Introducing Huafeng

Huafeng Peak, located within the Tianzhu Mountain Scenic Area, lies just southwest of the main peak, Tianzhu Peak. Its cliffs, split like swords on either side, create deep and even fissures, earning it the nickname " Little Heavenly Gate . " Huafeng's overall shape is similar to the main peak, earning it the nickname " Little Heavenly Pillar . "

This peak is 1,380 meters above sea level. On the top of the peak, there are strange rocks overlapping and cracking like chrysanthemum petals. Gazing at the petals, they seem to be fluttering in the breeze, which is very magical.
