Jaw dropping views
Be under no illusion, the walk up this hill may be stepped and not require hiking boots but it is STEEP and high and usually it's going to be hot and humid. However, it doesn't matter how hot and sweaty you get once you're at the top - the views are second to none. Be sure to give yourself enough time here - most of the walkways all join in a big circle but there's a couple of smaller offshoots. There's no need for a guide as most of the iconic sights are signposted. I advise taking a water bottle with you - they were building a store when I went but I'm not sure the hours of opening or prices.

Breathtaking scenic views
Bajiaozhai, also known as Yuntai Mountain, Danxia landform, is located between Xinning County and Guangxi Resource County, Hunan Province. The main peak is 818 meters above sea level. It is named for its eight warping angles, and is composed of odd peaks and stone columns of various shapes. It is rare in the world for its richness and taste, and is praised by experts as "Soul of Danxia, National Treasure". Great to visit with a Chinese speaking friend, who can read the displayed information, or use a tour guide. This is important both from the standpoint of learning about what you are seeing, and what routes are best to take. The highest and lowest points of the park are 2,141 metres and 320 metres, respectively, and Bajiaozhai’s main peak is 814 metres above sea level. Thus, a great place for exercising your legs by climbing the steep cliffs.

Best of Guilin
We stayed in a hotel in Ziyuan. The hotel arranged the taxi for us. The driver drove us to the Geo Park and waited the four hours for us, while we walked the circuit. It was without doubt our most enjoyable day in China. The scenery has to be seen to be believed. The walks are well marked and safe (walking shoes). Unlike Guilin and Yangshuo here is not overrun with tourists. The steps are many and steep. So a certain level of fitness is needed. You Need to bring drink with you. The taxi cost only 150 RMB which was very cheap for the distance.
