Tongtianyan is full of strength and has won the reputation of the first grotto in the south of the Yangtze River

Ganzhou is an underestimated tourist city. Such a worthwhile scenic spot has few people, shaded trails, surrounded by lakes, immersed in it, pleasing to the eye, refreshing. I listen to the birdsong, the sound of running water, and the sound of the wind blowing through the forest. Here is so quiet that any sound becomes more obvious, acorns fall to the ground, fish blow bubbles on the surface of the lake, bamboo bursts its coat... I came here alone, no one talked to me, completely immersed in it. I was moved by the scenery in front of me, and shocked by the national treasure grottoes preserved here. From Ganzhou city to Tongtianyan scenic area is only more than ten kilometers, here is the typical Danxia landform of the sandstone mountain, there are 315 grottoes, 359 body statues mainly distributed on the rock wall. These stone niches and statues were opened in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there are also later and modern statues. The huge reclining Buddha was built in 1998, which will also become a cultural relic in the eyes of future generations. The statues around Guangfu Chanlin Temple still have 8 Tang Dynasty statues, one of which is called priceless by Mr. Shen Congwen, and there are also Song Dynasty Huayan Three Saints stone niche statues. Although Tongtianyan scenic area is not as shocking as the famous mountains and rivers, it has thousands of years of historical memory; although it is not as famous as the northern grottoes, it can also fully win the reputation of "the first grotto in the south of the Yangtze River". Pan Pan highly recommends it! Tickets: 30 yuan for adults, discounts for children and the elderly, no secondary consumption inside. Tour time and tips: The tour route is divided into inner and outer rings. The inner ring includes the statues divided into five rocks and takes 2 hours; the outer ring includes climbing and circling the lake. If you walk well, it takes 5 hours. The mountains here are not high, the scenery is very good, and there are small shops selling water and packaged snacks. It is recommended to bring some food, and water can be bought on site. Remember to take the garbage away. The toilet facilities are in good condition.
