I thought Mount Huang was already beautiful until I went here

Xu Xiake didn't deceive me! This severely underrated scenic area in Jiangxi is amazing! Compared to Mount Huang, I prefer this less crowded and easier to climb wonder peak⛰️ Danxia landform! With mountains and water! Unique peaks and strange rocks! A view at every step! Don't miss this hidden gem in Jiangxi when you visit📍 Three recommended routes🧗🏻‍♂️: 1️⃣ Tortoise Trail (2.5 hours including lake tour) Visitor Center → Osmanthus Garden → General's Tower → Hero Slope → Crape Myrtle Garden 2️⃣ Xiake Trail (3.5 hours including lake tour) Visitor Center → Tortoise Welcome → Century Path → Fairy Scattering Flowers → General's Tower → Hero Slope → Crape Myrtle Garden 3️⃣ Full Route (4 hours including lake tour) Visitor Center → Osmanthus Garden → General's Tower → Three-Way Junction → South Heavenly Pillar → Camel Peak → Turtle Peak Lake Sharing my travel experience🙋🏻‍♂️: 1️⃣ I recommend buying a combo ticket for 99 (includes scenic area entrance ticket➕sightseeing car➕boat tour) 2️⃣ Be sure to take more photos at Hero Slope, it's really cinematic! The little stone street built along the mountain is very steep as you climb🧗🏻‍♀️. It looks even more perilous in photos – drone shots would be even better 3️⃣ At Xiake Edge, after reaching the service point at General's Tower, go in the direction on the right hand side (a little walk to the right and you'll get there. It's recommended to take a photo and then head back. Continuing forward is a bit far. Return the same way and take the left path to continue up the mountain). There's a hundred-meter cliff waterfall. If it has rained before your visit, the waterfall will be huge and the photos will be stunning! 4️⃣ Camel Peak is the highest peak in the scenic area and also the summit location. You can see the whole view of Turtle Peak! 5️⃣ Turtle Peak Lake is really beautiful! When the weather is good, the lake is blue! The view from above looking down is just too beautiful!
