China offers endless travel possibilities and its well off the beaten track for the most part. There are not a lot of English speakers in the world's largest country but that doesn't matter - the place is fantastic. There's a really good scenic spot north of Shaoguan in the Guangdong Province that is worth checking out. It's a hike up to a rock shaped like a man's penis! Yes this is penis rock! []
What is Penis Rock? (in Chinese "Yang Yuan Stone")
Basically it's a rock in the shape of a man's sausage! Whatever name you want to call your penis. It is a naturally formed rock in that shape and even has the same curves at the top!
It has easy access if you happen to be Chinese. If you're not get ready for a mega adventure trying to find this special rock!
Head firstly to the city called Shaoguan which is in the northern part of China's Guangdong Province. High speed train connects Shaoguan with the rest of China - an option is coming in through Shenzhen. You'll then need a bus from the city of Shaoguan out to the Danxia mountains.
You can stay in the mountain village of Yao Tang near a river and coupled with another mountain village called Jin Jiang. From here it's only a 20 - 30 minute walk to view the rock that looks like a penis. You'll get a cheap hotel there.
An entrance ticket is needed and you can get them at the ticket office in front of the gate - they cost 120 RMB. They are valid for 2 days.
A map of the area of Danxiashan. I don't think English ones are available as there are simply no English speaking people about, nor any non-Chinese people. But then why should they have English maps? This is China don't forget! You don't see a map of my hometown of Bangor in Northern Ireland translated into Chinese now do you?
Head to the top of the Pavilion for sunset. The view is just stunning and well worth the trip. You can get your comedy photos of penis rock done on the way up. It's a high climb up so take some water!
What is there? A rock that is shaped like a huge willy!
Why visit? Amazing sunset, odd shaped rocks, cheap drinks, decent hiking and fantastic views.
Rough daily cost - Under $10 US
