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 dick rock/the yang yuan rock?
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!
Accessibility is easy if you're Chinese - if you're not, then get ready for a tiring adventure to find Penis Rock. Luckily with my girlfriend being fluent in both Chinese languages, it was easy for us to get to Penis Rock.
First of all you need to get to the city of Shaoguan in North Guangdong Province. We got there from high speed train from Shenzhen. Timetable here: Shenzhen to ShaoguanLiving in Hong Kong at present, most of my China adventures start off with a border crossing into Shenzhen. To confuse you even more, Shaoguan has TWO train stations, we needed a bus between the two of them to get a connecting bus to the Danxia Mountains. Nobody really speaks English in Shaoguan, though the Chinese folk in the city are extremely hospitable and friendly.
In Danxiashan we stayed in the village of Yao Tang - a river separates Yao Tang from the small market village of Jin Jiang. From Jin Jiang, a 30 minute walk witll take you to the first viewing platform for Penis Rock. We stayed in a hotel in the centre of Yao Tang.
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.
Once you get inside the National Park try and buy a map so you can get your bearings. Danxiashan mountains are huge and a map will come in handy, but it will be in Chinese!
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.
Cost per day - Easily under $10 US Dollars
