A neglected famous mountain in Jiangxi, a typical Danxia landform, where Su Dongpo once traveled.

Ruijin, located in the east of Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, at the west foot of the southern section of Wuyi Mountain, I believe many people know that Ruijin is a famous red tourist city with many red tourist attractions. Besides, Ruijin is a green city with beautiful natural scenery. When I visited Ruijin not long ago, I enjoyed the magnificent landscape of Ruijin, namely "Luohanyan".

Luohanyan, located about 20 kilometers northeast of Ruijin city, has very convenient transportation and the tourist highway can go directly to the foot of the mountain. Luohanyan Scenic Area is a national 4A-level tourist attraction integrating human landscape, natural landscape and religious culture, especially the Danxia landform here is particularly eye-catching and attracts many tourists.

According to legend, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Chen Wudi once lived here, hence the name "Chen Shilin", and later it was renamed as "Luohanyan" because monks excavated the 18 stone Luohan here.

Luohanyan scenic spot is huge in scale, and the core scenic spot is located at an altitude of 500 meters. Before entering the scenic spot, you can enjoy the Danxia landform here from a distance. Once you are in it, you will be attracted by the strange mountains and dense green plants here. "Strange, beautiful, quiet and elegant" is the biggest feature of Luohanyan.

Since ancient times, many literati have come here to travel, among which Su Dongpo, Wang Yangming and others have visited and praised the natural landscape of Luohanyan, leaving a beautiful poem that is well-known. There is a poem that says, "There are eight views of Mianjiang River in ancient times, which are famous in Kyushu, and the most famous one is the landscape of Chen Shi", among which "Chen Shi" refers to Luohanyan.

There are many small scenic spots in Luohanyan Scenic Area. The main scenic spots are Luohanyan, Yixiantian, Candle Peak, Tuoyan, Luohanyun Group, Suoyunqiao, Shenguishui and Zhang Qian Cliff. After entering the scenic spot, you can see a lake in a short time. Standing on the shore and looking around, the rock in the distance looks like a turtle, hence the name "turtle comes out of the water", which looks really similar.

Candle Peak is a strange peak with a diameter of about 20 meters and a height of more than 90 meters. The peak is surrounded by cliffs. There is an ancient maple tree on the top of the mountain, which is also strange after years. The candle peak is unique and unforgettable, and it is now one of the symbols of Luohanyan.

Luohanyan is a typical Danxia landform. Unlike many Danxia landforms, the temperate vegetation here is very dense. Generally speaking, the best seasons to visit here are spring and summer. The mountains are lush with vegetation, and Luohanyan Mountain is pale red and yellow. The two reflect each other from afar, showing a beautiful picture scroll in front of people, which makes people linger.

Arhat words naturally have elements related to "Arhat words". In addition to the lush trees, there is also a bamboo forest embracing the rocks. The bamboo forest landscape fills the whole scenic spot with Zen, and the stone arhats under the rocks are dotted among them. In this case, the whole person is instantly quiet, and the body has an unspeakable sense of relaxation.

Walking along the mountain road, a unique arch bridge comes into view. This stone bridge is called "Lock Cloud Bridge", which is one of the twelve scenic spots of Luohanyan. Behind the Lock Cloud Bridge is a "natural wonder". Standing on the bridge, you can see two waterfalls falling from the sky with a drop of nearly 100 meters. This bridge is also the best place to shoot waterfalls.

Natural wonders are one of the core landscapes of Luohanyan. There are caves, cliffs and waterfalls. What you see in front of you is the strange and beautiful Danxia landform. This cave, which used to be in the mountains, is really invisible without being there. The spectacular sight is even more eye-opening.

There is a step between the cliffs, which is supported by rocks and is a rock ditch that has weathered for thousands of years. This kind of landscape can often be seen on some mountains, that is, placing a wooden branch or branch between the upper and lower rock gullies can protect people from backache. If you are interested, you can try to support a branch.

Along this plank road built along the mountain, you can see a large number of stone arhats with different shapes, about 50. As mentioned earlier, there are 18 arhats excavated by monks here. Today's arhats add a lot of mystery to that legend.

In addition to the peculiar Danxia landform, the most impressive thing here is "the first sight". Although you can see the first sight in many natural scenic spots, it is even more magical here. At first glance, it is not only long and narrow, but also in the narrowest place, a person can only pass sideways. If he is fat, it is estimated that it is difficult to pass sideways.

So, have you ever been to or heard of "Luohanyan Scenic Area" in Ruijin, Ganzhou? What's your impression of the scenery here? If you had the chance, would you visit here? Welcome to leave a comment.
