Hidden Gems in Jiangxi | Yiyang Guifeng in Shangrao, Jiangxi

Yiyang in Shangrao is home to a little-known wonderland - Guifeng. It lies quietly on the south bank of Xinjiang River in Yiyang County, bordering Shangrao to the east and Yingtan to the west. It echoes with the three mountains of Sanqing, Longhu, and Wuyi, but is like a beautiful woman who is independent from the world, exuding her charm in a low-key manner. The mountain of Guifeng looks like a giant tortoise, hence the name. Its peaks are strange and steep, and Xu Xiake once came here and praised it as "the wonders of Guifeng are not found in Yandang."
