China is a marvellous country to travel in and it's great to get off the beaten track so it was time to head to the north of the Guangdong Province on a special trip. There's a location known as Penis Rock - it's basically a rock in the shape of a man's willy that you can hike up past and admire! Yes it really looks like a big dick! []
What is Penis Rock? (in Chinese "Yang Yuan Stone")
It is a rock in the shape of a man's willy! You can call it whatever you want but it looks like a big dick in the landscape and that's exactly why it's famous!
Finding and accessing the rock is easy enough if you are Chinese, or at least speak it. If you are not Chinese it could take you a while to find it but will be some adventure!
Start off by getting to Shaoguan city, this is a massive city in north Guangdong, the province in China. You can get there easily by high speed rail. China's high speed and normal train network is extensive so you will have no problems. The bus from Shaoguan out to the mountains will be the trickier journey.
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.
You need an entrance ticket. They are valid for 48 hours and cost 120 Yuan (RMB). We were there at the weekend, apparently tickets are cheaper at 100 Yuan (RMB) during the week. You have to buy them at the ticket office just before you cross into the National Park.
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 It? A rock shaped like a penis
Why Go There? Amazing shaped rock formations, fantastic sunset, cheap beer, good hiking and walking, incredible views.
Daily Spending - Less than 10 US Dollars
