Jinyun Xiandu:-
A must-visit core attraction! The Dinghu Peak towers into the clouds, and the reflection at dawn when misty is breathtakingly beautiful! The old farmer leading an ox across the bridge on Zutan Mountain resembles a Chinese ink painting, (check the timetable: 9:30 AM, 11:00 AM, 2:30 PM, 4:00 PM) even more photogenic on rainy days! The Danxia cliffs of Xiao Chibi look as if they've been scorched by fire, hiking along the trail is incredibly impressive you can also visit Niweng Cave on your way
