This seriously underrated hidden gem took my breath away

Family, I just got back from Jiangxi and discovered a hidden treasure — Jiangxi Guifeng Scenic Area!
Red cliffs of Danxia, towering peaks, boats gliding over emerald waves, and a fairyland of green fields 🧚‍♀️... Not only is it beautiful and uncrowded, but after some research, I found out 👀

📷 Must-visit spots:

【Fairyland of Green Fields】Stepping in here feels like entering a hidden fairy tale world in the mundane! Occasionally, mist sprays out, and the Tyndall effect instantly amps up the atmosphere, with tiny water droplets sparkling in the air. When the sunlight hits, every shot looks like a movie still, and any casual edit looks stunning. Share it and you’ll definitely get asked, “Where was this magical place shot?”

【Hero Slope】The steps on Hero Slope are carved into the Danxia rock wall, almost vertical, and the aerial view is absolutely breathtaking!

【Golden Bell Peak】Climb to the top of Golden Bell Peak, and besides being speechless at the stunning view, there’s a delightful surprise — a rocking horse! The scenery is breathtaking and full of childlike fun! You must try it!

【Guifeng Lake】
You must visit Guifeng Lake! You can choose a boat or bamboo raft ride. The lake shimmers gently, surrounded by towering peaks. “Boating on emerald waves, people travel inside a painting” — it truly feels like stepping into a fairyland. The photo opportunities are stunning!

【Night Show】
Don’t miss the evening performances! Intangible cultural heritage fire pot/iron flower shows (daily at 7:30 PM), live performances (8:00 PM), cliff 3D light shows, holographic images — a fusion of elements vividly bringing to life the millennium-old culture of Yiyang. It’s truly breathtaking to watch!!

🏨 Accommodation:
Inside the scenic area is the Huajianling·Bishui Danxin Hotel, with an excellent location. Open your window and you can see the stunning peaks. Staying here feels like being inside a landscape painting.

Now I finally understand why Xu Xiake said, “The wonders of Guifeng’s peaks and ridges are unmatched even by Yandang!” This trip was definitely worth it~
Yiyang Guifeng Scenic Area isn’t full of commercial gimmicks, the mountains aren’t too steep, it’s not tiring to walk, and there’s no crowding!
Every snap is a perfect Danxia cliff and green lake view ⛰
For those who truly want peace and beautiful photos, go go go~
