Guide

Gaoyiling Scenic Area is located in Suxian District, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, at the junction of Feitianshan and Dongjiang Lake. It is an astonishing original ecological Danxia landform wonder. Dominated by rolling red rock mountains, the red sandstone, with almost no vegetation cover, shines brightly under the sun, complementing the emerald green lake water dotted among the mountains, forming a vivid, primitive, and wild natural masterpiece. It is an exploration paradise for outdoor hikers and photography enthusiasts.
The most iconic and thrilling landscape in the scenic area is the "Giant Lizard Lake." From a high vantage point, a long, winding mountain range lies in the clear lake water, resembling a giant lizard. Visitors can personally walk on the winding plank road, which is like the back of a giant lizard. On one side are steep cliffs, as if carved by a knife and axe, and on the other side is the shimmering, deep green lake water. Amidst a quickening heartbeat, one can immerse themselves in the ingenious craftsmanship and magnificent momentum of nature.
In addition to the challenging cliff walkway, climbing to the highest point of Gaoyiling along the mountain road offers panoramic views of the vast Danxia mountains, clear waterways, and distant pastoral villages. Due to the sparse vegetation and lack of obstructions in the scenic area, the red rocks and green waters under a clear sky create a strong visual impact. Whether you are a backpacker eager to get close to nature or a travel expert seeking novel landscapes, you can embark on a breathtaking mountain journey in this unique landform sculpted by time.
