Changtan Tourist Resort
Changtan Tourist Resort is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.
The Changtan tourist destination is located in the northwest of Baima Village, Changtan Town, north of Jiaocheng. It is one of the "Top 100 Scenic Spots of Southern Guangdong" and a renowned tourist attraction. Surrounded by mountains and dikes, with vast stretches of green water, it boasts eight scenic highlights celebrated across three provinces. Its mountains resemble the Wu Gorge, its waters echo the beauty of Xiaoxiang, and its vistas mirror those of the Li River—each step offers a new view, rich in picturesque charm.
Here, rugged peaks rise abruptly, cliffs hang suspended, and the emerald waters between two green mountains rush into the Shikou River, then cascade into the Meijiang River, eventually joining the Han River. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful, and the "Changtan Moonlit Night" is one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Jiaoling. Other designated highlights within Changtan include the "One-Line Sky," "Twin Gates," "Ermagu Mountain," "Dripping Rock Cave," "High Platform Nunnery," "Floating Moon over Water" (referring to the Changtan Moonlit Night), "Tianma Mountain," "Danjiu Shrine," and "Grandmother Carrying Granddaughter."
Changtan Tourist Resort is about 5 kilometers from Jiaoling County town, covering an area of 20.5 square kilometers. It lies at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi provinces. With its stretch of emerald waters and undulating green mountains on either side, it has been described as "resembling the Wu Gorge in form and the Li River in scenery." In the early 1960s, the beauty of Changtan was featured on the covers of both People's Pictorial and Guangdong Pictorial. Since then, its fame has spread far and wide, attracting hundreds of thousands of domestic and international tourists every year who come to revel in its splendor and linger endlessly.
