Must-visit spots & experiences
1. Main Peak Area of Nineteen Peaks
Climb to the top for a panoramic view of the nineteen continuous peaks, each with its own name. The most classic is the "Through Rock Nineteen Peaks," where you pass through a cave at the base of the peaks, looking up at a strip of sky. This spot was also used as a filming location for martial arts dramas like "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes," full of martial arts atmosphere.
2. Feilong Walkway
An aerial corridor hanging on a cliff, nearly 200 meters long. Walking on it, beneath your feet is a hundred-meter deep abyss, with Danxia cliffs on both sides—thrilling and exciting. The walkway connects two peaks and is the necessary path to higher ground.
3. Glass Walkway
The highlight of Feilong Walkway. The fully transparent glass lets you experience "walking in the air." Those afraid of heights may feel their legs go weak, while the brave will gain an unparalleled visual shock and photo opportunities.
4. Qianzhang Valley
A deep gorge with babbling streams and shaded green trees. In contrast to the steep peaks, this place is especially tranquil. You can stroll along the creekside trail or take a small train for an easy tour, enjoying the coolness at the valley bottom.
Itinerary suggestions
One-day highlight tour: Arrive in the morning, first challenge Feilong Walkway and Glass Walkway, have lunch at a farmhouse restaurant at the foot of the mountain, visit Qianzhang Valley in the afternoon, and return in the evening.
Two-day in-depth tour: Same as above on the first day, stay overnight at a guesthouse in Jingling Town. On the second day, visit nearby Chongyang Palace or Waipokeng Village to experience more local culture.
Food recommendations
Xinchang fried rice cakes, soft and chewy with rich ingredients. Zha Mian, a local specialty snack, can be served in soup or stir-fried. Taro dumplings, with a soft skin and delicious filling. Farmhouse dishes like native chicken stew and creek fish, authentic flavors.
Practical tips
Spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit. Be sure to wear comfortable sports shoes. Prepare sun protection and mosquito repellent. Travel light when hiking and bring enough water. Pay attention to safety on the glass walkway and during climbs. Holidays are crowded, so off-peak travel offers a better experience. Bring a camera—everywhere here is a scenic spot.
