Gao Yiling: a "fantastic work" for hundreds of millions of years

Gao Yiling: Hundreds of millions of years of "strange skills", which is a gift from nature.

Between the circuitous canyons, the ridge extends all the way up, as if straight into the sky. Here, it was once called "the place forgotten by God". Until the last two years, the aerial short video of Gaoyiling was circled on the Internet, and this mysterious Danxia landform once again entered the world's field of vision and became the punching point of online celebrities.

Danxia in Chenzhou is one of the largest concentrated distribution areas of Danxia landform found in China at present, and it is known as "all over the world". Gaoyiling is undoubtedly the most outstanding representative and symbol of beauty in Danxia landform of Chenzhou.

Climb the "ladder" and then climb to the top, and the infinite scenery is at the dangerous peak.

When vehicles pass by Chen Yong Avenue, you can see a large area of exposed maroon rocks on both sides of the road, as if watching a trailer of Danxia wonders, which makes people look forward to the "positive film" of Gaoyiling more and more.

Entering the scenic spot, tourists' eyes are attracted by a mountain in front of them, and the ridge extends all the way up. This is also the steepest mountain in Gaoyiling-Meilitan. As the name suggests, the scenery is beautiful. But to enjoy such a beautiful scenery, you have to climb a "ladder" from the foot of the mountain.

But the closer you get to the top of the mountain, the steeper the steps become. When you are near the top, look back and look down. The mountain at the foot seems to be as steep as a knife, and I can't help shivering. It seems to be only 100 meters high, and it took nearly 15 minutes to finish the sprint. Boarding the beautiful temple and looking around, I can see the long and narrow Chibi Canyon, and finally understand the sentence "Infinite scenery on the dangerous peak" in the introduction column at the foot of the mountain.

Bypass Meitan, go deep into the canyon and come to Longjibei, a landmark scenic spot in Gaoyiling. This is a narrow mountain with bare ridges and steep cliffs on both sides, just like the back of a dragon. According to legend, anyone who comes to Gaoyiling and walks through the Dragon Ridge will be blessed by the Dragon Ridge, and their future life will be as pleasant as the Dragon Ridge.

Walking on the narrow Longji Mountain Road, overlooking Bibo Lake, with steep Chibi Danxia at the foot, you can appreciate the unique beauty of Gaoyiling and understand why this ridge fascinates countless photographers. According to the person in charge of Gaoyiling Scenic Area, he himself is a senior photographer, and many friends around him have traveled thousands of miles to shoot at Gaoyiling, and several videos have been played more than10 million times.

Gaoyiling used to be a "wild mountain" When there is no development and renovation, few people go to visit. After becoming popular on the internet, the local government began to upgrade this "wild mountain", repairing plank roads, crossing bridges and building landscapes. , and also developed high-altitude bicycles, cliff swings, flying zip lines and other entertainment projects. Gaoyiling has become a scenic spot that everyone can get close to and enjoy. Gaoyiling Scenic Area was officially opened to the public. In less than a year, it received domestic and foreign tourists 1 10,000 person-times.

300 years ago, "the first travel blogger in China" also came here to punch in.

In fact, as early as more than 300 years ago, the famous traveler Xu Xiake, the "originator of travel bloggers", came here to step on the spot for everyone. Tian Fei National Geopark adjacent to Gaoyiling is the largest Danxia landform area in China. Cuijiang River crosses the scenic spot and goes down the river by boat. You can see the scenery of Feng Dan, red cliffs and clear water, grotesque caves and hanging coffins on the cliffs. When Xu Xiake traveled here, he once praised "every inch of land is beautiful and every mountain is strange", and the world even praised it as "the blessed land of Nanling and the pearl of southern Hunan".

Danxia landform of Gaoyiling, which is backed by Tian Fei Mountain, is once again known to the public through the Internet. Nature has polished these winding mountains and canyons for hundreds of millions of years, making green lakes and red rocks complement each other. This original ecological landscape, which integrates clear water and mountains, is very different from other Danxia landforms in China.

Wang Anshi once wrote, "The world is magnificent and strange. Wonders often lie in danger, but people are very rare. Where there is a will, there is a way." Nowadays, the upgraded Gaoyiling Scenic Area is no longer a "dangerous place", but also allows the world to appreciate its "extraordinary scenery" and harvest this gift created by nature through hundreds of millions of years of "extraordinary work".
