All of these terrific landscapes earned fame for "Guangxi's Lu Mountain". The main sightseeing spots are the fantastic peaks and secluded valleys, with Gannan Valley as the most magnificent sight, full of mist and clouds and steep stiffs at both sides; the high mountain and grass lands, and on the top of the mountain are six grass lands surrounded by trees where only grass grows.
