As a new landmark for Shangyou's ecotourism, Zhufengding connects to attractions such as Yangming Lake and Xianren Cave, and is easily accessible.

The weather was sunny and bright when we arrived, with blue skies and white clouds, making for fantastic photos; every shot looked great. There are three islands in total: Love Island and the Arboretum are connected; there's also a Pleasant Goat Island. Due to time constraints, we didn't get to visit Pleasant Goat Island this time. Love Island was quite beautiful and great for taking stunning photos, while the Arboretum was just so-so. If you're traveling with elderly people, I suggest only visiting Love Island and the Arboretum. I heard that you need to climb a mountain to get to Pleasant Goat Island.

There are fewer people now, so it’s a good place for camping. It’s really cold on the top of the mountain.

As expected of Songcheng, it's really good. First of all, the environment is nice, and the prices are incredibly low. For example, a cup of green tea is only 6 yuan, and you can even get refills! The most interesting thing is the courtesan's dance! It's truly excellent!

The back of the 1990 version of the 100-yuan note features the Five Fingers Peak of Jinggang Mountain, which is the main peak of Jinggang Mountain. Currently, tourists can only see it from a distance on the observation deck. The mountain is uninhabited and closed to the public. When you go to the observation deck, you can see the "100-yuan note" and appreciate the beauty of Jinggang Mountain.

A rare national treasure! It's a pity that the local government, perhaps due to financial and logistical constraints, hasn't fully prioritized it. Hopefully, the local cultural and broadcasting bureau will organize proper restoration and protection, along with comprehensive facilities and services. This place will definitely become a major tourist destination!

The evening activities are great now, avoiding the daytime sun. My 3-year-old is having a blast in the non-motorized play area. My 8-year-old is incredibly excited by the "Eagle Soaring in the Sky" activity.
