Yashan Scenic Area (Dayu)
丫山
A national 4A-level scenic area and rural resort on the eastern outskirts of Dayu county town, combining mountains, valleys, an ancient temple, flower fields and farm guesthouses in one place.
Yashan lies in Huanglong Town, Dayu County, Ganzhou, about 10 km from Dayu county town. It is named after its twin peaks, which stand side by side in the shape of the letter 'Y'. The scenic area is known for its forests, valleys and rural resort life. On the mountain are the Lingyan Ancient Temple, first built in the Tang dynasty, the Yashan Waterfall and valley trails. At the foot of the mountain are flower fields, farmland, family play areas and many guesthouses and hotels. Evening performances are often held, making it a popular weekend destination for Ganzhou residents. The main gate ticket costs from tens to around a hundred yuan, depending on the package (combination tickets include sightseeing shuttles). Opening hours are generally 08:00–18:30, subject to official channels. The upper part of the mountain road is steep, so visitors can take the scenic area's off-road vehicle to the top. It is about 40–60 minutes by car from Chongyi or Shangyou, and can be combined with the Meiguan Ancient Road in one day.
