Live Your Best Lives
Yinpingzui is located at the junction of Xiegang Town and Huizhou City. It is connected to Baiyunzhang in Huiyang County to the east. The main peak is 898 meters high. It is named because it looks like a silver bottle from a distance.
According to legend, Guanyin Bodhisattva was traveling in the south and was attracted by the beautiful scenery of Yinping Mountain. She stopped there unconsciously. When she was reluctant to leave, she left her lotus seat and treasure bottle here, which turned into Lotus Seat Mountain and Yinpingzui.
The mountaintop is often shrouded in mist, with ever-changing clouds and rain, like a series of exquisite and tangible paintings of life. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can see several peaks connected in the distance, layer upon layer, towering and undulating. The mountain water flows slowly from a stream to the Shigu Reservoir. A silver ribbon frames the two mountains, making them look particularly beautiful.
The trees, flowers and grasses in the mountains are evergreen all year round
