"** for a 360° panoramic view of crimson cliffs, as if stepping into the celestial mountains of *Journey to the West*. Meanwhile, the world's largest natural **Reclining Buddha Mountain** (416 meters long) lies serenely by Longmen Lake, exuding profound Zen tranquility. 🌌 **Dual Marvels of Day and Night, a Fantasy Realm** By day, drift on a bamboo raft across **Turtle Peak Lake**, where emerald waters reflect the Danxia hues, as if gliding through an ink painting. At night, the area transforms into the **"Kingdom of Divine Turtles"**—a dreamlike world of fantasy with naked-eye 3D light shows, mist forests, and holographic projections, transporting you instantly into the romantic myths of *Eternal Love*. 🎢 **Trendy Adventures, Endless Fun** - **"Lazy Traveler's Delight" Divine Turtle Route**: 2.5 hours to explore core attractions, boat on the lake, and snap stunning photos effortlessly. - **"Xu Xiake's Legacy" Hiking Trail**: 3.5 hours to discover "Goddess Scattering Flowers" and century-old ancient paths, connecting with Xu Xiake across time. - **"Scream-Inducing" Glass Dry Slide**: Race down from the mountaintop, combining thrills with breathtaking views. 🏡 **Stay Amidst the Scenery, Dream of Tang and Song** - **Huajianfu·Fisherman's Inquiry**: Song-style elegance with wood carvings and blue bricks, radiating Zen serenity. - **Fangcaodi Resort Hotel**: Grand Tang Dynasty charm, where Danxia sea of clouds greets you by the window. 🍜 **Turtle Peak's Culinary Delights, Divine Flavors** - **Yiyang Rice Cake**: Soft, chewy, and bouncy, a millennium-old intangible cultural heritage. - **"Divine Egg"**: A local specialty, said to bestow longevity to those who eat it. **"The earth's masterpiece converges at Turtle Peak"**—here lies not just a geological wonder but a timeless fantasy adventure. Visit Turtle Peak, live as a carefree wanderer for a day, and let the billion-year Danxia amaze your social media! ✨
