Red bamboo tip
Located near Shipai Village on the Changshan Overseas Chinese Farm, Hongzhujian, a peak extending eastward from the Wushan Mountain Range, is associated with the folklore story of Chen Diaowang and many bizarre plots, lending the peak a mysterious veil.
Wushan Tianchi
Located within Changshan Farm, Tianchi Lake, a pool of clear water supported by a rocky peak, sits 800 meters above sea level, covers over 300 mu (approximately 1,000 acres), and holds 4 million cubic meters of water, all formed by rainwater. Surrounded by grotesque peaks and grotesque rocks, Tianchi Lake exudes a unique charm and allure, both majestic and graceful. Famous rocks such as "Tai Chi Immortal," "Amitabha Buddha," "Lion's Roar," and "Golden Turtle Emerging from the Cave" are vividly portrayed, each with its own distinct form. Boating through the water creates a sense of "clear waters beyond the clouds, mountains appearing and disappearing," making it a truly scenic tourist destination.
