Chuanyan Nineteen Peaks
穿岩十九峰
Danxia red-stone peaks in Xinchang, with nineteen peaks forming a continuous wall above the Hanfei River, where bamboo rafting is offered. It has served as a filming location for The Return of the Condor Heroes and other productions.
Chuanyan Nineteen Peaks lies in southwest Xinchang county. Nineteen Danxia peaks connect into a screen-like ridge, named “Chuanyan” (Piercing Rock) after the tunnel that runs through one of the peaks. Together with Qianzhang Secluded Valley and Daotuoxue (Boot-Removing Rock), it forms a scenic area. Visitors can climb along boardwalks and a glass walkway for views of the peaks and the Hanfei River. The valley stream is clear, and bamboo rafting is available in summer. Admission is about 90 yuan (check on site for current prices). Allow about half a day. The site is about 20 km from Xinchang county town and 80 km from the old town of Shaoxing. Public transport is limited, so driving is recommended. It can be combined with Dafo Temple on the same day.
