🌟Highlights:
✅Luohanyan is not only a place for sightseeing, but also a kind of sentiment. It is a red land. ↗️The entire scenic spot is famous for its Danxia landform, a natural wonder. Legend has it that Emperor Wu of Chen once lived here during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Later, monks excavated 18 stone arhats here, hence the name.
✅There are mountains and water, and lush trees, ⬇️especially bamboo, which grows very lush. Because of its geographical convenience, it has also become a battlefield for guerrilla activities, and is known as a red tourist destination where "red songs echo in Luohan Rock and red tourism fills the world".
✅The mountains are strange and steep, and the lake is clear, ▶️which contrasts beautifully with the green trees around it. There are deep pools in the canyon, waterfalls on the cliff, and many cultural landscapes. Su Dongpo, Wang Yangming and others have left poems praising it.
👍️Must-visit attractions:
✔️The main attractions include Candle Peak, One Line Sky, Mixai Pond, Wanggui Stone, Youluo Pond, etc.
Candle Peak: 👏It is a huge independent stone pillar, pointed at the top and wide at the bottom, shaped like a candle. ↗️There is a perennial maple tree growing on the top. On the peak is engraved the absolute second half of the couplet by Zou Yuanbiao, a writer of the Ming Dynasty. ⏮No one has been able to match the first half until now.
Natural wonders: ☑️It is one of the most famous landscapes in the scenic area. The cave here can accommodate thousands of people, and cliffs and waterfalls gather together. 👍It is a wonderful scenery where the sky and water merge into one.
Lovers' Waterfall⏫In the "natural wonder" big cave, there are two springs, 🔼one is like a horsetail, and the other is like rice grains sifted through a farmer's rice sieve. From a distance, they look like a pair of lovers.
Suoyun Bridge: 🚩 is one of the twelve scenic spots. Standing on the bridge, you can take in the two large waterfalls, 💖 which is spectacular.
The San Diequan Waterfall is a surging waterfall. When the weather is good and the sunlight shines, the cascading water drops sparkle with colorful rainbows.
Luohan Shenyan👉 is also called Drying Clothes Rock. It has a dangerous terrain, a deep pool below, and a huge rock on top, like a natural giant bonsai. Fifty stone statues of Luohan Venerables are displayed on the right rock wall↙️
Later, the divine turtle 1 came out of the water and it was a very clean lake👏 From the lake, the opposite hillside looked like a turtle 1, so it was called the divine turtle coming out of the water. 👍Personally, I like this place best, the sunset by the lake is very beautiful.
The Line of Sky 🌀 is very much like a line, ⏮the road is very narrow, so narrow that one person has to pass sideways and walk side by side at the back, ⬇️the steepest part requires you to climb down by pulling the iron rope, and you need to use your hands and feet to get down.
Turtle Watching Platform is a polygonal viewing platform built with wooden boards by the lake, two-thirds of which is in the lake. Looking from here towards the Candle Peak, the Candle Peak and the mountain behind it form the shape of a turtle.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Battle Site✅More than a dozen adobe houses built by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Army were burned down during the war. 🔼The ruins still exist today, and the walls are still very solid and strong.
Haiyun Temple⏩is located on the main peak of Candle Peak. It has more than 200 stone steps and is often shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.
💗Other tips:
☑️There are a lot of climbing and stairs. ↘️Except for the steep stairs at Baizhang Cliff and Yixiantian, everything else is fine. Just follow the signs.
☑️Yixiantian is a bit steep, so pay attention to safety⚠️ and wear suitable shoes. 👆It is not recommended to walk Yixiantian if you are with young children or the elderly.
☑️There is a small shop on the mountain, but there are not many categories. You can prepare the right amount of water and food by yourself.
☑️It is recommended to bring a hat and a disposable raincoat or umbrella🌂. When you pass the waterfall, water will drip down and there will be water dripping on the stones.
☑️Be sure to take the battery car. There is a certain distance from the ticket area to the foot of the mountain, so you can save some energy to climb the mountain and see the scenery.
