Stroll along the plank road and feel the wonders of nature; every step is a beautiful scene📸 ● Zifang Lake: After leaving Hongshi Gorge, you can visit Zifang Lake. The water is clear and green, with green mountains reflected on both sides, like a beautiful landscape painting. You can also take a boat here and enjoy a leisurely time🚢 ● Tanpu Gorge: Here you can see the beautiful scenery of "a spring every three steps, a waterfall every five steps, and a pool every ten steps." Walk along the canyon and admire the various waterfalls and deep pools, as if in a fairy tale world. ● Quanpu Gorge: Mainly to see Asia’s largest single-drop waterfall — Yuntai Heavenly Waterfall. However, the water volume of the waterfall varies by season. If you’re lucky enough to see the spectacular waterfall cascading down, it’s definitely worth it💦 ● Macaque Valley: Animal lovers must not miss this place. Many wild macaques live here; they are lively and cute, but be careful not to feed them casually to avoid being scratched🐵 Day 2: Zhuyu Peak - Phoenix Ridge Glass Walkway ● Zhuyu Peak: "Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, I miss my family doubly on festive days. Knowing my brothers climb high places, each wearing zhuyu, one less person." This poem by Wang Wei made Zhuyu Peak famous. Climb Zhuyu Peak and look far into the distance; the mountains stretch endlessly, shrouded in mist, giving a feeling of "standing on the summit, overlooking all other mountains." The climb may be tiring, but when you stand on the top, all fatigue will vanish😌 ● Phoenix Ridge Glass Walkway: Near Zhuyu Peak, thrill-seekers must try this. Walking on the glass walkway, there is a deep abyss beneath your feet and misty mountains all around. The feeling is both thrilling and wonderful. But if you have acrophobia, be cautious😜 Food Recommendations😋 ● Xiuwu Black Goat: The meat is tender and free of any gamey taste. Whether braised or stewed, it’s very delicious. ● Naotang Donkey Meat: One of Yuntai Mountain’s specialty foods. The donkey meat is delicate, and the soup is fresh and tasty, leaving a lasting impression. ● Farmhouse dishes on Yuntai Mountain: Wild vegetables, mountain mushrooms, etc., all pure natural green foods, healthy and delicious.
