Scenic spots:
Via Ferrata
Known as the No. 1 Via Ferrata in Lingnan, the thrilling route challenges the courage and intelligence of the participants. It is a climbing method that uses iron ropes and foot pedals to climb cliffs.
Walking on the Danxia cliffs hundreds of meters high, combining technology and courage, venturing into danger, and meeting at the peak. As the saying goes: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb." There are intermediate and advanced Via Ferrata routes, and challengers can choose the route that suits them according to their actual situation.
Hollow Iron Rope Bridge
The iron rope bridge is 163 meters long and built on the Danxia red cliffs at an altitude of 179 meters, connecting the Danxia mountains on both sides. The bridge deck is covered with steel wire mesh, and it is suspended on all sides, connecting the mountains and flying into the sky. If your body allows, you can experience the thrill and excitement of "walking on the bridge, chasing the soul behind" on the bridge.
Spiral Staircase
One turn and one rise; climbing up, one step at a time, one thrill at a time, one scenery at a time. After reaching the top, you can see the scene of "fish leaping over the dragon gate". The spiral staircase is also called the "transfer ladder" by many tourists.
Turning Stone into Gold
The Turning Stone into Gold scenic spot is called "Buddha's Hand" or "Fortune Hand" by many people. It stands on the top of the mountain, looking like the palm of the Tathagata Buddha from afar, powerful and attractive. When you visit here, be sure to touch this "golden palm", and the days to come will surely bring you "good luck and turn stone into gold".
