A Poetic Journey to an Earthly Paradise

Stepping into Xiandu Scenic Area is like wandering into a slowly unfolding landscape painting. Dinghufeng Peak, known as the "Number One Peak Under Heaven," stands 170.8 meters tall, piercing the sky like a spring bamboo shoot. Shrouded in mist year-round, it resembles a gateway to paradise. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor once refined elixirs and ascended to heaven here, imbuing this land with a mystical cultural heritage. As you walk along the bluestone paths, surrounded by lush vegetation, graceful egrets, and playful macaques, the vitality of nature is palpable. Take a cable car or hike to the Bushu Mountain viewing platform to overlook Dinghufeng Peak and the panoramic view of Xiandu. The rolling hills and churning sea of clouds create a sense of being suspended between heaven and earth, allowing you to experience the wonders of nature's craftsmanship. Zhutan Mountain offers a different kind of charm, named after Zhu Xi, who once lectured here. The mountain boasts clear waters and lush greenery, creating a picturesque landscape. Standing on Xiandi Embankment, the grandeur of Dinghufeng Peak complements the elegance of Zhutan Mountain, forming a breathtaking scene. In the early morning or evening, the sun casts a shimmering glow on the river, enhancing the beauty of the distant green mountains and the nearby willow garden, making it a perfect spot for photos. If you happen to encounter the performance of the old man leading an ox, the rustic idyllic charm will surely captivate you.
