Zhangzhou•Yundongyan One-Day Tour Guide

From a distance, Yundongyan looks like a majestic warrior. He is clad in iron armor, wearing a huge helmet, sitting on a mountain, immovable, guarding the east gate of the ancient city of Zhangzhou. 🏞Scenic name: Yundongyan 📍Address: 🕹️Caisan Village, Lantian Town, Longwen District, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. 🛵Travel method: Electric vehicle Other: No need for 🎫 Right line↗️: Natural stone steps. Left line↙️: Artificial stairs. Up and down↕️About 2.5h. ✅Water, snacks to replenish energy. The mountain road of Yundongyan is very steep. The step road shuttles between giant rocks, and from time to time you have to drill through several caves. There are steps that are not easy to walk, and in the era without step roads, tourists can only 'climb the basket and pull the tree🌳 to reach the top' (see the stone inscription from the Ming Chenghua period on the top of the mountain). It is precisely because of the steep terrain that Yundongyan has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and there are still military fortress buildings on the mountain. ✅Thousand People Cave: It is a giant Danxia cave on the middle line climbing route of Yundongyan, named for its huge space in the cave that can accommodate a thousand people. From the situation in the cave, this should have been a cliff full of strange rocks, but one day the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and a huge rock fell down, covering the cliff completely, forming such a cave. ✅A line of sky: Coming out of the dark Thousand People Cave, what greets you is not the winding path leading to a secluded place, but a narrow crack that may get you stuck - a line of sky. I have seen 'a line of sky' several times in the mountains, but so far, the one in Yundongyan is the real deal - there is only that line, if you are a little bit fatter, you may not be able to pass. Even if you are as thin as lightning, when you pass through the line of sky sideways, you have to be mentally prepared, because the distance between the opposite rock wall and your eyes will not exceed ten centimeters, directly pulling the sense of oppression to the full.
