Live Your Best Lives
Located in Chagan Town, 57 kilometers north of Pingyuan County, the Five Finger Rocks are a majestic sight, resembling five outstretched fingers piercing the sky. The scenic area boasts unique mountains and scenery, dense forests, and clear springs, earning it the nickname "Chagan, the most beautiful place in the world, is a little Guilin."
The legend of the Taiping Buddha's battle against the black snake demon, and the historical legacy of Emperor Longwu's anti-Qing and restorationist campaign, have created a breathtaking sight : the Five Finger Stone. The Buddhist chants echo through the Stone Forest Temple, amidst curling clouds; the waters of the Clever Spring flow endlessly, the thin line of sky shields the air from light rain and chilly winds; and the thousand-year-old maple trees, with their robust branches, tower like clouds ...
Besides these, Wuzhishi offers another must-see attraction: the Pingyuan Sky Path, where you can walk through the clouds and soar over cliffs! The 3,000-meter path traverses cliffs and occasionally forests, sometimes steep, sometimes winding through forests. The journey is a thrilling experience, filled with emotion and exclamations. The Pingyuan Sky Path truly embodies a unique wonder created by the blend of human sculpture and natural creation.
Wuzhishi has a subtropical monsoon climate, with mild spring, mild summer, mild autumn and mild winter.
The Wuzhishi Scenic Area covers a large area and is mainly divided into the Tiandao Scenic Area and the Wuzhifeng Scenic Area. You can visit the area by combining the scenic bus and cable car with walking.
