There are many tourist attractions in Yandang Mountain Scenic Area in Wenzhou, many of which are worth visiting. Here is a detailed introduction for you! Be sure to take a look if you are planning to visit!
1、Lingfeng
Sunrise and sunset are both incredibly beautiful
It still preserves the secret passage of Langya Pavilion built specifically for the crew of “Nirvana in Fire”
As one of the main filming locations for “Nirvana in Fire”, no one can be immune to the magnificent mountains and waters in front of them after visiting Lingfeng. Lingfeng Ancient Cave was formed more than 600 years ago due to the rockfall, slippage and collapse of the broken structure, and the pile-up of air. There are seven caves inside, connected to each other, winding and tortuous, with strange shapes.
Ningbitan is located between the Fruit Box Rock and the Ferry Rock. The water in the pool is clear and blue, like a piece of emerald inlaid at the entrance of the Lingfeng Scenic Area, quietly flowing for thousands of years… Under the shade of green trees, a Fruit Box Bridge spans across Ningbitan, which is both delicate and elegant like the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, and also has the unrestrained and unrestrained charm unique to Yandang Mountain, allowing you to become a part of the scenery in minutes!
“Two peaks join hands, and you’re in the fairyland, nine-story dangerous building hidden in the cave.” The Hezhang Peak rises from the ground, about 270 meters high, reaching for the sky, formed by the natural fracture of the rhyolite erupted by the volcano.
As the filming location for the Chongyang Palace in “The Return of the Condor Heroes”, the Guanyin Cave, the “First Cave Heaven of Yandang Mountain”, is built against the mountain, with the nine-story pavilion perfectly integrated with the natural cave, hidden deep in the Hezhang Peak. It is always bustling with incense, and after climbing 403 winding stone steps, overlooking the bottom of the cave, it goes straight down for thousands of feet, making you far away from the mundane world.
2、Lingyan
Watch a feast of aerial dancers
“Yandang is the best in the world, Lingyan is especially extraordinary.” Lingyan, regarded as the “Bright Court” of Yandang Mountain, is actually a giant rock hundreds of feet high. It stands there like a three-story painted building. From the lower Lingyan Temple, Xiaolongqiu, to the middle Longbi Cave, Tianchuang Cave, and then to the upper Wolong Cave, Shuangzhu Valley, each has its own unique features.
The nearly 100-meter-long glass plank road is paved with three layers of laminated tempered glass. It spans across Wolong Valley, creating a landscape of its own. Standing on the plank road, Xiaolongqiu rushes towards you. On sunny days, rainbows fly in the sky, cliffs stand under your feet, beautiful beyond words, as if you have fallen into a quiet and detached paradise!
At the end of Wolong Valley, Xiaolongqiu flows straight down. Back then, Little Dragon Girl jumped off the waterfall at the top, creating this Cliff of Broken Heart. Although the past of chasing TV series is gone forever, you can still visit the real Cliff of Broken Heart and conclude a past martial arts dream.
Lingyan Feidu is a skill passed down from generation to generation by Yandang herb gatherers. It was originally a way for the people of Yandang Mountain to make a living by collecting Dendrobium nobile in mid-air, and later evolved into a high-altitude acrobatics performance. A steel cable is stretched between the top of Tianzhu Peak and Zhanqi Peak, and Lingyan transforms into the “highest aerial stage in the world”, with performers flying above it, making the audience hold their breath.
3、Yandang Mountain Waterfall Group
Smoke and water soaring, magnificent momentum
The waterfalls of Yandang Mountain are famous for their beauty, and the sheer number of waterfalls here will overturn your imagination. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking far into the distance, the distant mountains meander, white clouds swirl, beautiful beyond description. In rainy seasons, the waterfalls all over the mountain dance, the water flow like a waterfall, the roar of the waterfall like thunder, shaking the world.
“Before reaching three li away, a waterfall comes from the sky, just silent. When you look closely, it is a waterfall more than 20 feet high, and less than 20 feet below it is not a waterfall, it is all transformed into smoke.” This passage from Yuan Mei’s “Zhexi Three Waterfalls” describes the Dalongqiu.
The Dalongqiu Waterfall is backed by the iron walls of the Lianquzhai, the water rushes down from the cliff thousands of feet high, the height difference is the largest in China. Not long ago, typhoon “Haishen” landed, and the waterfall flew due to the wind, showing a “backflow” phenomenon, which is amazing.
Xiaolongqiu is a waterfall hidden in a deep valley, located at the bottom of the Yinlongzhai behind Lingyan Temple in Yandang Mountain. There is a glass plank road in Wolong Valley. Standing on the road and looking down at Xiaolongqiu, if you encounter sunshine, rainbows fly, you can see the cliff, it is magnificent.
The Three-Fold Waterfall is the most peculiar waterfall in Yandang Mountain. Because it is located in a high cliff and deep valley, it is rarely visited by people. Xu Xiake passed by twice but did not enter. It was not until the Republic of China period that it gradually attracted people’s attention. A stream of water passes through three cliffs, cascading into three different waterfalls, the upper, middle, and lower, cascading down from the top of the cave, the cliff is concave, creating the magnificent momentum of the waterfall being thrown from the top.
Compared to other waterfalls in Yandang Mountain, Yanwei Waterfall is unique in its shape. The water of Jinxi River flows around the West Dragon Gate, touches the stone and splits into two streams, shaped like a swallow’s tail. After a rain, the mountain is full of rain, the waterfall is naturally more obvious, the two waterfalls are like two swallow tails, very cute.
4、Fangdong
Green peaks and emerald valleys + peculiar rocks and strange caves
Fangdong is named after its shape, which is slightly square, but it is not the kind of penetrating mountain cave you imagine, but a recess in a cliff, recording the vicissitudes of Yandang Mountain over hundreds of millions of years. A plank road over 100 meters long has been built on the cliff, also known as ↑ “Yinyan Tianlang”, leading directly to Yantian Lake, only built with iron railings, leaning over the railing to look down, you will be scared out of your wits if you are not careful.
The most distinctive feature of Fangdong is this ↑ suspended iron chain bridge unique to Yandang Mountain, which many tourists who are afraid of heights will shy away from. It is said that if you hold hands with your loved one and walk through it, you will be together for life. Walking on the steep cliff, every grass and every tree in front of you seems to be imbued with an immortal aura.
When the humidity is just right, you are lucky enough to encounter the unique sea of clouds in Fangdong. Lingshan stores clouds, and they emerge in the morning. After rain and clear skies, a light mist hangs in the air, like a misty fairyland, light clouds and smoke gather slowly, and soon a sea of clouds gathers.
Most people haven’t fully explored Yandang Mountain. There are new ways to play in the old scenic area.
5、Xianshengmen
The echo of the mountains and valleys
Xianshengmen is a “stone gate” formed by two cliffs facing each other. The two gates are about 200 meters high and only 10 meters apart. It is known as the “First Gate in the World”. The gate is surrounded by sheer cliffs, towering and silent; the stream gurgles underfoot, the scenery is extremely secluded; looking up, the top is complex, only leaving a gap, “It is not noon or midnight, and the sun and moon are not visible,” which is amazing!
6、Xianqiao
A fairy curve that soars through the air
Xianqiao Scenic Area is located at the northernmost tip of Yandang Mountain. Legend has it that it is where Prince Jin, a fairy, rode a crane to fly. Therefore, many places are related to this flying fairy: Xianqiao, Xian Pavilion, Xian Creek, Immortal Cave, Longhu, Chui Xiao Peak… Within 100 square kilometers of the scenic area, the mountains are filled with the refreshing and ethereal aura of immortals.
7、Yangjiao Cave
The melodious sounds of Taoism
As a branch of Yandang Mountain that stretches out to the side, Yangjiao Cave Scenic Area is a place where Taoists cultivate their temperament and practice their art. It is the scenic spot with the most Chinese folk religious culture among the eight scenic spots in Yandang Mountain. Wang Xizhi once described it in “Journey to Four Prefectures”: “There is Fangcheng Mountain at the southern border of Linhai, standing alone like a city”, which shows its vastness.
8、Yanhu
Welcome a perfect sunrise
Located at the northern end of Lingyan Scenic Area, it is named Yanhu because it was called the “Home of Wild Geese” by Xu Xiake. Among the many beautiful mountains and waters in Yandang Mountain, there are many places to watch the sunrise, but the best one is still the Baishangganjian. At dawn, the sun rises in the east, and the clouds below the mountain stretch as far as the eye can see, rising and surging with the wind, like rolling waves, majestic and magnificent.
