It has long been heard that There are three major caves in Shangrao Guangfeng District (formerly Guangfeng County) in Jiangxi Province, namely Tiangui Rock, Dongyan and Baihuayan, with beautiful scenery and long history. When you come to the territory of Tongba Mountain in Guangfeng District, you want to go to Baihuayan to see.

Baihuayan is located in the middle of the lofty mountains in Gaoyang Village, northeast of Tongbaoshan Town, Guangfeng County, Shangrao City, with an altitude of 679 meters. It is one of the famous three rocks in Guangfeng, located on the top of a high mountain at the junction of the three provinces, with a protruding peak and a rock height of about 60 meters. The southern cliff forms a grotto inwards, with an area of about 2500 square meters. From a distance, from different angles, the rock surface is like an erect double-edged sword, like a palm with five fingers outstretched, and like a lotus petal. The Ming dynasty scholar and poet Lü Huai, a native of Wutongwu, Guangfeng, once studied here and engraved the three characters "White Flower Rock" at the top of the rock. Next to the rock are the four characters inscribed by Fu Erbao of Zhixian County during the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, as well as the "Blessed Land Outside the Boundary", "Now to the True Buddha Immortal Rock", "The Origin of the Buddha Country", "The First Peak in the Southeast" and Lü Huai's Five-Character Verse Poems left by the literati of the past, all of which have high historical and calligraphic artistic value.
At the cave under the peak of Baihuayan Peak, there is a temple called Guangfu Temple, also known as Baihuayan Temple, which was built in the Tang Dynasty during the Tianhu period and has been abandoned many times. The wall behind the main hall of the temple preserves the murals of the 24th Heavenly Deity of the Ming Dynasty, with different appearances and lifelike appearances. The current temple is a Qing Dynasty building, retaining the architectural features and style of the Ming Dynasty, and was rebuilt in 1983.

Turn into the Wolong Cave behind the temple, in this shady and deep cave, two giant dragons are coiled, vivid. The "dragon's throat" is more than ten meters deep, and there is a huge stone on the ground outside the temple, called "dragon tongue". Outside the temple gate there is also the famous valley "Four Sounds Valley", which stands on the back wall, shouts, and four echoes can be heard.
Coming out of Guangfu Temple, walking up a quiet cobblestone mountain road, flanked by green bamboo, pine forests, fir trees, and tea trees, standing proudly, we also found dozens of cinnamon trees that were more than one person tall. Further up, it is a rock step that is artificially chiseled out, and the steps are chiseled with the natural rocks of the mountain, narrow and steep. You can only walk carefully and slowly, but fortunately there are iron cables and thick ropes on both sides to protect the safety of tourists.

Climb up to the White Flower Rock Summit Observation Deck, where you can look out and see. Looking down at the foot, the white clouds are thick, and the mountain path is winding and twisting, like a ribbon falling from the clouds. Look around the peaks, clouds and mist. Standing here, you can also look at the three provinces at a glance. Facing the northeast, you can see the twenty-eight towns of Jiangshan City, Zhejiang Province, and The Panting Township of Pucheng County, Nanping City, Fujian Province. To the south, there is the tip of the horn of Tongba Mountain, 526.4 meters above sea level, and the top two peaks are facing each other, which is very similar to the goat horn.

Standing on the peak of The White Flower Rock, the Nine Immortals Mountain Castle is not far in front of you, and you can see it all. Jiuxian Mountain, 522.4 meters above sea level, covers an area of about one square kilometer, the mountain is steep, with cliffs on three sides, and only the north side has a small road to climb. According to the Qing Tongzhi "Guangfeng County Chronicle", "There is a stone fence on it, a Xian'e stone, which is said to be the name of a fairy in the Tang Dynasty. "In the fifth year of Qing Shunzhi (1648), Yang Wen, a farmer in the nearby village of Gaoyang, led more than 9,000 people to revolt here, robbed the rich and jimin, and set up camp on the mountain, built a castle, and confronted the Qing soldiers. Later, it was surrounded and suppressed by the officers and soldiers of the Fujian, Zhejiang, and Gansu roads mobilized by the Qing court, until November of the eleventh year of Shunzhi (1654), because of Yang Wen's night patrol, he was hit in the throat by the Qing army's stray artillery and died, and the uprising failed. In order to commemorate the 9,000 rebels who fought against the Qing here, some people called the Nine Immortals Mountain "Nine Thousand Mountains".
Nowadays, Baihuayan and Jiuxianshan Castle have been listed as cultural relics protection units in Jiangxi Province. This is a Sacred Place of Buddhism in Jiangnan, known as the "First Peak in southeast China".
