     Hanxianyan is located in Yunmenling, Huichang County, at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi provinces, and features the most typical Danxia landform in southern Jiangxi. Legend has it that this is the place where Han Zhongli—one of the “Eight Immortals”—attained immortality, so besides the bizarre and varied Danxia rock formations, visitors can also find landscapes related to the culture of the Eight Immortals and learn about their legends through sculptures.

     The main way to explore the scenic area is on foot. Some of the more challenging mountain passes offer a bit of an adventurous feel. After passing through the Hezhang Gate—formed by two large rocks joined together—you officially begin your tour of Hanxianyan. This gate is very narrow, allowing only one person to crawl through carefully. Behind it lies an open space resembling a courtyard, with many inscriptions on the stone walls. The most eye-catching is Wen Tianxiang’s inscription “Long Live the Emperor.” Later in the tour, the Yaizi Fanshipan (Partridge Turning Over) is the most thrilling part, and after walking through the One-Line Sky, you’ll reach a mountain pass with a path leading up to the summit on the left. There is a temple on the mountain, and it is said that prayers and wishes made there come true.

     It is a provincial-level scenic area. Huichang Hanxianyan is situated at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi provinces. It is named after the legend that Han Zhongli, one of the Eight Immortals, attained enlightenment and became immortal here. The area boasts uniquely shaped mountains and rocks, with ever-changing and spectacular scenery that combines beauty with wonder. Everything you see here is a breathtaking sight. There are 36 scenic spots in total, each with its own sub-scenes and associated legends. Examples include Elephant Coming Out of the Mountain, Monk’s Hat Rock, Stone Bamboo Shoot Peak, Eagle Perching Rock, Lion Rock, Turtle Rock, Tiger Head Rock, Monkey Gazing at the Moon, and Dragon Stone Ascending to Heaven… These naturally formed attractions resemble human figures and animals, vividly lifelike and sparking the imagination. The scenic area features many sheer cliffs and perilous peaks that tower into the sky. Dangerous rocks jut out abruptly, making you dizzy when you look up, as if they might fall at any moment, setting your heart and courage trembling. The One-Line Sky is as narrow, deep, perilous, and serene as a knife-cut crevice. Each spot in Hanxianyan offers a unique combination of danger, wonder, beauty, and charm.
