Lianyungang Huaguoshan Travel Guide
Scenic spot introduction:
Lianyungang Huaguoshan Scenic Area is famous at home and abroad because Wu Chengen took the material for his mythological novel "Journey to the West" from here. The mountains are known as the "hometown of Monkey King" for their undulating sea of clouds, dense forests, and green bamboos. As the main peak of the Yuntai Mountains and the highest peak of all mountains in Jiangsu, Huaguoshan is full of birdsong and flowers in spring, rapid waterfalls in summer, picturesque scenery in autumn, and snow-covered in winter. If you visit Huaguoshan on a sunny day, you can climb the mountain and look far away, with the sunrise over the sea, the vast sea, and the dotted sails. You will feel as if you are "out of this world"; if it rains, you can climb Huaguoshan, with the sea of clouds and fog, as if you are in a painting or in a fairyland.The cultural landscape of Huaguo Mountain has a long history and rich cultural heritage. Ancient buildings, ancient sites, ancient stone carvings, and the traces of literati and poets from past dynasties are scattered throughout the mountain. Li Bai once wrote "If I don't return tomorrow, I will sink into the blue sea, and the white clouds will fill the Cangwu with sorrow", and Su Shi once said "The lush Cangwu sea and the mountain, the abbot of Penglai is indistinct", which is enough to show the beauty of the scenery here.
