A Travelogue of Yandang Mountain

Yandang Mountain, known as the "Number One Mountain in Southeast China," is famous for its "strange peaks and bizarre rocks, ancient caves and stone chambers, and flying waterfalls and flowing springs." Upon entering the scenic area, you immediately see peaks as if carved, with rugged stone cliffs, as if crafted by nature itself. The Lingyan Scenic Area is the most spectacular. Tianzhu Peak and Zhanqi Peak face each other from afar, with a steel cable suspended in the air between them, where thrilling flying performances take place. Although the Xiaolongqiu Waterfall is in its dry season, the flow patterns on the steep cliff record hundreds of millions of years of geological changes, still retaining an elegant charm. The most fascinating is "Scissor Peak," which from a distance looks like sharp scissors cutting through the sky, and up close resembles a crocodile raising its head, with changing views at every step, full of delight. Yandang Mountain combines "majestic, strange, perilous, beautiful, secluded, and profound" features, truly deserving the title of "Famous Mountain by the Sea." This trip made me realize that the wonder of mountains and waters lies not only in their form but also in their spirit.
