Guifeng Scenic Area

Guifeng Scenic Area, located in Yiyang County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, is an important part of the "China Danxia" World Natural Heritage site and a national 5A-level tourist attraction. It is renowned for its exceptionally well-developed Danxia landforms. The area gets its name from the countless oddly shaped rocks and peaks that resemble thousands of turtles in various postures, earning it the reputation of "Guifeng on the river is rare in the world" and "no mountain is not a turtle, no rock is not a turtle." It is a stunning natural sightseeing destination that integrates unique peaks, strange rocks, secluded valleys, and beautiful waters.

Visitors entering the scenic area can traverse the Danxia peak forest along winding paths, checking in at iconic象形奇石 (pictographic strange rocks) such as Laoren Peak (Old Man Peak), Shenggui Yingbin (Divine Turtle Welcoming Guests), and Sandie Gui (Three-tiered Turtle) along the way, marveling at the ingenious carving art of nature up close. In addition to hiking and sightseeing, you can also choose to take a boat ride on the clear and green Qingshui Lake, admiring the reflections of the red cliffs and Danxia on both banks amidst the shimmering water, experiencing the unique artistic conception of "boats sailing on blue waves, people traveling in a painting." This combination of water and land allows for a comprehensive appreciation of the charm of the Danxia landscape.

As a highly representative geological wonder in Shangrao and even Jiangxi, Guifeng Scenic Area is not only suitable for tourists who love outdoor hiking and geological photography but also an excellent choice for family leisure and parent-child vacations. The mountains here are gentler compared to other famous mountains, offering a relaxed and pleasant touring experience. Whether exploring the diverse turtle-shaped strange rocks or breathing fresh air amidst the lake and mountains, visitors can achieve complete physical and mental relaxation in this symphony of red rocks and green trees.
