Chinese Rock that looks like a dick!

By Jonny Blair


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 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!

It has easy access if you happen to be Chinese. If you're not get ready for a mega adventure trying to find this special rock!

Head firstly to the city called Shaoguan which is in the northern part of China's Guangdong Province. High speed train connects Shaoguan with the rest of China - an option is coming in through Shenzhen. You'll then need a bus from the city of Shaoguan out to the Danxia mountains.

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.

On the way to the Danxia mountains you need to get an entrance ticket. They will be valid for a total of 48 hours and cost 120 RMB from the ticket office before the entrance to the National Park.

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 there? A rock that is shaped like a huge willy!

Why visit? Amazing sunset, odd shaped rocks, cheap drinks, decent hiking and fantastic views.

Rough daily cost - Under $10 US
