Yǐn yán: Lián tiān zhàn dào, yī xiàn líng yún; jiǔ chóng tiān wài, yóu kè jǐ xīn. — The sky-reaching walkway, one thread into the clouds; beyond the nine heavens, how many hearts of the visitors.
Jiuchongtian (九重天, “Nine Heavens”) is a 4A-rated (December 2018) mountain experience park at Lianhua Cave Village, Shuanglu town — the county’s high-altitude thrill layer, built around the 连天栈道, a walkway engineered onto the ridgeline so that the path itself becomes the attraction. The park’s grammar is glass, steel and altitude: cliff walkways, high-platform items, and the long views over the county’s folded hill country that the altitude buys.
The county’s southern hills are old, worn and steep — beautiful from below, unforgiving on foot. The stack route converts a ridge that nobody could walk into a path everybody can, and the view it sells is the one that used to belong to the goatherds: the layered ranges falling away to the Yangtze.
This is a clear-weather attraction — the walkway in cloud is a walkway in cloud, and locals check the forecast the way coastal towns check the tide. The heights are real and the platforms are glass; the shoes matter. Pair it with Xueyu Cave, which is in the same southern direction, for a single southern day out.
flowcloud would say that the county’s hills were always the view — the park just built the queue for it, and charged 98 yuan for the nerve.
