Danqian

　　 When speaking of Danqian, we are reminded of the moving poem "Inscription on the Wall at Mount Guazhou in Jiangxi" by Xin Qiji, a renowned patriotic statesman of his time. The beautiful natural scenery of Danqian has inspired boundless poetic sentiment among literati, leaving behind many timeless verses.

　　 Danqian is a border town in the southern part of Wan’an County, Ji’an City, which was once part of the revolutionary base area of Jinggangshan. It borders the Gan River to the east, adjoins Shadi Town of Ganzhou City to the south, and neighbors Xiazao Town and Shaping Town of the same county to the northwest and southwest respectively. It is 60 km from Ganzhou Railway Station, 18 km from National Highway 105, 80 km from Jinggangshan Airport, 42 km from Wan’an County seat, and 20 km from the interchange of the Gan-Guang Expressway. The township covers a total area of 115.42 square kilometers, comprising five administrative villages and 97 villager groups, with a total population of 12,500.

　　 The terrain of Danqian is mainly hilly, with mountainous areas spanning 130,833 mu, arable land covering 12,985 mu, and water surfaces of 6,500 mu. The Danqian River runs through the entire region. The area receives an average annual rainfall of 1,430.5 mm, featuring a typical subtropical humid climate. With forest coverage exceeding 80%, the air is rich in oxygen ions, making it a natural oxygen bar.

　　 Danqian is abundant in mineral resources. The soil is rich in selenium, and minerals such as silica, fluorite, potassium feldspar, rare earth elements, tungsten, and copper are widely distributed with large reserves. There are also high-quality mineral water resources that have passed provincial testing with all indicators meeting standards.

　　 Danqian boasts uniquely advantageous tourism resources. The region features lush mountains and beautiful waters, with picturesque scenery. It is home to Shangluo Huaguo Lake, considered the most beautiful reservoir lake along the thousand-li Gan River, where the lake winds with three bends and nine turns, the water surface shimmers blue, and verdant mountains stretch along the shores—absolutely breathtaking. The Dragon Upper Waterfall cascades straight down like a white silk hanging from a cliff. The Zilin Triple Falls, with a drop of 180 meters, is even more majestic and spectacular, forming a hidden earthly wonder deep in the mountains. Other attractions include precipitous cliffs ideal for rock climbing, the ancient tomb of Xu Gui, a Song Dynasty scholar-official, the Buddhist sanctuary Donglin Temple built in the late Ming Dynasty, the vividly shaped "Yue Fei’s Boot-Hanging Stone" from the Southern Song Dynasty, and the "Wumu Prayer for Peace Under Heaven" stone inscription, with every character sharp as stone—all making for wonderful sightseeing destinations.

　　 "Where is Tao Yuanming now? Perhaps he’s tilling the fields in Peach Blossom Land." The beautiful natural scenery, unique geographical location, and superior cultural environment form Danqian’s idyllic living conditions reminiscent of a “Land of Peach Blossoms.”

　　 In the 1960s and 1970s, the people of Danqian fought to reclaim mountains and harness waters, battling nature and achieving remarkable results, earning the glorious historical praise of “Learn from Dazhai afar, learn from Danqian nearby.” The “Danqian Spirit” continues to inspire generations to strive forward bravely. In the new era, the people of Danqian uphold the legacy of their predecessors, fear no hardships, and work diligently to achieve new and greater successes in socialist construction: the rural economy is developing steadily, the living standards of farmers continue to rise, and progress in education, science, technology, and culture is accelerating. Economic and social development is moving towards a comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable direction. Danqian is emerging before everyone with a brand-new look.
