Have You Been to This 'Priceless' Scenic Spot in Yi County?

Every individual in the world has its corresponding value, no matter how much or how little, and is a one-of-a-kind existence.

Moving forward along the track of time, it’s easy to see that what has silently accompanied humankind the longest is beautiful nature. Through the rise and fall of eras, through the continuation of bloodlines, nature has remained right there, intertwined with history, walking alongside humanity to this day.

Thus, drawing close to nature is almost a primal instinct rooted in the human soul.

In Yi County, a place designated by the National Forestry Administration as 'Yizhou National Forest Park,' nature is both its most precious treasure and its most commonplace gift. Everyone has the chance to commune with nature.

So today, let’s take a look at that 'priceless' scenic spot in Yi County.

When it comes to natural scenery, many might think of Yishui Lake, Langya Mountain, and other attractions, but in fact, Yandu Ancient Town in the city center is also a wonderful place to visit.

A convenient transportation network makes the journey to the ancient town easy and hassle-free. And its open embrace of visitors from all directions means that every spur-of-the-moment impulse is met with a ready welcome. Perhaps this is where the joy of being 'priceless' lies.

And what does the ancient town hold?

It has mountains and rivers. They are nature’s gifts to humanity and the ancient town’s constant 'bosom friends.' Here, they coexist as equals, enhancing one another, weaving together a splendid tapestry of scenery for all to enjoy.

For those who love nature, mountains and water alone are not enough. So, lush, green trees and brilliantly colorful flowers are introduced into these steel-forest-like buildings, softening the city’s edges with their freshness and delicate beauty.

The meaning of 'priceless' is not to rank nature into hierarchies but to uphold the spirit of sharing, so that more people can appreciate this natural beauty and add a carefree splash of color to their ordinary lives.

Climbing mountains, boating on lakes, admiring trees, enjoying flowers. Whenever life’s pressures become unbearable, why not step outside, with free steps, go to a free place, and let your confined heart take flight once again.
