Things to do in Lechang

Pingshi Jinji Ridge, a hidden gem of Danxia landforms in northern Guangdong 🌄 At its summit, the Golden Rooster Stone stands silently, its neck outstretched as if about to crow, seemingly gazing towards the border between Hunan and Guangdong. The Paigang Stone Forest stretches across the mountains, its red cliffs extending for hundreds of meters, resembling a natural red city wall. The most breathtaking sight is the One-Character Peak, over 350 meters long and only 3-6 meters wide, lying like a giant screen across the mountain ridge. Viewed directly, it resembles a wall; viewed from the side, it appears as a peak. Climb the trail to the summit and pass through a natural stone archway. Below, the town of Pingshi and the Wujiang River unfold before you, the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway winding through the valley. A mountain breeze caresses your face, the view opens up dramatically, and all fatigue is gently soothed by this red landscape. #JinjiRing #ClimbHigh #PaigangStoneForest #StoneArchway Step into Pingshi Jinji Ridge in northern Guangdong and encounter a Danxia wonderland. The Golden Rooster Stone, head held high atop the peak, seems poised to crow; the Paigang Stone Forest, a continuous expanse of red, resembles an ancient city wall. The 350-meter-long One-Character Peak, narrow as a knife's edge, appears as a wall from the front and a peak from the side. Climbing to the summit through the natural stone archway, one can overlook the winding Wujiang River, the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway traversing the canyon, and the entire town of Pingshi spread out before them. Mountain winds sweep across the red cliffs, the magnificent landscape healing all the weariness of life. The Paigang Stone Forest, a continuous expanse of red, resembles a natural city wall.

The Wujiang River flows gently, the town of Pingshi stretches across the valley floor, and the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway winds its way through the canyon. A mountain breeze sweeps across the red cliffs, and as far as the eye can see, the crimson landscape stretches out before you, and all the weariness of the world vanishes.

The experience at Mangshan Wuzhifeng was quite good. The entire climb was on gentle slopes and not tiring, and transportation to and from the mountain was convenient. Our tour guide, Ms. Huang, was patient, meticulous, and thoughtful, emphasizing important points three times.

The cave isn't large, but it boasts a decent variety of karst formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstones. The Guanyin and moon formations are particularly lifelike. Unfortunately, the chaotic and garish colored lighting design obscures the true beauty of the cave, a major flaw. For lighting design, it's recommended to learn from the Zhijin Cave in Guizhou. Guided tours are available inside the cave, but you can also explore on your own. After exiting the cave, you can hike up a small mountain, which tops with a large Buddha statue.

I went to Shaoguan for a tour and came to Lechang City. Jiufeng Town is located in the northeast of Lechang, bordering Hunan Province. Jiufeng Mountain is under the jurisdiction of the town. Every year in mid-February, the mountains are full of mountain flowers, and the weather is particularly good. With the blue sky and white clouds, this is definitely a paradise for photography enthusiasts. You have to go up the mountain along the way, with nine bends and thirteen turns. Not long after going up the mountain, you can see flowers, including plum flowers, peach flowers, rape flowers, and purple flowers. I can't name them. Although you can see flowers in many places, there may be many people, so it is recommended to drive slowly and continue to go up the mountain to find a suitable place with few people. You can take pictures however you want. There is also a red base inside, but we didn't find it in the end. There are no good resort hotels in the town. All of them are undeveloped places, relatively primitive, with very simple homestays, which can also be found on the Internet, but we don't like to live in primitive homestays, so we gave up. There are public toilets along the way, which are very clean and not dirty at all. There should be a farmhouse restaurant nearby. There is no private toilet, so you have to go to a public one. We came here because a friend had just been here and told us the address and location. We navigated here directly. He said there was food and vegetables to pick for free, but it was not meal time at that time, so we just walked around, strolled around, and took pictures. It is still the peach blossom festival, and even the hotels in the city have promotional posters. If you want to see the flowers, come here quickly. The flowers bloomed a little early this year. Now is the peak blooming period, and they will be completely withered in early March.

Danxia Mountain boasts beautiful scenery, excellent facilities, friendly and helpful staff, and reasonable prices. It's definitely worth a visit for hiking enthusiasts!

The scenery at the mountaintop was beautiful. Since we had stayed at a mountain resort before, our package ticket allowed us to enter the park twice, so we were able to experience all the attractions. The glass bridge and waterfall are among the best in the province – thumbs up! The roller coaster ride was an excellent experience. We'll definitely come back sometime.

We entered from the South Gate. Although there were many people, it wasn't chaotic at all. The signs were very clear, and the staff were very responsible. It was a very enjoyable trip for the kids; Guangzhou is beautiful and delicious. It was our first time seeing a rhinoceros and our first time riding a cable car—a great experience!

A highly recommended tourist attraction. It was so relaxing; I wish I could have stayed there all day. The scenery was superb, with expansive views, endless grasslands, and a sea of ​​clouds over the mountains—simply breathtaking. It completely lifted my spirits. As soon as we left, my child asked if we wanted to go back.

I purchased the 450m platform view. My wife is scared of heights, so we didn't do the 360 ball ride. After going up top and seeing it move very slow and it has secure safety railing, I regret not purchasing that package. It's definitely not scary.

The scenery was truly beautiful, especially the view from the top deck. It was a pity we didn't manage the tour bus schedule well; we didn't have enough time to get to the pier, and after security there was still a long walk. There wasn't time to use the restroom, and it was tiring for the older folks, especially since there were many difficult steps leading down to the boarding area. We almost stepped right on the boarding line. Having an extra 10 to 15 minutes to get there would have been much better.
